---vf dass Prophecy Now a peaceful valley came into view. Down a slender winding deer trail came two men on horse-back, dressed Ranger garb. Mr. Kenneth Wisecup and Mr. Kenneth Cadman. They always liked nature and this was their reward. Now the crystal ball took us to a modern, yet moderate house of Senator Borah E. Davies, for- mer student at Ogden High School, who has just won nation wide acclaim for his successful filibuster against the United States entering the third World War. P. S. Senator Davies said he owes it all to his civics class. The scene was rapidly changing and then we saw that the place was Hollywood. Miss Eliza- beth Marquardt, the head photographer for M. G. M. studios, was telling Mr. Junior Thompson and Mr. Harry Giese, M. G. M.'s comedy stars, just what pose would photograph the funniest. Just think, another Laurel and Hardy! The ball seemed to slide around as the scene came into view. No wonder, it was on an ice rink. And now he viewed Miss Marylin Wirtz, figure ice-skating champion, of the world, giving an exhibition. Marylin gives the credit to George and Skeets, the janitors of Ogden who could wax the floors till they were as slick as ice. The ball switched to a modern kitchenette where we saw a rather small and beautiful lady preparing breakfast for her husband. As she turn- ed around he saw that it was the former Miss Marvel Ames. The door to the kitchenette start- ed to open to admit her husband, who was, also. a former student at Ogden, but gosh, the scene faded out too soon to see who he was. The Misses Marjorie Varner and Dorothy Don- clson, who had just finished their third book of poetry, were rated as the two best women poets of the last century. Their books have broken sales records each time that they have been released. The crystal ball vibrated' with the roar of a huge airplane. He saw a large Red Cross painted on the top of its wings. He glimpsed the inter- ior of the plane and saw in special cots the men who had just descended from a stratosphere flight. They had contracted some new disease from the fine matter particles floating around in the strat- osphere. A special nurse had been detailed to at- tend them on their trip to a hospital. It was Miss Lorraine Wright who was the nurse. Miss Wright has been a nurse for five years and has been credited with the saving of seventy lives. From the crystal ball came the very best of oders as he smelled the delicious cooking of Ruth Erickson who was the chief tester of recipes sent in by the radio listeners of the Omar Wonder Flour program. Miss Erickson was given credit for perfecting the bread flour, so much that it wins pancake prizes. Now he heard two women talking. Mrs. Mike Stumbo, the former Miss Eleanor Campbell, and Mrs. Herbert Peddicord, the former Miss Arlene Lark, both of these girls were formerly of the class of ,40. The conversation was constituted of two main subjects, the foremost was. How To Keep a Hungry Husband Contented, and the latter of the two was, Is Marriage Life a Success- ful Enterprise? written by the reknowned, Naomi Clark, who was the foremost expert on how to make a marriage the most successful undertaking that there can possibly be. He whizzed across the city of Denver, Colo, and stopped in front of a very modern beauty salon. He saw at thc reception desk a very charm- ing lady. The plaque above the desk said she was Miss Raechel Caldwell, formerly of Ogden. Am- bitiens do come true, you know, and it looked as though this was no exception. She is famed for her men's permanent waves. Then he was astounded as he saw his own office in the crystal ball. He saw himself giving dicta- tion to a pert stenographer. Miss Rosella Freie, the stenographcr, accepted the job of school steno- grapher, because she thought she could encourage the students of shorthand and typing, to do their best and because she wanted to record these ex- erpts, Mr. Holzapfel saw in his crystal ball.

flass Propfzecy Back to the big city, up thirty floors in the Empire State Building, in the spacious office of the executor of the Rockefeller estate, sat a secre- tary, rather small, dark haired, and pretty. She was Miss Betty Ehlers. Betty once said high places bothered her. Well, can you imagine that! Then to another part of the big city, then to Madison Square Garden, where the highlight of the boxing card for the middleweight crown of the world. It was Mr. Pat Tilley vs. Mickey Shay, in a r 5 round engagement. The odds are on Pat. at three to five. The crystal ball seemed to take in the audience and we saw in a ring side seat two very pretty ladies, Miss Charlotte Nelson and Miss Dorothy Dillman. These two ladies believe in the career idea, Cyou know ,men as a past time are just to kill time.J They have a nice little shop for Inter- ior Decoration. Then a highway appeared, and speeding down it was a great white semi-bus. Inside, was a man driving, and in the trailer was an all-girl orches- tra. It was Miss Doris Clausen, with her all-girl orchestra, which is as famous for its Dine and Dance music as is Doris with her piano that talks. The crystal ball seemed to go dim then light up again as the brilliant light of a well lighted poultry farm came into view. Seen there was a man, Mr. Keith Hunter, as he made his last rounds. He must have been throwing a party, be- cause it was just xzoo by the clock. The crystal ball flashed and then vibrated with swing music. There was a rather short gentleman wearing a tuxedo, and smoking an imported cigar: the sign on the office down the hall from the dancing said, Mr. Bud Wolber, Private. This lit- tle rendezvous of the hepcats in a very classified model of high class nite spot in Des Moines. Bud seems to have prospered. Switching to the Main ball room of this place he saw sitting at a booth well off the main floor two very attractive couples, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Blyth, the former Miss Jeanne Wilson, and Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Miller, the former Miss Janice Garland. Both ladies were of the class of '40, Behind the scene, Paul and Virgil are both in the agricultural field, working on soil reconstruction for the Dust Bowl. We may find a nursery in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Blyth and also in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Miller. The Blyth's have a boy of six and the Miller's have twins, both girls, five years old. The crystal ball faded. Silence. Oh! Here it came, another gridiron, the two teams seemed even- ly matched, and who sat on opposing benches but Coach Merle Sherbring and Coach Floyd Tilley, both of these boys were formerly stars on our own gridiron, and they graduated from Notre Dame, both being star athletics while there. Sorry there wasn't time to witness the game of the future but our time was limited. Time and tide wait for no man. What was next? Black clouds, thunder, crash. and lightning illuminated the heavens in a display of Nature's handicraft in fine works. Above this turmoil were seen two trim fighting planes, single seaters, spit fire, and in the cockpits, were found two lads talking by radio. One was Ralph Ray and the other was Vernon Wenger. They have gone to help the Democracies in Europe's fight against communism which had control of almost all Europe. Both boys have 30 planes to their credit, and are known on both sides as Hell's Angels. The loud cry of infants drifted to us from the crystal ball and a small modern brick front build ing appeared with the inscription on the front, Check your baby while you shop. It seemed that Miss Ruth Kuhl and Miss Jo Ann Miller are helping the family budget by running a baby nur- sery. The crystal brought into view a very familiar assembly hall. Why it was Ogden's l l l It thun- dered with applause as a man in a gray suit step- ped before them. Well, by the great planet Jupi- ter, it was Eldon Bergstrom. He has set him- self up in the Animal Husbandry side of agricul- ture, and, look where he is today! Lecturing on the same in the Agriculture world!
