24 E x c a l i b u 1' SENIOR PROPHECY lf the '43 graduating class were assembled before Saint Peter ten years from now and asked to give an account of their life since graduating, would he allow them to pass through them pearly gates? Let us imagine that they are lined up alphabetical- ly anxiously giving an account of themselves. How chic they all look in their horns and tails! Aha! can that be a halo and wings in this group? Branson Agler has a lease in Pair O' Dicen to see how l1e'd like being Gabriel's chief assistant. Bobbie Lou Allen has taken the place of Turner in Hollywood--no, not Lana Turner. but pancake turner in the Brown Derby. Rodger Alspach, the ardent chemist, has developed a new compound called Soapy-Sudsey Soap Suds which is the de- light of every housewife. Since Boneta Anderson started using this compound as a shampoo, her hair has been growing so rapidly that she has made a fortune selling it for dolls' wigs. Richard Arm- strong just zoomed through the prettiest pink and blue cloud testing the newest Army stratosphere kites. Calvin Baer has been demonstrating his mechanical ability. His most recent invention is an automatic screwdriver. Ruth Baer is really in high society as the Duchess of Windsor's chambermaid. ,lunior Baker is doing a ripsnorting business at his Nite-Club in Venedocia. He caters especially to the Cafe Society of the surrounding territory. Marcia Balyeat is a well-known designer. Her creations are selling like wildfire-no well-dressed race horse would be seen on a track without a blanket by Marcia. Arthur and Robert Bar- rientos have developed a new cough syrup which not only sweetens the breath but also makes a cough sound like sweet music. All the men ride on the Podunk Flagship of American Airlines because Betty Bates is the Stewardess. Helen Bates has been voted the typical lap-sitting secretary of 1953 by her office force. There were three other con- testants. Leona Bebout has at last realized her lifetime ambition and is working at the '6You Knock 'Em Down and We Put 'Em Under Funeral Establish- ment. .Ioanna Beemer has become an old-maid librarian. Irene Bell has been voted Typical Mrs. Amer- ica for the last five years. Saint Peter would surely let her through. Mildred Bell will always be warm enough-she still has Cole. Paul Bodkins is now a national hero. He has sunk fourteen battle- ships, twenty-four cruisers and fifty ,lap Zeroes. The children all idolize him in his weekly movie thriller. Betty Bodiger has achieved world-wide fame from her radio appearances as a blues-singer. These programs originate from the Chocolate Room of the Ooey-Gooey Sweet Shop in downtown Spencerville. Hazel Bresler is chief cook and bottlewasher there. She licks out each pan care- fully. She would be quite fat by now if it weren't for Malcolm Brown's Beauty Salon. He specializes in creating exotic coiffures for Spencerville's elite. Hazel, however, is more interested in his competent masseuses. Martha Busch is the most outstanding tree doctor in Mexico. She got her experience manicuring her fellow Buschs in Van Wert. Because of Barbara Clark's love for dogs, she has turned her home into a shelter for orphan puppies. Barbara Click is hailed as a second Veronica Lake and has been signed by the Glorious Glistening Shampoo Co. to pose for advertisements. Howard Cobb has received the well-deserved title Fastest Man in the World -on the type- writer. The Ajax Motion Picture Studio is adver- tising Lorraine Collier as a second ,loan Davis. Her first starring role is in I Wanna Co Back to New Orleans. Watch for it at your nearest Movie. Bill Collins is a great actor. In fact, he's the sweetest bearded lady the Ditto Sister's Circus has ever had. St. Pete is gonna love him, the faker! Myrtle Collins has just left for Patagonia as a missionary from The Little Church Around the Corner. Betty Conley is the most successful lip- stick saleswoman in the history of the business. She has been selling it to the Ubanges. Sara Cook is honored and revered for the noble work she has done in her capacity as a nurse. She is the best trained nurse for dogs with the pink eye. Viola Cook is the first woman ever to win a national husking bee. She won standing alone because, mistaking the men's ears for corn, she tossed them in the wagon and no one was left to compete with her. Doyt Cox has become one of Americafs best known chefs due to his creation of Coxie's Spotless Soup. This soup will not spot neckties because it contains kerosene, and cleans instead of spotting. Virginia Crowe was a spy in the last war, and when last heard from, was having a wonderful time on the French Riviera. John Curtis has made a fortune in chewing gum. He discovered a method for reprocessing the old gum found under the Study Hall desks. Dorothy Davis is known the world over for '6Dainty Dor- othy's Delicate Delphiniumsf' These are arranged in corsages called Debonair Dickson's Delphin- ium Delightsw by Audrey Dickson. Betty and Norma Ditto are the first sisters to make a success of a circus-a flea circus. They perform in the Bearded Lady's beard to save the expense of a tent. Marie Dixon has married the man of her dreams and is now the wife of Major General McCoy, who was cited for bravery under fire in World War Il. Patricia Dull is the lady who missed becoming President of the United States because of a hat. She threw her hat into the ring, but the election was over before they could figure out whether it was a hat or not. Gloria Elder's face is seen on all the advertise- ments for Lila Etter's false teeth. The billboards feature Gloria's face with her teeth showing and the words inscribed, See, they look real. Re- cently Phyllis Evans has been knitting little things of pink and blue-for her French Poodle. Beth Ann Feigert has gained one hundred pounds. She has a st.udio for people who want to gain weight. Her slogan is You, too, can be a natural Five-by-Five? Kenneth Fetter is spending his ninth vacation in Reno. He's their most regular customer, it seems that Reno is his favorite place for celebrating New Year's Eve. Clayton Ford is a big shot' in Montgomery Ward's Chicago store. He spends all his time demonstrating toy trains for small customers-and their dads. .losephine Foreste is now headwaiter at the Waldorf-Astoria. Helen Fox is making nightly appearances dancing with Fred Astaire at Middle- point's Night Roof Garden of Edward Frerricks'
