rink W U Senior Class Prophecy ' nf,-,,,.f One day I decided to find what had happened to my classmates. I took a month's vacation from my nursing profession. Upon arriving in Plymouth, I found the home economics teacher was Janet Miller. The commer- cial teacher was Larry 'W?1'sErEri Tlie chemistry teacher turned out to bclloyal Eckstein. janet informed me that Plymouth now had two coaches, a head basketball coach and a head football coach. Upon seeing the coaches, I found them to be none other than Percy Dean lfootball coachj and Larry-RQ fbasketball coachl. Plymouth was now third in football standings and second in basketball. Perc and Larry seemed to be doing a great job with the teams. Janet also told me that Robert Wirth was study- ing to be a professor of English. Carol Kiess was also in college studying for her Masters Degree. While shopping in Plymouth, I met Donna Baker , who 'told me she had been married for four years and had twins. Since this was toward the end of the school year, Janet said if I would wait, she would be glad to accompany me on the trip. First, we traveled to Cleveland to visit Geor ianna Pitzen, who had become a professional ice s ater. From Cleveland, we left for New York City. When we arrived in New York, wt- went into a little shop, THE FASHION SHOP, We found the owners were Janis Taulbee and Shirley Bradford. Janis was nowlalleading lfat designerf When their models came out, we found two of them to be Harriett Ra and Sandra Trauger. Sandra and Har- 1T 1'ld-GZ they TlscThad HTeif-oivn television show. Janet decided to go into a beauty shop to have her hair set. We found one of their hair de- sioners to he Shirley lletler. by LOVCH Mc Kinney We spent a few days in New York, then flew down to Florida. At the hotel where we registered, we came upon Vir inia Bevier, who said she was living in Florida wifh' EeTfaTrily and pet monkey. Upon finding we had enough money, we flew to California. We were on a sight-seeing tour of Hollywood, when Janet thought she saw a familar face. Upon closer observation, we found it to be Alfred Par- kinson who was now a major in the air force and stationed in California. Janet and I decided to visit a movie set. When we arrived on the set, we were surprised to see David Koser. Dave told us he was now a movie star whE'had the second leading part in the movie STARS OF GLORY 'l. He told us his personal agent was RObCl't Fogleson, After five days in California, we left for home. The plane was grounded in Utah. They said it would be about an hour's wait before the flight would be resumed. Janet and I decided to get someting to eat. While on the way, we passed a sign which read MUMEA'S GARAGE. Out of curiosity we went in and sure enough it was Ronald Mumea. One of his salesmen turned out to be Iafkwiss. When we arrived home, we came upon Elsie Reber who was just going on her vacation. 'EEE was now a private secretary to an insurance firm in Cleveland. While in Columbus shopping, we met Lee Steele who told us he was assistant basketbalfrf- ach at Ohio State. We also met Ray Kleman who was in Col- umbus on farm business. He and his father farm on a partnership. It seemed that they had become a credit to PHS-

A dim old family portrait, hanging over the mantel in a family mansion fnow a tourist homej, plays a central part in this thrilling play that has so many ex- citing and scary moments, and yet is so full of romance and farcical fun. Sometimes it's a string of stolen pearls that creates the excitement fthe thief has hidden them back of the portrait, and a confederate is there to pick them upjz sometimes it's the machinations of a pair of shrewd picture dealers from the city that create the suspense. For one dealer intends to trick the Scott's into selling the picture for a mere S25.00, and the other knows well that the picture is a bargain at several thousand. Each of two young couples has used the picture as a handy mailbox for their love notes land of course the notes get crossed, and there's a humorous mix- up that lands one girl in the arms of her brother instead of her boy friend, while the other girl finds herself in the arms of a perfectly strange young man 1. So, for various reasons, a number of people are hanging around the old portrait, and viewing each other with considerable suspicion Add to this a pair of hot- tempered fathers who quarrel with each other, but whose young people have fallen in love, and you have the ingredients of a fine play with a splendid array of parts. In addition, there's Fann, the maid, whose snappy romance with the Irish taxi driver provides so much fun and laughter through out the play and brings down the curtain on the third act in a perfect gale of laughter.
