,i-.ff JI , J Senior Class Prophecy oOo It is the year 1945, in the month of October. It is early evening and the crowds of people on the streets are intent on affairs of pleasures. The theaters are bright with lights and music seems to come from every direction. It was my first visit to Oakville in fourteen years. How different things seemed. The village is no longer, but, a active busy city is in its place, its population as given by McLean's Almanac is 100,000 and, by the way this Almanac is really written and edited by our old friend Clayton McLean. It sounds rather impossible, but it is so. You should get a copy, you will laugh until your head swims as it is fairly alive with his personality. But to return to Oakville, electric cars, suburban railroads, elevated railroads and double decked side walks are no novelty to this city and most of the inhabi- tants go about the country in airplanes. In fact one of the principle industries of Oakville at present is the manufacture of airplanes and one of our old classmates, Hilda Hillstrom, has a monster air- plane factory located there. It is rumored that her old friend Ida Kanouse Cher name isn't Kanouse nowl has invented a bicycle with wings and will soon go into partner ship with Hilda to manufacture them on a large scale. Another interesting industry is the manu- facture of Head Cheese. You doubtless remember how much Leona Lemmon used to like cheese. She has a large plant for manufactur- ing this cheese and is very successful in a financial way. She has her own trade mark, perhaps you have seen it in the paper, Lemmon's Half Moon Head Cheese . In reading about Oakville in McLean's Almanac, I noticed this item Native town-Eva Williams-singer . That set me thinking, as I thought I recognized the name. I inquired around and sure enough Eva Williams-singer was my old class- mate. She is a great success and is very well known. She has changed her name also, ,though I don't remember just what it is. Further on in the writeup I came across two more familiar names, Myrtle Provoe and Elsie Mitcheck, originators and proprietors of Kandy Kamel Company. This company appeared, after farther examination, to be manufacturers of the well known Kandy Kamel which is manufactured especially for High School pupils to eat during class periods. Oakville has grown to such an extent that among the suburbs are listed Garrad Creek, Balsh, Lankner, Rony, Callow, and Cedar- ville. In the later is located the beautiful and palatial home of Hilda Hall, well known society leader, and in Garrad Creek is the equally beautiful home of Ralph and Grace Lemmon the great movie actors, who you see every day at your favorite picture house.

CLLT A-' - ri1.1fffff11,,f1.n usiae ffrasrxlf have a whole fleet of Hillstrom airoplanes and also some Shetland ponies, with the stripes of zebras, from the world known pony farm of Rothburn Grant, situated near the small town of Seattle. These ponies are very peculiar and Grace seems very proud of them, ac- cording to the news papers. On the back page of the Almanac was a full page advertisement, advertising the life like rocking horses of the Company of Rosmond, Hunter and Rosmond. These rocking horses are designed by the youngest member of the firm, Isabel. They are very popular and quite expensive. The pictures in this almanac which are very charming were painted by the great artist Fair Morket. It is said that her annual income is in the millions. The pictures are noted for there individu- ality and originality. There are, in this Almanac, many striking advertisements, all of which, bear the trade mark of a large easter egg. This egg, so I was later informed, stands for the Volney Easter Advertising Agency. This agency is the best known in Oakville and is well patronized. Again 'I will return to Oakville and describe it to you. Where the Union High School formerly stood is an enormous depot. It is white with bright red trimmings, and is considered very stylish. The depot officials believe in entertaining their patronizers and have hired the company of Toby and Houts, to entertain. Perhaps you recognize the names? Of course you do. Every one knows how Gaynel could entertain. She's immensely popular in her new posi- tion. The high school now occupies the lands where Rosmond's farm used to be. It is bright green in color and is noted all over the State of Washington because of its originality. One of its original ideas is a professor of Poetical Inspiration. Daniel Damitio fills that position and does it very well, so I here. Another strikingly original scheme is the Bureau of Class Spirit, where for a certain sum one may buy all of the class spirit one wishes. This Bureau is conducted by two capable ladies, Misses .Ioybelle Kjellman and Ida Rasler. Now I have gossiped about all of my class mates, whereas, I started to tell you of Oakville but, I must not forget myself. Of course I know the motto Modesty is brighter than gold but I believe that my success warrants some applauding. My name is printed in gold letters on the windows of many buildings. My bank book has many columns of figures in it, and I am satisfied. eo. H. W. '24. IQ QA. ..-. I i,.. .,. lei? M,-VW4MAg gps'-11 w
