Harken, O Ye graces and disgraces of men and women and little children: Harken and take heed to the words of wisdom uttered by the prophet of the Senior Class of 1941. Out of the mouths of babes come these words of truth and prophecy. Looking into the distant future, we see the members of this illustrious class as they go about their various activ- ities. t Martha Schenk, the violet of our class, is now an aviatrixi She writes her love letters in the sky iinstead of on paperi. Next we find an immense hospital constructed by Samples and Weibel who are engineers. In the School of Nursing, we see Mary Hall as Chief of Staff, maggie Adams as an instructor, and Louise Dold, still a student looking for a handsome doctor. We see Jane Hyatt as an exclusive model at Abe Gladsteins. With her we find Hary Snider as her dress designer. What--or who is this we see?? No, it can't be: But it is: It's hhrtha Diefenbach, the world's renowned mud wrestler and her manager, Joe Meyer. Martha has decided to ask Joe to marry her so she will be sure of getting him. We find Barbara Deich working for the Splinterless Bahia- ter Company. Her new job is testing out banisters.
