Class Prophesy The members of the class of .1938 have been very much interested in psy- chology, psychoanalyses and psychiatry. Naturally they get all wrought up about their repressions and complexes, defense mechanisms, and rationalizations. So when the famous psychiatrist, Professor Albdullah Freudson-Brilling op- ened.a consulting room. for the mentally unfit. and the intellectually unsettled in Way- nesfield, our earnest students rushed to see -him-not that they were uhfitj unsetitled or un-anything-but just to be psychoanalyzed. Last night I went to Professor Freudson-lBrilling's office, and as luck would have it he wasn't in. To kill time I. looked through the magazines on the table-Med-' ern Priscilla, December, 1910, Literary Digest, June, 19273 The Etude, February, 19385 and Gramma's Home Companion, April, 1890. But I wanted something snappy, ard then I found a black covered notebook at the bottom. Being curious I looked at it and there I saw the names of my classmates-and what I found out! have no fear that what I'm telling you is incorrect as it's exactly what the psychiatrist wrote about members of the Senior class who had consulted him: Stanley Brown, a stolid, slow moving chap, will never display either speed or animation. Can be trusted never to hurry. He will become a plumber's assistant, the kind who looks for the monkey wrench 'and can't find it. Erma Louise Sproul is a nervous. inquisitive type. Will be a fine reporter because of her intense interest in everybody's business and her cast-iron nerve, which cnables her to penetrate where she is not wanted, with-cut emkarrassn ert. Gertrude Williams shows signs of a very fast worker. She will be the first woman to commute from America to Europe by the great Northern Airway. She will operate two can-dy stores, where she will sell her famous fudge-one in london and the other in New York, and will spend the alternate day in each, travelfng back and forth at night. A Robert Blank has an athletic body and a lethargic mind-the patient type. He llkes to sit and wfatch things, his calm disposition, combined with his ingrained inertness, makes him the ideal type for a sports promoter. Jo Anne Walters has a very cheerful and loving disposition. Her place will be no other than superintendent of nurses in a large hospital. Rosalie Sproul is .a strange case, troubled by a recurrent dream in which sh: is a canary bird being chased by a cat. She told me she thought this meant that she would be a pet shop owner. Quite wrong. She will be a great singer. Dewey Rinehart is a splendid example of perfect self control. He never stut- ters, stammers, hesitates for a word, has no complexes and no bad habits, and doesn't mind how late hours he keeps or with whom he keeps them. He can talk very rap- idly and his enunciation is perfect. He will be awarded a gold medal by the internat- ional Academy for the Preservation of Speech as the world's most famous radio an- nouncer. Ruth Ulrey shows tokens of an undecided mind, a vacilliation of purpose. She has dec'de?d what she will do in life-and changed her mind-every day for a year. She will guide uncertain boys and girls into their proper life work for she will be head of the Vocational Guidance Department of a large co-educational institution in the Middle West. Lenore Bowdle is of the quiet type. However she will be a famous violinist and will be at the head of a concert tour through Europe. Don Bondurant is an interesting case. An everdevelopcd imagination and an under developed digestion are producing a wonderful result-the ability to concoct the weirdest tales at practically a minutes notice. 'lhis ,ability is so remarkable dlhat his conversation consists almost entirely of weird tales. 'ihose who know him we'll never believe him, and strangers seldom. Being an intelligent young man, he will turn this talent to account. He will become -a real-estate salesman, selling Florida lots by the gross to inhabitants of Labrador and igloos to the dwellers in the Sahara. 1Continued On Next Pagel

Senior Class History fContinued From Preceding Panel At the beginning of the year we carefully selected the following capable class officers to supervise the activities of our last year: President .......................................................,,............. Dewey Rinehart Vice-President .,........... ,,,.,.,,, R obert Blank Secretary-Treasurer ,.,..,. ,,,, J 0 Anne Walters News RGDONLGI' ............. ...... .,........ .,.,., C a r olyn Wilson A few weeks later a committee of three members, Byron Daw- son, Waldo Douglas and Edna Deck, was appointed to take charge of our candy sales for the year. At this time we wish to express our ap- preciation to those who have so faithfully patronized us during the year The most wonderful event of our high school days came in Nov- ember 8, when we entered the new school building which we had stead- ily watched being constructed. It then became our place for the remain- der of our school days. