Cla s Prophecy of 1945 Like a darkened ship that passes silently in the night, Each graduating classmate slips unheralded into the sea And sails for distant ports so very vague and far That we consult the crystalfgazer's ball to see. With this medium to cut the mist That shrouds the mystic future from our sight, We watch the little boats all near the shore Where just ahead the City of Result lies gleaming in the light. Our blonde Elaine Dickinson will then design the lovely clothes That chic young women everywhere will wear, While Mary Jean's commercial illustrations Upon the pages of the nation's magazines will soon appear. Marie Krust's violin will still pour forth its lovely melodies, And all the world will stop to hear her play, While Anita Basso's talent, too, will make The world her audience on that far day. Our youthful Beethovans - Jacquie, Mary Lou, and Dorothy Mae Will have their share of public acclamation And add their musical compositions To the anthology of the nation. At any mention of Lloyd Welch, our engineer, The magic crystal suddenly blurs and fades, He's surrounded by atom-smashers And lost in a dense electronical maze. Our wandering Kenny Augustine has finally become A foreign attache, - a wandering diplomat, While Esther Lohrer has beaten him in mileage, mile for mile. A foreign correspondent, she's walked off with the map. Bruce Meyer married Helen to manage Meyer's store, And Cappy found a pretty wife to run his Sugar Bowlq So any day you'll find these two out in some vacant lot, Practicing long and vigorously to make just one more goal.

Jim and Martha, too, inevitably will merge, And jim will run the Storrer's clothing store, With six small Storrer's there to help And make the family income more. While other happy couples on our list, With their acknowledgements, appear like this: Patsy Ranowski and Pee Wee Mclntye, Wilma Lyons and Tom Mahaney, Marilyn Schultheis and jim Bronson, Dorothy Coe and Wayne Brooks, Joan Schwartz and Chuck Acker. But suddenly someone focused our gaze herself, And we find on closer study that it's our Ann. She's finally reached the goal near her heart, She's now a famous worldfrenowned comedienne. And with her stand none other than The Voice, Our singing, swinging Harold Hoenshell, And gorgeous, darkfhaired Betty Critikos, Our famous, lovely glamourfbelle. But fame has also come to Bill Cordell, Norm Henry, johnny Dingwall, Don Devoe. These four are famous football coaches now, And the scores of teams opposing them are at an allftime low Phyllis Martineau, Leona Block, and Doris Cook Are now successful business secretaries, While Shirley Meyers and Norma Nutson are successful, too. They own a whole great chain of dairies. George Tissot and Kenneth Schroeder, Our country's future agriculturists, Appear before our watchful eyes, And then the vision fades into the mists. - Pat Murdock.
