4 CLASS PRCPHECY 4 Word has been received in Sturgis that the Ambitious Amazons, the world-famous girls' basketball team, currently touring Europe, have just won their 150th consecu- tive game. The team is co-captained by Norma Adams and Florence Bashore. If you should by chance walk into the Podunk Center gymnasium on a mid-winter afternoon between the hours of 4 and 6, you would most likely find George Pork Allen scrimmaging his State Basketball Champs in preparation for the national finals. j Q The Twin Valley Players have just fin- ished a successful season under the guid- ance of Laura Spencer. Betty Baker took the laurels in their magnificent production of Romeo and Juliet. The star pitcher of the Detroit Tigers, who has been given such publicity of late, is none other than Walter Beckwith of the S.H.S. class of '41. Muriel Bell is now doing her famous tap routines at the Chez Paree in Chicago. You remember Houston Blanchard-the boy who took that reknown deer trek to Pennsylvania in 41? Well, it's a different story now. It is said that next fall he will leave for Pennsylvania' for a dear hunt along with another dear hunter. The younger social set now invades a new joint'l in this metropolis-the name being Juaiiitais Ji-iii-Jam Jiimpivi' Jive J oiiit. As you have probably guessed, it is owned and managed by Juanita Blodgett. Jim Blossom, world famous collegiate basketball star, has finally been caught up with--by the state eligibility rules. Even though he will be a senior next year the offi- cials forbid his playing basketball . . . it's his tenth year at earning his diploma. Bob Kauffman has just completed his new sure seller, Gone With the Mindmill, a homey discussion of the underlying prin- ciples of farming, such as milking a cow and laying an egg. Martha Hill and Virginia Hills have retired after a successful court battle to gain custody of the accumulated earnings of their relative, High-on-a-Windy' ' Hill, who died several years ago. Mrs. Phillip Rhoads, 11ee Sylvia Hub- ner, is receiving visitors now. Not long ago she forced upon her husband two new little Rhoads, christened Back Rhoads and Lonely Rhoads. Drs. Charles and Albert Holtz, are do- ing a land-office business with their new Foiirtli Hill Looney Bin, run in competition to the Third Hill outfit. Says Drs. Holtz, We must thank Sturgis High School tan- other institutionl for our marvelous train- ing. Miss Virginia Hudson has finally burst C and we do mean burstll upon the televi- sion screen as the Lullaby Lady on the Pet Milk program. As an added attraction, she drinks five gallons of the sponsor's product per program for advertising puroses. Bob Kelso is reported to be holding out for a larger salary as bat boy for the Chi- cago Cubs. After a tempestuous marital career, during which two husbands mysteriously disappeared, Sister Betty Reed has en- tered a convent. Miss Jean Farnsley has returned to her former profession in the bakery busi- ness, but is now the owner of the only Am- erican Pastery Shop in our city. In this advanced and ever changing cen- tury, we find Miss Laura Flowers busily cor- recting papers of her typing class which has done its own correcting up to this time. It's different now. As a rapidly increasing demand for metal boats has caused the Freeland Sons Company- Boats and tanks for river banks- to expand, we find our former math student, Jim Freeland, figuring out the correct size boat for the new oars his family has just given him. As good secretaries are at a minimum at this time, and we turned out a great number in the class of '41, we find the Froh Sa Gage Employment Agency, Elaine Froh and Evangeline Gage in joint partnership, swamped with requests for a secretary who is single, nice to look at, and conversational. So far they have filled all requests. All must eat, is the slogan of Mr. Howard Frye, who has recently purchased the local Super-Super-Superb Food Market, the only one of its kind. Miss Margaret Hahn is now head of the Home Economics Department in the public schools. The future wives shall now learn CContinued on Page 732
