The 1946 Senior Class Rockwood High School SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Well, here it is the year 1966, and I have one more trip to make before I settle down. Tfh-is trip will be to the planets. I boarded a rocket ship at New York City, and started on my journey. After traveling for a few hours I finally reached the planet Mars. The first place 1 decided to visit was a beautiful nightc'ub. To my extreme surprise, I saw Elaine Growall, conducting the largest orchestra I had ever seen. She still had her lovely red hair and blue eyes: and she was wearing a very chici cos- tume made in the very latest fashion, which had all the shades of the rainbow in it. At intermission Elaine introduced me to the proprietor of this magnificent nightclub, Harold DeVore. Harold was the handsomest man on the planet and was very popular with the fashionable young ladies. Guess who the leading chorus girl was? It was was none other than llly dear old friend, Doris I.. Snyder. She was dressed in one of the most beautiful gowns that her designer could afford. The audience sat spellbound as she appeared on the stage. 01'-0v0w fouoaeowfanovowo-f:a'0w 1946 w0:'o'-1010aQow0f:0n0ae0af0.Q0i:0-f.o:f0w0w0-f0tw1f0-f.

mfmsmeatmfmwtfawt-a1afa:aw:0tataw1w.w.e VIST AS ntafasoffa--aftafattaeatawweatmtmemtaeas SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the members of the senior class of the Rockwood High School, realizing full well that school days cannot last forever: while we are now half in our right minds, and still influenced by the advice of our faculty, and envied by the juniors, do hereby make, publish, and declare, this to be our first, last, and only will and testa- ment, by which we attempt to make distribution of our extensive estate and king- dom. ARTICLE I SECTION I. To Mr. Bowman we leave a great sense of loss when we no more enter the school about 9:10 rather than 9:00. SECTION II. To Mrs. Martin we leave a bigger and better senior class and when she tells them to do something they won't answer, WHO! ME? SECTION III. To Miss Burnworth we leave our ability to give current events and slide by. SECTION IV. To Mrs. Livengood we leave many years of happy married life with no troubles but little ones. . SECTION V. To Mr. Berkebile we leave a bigger and better lab, test tubes and all. SECTION VI. To Miss Mulhollen we leave all the fairy story books in the library. SECTION VII. To Mr. Newman we leave all the little ternperamental mathema- tition he can get. SECTION VIII. To Mrs. Hickson we leave the most beautiful evening gown to make up for all the gowns she gave to the kids to wear to the Prom. SECTION IX. To Mr. Musser we leave a bunch of kids who know how to work them buzzin saws and things. SECTION X. To Mr. Reese we leave all the daily tests he gave to us so he can give them to the following senior class. I hope they will be as bright as we were. SECTION XI. To Mr. Illar we leave the best band in Rockwood. ARTICLE II SECTION I. To the members of the junior class we will our dignity. They will need it if they live up to the high example we have set as a -class. SECTION II. To the members of the sophomore class we will our good looks in hope that they may be able to impress the faculty as being more intelligent. SECTION 111. To the members of the freshman class we will our ability to learn. This ability is a necessary asset if freshmen ever growl i11to seniors. SECTION IV. To our beloved faculty we will a period of rest and quiet, free from all interruption by us, and lacking in all the troubles we have brought them. SECTION V. To the furnace we bequeath our textbooks. It is our hope that when winter winds howl in the coming term, the fire burning in the f-urnace will cause a warmth in the rooms of this high school, and will bring a reminder of our happy days here. SECTION VI. On the fourth row in study hall and the third seat in the row, on the under side of the desk will be found a wad of gum. This wad belongs to Idella Compton who narrowly escaped being caught. We will this wad of gum to the first person claiming it. SECTION VII. Being unable to find any student in high school who can qualify, we are unable to will our ability to make perfect grades. Therefor we request that this ability be left in the little grade books of the teachers and guided by their dear hand in the hope that to some fortunate student there may fall the mercy and the goodness of the heart of the faculty.

aw-wiv-fav-Q-wwvsozwwswafaaw-eawiwata VIST AS onatawwlaw-Qatatmartawwtoitaataivfcaifa One block down the street I saw a very elaborate restaurant, where I decided to get a snack. As I neared, I saw the sign: Fern Vtfeyand-Proprietress. Upon entering I hardly recognized Fern. Fern, who was rather thin in R. H. S., was now a large jolly woman who weighed about 230 pounds. I wonder who her cook is? I was utterly astonished to see Mary Crisafi approaching from the kitchen in white dress and cap carrying a bowl of steaming hot chili. Mary is still a refined lady just as she was back in our school days. After seeing all the interesting places on Mars I decided to take my little rocket ship and tly to the planet Pluto. On the outskirts of town there was an immense farm with a large white house trimmed with blue shutters and a little white picket fence. As I drew near I noticed a figure, which seemed familiar.--Alas! It was IIICZ Bittner, who is now happily married and helping her husband manage this beautiful farm. Inez was looking very well and was very proud to introduce me to her two little children, who resembled her very much. The most exquisite dress shop was in the city of Starlight with Ruth Welsh as the one and only model. She was modeling the most elaborate dresses for Manville's seven wives. In this same city, I decided to visit one of the lawyers and find out some infor- mation about their form of government. Whom do you think the most well-known lawyer of the city was? The one and only Harold Weyand, one of the most brilliant members of the Class of '46. Harold's curly blond hair was just the same as I remembered it when we were just school kids. The Chief General of the Army, Dean Gary, was visiting Mr. Weyand. Dean acquired his military genius in the Army Ol Uncle Sam, and is now making very good use of it in directing the Army here. Next, I decided I would visit the biggest university of this metropolis. As I walked into the bundmg, tue notice L saw on the door read-James Schrock, Dean ot I was always the University. I ber back in High and then sided in cide on a position wondered how james acquired this position because as I remem- School Jim always waited for someone else to make the decisions with them. CMaybe some alluring young woman helped him de- of Dean.j looking for excitement so I went to the circus, which had just come to this beautiful city. In the afternoon performance, the first act was that of ine clownsg featuring the non. Elmer Ditnehopper, who was known as Kenny bouen- hagen back in R. H. S., where he was always introducing some new wise crack and getting a laugh from his fellow classmates and an angry look from the teachers '1 he next feature was that of the acrobats, in their most thrilling, dangerous, and ex- citing, performance. To my complete surprise who should come marching out into the spotlight but two of my classmates-Mary VValker and Mary Vought. They were still thin and I guess this was a great asset in their line ot work. At least they didn't have without them as were always the headache. to go on a reducing diet. They were always pals in school and a pair I doubt very much if the circus could continue. These two circus of the class and caused our principal, Mr. Bowman, many a so many breath taking stunts at the circus, I went home to my down in an easy chair and began reading the only newspaper pub- lished on this planet, 'l he Radar Daily . The first thing that caught my eye was an article about hlrnest Enos, now a wealthy cattleman, from the northern portion of this planet, who was bringing a large herd of cattle to this city to be sold at the stock markets. I remembered that Ernest was the quiet, sandy haired young man in my class, who was very much interested in taking all the Agriculture courses given Ll11ClCl' the able instruction of Mr. Musser. Gosh, the knowledge gotten back in lx. h. S., suiely helped him win his way in the big, wide world. After seeing apartment. I sat After seeing all the things of interest which Pluto had to offer I continued on my journey to the planet Jupiter, which proved to be more interesting than any other planet I had visited so far. Upon my arrival there I was invited to attend a reception given by the Presi- dent of the planet. When the host greeted me I was pleasantly shocked to see Johnny Sanner, red hair and all.