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go out to those who have sacrificed and dilligently Worked to provide rs vxith srch in adequately equipped building to make our work more enjoyable and ef- ficient. In January the annual staff was elected. The advertising manag- ers immediately started their work to make possible one of the biggest ard best editions of THE WAYNE ever published. The individual pictures were taken February 10, and group pic- tures of the various classes and organizations in both Junior and Sen- ior high, and the grades were taken on March 18. And so we come to the last chapter. We linger wistfully ov er' it's pages, but finally the end must enevitably come. We all join our talent and enthusiasm in supporting and presenting our last dramatic attempt, the Senior class play. We regretfully receive the royal entertainment which the Junior-Senior Reception brings. It is with mingled sadness and anticipation that we come to Baccalaureate and Commencement. And now, we gently close the book and bravely and eagerly turn our gaze to- ward life's new' and greater adventures. LENORE BOWDLE

.....,....-,... ... ,. V-..-....-.,.. ,.. q,- .I -. ,, H. -Z.-4, Class Prophesv fContinued From Preceding Page! Edna Deck, a mare type is of great interest. Her reactions range from the blackest despair to sitting on top of the world. She starts in one mood and ,finishes in another. Her vocation must be one in which stability, good judgement, and a lack of prejudice ard cpcn mindedness are essential. She wil be a basketball referee. Jeannette Sallaz shows signs of being an artist. As a portrait painter she will make us forget Rembrandt. Waldo Douglas is not ia modern type. Ile is persevering, not easily discour- aged, and never gives up. In endurance contests he will become America's champion pole-sitter, non-stop aviator, radio listener, marathon dancer, bicycle rider, prelael eater, mammy singer, and World's channel swimmer, for once dropped in, he will swim back and forth until his manager remembers to come and fish him out. Eunice Snider thas -artistic abili-ty, keen business sense, and an understanding of the human race. She will be a cosmetician, proprietor of Ye .Beautifier Shoppy- alterations while you wait-an up to date shop combining the arts of beauty culture and plastic surgery. Louise Gossard is an interesting case. Not fond of overwork. Yet so tlfrt' others will not shirk, she will run a great employment agency. T-homas Wells is a very ordinary case, having no outstanding characteristics He is fond of light music--the kind you play with one f nger. lie will be a success- ful song writer. He will be receiving royalties by the lwarrcl fiom such songs as Monte Carlo Moon and There's A Ga-Ga Girl From Guatemala. Pearl Winans is a very queer case, possessing psychic power to a remarkable degree. This is shown clearly by her vague. indefinite manner. In a few years. her seances will be attended by all the best people. Alice Snider is a charming type, domestic and capable, but with a slight inferiority complex, due to the unfortunate fact tl-at once she received only second prize in ian international bread-making contest. She will be the happy wife of a prominent business man with the nicest home and best meals in town. Also she will be a lecturer on home-making-telling people how to build a front porch out of pack- ing boxes and how to feed ten people for seven days on 23c a piece. Jack Yale has a vigorous plain nature, with an abnormal passion for truth and a desire to rid the world of false and outmoded beliefs. He will write a kife of Washington containing a list of all the places he did not make his headquarters. He will give the correct version of: Jack, the Giant's Catcher, and Aladdin, the Wond- erful Scamp. Louise Steele is a composite type, with no inhibitions and few ideas, and a love for publicity. She has a good voice and can sing two entire songs without los- ing the tune. She will be featured in a motion picture: Louise Steele, America's Girl Fiiend in 'Cinderella's Saudals,' the all talking, all-singing, all-dancing, colored epic of the age. Miss Steele talks, sings, dances, and plays three musical instruments, includ- ing a vacuum cleaner. Erma Carter shows. ease in conversation and skill in argument. Sh-e will be a great speaker, for she will be sixtieth president of the United States. She will sponsor bills for defranchising saxaphone players, radio crooners, and talkative fisher- men. Noted for her unique foreign policy. Ut has not yet been made public and prob- ably never will bel. Will organize the club: League of Discontented Voters. Byron Dawson belongs to that great body of people who have a superiority complex. When he was very young, someone praised him and he 'never recovered. His deli ht and skill in gett'ng others to work while he watches, and his ability to answer all quest'ons, sometimes correctly, and the snappy forceful manner in which he orders people around point to but one calling-teaching school. Now that your anxieties as to your futures are at rest, it is only fair to tell you that I learned this morning that Professor Freudson-Brilling is not a sychiat- rist at all, but an escaped lunatic from the state asylum. Of course th-at will, not af- fect the accuracy of his notes at all, but I thought you might like to know. CAROLYN WILSON 'fl sf-se2'f f-C S
