1948 = POW-WOW----1948 CLASS PROPHECY As the crystal ball turns again what should behold our eyes but the inside of a gymnasium filled with people. I wonder what this could have to do with our classmates. It is now viewing the bench with the basketball players on it. The boss or coach is Lee Slater. We always thought that he was a smooth player back in high school but never thought that he would turn out to be coach. The crystal ball is moving so it will show some of the faces of the crowd. I wonder what that has to do with Lee. Oh! there is Elizabeth (Kays) Slater. She has a little boy with her and I don’t know just by looking whether that is another little nephew or not. We will let you figure that out for yourself. At any rate she is still the faithful team follower. The next figure is Helen McQueen. When she was back in high school she always liked a lot of excitement and adventure. By the looks of that uniform she has given up nurses training and became a W. A. C. Recruiting Officer. Helen has a lot of extensive traveling in her future. I wonder when Johnnie D. dropped out of her sight? I don’t know but I guess that is some more personal affairs. Jeanette Morford is the next to be shown in the crystal ball. She is walking across a large carpeted floor. I see women all wrapped and dropped in furs, watch every move that she makes. I see it all now she has turned out to be a model. Who would have thought it? She seems to know what she is doing showing all the latest fashions. She looks very happy so I’ll bet Jack Beaumont isn’t too far away. No there he comes into the crystal ball now, he was home running a nursery. He seems to know his business. The next to come into view is a tall, dark, and handsome man. I can't recall any other classmates that looks like that unless it could be Gene Noffke. He is going into a garage with the name over the door NOFFKE AUTO REPAIRS I guess he has a business all his own now. Now the view shows the inside of the building and there are all kinds of cars setting around. It looks as if Gene has a very progressive business here. As the crystal ball stops turning this time in marches Davadia Peadro. She must be out in California for it looks nice and sunny out on that beach. She climbed into the Life Guards chair, so she must have turned out to be the life saver, rather than to be a music teacher. There is Bill Fought slaving away in an orange grove. I guess that diamond really meant business, that she got for Christmas in her Senior year. Next is Kenneth Quigley at a big switch board. By his actions he is certainly busy getting all of those calls through and also telling the other workers what to do. He specialize in making appointments for other people. He always liked this kind of work back in high school, but no one expected him to operate one all by himself. I now see a preacher doing his best until his voice wears out. He stops and takes a drink—of water. I can’t imagine who that big husky fellow is. I believe that must be Harold Smith but I wonder where in the world he picked up all of that fat. It was also a great surprise to me to find him preaching. He always knew the words back at high school, but the trouble then was he used them backwards. By his grave face though he must have turned out to be a great speaker of the truth. As the crystal turns again it stops at the imagine of Sara Jane Warren. She is boarding an airplane. I wonder if she is traveling or going somewhere. By the looks it is neither one, because she has on an air hostesses outfit. I guess this was why Sara Jane was always on a diet and always saying she was going to be an old maid. She is really busy giving all of those people service, but it was the kind of business she always dreamed of. Next we see a large white castle appearing but as it gets closer it has the words Hyland Funeral Parlor. Just then out walks someone that must be me. On the inside of the parlor I see all kinds of mounted animals. I guess that we are going to run a funeral service for peoples, pet dogs, cats, canaries, and other things. I never quite expected this, I believe that gypsy must be playing tricks on me. There is a loud clap of thunder and the sky lights up like a search light. This means the mystic spell is all over. If any of your fortunes are disappointments to you, don't blame me for I saw this all in the crystal ball that my friend the gypsy is holding. I guess this means now that I’ll take my leave. Lots of Luck.

1948 ■ POW- WOW 1948 CLASS PROPHECY Next comes an expensively dressed woman. It happens to be Dorothy (Dewar) Swinford. She seems to be waiting on Charlie. Yes, there he is all dressed up in a tuxedo. They must be stepping out to supper tonight. They walk out the door and a negro chauffeur is waiting in a new Cadillac. They don’t have to us Mr. Dewar’s car anymore. There is something that worries me and that is I wonder where they struck their gold mine. I guess that is one thing I’ll never understand, until it really happens. I now hear a low clatter of drums and the curtains go up. There it a little woman on a trapeze. She must be very brave because I can’t even make out who she is, she is so far up. As she comes lower and lower it seems to be Marjorie Doehring. She is very graceful and doesn’t seem to worry where she is going to land. I see a big flashy diamond on her left hand. There goes the hero out to catch her. I don’t recognize him as he is most likely from Strasburg. As I have said before we didn’t know that we did have such talented people in our class. The gypsy turns the crystal ball again. Whoever is coming on next is sure full of energy because the mystic ball about fell out of her hand. Here comes a man with little mustache, or cookie duster as we used to call it. I guess this surely must be David Dunscomb. He is now the National Laughing Comedian. I was surely surprised to find him still single. Jean Carr dropped out of his life when he was thirty-five. She says she got tired of waiting for him and he thought he was to young to be tied down yet. He is trying to regain her back, which looks pretty successful. Next happens to be Charles Fransden. He seems very contented in that easy chair with his big old peace pipe. His little blonde wife, from Sullivan, is very busy doing all the work. I understand she makes all the living and does all the work while “Punkie,” takes life easy. He certainly looks as if he enjoys life more than he did back in high school. The next person that comes to light is Barbara Fugate. She looks pretty nice all dressed in white. Yes, she turned out to be a nurse, just like she had always wanted. I can also see a soldier in the crystall ball. I guess that is Dick Stark, her army friend. After he gets out of the army they intend to live a nice quiet home life. I imagine that this nursing course will come in handy too. The gypsy hasn’t had time to settle the crystal ball until something comes in. It looks like a bird, no a man or no it is Jack Gaddis. He is driving some kind of a contraption that certainly has the speed. I see it now and it is a vehicle that he always dreamed of inventing so that he could travel faster on the ground. He has a factory now that turns out thousands of these vehicles day after day. He is really taking in the money too. Joycelyn Green now appears and she seems very busy studying. She is attending the U. of I now where she is very popular. She is a cheerleader for both the football and basketball team. She is the Queen this year and is president of the Home Ec. Chapter. She is still shopping for a man, but she isn’t worried for she knows there are plenty to be had. I now see a young lady giving children their daily exercises. I wouldn’t know of any other girls in our class that are as active in P. E. unless it could be Yvonne Hurley, which it is. She is a teacher of Physical Education in some little village’s high school. Yvonne looks very happy in this field of work. P.S. She is going to be an old maid. I now see Colleen Jones. She looks very weary underneath that golden flock of hair. She is now entering the door of Windsor High School. Don't tell me she is still taking post-graduate courses. No she is going into the English room. All the class now appear and by writing on the board she must be the Latin teacher. Don’t tell me Colleen, of all the people in our class, has become an old maid. When class is dismissed she rushes out the door to get in a truck with Bob Daily’s name on it. I guess that will teach us to worry about our own affairs. Paul Juhnke is next. He looks very busy and carries himself in a business like manner. I guess after years of college he has won his doctor’s certificate. He has set up a clinic in the edge of Strasburg. He has several nurses around him but he has picked out one as head of staff at the hospital as well as Chief of Staff at home.
