In the dark backgrounds of the village of Delray, two Southwestern students happened to meet a weird person gazing over her crystal. She had the ability to foretell the future and was going about the procedure of bringing to her vision the mystic futures of persons whose names jhe mentioned. Our two spies, as they secretly listened, memorized her methods and techniques. The students of the January ’49 class obtained the fol- lowing information of the future from them: At Elise Hardy’s rest home, we come across Eliza beth Borbas and Mary Czegledi after their recent break- down, (shortage of males). In the heart of Delray, we find Harry Arkelian and Appo Zamanian managing the “French Hat Shoppe . The new model, worn by Betty Ryno, is a hat that Del- ray dust will not penetrate. In the 1960 Olympic diving contest for married women, we find Shirley Ambrose and Athena Markus doing a fine execution of the “belly smasher”. On all main street corners, wc find the widely pub- lished paper, everyone's News, edited by Lirio Angelo sante. Starting as cub reporter is Eugene Kuthy cherish- ing his one inch spread on page 36. At our latest fashion show, we found Carol Koche- var and Angeline Mandziuk modeling the new 1850 bathing suits. As president of the Young Men’s Club, we find Dolores Farkas giving lectures on “How To Get a Date”. We find Floyd Compton, head editor of “Love” magazines, w riting his newest story, “Real Heart Aches”, guaranteed to make bold boys good. One of his most attentive and ardent readers is Willy Harbowy who buys two copies in case one wears out. Going on his 1313th flight, with his cat Blackie, we find test pilot Ralph Brehmer testing the new rubber band engine invented by Richard Eix. 12A Prophets Reveal by Dawn Bergeron Judge Joe Rizo is now presiding over a case in New York Circuit Comt, the case being between Bob Walin- ske and George Simons. It seems Bob sold George the Brooklyn Bridge without giving him a bill of sale. Angelo Tremonti is the greatest surgeon i.i the medical association. He is recognized by everyone as “butterfingers” because of his limberness in all surgical movements. His ideal, “Doctor Mitty”. Frank Lipchik, a devoted bachelor, was sole judge at a beauty contest in Florida yesterday. Today the au- thorities are rejudging the contest. Running the Main Cafe at Miami, Florida, is James (double deal) Czegledi and Frank (nimble fingers) Mol- nar. One of the patrons who plans to buy the place is Eugene Didyk with a new system he calls a sure thing. With position of bouncer, is Richard Redmer who keeps things in order. Down in the Delray Opera House, we find Julia Berna and Rose Marie Galitz singing a duet from Car men. At a Detroit Lion’s game, taking pictures at every angle, including from the goal posts, are Frank Sokolitz and Bob Bone. Enrolled at Loraine Masuch's “Art of Sewing” college, we find Sophia Nairn and Angeles Kasparian. Sophia is knitting socks and Angeles is trying a new crea- tion, fingerless gloves. At his own private laboratory Manuel Caladino has come upon a great achievement — a new hair dye for girls, aqua blue. W'earing this new style are Barbara Manning and Diana Miller. Still enrolled at Yale, we find Agnes Kizner and El- vera Holthus. Today’s game in football is between the Boll Wea- vels and the Cotton Bowl Eleven. On the favored team the Boll W'eavels, are stars Lloyd Axford, Paul Scafuri, and Bob Perino. Paul Scafuri broke his collar bone in practice yesterday, but the fighting man will fill his posi- tion as usual today. Mary Magusin and Merry Rambeau, together at Sun Valley are teaching Mary Ann Rosnyai the graceful art of skiing, which they have mastered. Today is the day they go off the jumps. George Krikorian and Steve Peters are stretcher-bearers. A remark from the boys: “Business is wonderful.” Page Fourteen

 Presentation of the Spade by Irene Medzigian As a graduating senior I am proud to present to you this cherished emblem of Southwestern High. This tra- ditional spade represents friendliness and good sports- manship. I know that the incoming class will try to uphold all the high standards this spade symbolizes. Acceptance of the Spade by Barbara Yurmanovich I am greatly honored at having the 12B class bestow upon me this great privilege of accepting this cherished spade from you, the senior graduating class. We, the future seniors, extend our congratulations to each and everyone, and we hope that we may carry on the high standards that you and your predecessors have set before us. Thank you. Presentation of the Pick by Manuel Caladino A great honor has been bestowed upon me by my senior class to present this time-worn pick, a symbol of Southwestern’s everlasting friendship and good scholar- ship, to you, the leaders of the future. May you keep its flame of honor burning bright and guard it with all your will, as our class has done in the past year. Good luck to you, the graduating class of tomorrow, and may God guide you through life with success and happiness. Acceptance of the Pick by James Cowden As a representative of the present 12B class, it is my honor and privilege to accept this pick for my fellow classmates, from you, the graduating class of January 1949. One might call both our classes the Forty-Niners; and the forty niners, as we all know, were the first real prospectors in America. May we, the future seniors, keep the high standards that you left behind; and if possible surpass them. Good luck to all of you. Pafe Thirteen
