Jienicm, Cilicwl Tzw The Senior class of 1944, knowing how tedious the road they will travel in th! future may be, take this opportunity to portray in a humorous fashion their future. Make of it what you will for good things seldom occur and this is no exception, By the process of prognostlcation we now take you ten years into the future where we find Don Blust, retired buck private from the army, married and settled down, The mayor of Dahlnda Kbonl lives an energetic life since he has settled down and ds raising ----- chickens in his spare time, It was due to Don'e political power that Margaret Berry was given the position of superintendent of Mayo's General Hospital in Galesburg, Margaret ls quite contented, 1n fact, her picture le now appearing on Carnation Milk adds. Edwin Cherrlngton, Physicist, has attained the noble prize in the scientific field, Not to be outdone by Thomas Edison he has also invented the electric light. Velma Daub, always conservative, is a kindergarden teacher and is Wmaktng the little things count'. Leona Dexter, has become a truck driver, in order to help her husband when he is shorthanded, As for Kenneth Dewolfe, we have nothing definite, Pvt, DeWolfe achieved milit- ary fame for his ability to retreat, but obviously, since he d1dn't return, his retreat was finally out off, Ann Elliott has become a female cosmopolitan and expects people to Carter hers and Carter there, Marie England has become famous ee a missionary. Her ability to take care of 'little Germans' is unexoelled znywhere, Don England, wealthy Agriculturlst, made so much money this year, that after paying his income tax, the Qovernment immediately payed off the national debt and bought Eleanor a new bicycle, Alvin Hiatt, well remembered as your oaper-boy of vast years is now carrying his papers in style, having bought a 16 cylinder limousine, Della Howard, play girl of 1944, has settled down to the fate of being an old maid, but she is still hoping. Darlene Huber, our lovable spitflre, keeping right in line has married the pilot of a epltflre, flight commander, Donald Thomas.
