PROPHECY “Would there be a chemistry test?” I wondered as I tried to concentrate on the book before me. But my eyes wandered to the window and rested fondly on the village of Waverly, peaceful and quiet, beneath a canopy of fleecy, white clouds. Then the possibility of a chemistry test broke into my thoughts and again my eyes went back to my chemistry book. But the thoughts of fleecy, white clouds remained in my mind and I felt my head nodding—nodding—nodding. Suddenly I found myself floating skyward to that fleecy white cloud without the aid of a chemistry book. And lo, and behold, I saw before me a large metropolitan city. Above this city in bright neon lights was the name, Waverly. As I approached the city, I was greeted by a fanfare of trumpets and the mayor who gave me the key to the city. As I accepted the key, I looked closely at the mayor and to my surprise I found it was none other than Orville Davis, one of my old schoolmates from W. H. S. As we walked down the broad avenue to the heart of the city, he told me I was to be a guest at the “Up-Snoot” hotel, run by Jane Durham, during my stay. As we neared the hotel an ambulance whizzed by with sirens screaming. On the side of the ambulance in bold letters was “Ccol—Die and Like-It Funeral Home.” We discovered that the victim was “Pete” Stulley. We knew that that old car would break down sooner or later. When we looked in on him later, we found it wasn’t so hal'd for him because he had a pretty nurse, Doris Denny, to hold his hand. We knew he was in safe hands because he was treated by the famous physician, Vincent Scott, who had earned the title, “Hack-Saw” Scott. On returning to the hotel I was welcomed by the hotel hostess, Mary Jo Martin. The bellhop, Dale Downing, carried my bags to my suite. I had no sooner entered than I heard the sweetest music this side of heaven. Being nosey as usual, I inquired as to where the music was coming from, and learned that a famous band was practicing in the apartment down the hall. Immediately upon hearing that it was Frank Armbruster’s “Dead Beats,” I strolled down to lend an ear. Just as I entered, the famous blues-singer, “Jo” Schwartz, began her song. She was aided by the “No-Tune” Trio, Mary Wittkugle, Betty Bauer and Blanche Rapp. Then I heard a trumpet that would make Harry James’ sound like sour music. The creator of this heaven-sent music was Stanley Hines. Returning to my apartment I found that the afternoon paper had arrived. Upon glancing through it I saw that Marguerite Logan had opened a new dress shop, bringing her models straight from Paris. On the society page there appeared a picture of Adeline Douglas’s new home at Lake White. She is using her newly acquired millions to see that a Republican president Is finally elected. I also notice that the editor of the “Whoop-and-Holler Press” was Willard Wilburn. I laid aside the newspaper as I heard the doorbell. When I opened the door I was surprised to see Jennie White, owner and operator of the “Get You Later Taxi Service. As we reminisced she told me about the new Mars-American Airlines started by Arnold Walker and Earl Strickland. Their largest transport is piloted by that handsome guy. Jack Scott. From what I hear, it is very pleasant to travel on this plane since the two cute stewardesses, Velma Deacon and Faye Jean Ma-hone, are there to make you comfortable. Jennie also told me that Bonnie Rhoads, an important F. H. A. instructor, had sent a display to the World’s Fair. A rival instructor is Mary Colburn, who is fast rising in the world of success. We decided to spend the rest of the afternoon shopping. At the best dress shop, exclusive gowns were being modeled by Louise Moore. We simply could not resist the temptation to buy. As we continued our trip down the street, we saw a sign reading, “The Bucy-Cartwright Garage.” Underneath was the motto, “If we can’t fix it, it can’t be fixed.” We now came to a movie where we saw billed, Norma J. Claytor and Bob Scott, in “Wolf Call.” It really is a howl. As a second attraction Bob Bland and Elsie Lightle were starred in their latest movie “Mercy! No!” We stopped at the Snip-Snap-and-Grab Restaurant owned and operated by Cora Cline and Margaret Looney. It was good to see them again. While at the restaurant we saw Jean Pyle and her husband celebrating their anniversary. After an afternoon delightfully spent seeing my old classmates we decided to go high-hat and go to see the opera, “Carmen,” with Mary Jo Jones in the leading role. It was beautifully done but as Mary Jo hit a high note I heard a ringing which sounded very familiar. Then it grew louder, and I aroused myself to the realization I was still in the study hall, the period was over, and my chemistry still not done. NORMA WEBER.

Our third grade instructors were Mrs. Kathryn Ann Breinig Haynes and Mrs. Helen Armbruster Clark. The children from the Alma School came to our school this year and we were very glad to have them. In the fourth grade we left the new building and started our fourth year in the old building. Our pathway was guided by Mrs. Dorothy Andre Matthews and Miss Anna Laura Haynes. We enjoyed presenting our .play, “The Leak in the Dyke.” Our fifth year was under the guidance of Miss Ernestine Eylar and Mrs. Helen Brown McCain. During this year we learned the states and their capitals. The sixth year was the first time we had two teachers, Mr. Oscar Raidiger and Mr. M. O. Scott. During the first six years of our school life Mr. Charles Shrader taught music and Mr. Richard Teichert and Miss Gates taught the fundamentals of art. Our junior high years were very exciting. We enjoyed the assemblies, pep meetings, changing of classes, and our lockers. Our teachers were Mr. George Swing, Miss Lenore Vallery, Mr. James Dunham, Mrs. Kathryn Shy Bess, Mr. Chester Way, Mr. Sidney B. Cutlip, Mr. Charles King and Mr. Hobert C. Helman. In our freshman year we contributed to the war effort by selling bonds at the Victory Booth. During our sophomore year we helped with the war effort again by participating in paper drives. We won a $25 war bond. Our junior year was a most eventful one. Our class enjoyed working on our class play, “Clarence” and working out the program for the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet, which was given at Lake White. Our first edition of the Hi-Lites came out this year. Now we have reached the final and eventful year of our school career. Our class has participated in assembly programs, the Hi-Lites, athletics, Senior Scholastic Test, and in the production of our class play, “Spring Green.” The Class officers are: Willard Wilburn.............President Dale Downing............Vice President Jennie White................Secretary Earl Strickland.............Treasurer Class Colors: Maroon and White Class Flower: The Rose Class Motto: “Forward ever—backward never.” As the Class of 1946 moves along to treasures in the future, we bid good-bye to the friends and halls of Waverly High School.
