:ig R -I2 SENIOR PROPHECY On the evening of March 4, 1951, I was sitting in the presence of Prince Pat, the psychic wonder. He had been acclaimed the most outstanding, phenomenal psychic by the mental and psychical research societies of America and Europe! I-le could call names, give- business advice, and domestic and romantic enlightenment.. I had gone to see this gifted individual with hopes that he could tell nip what had happened to the 1931 class of Warrensburg High School. And so, here l was sitting in front of none other than the great Prince Pat in person. After paying the small price of Hfty dollars, he suddenly went into a trance. The lights grew low and there appeared before him a 'sparkling Crystal. Most wonderful Prince Pat, I said, please tell me of my friends who were Seniors in Warrensburg High School in 1931. Suddenly there appeared in the Crystal the figure of Robert Mayes in an art- ist's smock. Robert, he said, is working on his masterpiece, one of the greatest paintings of all times. He is painting the picture of the famous actress, Dorothy Eckhoff. By the way, Dorothy has just gotten a divorce from her fifth husband, WVilmer Ross. She had decided to marry Bill Stockton a second time. The scene changed and I saw Ailene Fitch leading a group of Communistic re- volters. In the crowd I recognized the faces of May Azalea Logan, Louise Estes, Helen Hughes, Thelma Stark, Ruby Michael, and Helen Cunningham, who are now famous club women of America. Carl Davis, he said, is now the national president of the Fire Prevention Association. In co-operation with him, Lucille Ele offers her practical advice. Prof. Foster is now in a laboratory working on a chemical fire extinguisher. He married Dixie Griffith and is 'living happily ever after'. Whatever happened to one of our most famous classmates, Banner Rice, I asked. Oh, Prince Pat replied, 'the' is a master of ceremonies in the same cabaret in which Dorothy Todd dances. Harold Miller leads the orche,tra. I was growing quite shocked when I found out that he knew so much about our class. As the last scene faded, there' appeared the image of Junior May. Junior, he said, is the president of the Broken-Arch Shoe Company. He has as his stenog- rapher, Hazel Ball, and Rozelle Higgins a.s his secretary. He does business with such great men as Ragner Boyd'of the Skyscraper Construction Company and Jack Brown of the Black and Blue Taxicab Company. They are co-operating in an ei- fort to elect Murray Williams as Mayor of Chicago. In the Little Church Around the Corner could be seen Asa Burlingame be- hind a huge pulpit and leading the choir was our famed singer Lewis McNutt, aid- ed by Bernice Paddock. Carol Foster was playing the organ while far to the front in the amen corner sat our famous Francis Loman, with Mildred Kintz. Most Marvelous Prince' Pat, I said, what happened to James Mayes? As quick as the words were uttered there appeared his image clothed in the spotless robes of a surgeon. By his side were three nurses, Lila Belle Herndon, Margaret Alsbury, and Glenn Sims. Harry Priest, who is now a missionary, Lucille Prussing, Genevieve Wood, Katherine Wilborn, Velma Temple, and Anna Mae' Dulhani, he said, are in China as mission workers. Their expenses are being paid by the noted philanthropist, Everett Wade. Everett made his money by fur trapping in Alaska, He Sells them to a mail order house owned by Clarence Lockardf' VVo,n't you tell me about the rest of the students? I said. He replied that he needed another twenty dollar bill, which I promptly paid. Dorothy Jones and Ada Berneice Brown, he said Hare boop-boop a-doop blues singers over the radio. Ada Keith gives her daily cooking recipes over sta.- tion KUKU in Red Falls, Iowa. Vera Frances Hagemeyer ,gives the beauty talks while Mary Frances Mattingly tells the bedtime stories. But you haven't told me about Rube Ogle'by, I said. Oh, yes, he replied, Rube became a famous lawyer. He defended Mary Carolin Krohn in her attack on the theory of evolution as advanced by Rodney Fitch, who has been called the second Einstein. Mardelle Estes is writing his biography which will soon be- published. By this time, the lights gradually grew brighter. The great Prince Pat had vanished. -JOHN STEPHENS HOLLYMAN. -. .-v -..- H 1 Q 3 1 Page 'l'wcnty-five

:gl A R R CDVV .::- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Among the first days of September, 1926, forty-eight little seven-th graders rr-arched boldly to the institution which for six years has exacted from them their lives at the penalty of eighth hours. May, '27, saw them graduated as eighth graders, and that fall they enlisted as verdant Frezhmen, choosing as their guides Dorothy Todd, Genevieve Wood, Mar- garet Jones, and Jimmy Smith, Characteristic of Freshmen, they with blissful importance ruled the halls, and having finished their prescribed Algebra, English, and et cetera, were found safe in the Sophomore Class in the fall of '29, As gay young Sophomores they were desirous of a good time and by the efforts of their leaders, Bill Bob Foster, Banner Rice, Murray Williams, and Rube Oglesby. they enjoyed a fine picnic at the close of school, rejoicing that they had gone out from old Caesar's Gallic Wars, and would soon be safe in the Junior Class. These jolly Juniors were an energetic bunch. They realized their obligations to their elder senior brothers, and worked toward a banquet the entire year. Theilr play was a success, and, co-operating with their oflicers, Robert Mayes, Rube Oglesby, Genevieve- Wood, Dorothy Jones, and Banner Rice, they sponsored a ban- quet that will not be forgotten soon. They were indeed grand old Seniors. Their officers were John Stephens Holly- man, Mary.Carolin Krohn, Rozelle Higgins, and Jack Brown. They worked untir- ingly on the Arrow, presented a fine Senior pfay and went out from their Alma Mater in the spring of '31, deposited safe in the wide, wide world. lk-ge Twenty-four ' 19 aw , - J - 2
