'A Lua... Cllass Prophecy 1938 V 1939 - 1940 - 1941 - 1942 - 44 - 46 48 - 50 - 5.2 - 54 - 56 - SS. Sold to the American Tobacco Company. The twentieth reunion of the Class of '38 is to occur next week, So while waiting for the boys to get in town, I observed many changes in the part of tl1e city of Fall River which was formerly called the Flint. Prevost High is now one of the biggest High Schools in this section of the country. Even the famous Rolling Rock has lost value with the growing fame of that Catholic Institution. I was wandering aimlessly about the streets when suddenly the cry 1 MPAPER! EXTRA! rang in my ears. A newsboy advanced toward me. Paper, Mister? - Yes , I obliged. I then began to peruse the paper. The head- lines read: Roland tj. P. Morgan, Chabot After Second Million . VVith awakened interest I scrutinized the story that followed. It told that it all began when Mr. Roland Chabot was at Robert LETOURN EAU Prevost and won a certain iifty bucks' raffle. Goes to show that every particle helps. A caption on the front page revealed 1 Cop Catches King Hobo . I looked closely at the picture and I observed a resemblance to some mug who shared schooling with me. The few lines below the picture stated that Lieutenant Rudy Lepage of the Homicide Squad had made the spectacular arrest of Public Hobo No 1, Normand Hamel, who was charged with tipping his hat at a railroad conductor, which according to the rules of The Hobo Society is a grave offence, subject to one-hundred years in jug. I also saw on the front page the wording : FLYER FINDS l'lERMlT . The sub-title commented : Cote, Noted Flyer, Finds Lonesome Hermit On Hawaian Isles . The story wasrall about Gerard Cote who was stranded on the I-Iawaian Island in an attempt to ily the W'orld Non-stop. I-le had left New York, zoomed across the Atlantic. Europe and Asia but was forced down at Hawaii for motor trouble. On the Island he met one of his class mates, Reginald Durand, who was doing some dry-cleaning for the Islawaians. Regie's claim was that their wash is much smalier than that of the average American. So nmch for front page news. Nonchalantly I turned pages until my eyes were captivated by the picture of a horse. M y sub-conscious imme- diately reminded me that this was the sports page. Beneath the picture I beheld a title printed in bold type 1 lVu Fang lYius Santa Anita l'Iandicap . 'lihe story that followed related that Win Fang, a Chestnut horse owned by Raymond Roux had roinped home in the SF 100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in quite an easy fashion. This prize animal had also been selected the racer of the year according to many horse handieappers. Good work, Fang. Be.ow that write-up was tl heavy lettering that ran thus : Local Sportsman Shoots Biggest Rabbit of Season . The hunter was Roland St- Amand who claims that placing his trust in his faithful shot-gun, his fear is greatly diminished. The following page was the editorial. The left top column of the page supported the staff of the paper among whom outstood the name of Marcel Boyer, General Manager ot' Publication Depart- ment. 98- 1 Lli PRIEVOST
