-eeee-ee.4-e-see- ee- e -S 'S-I-H-I-S- fs Prophecy of Senior Class Ten Years Hence The other week, we heard Maxine Reed give a stirring oration on her Republican views and her candidacy for this election. She is known throughout the country as the Windy Wench. We received a letter recently from Reverend Elma Riedel, who is a missionary on the South Sea island of Tahiti. We wonder if she's teaching those islanders any ot the dance steps we've often seen her perform in Sycamore? Madalyn Shaffer is the noted football coach at Harvard-in tact, she is the only woman there. This really lets her in on the ground floor. Did you see LeRoy Tooley's picture in the paper today? He is the world's champion knitter. He was inspired in Senior English literature class when reading The Tale of Two Cities and always held up Madame DeFarge as his ideal. Billy Shedenhelm has one of the most modern undertaking establishments. His current slo- gan is Feel Low? We'll Lay You Out. His old classmates aren't seeing him much-he has such a greedy lock in his eye. Rosalea Shedenhelm is the fireman on the old Wabash Cannonball. You can hear her whistle to the hoboes every morning as she shovels coal while going through Sycamore. Robert Shellhouse, the man with a future, is currently employed making the nationally known Betsy-Wetsy Dolls. He gained the needed skill for the trade while at home taking care of his own little darlings. .lack Sigler is employed as a Rodeo Rider on the Ride 'Em Ragged Dude Ranch in Texas. He still has his old charm and grace even while in the saddle and his spectators consist mostly of ladies who cheer him madly when he shows daring skill and who tear their hair in agony when he bites the dust. Want your portrait painted? Then the man you want to see is Wayne Frederick Walton. You will find him residing in his mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City, mid butlers and ser- vants galore. Like the typical painter he has grown a beard and wears horn rimmed glasses. He has become quite a man about town. His friends call him Mike -after the famous Michael Aneglo. Wayne Walter is the leading beautician at Madame's Beauty Parlor. lt has become quite the fashion to have one's hair styled by Monsieur Walter. He, unlike other men, did not divorce his wife when he grew tired of her. He merely gave her a new hair-do and fell in love again. Kathryn Walter recently scaled the Empire State Building. We congratulate her on her suc- cess, but she says she'd rather have fallen . . . into Bob's arms. Martha Wagner is giving rhumba lessons in her South American styled studio in Chicago. She says this is her contribution to the good neighbor policy. This concludes the various activities of the class of '43. I am sure you will all agree that each and every one is an outstanding success. May our under-classmen protit by the example we have given them. ..21-

S I H-I-S -14314-B Prophecy of Senior Class Ten Years Hence We see our old classmate Charles Bell strutting about displaying his medals for heroism, which he earned while in the Eagle Squadron, when it flew over Tokyo and Berlin, in World War ll. We found Craig Curlis in the Big Top of the Barnum and Bailey Circus, where he thrills millions of spectators with his breath-taking quadruple-somersault in the air. And where do you think we found Miss Hazel Coffman? Why she was swinging it out on the old pianoforte in the Well-known Swington orchestra. Then there's little Pauline Fadley jthe former Miss Gillis of our classj who is debating whether to give up her husband and two children for her other love, the opera. Remember Jim Hufford? We find him wowing his fans by his outstanding pitching on the Brooklyn Bums Baseball team and still Wowing the ladies by pitching a little woo on the side. Remember Irene Hushour's staunch resolution to get away from Sycamore? Well, she got just as far as she could. You will now find her residing in Old Town with her third husband, four cats, one dog, and her long fingernails. Since the war women have taken many man-sized jobs and occupying one of these positions we find Mable Hussey auctioneering for the You Want It Used-We Got lt Company. She didn't develop those phenomenal lungs in high school for nothing. Confidentially, she might auc- tion her heart off to the highest bidder. Her little sister Phyllis is the present champion of the Crush 'Em Hill 'Em Wrestling Club. She developed her muscles after one does of Super-vitamin pi1ls. We just read in the newspaper that the world will end exactly ten hours from now. This was phophesied by the famous astronomer, Prof. Donald Hnieriemen. Because of this the general public has come to regard him as a crack-pot, but the Senior Class of '43 will stand behind him. We saw our old classmate, Paul Hoehl, in the motion picture serial, Hi-Yo Caleb, in which he acts as a stand-in for Roy Rogers in the scenes that are too much for Roger's nerves. Have you seen Spitfire Spike jMary Anna Lehnhart to youj in the latest smash-hit on Broad- way? Her graceful performance of the Can-Can dance keeps millions of Stage-door Johnnies at her beck and call. We saw Emery Lundy with five of his eight children in tow at the circus yesterday. He has been working day and night on the railroad to support his little family and this was his first day off in five years. Our classmate, Marijane Martin, is a chemist of great renown. She has just discovered a tor- mula that brings back youth. Poor Mary! She experimented on her boy friend and as the solu- tion was too strong he is now in rompers. This will involve waiting about twenty years so that they can be legally married. We knocked on a neighboring door the other day and who do you think appeared in apron and dust-cap? Our former classmate, Dale Myers. It seems he was cleaning house and had his orders to be finished by the time his little wife, Hepzibah, came home with her weekly pay check. Doris Nestor hasn't changed her initials as she is now Mrs. Newby. She is the famous pos- sessor of the Newby Ouintupletsn which you have all seen in the newsreel. Incidentally, they all have red hair and green eyes. -20-
