l2 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK The Prophecy On a warm sultry day I hastened toward the gypsy's with an irresistible passion to know the secrets of the future. I entered the tent where the crys- tal was kept, and here is what I beheld. I saw Stanley Cruickshank receiving the position of Chairman of the Paris Town Council Welcoming Committee, a new and popular Society whose duty it is to greet all visitors arriving in Paris. A large crowd watching a ploughing match brings to my view George Smith and Lloyd Hamilton, two of the wealthiest farmers in Brant County, and known throughout the county as the bitterest enemies during a plough- ing match. Bill McKibbin is seated at the desk in his office with feet on top of the desk, gazing with pride at the new sign which has just been stretched across the main street. The sign reads: Wm McKibbin, Auto Accessories, all parts to all cars from 1914 to 1960. Another sign announces the rage of the year, the new hair dress intro- duced by Mary McKeen Pinkett, and done exclusively in her new Beauty Salon. And now I see a great military parade with Paul Anderson in the car leading the parade, Paul having risen to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the entire Canadian Army. Paul owes much of his success to a new super gun used exclusively by the Canadian Army and invented by Bentley Robson who has become Minister of Defence in the Canadian Government. I next see Gordon Campbell entering a Trans-Atlantic Clipper plane which he has been piloting for several years. Now there appears David Moss giving a hearty welcome to Lloyd Humphreys who has come to Paris for a few days. Lloyd has had a brilliant career on the baseball diamond and is now manager of a baseball team. Da- vid Moss is one of the leading citizens of Paris, being Scoutmaster of one of the finest divisions of Boy Scouts in Canada. James O'Neail, now Mayor of Paris, makes the presentation. Donna Cowan, after years of faithful service in the Red Cross, has re- turned to Paris to become matron of the Hospital. I see Kathryn Edgar doing the daily duties of a country housewife. There next appears Jack Muir, known as the successor of Walt Disney, and acclaimed throughout the world for his excellent comic strips. Agnes Maus is still teaching school in the little white school house near Ayr. The scene slowly faded, I gave the crystal back to the gypsy, and left the tent with a feeling of pride welling up within me because of the promis- ed success of this class. Lawrence E. Watts.
