SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY CContinued from Page 175 Lochinvars' sad fates I suddenly was stricken with horror for there before my eyes was Harriet Futerer in a Flor- ida lagoon, trying to escape the two jaws of a hungry alligator and a bank- rupt real estate dealer. Poor child, I thought: better let the alligator get you. Then :i cold spray of salt water struck my eyes and I realized that I was gazing into the English Channel. And therc, struggling with the icy cur- rent was Tullis Mcflreight, coughing up sharks and cuttletish nt every breath. But to my vast delight she at last reached shore and found that dangling from one foot was a serene appearing lobster. Leaving Tullis to her victory and the lobster, I looked for more pic- tures but suddenly I became aware of a Trojan warrior knocking me on the head with a club. Terrified, I started out of the cavc on the run, leaving the remaining Senior's fates still unreveal- ed and receiving blows on the head from each warrior as I did so. VVith n start I awoke and found myself sit- ting on the floor in front of the rock- ing chair in which I had fallen asleep while studying Virgils Anead. The sharp arm of the chair was striking my head each time it rocked back and forth. Goodness, thought I, suppose those prophecies should come true!

Here an inspiring soothsayer leaned over a tripod situat- ed in a large cave and interpreted the mystic signs of the gods, issuing forth from the rock fissures. One night after translating an ac- count of this oracle in Virgil's Anead, I fell asleep and dreamed that I was in the midst of a band of Trojan WRITI- derers who had come to consult the oracle at Delos to learn the will of the gods. The soothsayer seemed to beckon to me and told me to lean over the tripod and strange things would be revealed unto me, things which no human ear had ever before been priv- ileged to hear. I did as I was told and heard strange rumblings coming up from the bowels of the earth. Then the sounds became more distinct and I could hear voices uttering familiar names. Finally the mists began to clear in my befuddled brain and I recognized the name of Evelyn Simmons. Anxious to .learn what was to become of this fair maid I bent closer and discovered that in the bottom of the tripod pictures were beginning to appear. Then I realized I was looking at none other than the youthful Miss Simmons' future, illus- trated by small but distinct slides. She seemed to be in a cage with two raging lions, but whether they were the l.ion's brothers or sisters, I did not know. At first I feared for her safety, but later it dawned upon me that she had become a lion tamer. Alas, thought I, is this the sole attainment which her brilliant intellect has gained. But another surprise awaited me for there, clearly illustrated in glowing colors was the beautiful Isabelle Bish- op balanced on a tight rope, holding a Japanese parasol in one hand and in the other a picture of her handsome lover, Herschel Carpenter. It seemed that Isabelle had become a renowned tight rope walker of great grace and agility. Next the flap of a circus tent appear- ed, and on the outside were the words, VVorld's Greatest 'Wonders, the Only Genuine Freaks in Captivityf' Then further down I read, Harry Simmer- macher, the fattest man in the world, weight 628 pounds, and Irene Stock- master, the human skeleton, weight 78 pounds. Don't fail to see them. Ad- myission only 75c. I had to surpress a giggle as l saw this and in doing so, I lost my false teeth into the tripod caus- ing the next picture to be obstructed somewhat, but, my teeth having been regained, I discovered it was a picture of Marguerite Coates and Sylvester Davis, married and settled in a charm- ing bungalow. Sylvester had made his fortune by appearing in advertisements for Brilliantine. Then the tripod suddenly became frosty and icicles formed on the sides. Next a picture appeared of the North Pole with a small American Flag proudly floating from it. Then an air- plane whizzed down and Leslie and Jean stepped out attired in furs and goggles. Leslie explained, for my benefit, that they were on their honey- moon in the far north where they un- expectedly came upon the North Pole. However, he wasn't very much enthus- ed over the discovery as Jean's heart had turned to ice in the extremely cold atmosphere, and he was very anxious to hurry her back to a warmer clime. Then a most horrible picture flashed into view, I saw before my terrified eyes Violet Miller surrounded by can- nibals, who were just getting ready to put her in a large iron kettle in order to serve her as dessert for dinner. She had become a missionary to the South Sea. Isles, hence the result. Poor Vio- let, I thought, why did she reject the faithful love of Ronald Reese for such a fate. The next slide showed Mary Law- rence, Annette Arthur, Jeanette Kel- logg and Mardel Hershiser