SHELBY HIGH SCHOOL FLEUR DE LYS Perhaps the biggest event of all took place on April 30 when we skipped off to Ann Arbor to spend the day. We stopped off at Grand Rapids to eat our breakfast and then journeyed on. We arrived at our destination about noo11. We had a delightful time-different groups returning at all times. However, most of us got back in time to attend the Freshman Party given May 1. Later all the girls took parachutes and landed near Stony Lake where we spent the week end. The fellows followed our example and landed too, to spend Saturday evening with us. As our trip drew to an end, the Juniors gave us a royal banquet. The gym was beautifully decorated in the Senior colors, blue and silver, with their flowers, American Beauty Roses, on the tables. XVe leave our plane of Education with sad hearts. but with our motto. Our ideals are near the stars, we are sure we will land' our planes in the field of Success. -Ina Morse Class Prophecy As we, the prophets, look searchingly into the magic crystal globe, the years swiftly drop by-until suddenly 19-16 looms up. What has 'happened to all our classmates of 1936? Where are they? What have they been doing since their graduation from Shelby High School? These questions, and many others concerning our classmates keep running through our' minds. Therefore by untiring patience and divine inspiration, we glean how our classmates fare in their ways of life in the year 19-16-just ten years after our separa- tion. We find that John Achterhof. after experience in the stock market the past few years, has become a broker in New York City. Forrest Acker has at last realized his ambition and after years of training has become Lieutenant of the U. S. Navy Corps at Annapolis. We see Gerrit Adema, the well-known hunter and trapper, preparing to make an expedition into Northern Canada. William Ames, formerly called Bill, has given up his position as dancing teacher in a private school in Chicago. He has made a contract with a picture corporation in Hollywood. They expect him to become a second Fred Astaire before many months. Ellen Babinec, the famous lecturer, is touring the United States giving talks on Governmental Problems of the Day. Josephine Baun, who was the first nviatrix to fly around the world in a non-stop flight, has returned to join up with Paul Whiteman, Jr. and his orchestra. We wonder if Jo has been able to solve any of the radio's unexplainable electrical phenomena. Jesse Beckman is now football coach at Notre Dame. We find Thomas Blackaby a famous motion picture producer in Hollywood. We hear he has just completed a very successful year. Fred Dawson never did care for the big city, so he bought a farm and has become a very successful and prosperous farmer. Max Dekker, after completing a theological course, was placed in charge of a large Wesleyan church in Chicago. Theron Echelbarger, the noted movie star, has returned to Hollywood. He has spent the last few months touring Europe. James Ensign has married the -farmer's daughter. He makes hay while the sun shines and sows wild oats while the moon shine . Remember how good Esther Fox used to be in shorthand? She has the position of secretary to the president of the Ford Motor Company. Lera Griffith has achieved an honor never before held by' a woman. She has been appointed ambassador to France. Lester Hansen, the celebrated fruit grower of Western Michigan, has just pur- chased himself a fleet of trucks to go with his business. Donald Henrickson has held the position of janitor in the Senate building for several years. 22
