Class Prophecy Con't. Trapeze artist Cutie Haeussler has divorced his fifth wife. He believes variety is the spice of life. To hear Lynn Burdick, folks tune in from afar He is the newest comedian on W.J.R. And onward as the future rushes, Eugene Weed sells Fuller Brushes. Pythia's trance was over She had spoken Apollozs word, And given to me a prophecy, The best I have ever heard. I had listened to her most carefully As her words were put into rhyme And I've read the fortunes to the class As she told them, one at a time. My prophecy now is ended And may the future for us all hold The luck, the health, and successes That the Oracle at Delphi told. THE CREED OF THE CLASS OF 1943 by Marilyn Dietiker Four years ago, when we, the class of '43, entered high school, we were a gay and carefree group. Perhaps if the creed had been written at that time, it would have been in a lighter mood. Now, with our country at war, our creed has a serious aspect. We firmly believe a democracy to be the best form of government, and we believe our government is worth fighting for. We believe in religious freedom. We believe in the flag of the United States of America, and the way of life it signifies. Even during wartime, we still believe in laughter and good times, but the strife of our country has given us a new purpose in life. We realize that the young people of today must build the world of tomorrow. We believe in the curse of ignorance and go forth to educate and teach the joy of serving our fellowmen. Many boys from our class have left to fight for their country, and many more will follow in their footsteps. In this way, they pledge themselves to protect America, and preserve the freedom they believe in. Some members of the class will seek further education, while others will work in war factories. Thus, each one will contribute to their country's final victory. We believe in the present and the opportunities it affords. We shall strive to help our nation to the best of our ability. We shall serve our country with all our hearts to retain for the coming generations the democracy we love. We believe in the future and look forward to it with a sincere hope for a peaceful world. We have complete faith in our ability to make the future worth- while, and we hope that our achievements will bring honor to our school. This is our creed as we go forth to face a troubled and war-torn world, determined that we shall have the courage to strive for that divine joy of liv- ing which comes only to a free and peaceful Christian nation.

CLASS POEM Loud rang the note of the organg the processional march began. A solemn stillness held the air, a hush falls while all turn to stare. Slowly down the aisle they come with heads held high and proud, These Seniors, who would graduates be, moved thro' the endless crowd. Their feet tramping out the rhythm, hearts singing out a song. The old life slowly fading, and new hopes and dreams are strong. There is Marion Bredernitz and Russell Bearss, hand in hand they swing along. Their hearts are doubly happy for they know it won't be long. Here comes Alberta Robison with her heart all a- flutter, None other than David Vaughn is walking there beside her. Ohhhh my!!! breathes a chorus of whispers from some feminine voices near. For here comes Wesley Jahnke, the most popular boy of the year. Marilyn Dietiker feels so very blue. nHe's not here,' a voice seems to infer. She looked around and there she found, Lynn Burdick was right behind her. Then necks did stretch and hearts did break, for down the aisle there came, Miss Lois Deede with more 'oomph than glamorous Veronica Lake. Ed anderson came proudly down the aisle, upon his gown he tripped, And blushed a beautiful bright pink which made the people smile. Next comes Alice Klein, our Valedictorian. She smiles and breathes a sigh of relief, For she knows her work here is finished and she will always remain our chief. There is Charlotte Phelps our Salutatorian. She marches on very calm and serene, For her heart is in California with a brave and strong Marine. Oh, there's dashing Eddie and his dear Flo. How happy they seem to be. We call them the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the reason, you can easily see. Virginia Luckhardt and Laura Sally softly step to the rhythm of the melody. Their fairness and simplicity glowing, their charm and friendliness we see.