snnning themselves on a rock in the vast ocean, combing their golden hair and singing the Lorelei. They had evidently turn- ed into mermaids and were luring sail- ors to' their destruction. Then I saw a ship sailing toward them with Brown Rudacille in command, waving a black flag. Heaven forbid, thought I, has he turned into a pirate? He evidently had for he and his crew were singing, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of furniture polish, in loud voices, and were wear- ing the pirate -garb of red pantaloons, green vests, purple turbans and gold ear-rings. His crew consisted oi' Tag Slack, who evidently acted as cook, as he was brandishing two butcher knives and held a rolling pin in his teeths Marian Moos, Herschel Carpenter ima Charles Cross. Helen Secor had join- ed the crew as 'Rudy's frau and made a charming bandit. Then came another sea picture, and this time the sea, or possibly the Atlantic ocean, had a sign stuck in it reading, Three-Mile Limit. Then I perceived Harry Batchelder and Lola Dawson, fellow bootleggers, load- ing a light craft with hugh kegs label- ed Imported Fish Glue. Next the scene changed to a quiet country village and I saw a fish peddler coming down the thoroughfare blowing his nose very loudly, as he had broken his horn. Finally recognized. him as Morry Van Allen and perceived, sitting on the seat with him none other than Reba Bennett. She had a hugh case of limburger cheese which she was selling rapidly, as she furnished a gas mask free with each pound. I next saw a picture of Margie Moos under a hickory tree mending Paul Vllilliam Jr's socks. Just as I looked, a fat green worm fell down her neck and she made so much noise that she caused the tri- pod to shake as if struck by a thunder- bolt. However, all became calm as the picture passed out of sight and another took its place. This time it was Robert Smith looking from behind prison bars. He had been placed there for failing to pay his wife's beauty shop bill. His wife, by the way, was Laura Dawson and the bill amounted to 331,150 for one month. Then I saw a picture of a western ranch. Hannah Purcell and Dorothy Miller were prancing around on fiery steeds, waving lariats. Evidently each had roped something, for dangling from Hannah's lariat was Bill Tomp- kins singing, Tie Me To Your Apron Strings Again. However, Hannah cooly informed him that he would be the one to wear aprons hereafter, as she was boss now and intended to make him wash the dishes, make the hash, etc. Dorothy had roped in Stacey Richards whom she was cruelly strang- ling by pulling the rope too tight. Hearing a sigh for these two young CContinued on Page 183 G 0OOOOOO'vOO'5'5O'SOO0000000000000OOOO0000OOOOOOOOQ00-900000000000 .Lys nc' K rr r' J ,J

Allison. went to as- sume the duties of High School Prin- cipal of the iVarren City Schools. The school system here was so well organ- ized that what otherwise miprht have been a very diiiicult undertaking: prov- ed to be a pleasant one. In the fall of 1915, there was added to the curriculum, Manual Training. Mr. Shatter of Galion was employed as instructor in that work. His work proved to be very satisfactory as did that of his successor, Mr. Thurman Black of Shelby. A course in sewing was arranged for the girls. So, when the boys of a grade were out of the room for Manual Training the sewing class was in progress for girls. The pupils of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades were required to take the work, but for those in high school it was elective. Both these courses proved to be very popular among the pupils. In the spring of 1925 because of the de- pleted condition of the treasury it was voted to discontinue these two courses until such time as we could occupy the new building. When that time CJan- uary 4, 19263 came, again the time of resuming the work was deferred. When they are resumed n thorough course in Home Economics will be provided for. This can now be done because of the fine equipment in the new building. We have the equipment for Manual Training. If Vocational Agriculture be the course selected a little additional equipment will be needed. From 1915 on the school progress was satisfactory and the enrollment in- creasing at a normal rate until the numbers became so large that addition- al rooms were needed. First a two- room, temporary building was erected. This served to take care of the increas- ing numbers for a short time, when it was evident that u large building would be a necessity. Actual work on the construction of the new building was begun in March, 1925. Under the efficient management of Architect G. E. Scott and Mr. Shultz, Superintendent of Construction for Baker and Shindler, General Con- tractors, the work progressed so rapid- ly that we were enabled to occupy the new quarters, January 4-, 1926. Wil- lard now has as good equipment as any district of its size in northern Ohio.
