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.

Roberta Wildman, I see in my magic crystal your home, situated on Lake Erie, in a town named Clemorr. In years to come your favorite food shall be Waldorf salad made from apples from Nebraska. Ah, Dean Dorathy, my eyes behold you trudging down from your mountain retreat to have your hair cut and beard shaved. Your beard was your most prized possession until some uninvited guests arrived and took over. You've been itching to get a shave ever since. Owen Packer, my magic crystal shows you as the great- est debater since Lincoln. Your next debate will be with Mr. Stuart Warner. The subject is WTO be or not to be.W A billboard comes into view. It pictures you, June Skarin, modeling the new Zipperettes. The printing reads: WKeep your girlish figure girlish, with the new Zipper- ettes.W Since the retirement of Velez and Yolanda, the Ginz- Paree has been packed to see the sensational dancing of Carmelita and Juan. You, Anita Mummart, are Carmelita, and Robert Woodworth is Juan. Kathryn Raser, my crystal sees you as one of the mem- bers of the Russian ice skating team which is touring the large cities of the United States. After the tour, I see you in Europe again taking the leading part in the inter- national ice review. For you, Marie Rodee, I see great happiness in a coun- try cottage with your small family of light-haired chil- dren. Beware! Do not say anything about the way your husband slicks his hair, for you may become a widow and take up a partnership with your former husband's brother making axel grease. Jane Shearer, my magic crystal shows a prosperous future for you. I see you as the heroine in the feature NRenfrew of the Royal Mountiesn. Your directors are con- sidering a Hawaiian story for your next picture since your fans are clamoring for you to wear a sarong. I see a quilting machine, quilting a quilt which you, Daisy Van De Wostine, have made. You are running a quilt- ing shop. Above the door I can see the sign: WBuy a Quilt for your Johnnyn, Mrs. Betty Jane Plumley Van Astor woolworth Snider Fontleroy Sycamour Jones, I see that you have filed suit for a divorce. The charge is incompatibility.
