The remaining few weeks before commencement will pass swiftly and on May 30, 1940, the class will don caps and gowns and march through the doors of P. H. S. as other classes have done and future classes will do. In the heart of each are the memories of four happy and useful years, packed away like four bright jewels.

CLASS PROPHECY N'Tis a lovely dayn, sighs the class of 'LO as they pile into the cars that are to take them to the circus. Soon they are rolling merrily along. The billboards at the side of the road blaze forth the news that Mummart's Flying Circus has come to town for a two weeks' run. The stellar attraction of the show is the act called NSwing and Sway with Murray and Perrin.W The show seems to have attracted many celebrities from far and wide. Riding in a Royal Marks-man is Miss Pearl Rumble, greatest character actress since Mae West. Miss Rumble was originally a teacher in P. H. S. but moved to the west coast in 1940. Other attractions on the 'iiillboards are Miss Ruth Forney, who taught Latin so long she forgot the English languageg Miss Ellen Smith with the greatest collection of tape worms in the worldg-Wilbar A. Craig, strong man dee luxe, and V. R. Olmstead, calliope player extraordinary. Just two blocks away from the circus the seniors see Doc Layman's Medicine Show trying to compete with Mummart's attractions. Mr. Layman is principal of P. H. S. also. He divides his time between the show and school. Across the street from Layman's Medicine Show is Lind- say's farm wagon filled to the top with farm products. Mr. Lindsay is trying to pay his way into both shows with pro- duce from his eleven acre farm. The seniors proceed on their way undisturbed by these sights and presently are strolling along the grounds, Sud- denly they are attracted by a small tent. A sign outside informs them that Madam Thorelius tells fortunes by a crys- tal globe for only twenty-five cents, Everybody decides to have his future life revealed to him so each student enters the tent. Marian Olmstead, the vision grows clearer and I see you seated at a piano, tickling the ivories while the pa- trons of the Chinese Sweet Shop glide in and out, enjoying the rhythm of nChopsticksN. My magic crystal shows you, Grace warkina, as the writer of an W0ld Maid's Columnu in the Ladies' Home Jour- nal.
