7fze lm Senior Jing!! Prrfphc y A QUICK GAME OF TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES f , Look forward, look deep into the crystal ball, and ye shall see my brilliant future, say I, Class o 41. The crystal floods, and as it clears, Anne Milteer stands at the altar, a blushing bride, her one-and- only by her side. As she fades from view, Mary Parker, with brush and palette in hand, appears, putting the hnal touches on her masterpiece. After this, the pictures come in rapid succession. There is Barbara Adams in a massive palace, her childhood dreams realized. She is followed by her many attendants as she paces the silver floor, a chariot of glittering gold awaits her at the door. Jeannie Clark and Joan Lagarde fthey have both added to their names, but it's a sccretj are eating ice cream cones while they tear along the road at White Sulphur Springs on their way to meet their surgeon husbands for a game of golf. Jane Austin-in spite of the fact that she has just played the most astounding match of the tennis world, even surpassing the record of her predecessor, Alice Marble, is modestly accepting The NVQ- man's Singles Cup at Forest Hills, New York. Helen Tully, John Power's star model, is slithering in and out of Bergdolf Goodman's and Jay Thorpe's more expensive gowns and passing them off on New York's less voluputuous niatrons. Pixie-like BuddyH Fenichel leaves the crowds at the Madison Square Garden Horse Show simply limp as she lifts the stallion Chatham Hall over the bars. As Nfrs. Cook has retired to the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mzirgie Anderson, her suc- cessor, is left guarding the portals of Stratford. CSl1ZlClCS of Franklinis, Margie, who'd have thought itlj Schumann-Heink revolves in her grave as Madaiiie Littlcjohn C Kathie, as she was when we knew her when J sends a high Z richocheting through the Diamond Horseshoe, VVe find Carolyn Lambeth out in the country, with the birds twittering and the cows mooing as she niilks Bessie for the breakfast of her red-headed tribe. Nellie Lea, true to her earliest training in Social Problems, is now working hand-in-hand with the Hays oflice. Frances Richardson, scintillating in whale-bone and satin, holds the lever of Charleston's social wheel. Winifred Haywood, in her trim-fitting khaki uniform, is busy boosting the morale of Uncle Sam's Air Corps. We see that the well-dressed woman of the day is wearing Rusty Fasliions-and q1crlIe.rjigurfJ, my deahl l Scotty Spear is busy making kilts for her young Scots. Jean McDaniel is madly chasing around the campus in pursuit of her absent-minded professor- husband, who forgot his umbrella. Blazie, between clicks of the knitting needles, is very much occupied with the bringing up of her children according to Schoollicld's book on Ilryclzology or Via, Uf'er.ra.J All this with the optimistic view that there will be a world and a future! Blazie, Jeannie, School'lield. P. S. For a nickel more, we will swap and give you another. P. P. S. Consequences?????????r Senior Hal! WY! I have given you my History and my Prophecy, and now there remains but one last thing for me to do before I go: Leave you the Consequences to my Truth.'l Jeannie and Blazie do hereby bequeath to Nancy Sultzer Cwhat there is left of her after she corners the Chesterfield marketj their door-knob, curtain-rods,', and vic. Cliiguratively speak- 1n . g ,K'Schoolfield leaves her midnight visits to Stratford to anyone who can get away with them. Barbie Adams leaves her unsurpassed technique to Jeanne Anderson. Carolyn Lambeth four red-headed darlingj leaves her interest in Hargrave' to Holly Lockwood. Jean lVIcDaniel leaves to all future students of Latin her love for the subject. Helen Tully leaves her shy, reserved nature to Marion Meloney. Anne hffilteer leaves nothing, she is taking it with her. Joan Lagarde and Kathie Littlejohn leave their 9:30 to Io:oo o'clock Gymnasium to future Stratford acrobats. Jane Austin leaves the air she never got To any other Yankee who happens to be hot. She also leaves Sultzer and Thorpe, much to her regret. Jeanne Stowell leaves her reserved seat in Bradley's to Margaret Hancock. ' Margie Anderson leaves her heavy, heavy hangs over your heacli' bookshelf to anyone else with suicidal tendencies. To Miss Fitz-it is enough that we must leave her. Last but not least, we leave Miss Martin, our sponsor, our deepest gratitude for her grand coopera- tion and hard work for our class. Goodbye now-see ya' soon! 'ICLASS or '4l

