June 1040 The PINE BOUGH—'46 Page Eleven CLASS PROPHECY 1945-46 An atmosphere of mysticism seemed to envelope us as we approached the tent of the great Madame de Larita Immafake. Within a few minutes we would behold the greatest of all who delve into the mysteries of the supernatural. Now that we were so close to the solution, even those few minutes of idleness seemed almost unendurable and combined with this air of suspense it seemed more than we could bear. After endless moments of waiting we were admitted into the abode of the Madame. Before us sat the one whom we had sought for years. The only one who held the key to the mystery which had loomed before us for nearly a decade. At last we were about to learn of the fate of our most admired and respected Seniors of 1946. Our entrance seemed to make no impression upon her. She sat peering into the depths of her crystal ball as though she were Jamison. Albert Andei«on has become world famous as a “card-shark.” Helmer Jones’ famous “Advice to the Love-lorn” columh now appears in the New lork Gazette. Lolle Anderson remains a milkmaid. George Schleder is in serious condition in the General Hospital as a result of indulging in his new atomic drink. After a number of hopeless searching—searching for something not easily or readily reached by even such a learned one in the arts of the Mysticism as the great Madame de Larita Immafake. We were almost at our wits end with out attempts to attract her attention. At last when we were about to make a quick exit and a more impressive entrance, she lifted her eyes and beckoned us to stay. After a brief introduction we immediately informed her of the purpose of our mission. Without further ado she proceeded to procure the wanted information from the crystal ball and provided us with the following facts: Olive Stevens is taking in washings to support her hubby Duane searches for respectable (? ? ?) jobs, Ida Fugate, Marie White, and Katie Wynn have finally yielded to the teaching profession. Wayne Goldenstein is now operating the Huba.Huba night club featuring the “Atomic Blondes,” Bernice Schmidt and Dorothy Scott. Harvey Cromett has now advanced to the more prominent position of janitor in the P.R.H.S. Janice Olson’s dreams have been partially fulfilled, she is now licking stamps for Frank Swoonatra's secretary. Doris Schoon is now singing with the Salvation Army street singers. LeRoy Greims has improved considerable in the street cleaning business. Lelrose Dubbs and Amy Heath remain homeless since the closing of the “Old People’s Home.” Earl Sevesind has been promoted to water bov on the U. of M. football team. Still believing in fairy tales, Betty Lewis continues her desperate search for the Fountain of Youth.” Wayne Baker recently incorporated the “Burp-Mor Pickle Factory.” He has employed Lois Showers and Helen Holtz to peddle his product. In a final attempt to capture a man, Henrietta Flategraff and Jeanne Clements are now operating a bachelors home. Dolores Schultz and Luella Carlson have devoted their entire careers to educating feeble-minded cats. Wilbert Bowman and David Hojem are engaged in the sewer-digging business. Leading pianist with the “Klap-plez” orchestra is Teresa Fraser. Doris Ludlow is taking good care of her little army, awaiting the return of the Major Tommy Davidson. Merlyn Raph is permanently employed at one of Pine River’s largest and finest hotels as a bell-hop. Marie Krueger has become quite efficient as a baby tender. Leonard Hardy monopolizes the entire chimney sweeping business of Mildred. Eugene Cad well hopes to graduate from the P.R.H.S. this following spring. It’s a tough struggle but we’re sure he'll make the grade. Mardell Skaar has endured employment with the “Kiddie-Galore orphanage for seven years. And so together we departed from the presence of the Madame. At last the greatest of mysteries had been solved. It had been a disastrous fate to have befallen such a group of remarkable students. And as we meditated, a prayer issued forth from our lips. It was a short prayer, only that the 1947 graduates had been a bit more fortunate when they met their fate. Turning our feet toward home, we shuffled slowly through the usual six inches of confetti and once again we left behind us the familiar scene of the Pine Rvier Annual Carnival at 3 a.m. What7 We’ve missed one? Who? Delarene Dougherty? Why didn’t you know, she spent years and years learning her profession? She is the great Madame de Larita Immafake. And now as we recall their class motto, “Success be Our Destiny,” we conclude, many have reached their destiny, but still have a long journey to success.
