CLASS PROPHECY Oh, what a beautiful day to fish, I'm sure that they will be biting today. Here is a likely spot with a soft sloping bank to lie on while the finny denizens of Old Beaver are deciding to take that succulent and inviting worm. Will 1 ever make the little wife regret that she took so unco-operative an attitude this morning when I announced that I intended to catch the dinner for tonight. There you are fish, grab a hook. Get away from that bait you little punk, swim home and send your grandad. There that's a good bite. Pshaw! he went away. Ho hum, this is a warm, sleepy spot, z-z-z-z-z- —Well, well, well, I must have nodded. That was a wonderful banquet. I didn't think there would be so many here, especially of the old class of 1948, even if it is the twentieth anniversary. What a fine gym the old school has now, just the right size to house a huge crowd like this. Let's see the program. I just missed two talks, one that of Supt. Warren. Oh, well, I missed a lot of them during high school. Wonder if I can pick out all of the old class. That looks like Don Fisher, it is. The tables turned for little Fish'' as his strong arm tactics got him a job as bouncer in an exclusive club owned by Wayne Johnson. Jerry McKay has passed his civil service examination and is now working in a bureau in the Federal Government—a Furniture store. Melba Myhre, we find is a proprietor of the new Gypsy Tea Room and doubling as Crystal the fortune teller. She uses a crystal ball with two holes in it so she can go bowlig on her days off. Tony Brenneis despondent after being divorced by his third wife, enlisted in the army and was asked by the examining doctor if he has any scars. Tony replied No, I haven't any scars but I can give you a cigarette. We found Harold Potter happily maried and after all these these years he was not henpecked. He related the reason as My wife goes her way and I go—hers. Morris Dannelly is an internationally known lawyer. During his last important case his client received a suspended sentence; they hanged him. Marilynn Goodman is a hard working woman now as a midget window cleaner. She goes around cleaning people's eyeglasses. Dorris Hill is still just as lazy now as she was back in high school. She is so lazy that instead of brushing her teeth, she just puts her brush up to her teeth and goes to see a tennis match. Larry Collins, the boy most likely to succeed, is now a tramp riding the rods of the St. Edward Limited. He accosted us relating a sad tale of how he hadn't had a bite in days. So we bit him. Max Flaherty is now a great philosopher and likes to travel in his own car because he says he runs across so many interesting people. continued on page 15 — 12—

Thirty-three Sophomores drug themselves back to school, still worn out from their Freshman year. It didn't take long for them to get back in the groove and start the old grindstone for another year. By the time school was aut in May they were bubbling over with the anxiety of being Juniors next year. Though not the most outstanding class this year it contributed greatly to the major activities such as football, basketball and track. Talent was also shown in music and dramatics. It was the honor of the Sophomores to have the three cheerleaders chosen from their class. On November 11, the tradition of giving the Freshman a party was carried out.
