History (Continued) In May, the juniors honored us by presenting a lovely banquet, one that we shall never forget. And now that Commencement is here we, the seniors, long renowned for our volubility, have no words to adequately express our joy and appreciation for all that has been done for us. May we simply say, “We thank you, all! It has been a perfect graduation time. CLASS PROPHECY by Patty Dickey and Orson Austin THE SETTING: Patty Dickey, a very ambitious and adventuresome young woman, has spent some time traveling in the Far East, and has made some very interesting dis- coveries concerning devices for the revelation of the future. She has purchased a globe from an old native in India which has the power of revealing future hap- penings with unfailing accuracy. A chance meeting with Orson Austin ends in an interesting evening spent at the Good Luck Restaurant, Vermontville, in prophesving the future of their old classmates which reads as follows: JACOB LENIK is publicity manager of the “Saturday Evening Post.” He is following the rule “Always Sell Yourself To Your Customers. DICK WEILER is now president of the Kaiser-Frazer Motor Company in Detroit, and has as his secretary someone whom we know very well. Wonder who that could be ? JOE CASWELL, is now business manager of the “Detroit Free Press and doing fine work. In another two or three years he will probably own the newspaper. He has donated many fine printing machines to the Vermontville “Hornets’ Tri- bune”, whose circulation has now reached its 60,000 mark. RICHARD SCHNEIDER has a cute little candy store of his own in New York. We all know that Richard was always very fond of sweets and always made the girls happy with his many contributions. GLORIA CAREY, Vermontville’s Brain Buster, who taught school for a number of years in our own little town, is happily teaching her own little six--one pair of twins, one set of triplets, and a singleton. PRISCILLA HALL is a pharmacist and assistant to Mr. Fred Meade. Her friendly air and flashing hair may always be seen in our local drug store. ED ZEMKE is an all-star basketball player on the United Nations Team. He is doing very well and has an annual salary of $2,000,000 a year. Nett bad for a starter ! As you enter the new million-dollar high school building in his home town, you will see a bronze plaque bearing the inscription: E. Zemke, Donor.