7fze lm SENIOR COLLEGE WILL AND PROPHECY CCo1z!inuedfro1n Page 20, Mr. Hoot-Owl shook his head sadly. Hlim afraid she isn't much help in that capacity. One look at her and all her husband's patients get well immediately. Too bad-she's ruined a line practice. Isabel Emerson, who leaves all her various black and white keys to Holly Lock-wood upon gradua- tion, becomes one of the greatest musicians of 195 I. Virginia McLean cuts short her startling rise to musical fame to marry a handsome foreigner and spend her life contentedly icing birthday cakes. Another member of your class who attains national prominence is Bette O'Neill. She is awarded a sterling silver horse for the Best Woman Athlete of I951. There's no need to ask you what becomes of Barbara Shields, is there? That's all quite definite now. Yes, you're right, agreed the blinking Hoot-Owl, but there's a surprise element that creeps in somewhere. It'll be a pleasant shock to several of her friends, I believe. Betty Barber Maynard, who leaves her black hair to Helen Tully, is destined to become the advertising Manager of the New York Times. And speaking of hair, Bernice Heard presents her long, lovely, luscious locks to the shortest-haired girl in school. She feels that in her new position as Consult- ing Lexicographer of the World a few yards of hair is just a nuisance. Barbara Armentrout, better known as the queen of socks, leaves her knitting needles to Madeline Schloss in order to take up a profession where her popularity and friendliness receive full recognition. Her official title is Head Hostess of the United States Navy. You know, Mr. Hoot-Owl, I've always felt that Josie Lewis would really do something important. What about her? 'flosieis job actually is the most important in the world, replied the Hoot-Owl when the reverbera- tions from a particularly loud clap of thunder had ceased echoing. She conducts a school for children and is famous all over the world as a true exponent of Chaucer's theory: And gladly learn and gladly teach. i' -. Mildred Rogers, wh, esgher subdued alto to Barbara Adams, is the Hrst graduate of your class to receive her Master's e from Columbia University. Her thesis was entitled The Importance of Chaucer in the Modern World. Also at Columbia is Katherine Williams, worldafamous masseuse, who takes the kinks out of tired students nerves. Gloria Sullivan, who leaves her artistic ability to Flossie Tucker to help her with her biology drawings, is coming out in a whirl of debutante parties in Cleveland. CShe waited until she got to be a big girl-lj And speaking of Cleveland, Agnes Swain and Ned are living contentedly in a little bungalow in a suberb of that city. In the silence that followed these words, I realized that the storm was about over, for the moon struggled through the clouds and a pale ray of light glistened on the wet window sill. The Hoot-Owl ruffled his feathers as though preparing to fly away. There are still some more, I reminded him. . Yes, I'm not forgetting. Betsy Davis, who leaves her blushing beauty to all the little apple blossoms, reaches new heights as Queen of the Carburetors at the big IQSI automobile show, featuring the latest car models from all over the world. And Mary Evelyn Shelton, because of her promptness and dependability, becomes the time- keeper for the Elgin,Watch Company. Before they leave the factory, all the watches are set and reg- ulated by her. The Gretna songbird, Kathryn Colbert, bequeathes her bass-baritone to Gertie jenny Lind jones after her marriage to Marko Maloff, the world's greatest tenor. She feels that one singer to a family is enough-so all her children take dancing. 'fOf course you know of Kit Benson's success as an army ofhccr's wife. But she is also gaining in- ternational fame for her great epic poem, The Song of Roland. Alice Fulton leaves her serenity and poise to all the College Seniors of next year. They'll need it, and she won't-at least, she'll have to keep only enough to carry her through her big church wedding. Because of their ability to keep up with anything new, Polly Rhyne and Elsie Garvin become the very modern hostesses on the new, streamlined submarine, The Firh. And that, said the Hoot-Owl, Hying down from his perch, takes care of all who really get somewhere. But, wait! I cried. You haven't said anything about me yet. Will I ever-3 Quoth the Hoot-Owl, Nevermore. MARY EVELYN ,IEF F ERSON
