CLASS PHOPHECY All Aboard! The '52 Limited is now leaving on Track l9. A scenic trip through California, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Ohio is promised to all aboard. First Stop, Long Beach, California: Here we see the old married couple Dottie Payne and Erle Radel with careers and children keeping them busy. Second Stop, Phoenix, Arizona: We find Tom Bromelia, Henry Galati, Gaylen Underkofler, Joe Tarro, Dick Hayman, and Jerry Seymour running a large meat-packing factory. Third Stop, Houston, Texas: Out on the range we see Barbara Summers breaking in horses with her foreman, Frank Saraniti, looking on. Jack Bazanski is lazily munching a cactus and resting under the shade of a big tree. In the distance we see the beautiful ranch house which was built by Carpenter Dick Knapik. Fourth Stop, Nashville, Tennessee: We'Il have fifteen minutes before the train continues its journey. A tour around the town would be interesting. The first building we see is a modern supply store owned by Steve Evans and Gerry Krejci. Still farther up a high mountain, music pours forth from a cabin. lt's Julia Szuhay and Mary Ann Green harmonizing a hill-billy favor- ite, Somebody's Been Beating My Time. This is less painful for Time than for the neighbors' ears. Fifth Stop, Wheeling, West Virginia: Immediately we take special notice of a scene in front of a local church. Connie Kummers is pacing the walk in front of the smoke-darkened building. Obviously Roy Anthony hasn't re- turned from the Army. Sixth Stop, Miami, Ohio: We find Moe Griffiths, Bob Hammel, and Elaine Evans studying for their PhD's at Miami University. Miami will never be the same after this. Seventh Stop, Warrensville Heights, Ohio: Mayor Lawrence Chesnik has called a special meeting with his councilman, Jim Bushman, concerning Jo- anne Farrow, Betty Hino, and Rose Papp who are married and causing hous- ing problems. ln another part of Warrensville we find Joanne Ball still caring for the broken legs of a certain football player and the smaller mem- bers of his team. Bob Mutch is planning a fishing trip to Alaska and is inducing Jerry Kaczor, a famous scientist, and Tom July, a physical educa- tion teacher, to go with him. Bill Taylor is following in his father's footsteps and is answering a fire call at the home of Virginia Lewis, an elementary teacher at Orange. lt seems that Ginny left the stove on and her whole house is on fire. Chief Taylor will save the house, no doubt. Nurses Joan Kough and Beatrice Gloss are caring for Frank Normali, a soda jerker, at Huron Road Hospital. Eighth Stop, Orange Village: Betty Fidler, Nadine Tretera, Carolyn Mapes, Elaine Turk, Sally Bair, and Marilyn Pence--all bustling housewives-are talking about that celebrated author, Prue Warren, who is writing another book on a very deep subject. Frank Anthony, former Orange resident, now resides in Elyria because of a certain feminine interest. Pat Schill and Shirley Rice are still at Orange refereeing volleyball games and trying to complete their test on the Junior National Official Rules of Volleyball. Allen Starkey is at Orange H. S. attempting to work off his French credits. Ronnie Schmidt and George Lloyd are working diligently as professional vault cleaners. Dave Titus and George Hanna are still working on experiments and blowing up the chemistry lab at Cornell University. Jack Toth, with a thirty-year con- tract, is performing on television in place of Milton Berle. Arnold Keberle is kept busy these days making floral designs for Ralph Mowery and Chuck Fronstin who are planning the big day. Jim Nelson is beating his brains out trying to figure out some new football plays as coach of Orange. Betty Alexander is down on the farm milkin' the cows. Helen Spondike is an old maid still looking for a man. Before we make our final stop we will have to spend a brief time at the Whirlaway Speed Track in Orange. Here we see Martha Marason, Fay Fischer, and Rosemary Kainec piloting their hot-rods around the mile-long track. Our final stop and the end of our journey is at Peek-a-boo Observatory where we look through the telescope and see Rachel Collier and John Dodd living on the moon. Up there with them is Dr. Bill Kieger who went along just for the ride.

JU Illll CLASS PLAY LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Kainec, J. Farrow, R. Schmidt, B. Summers, G. Hanna, P. Warren, J. Kaczor, J. Benes, B. Kieger, E. Evans, A. Griffiths, J. Worley, R. Papp, E. Radel, R. Collier, T. July. Promptly at 8:00 P.M., March 16, 1951, the curtain rose on Susie the Siren, the hilarious Junior Class play. The farce was ably directed by Miss Trimple who had efficiently guided the class through dramatic efforts in past years. Dramatic and scatterbrained Susie, who attempts to imitate a sultry siren, was portrayed by Joanne Benes. Moe Griffiths and Julia Worley, cast as Petey and Gusie, are constantly involved in a series of scrapes but always manage to shift the blame to Jerry Kaczor. Other members of the side-splitting comedy were Prue Warren, George Hanna, Bill Kieger, Joanne Farrow, Barbara Summers, Tom July, Rosemary Kainec, Ronnie Schmidt, Elaine Evans, Erle Radel, Rachel Collier, and Rose Popp. They all con- tributed to the success of the play and had a fine time doing it. Judging by the audience reaction, their efforts were amply repaid. l
