ITE21 2. To our dear faculty we bequeath a succession of successful teaching years. Kay they lie awake no longer until the wee hours of the morning pondering over the problems of Johnny and Mary. ITEM 3. To the Juniors, who will soon become Seniors, the Class of 1943 bestows all the mistakes. Inaccuracies and lapses committed by us during the last exciting year of our most exciting life. Mistakes seem to be the natural portion of youth, and by acquiring the mistakes of another, which never hurt so much as one's own, the re- cipient may be spared making so many himself. ITEM 4. To the Sophomore Class whose favorite topic of conversation Is, What I would do if I were a senior we bequeath our power to see through a millstone and our well-known capacity for exaggeration.

CUSS PROPHECY Time: 1960 Characters: Two Sleepy People It Is a cold, weird night In January. The wind howls; shutters bang. Elizabeth: What a nightI We haven t seen a storm like this since the hurricane of '42. Ruth: Remember how trees were destroyed and power lines damaged? We were seniors at the Rcbertsdale High School that year — the only pupils In the State, I guess, that didn't get a day off. Elizabeth: I wonder what has become of our graduating class since that time. Ruth: I don't know, but I'm too sleepy to care now. I'm going to bed. Elizabeth: I'm Just about asleep myself. Good night. We are standing on the corner,In the pouring rain, waiting for a cab - soon one approaches chauffered by Mary Maslanlk, looking very chic In a blue and gold uniform. We gladly enter the cab. In our conversation Mary suggests a visit to the DAILY CAB where R obert Park has been appointed editor-in-chief. Going through the building we spy an office with letters on the door: JAMES BLACK, CARTOONIST. Eager to talk to our chum we walk In and, to our surprise, Eleanor Bollinger, the model secretary, greets us. After a short chat, Eleanor calls Cloma Brown, offi- cial guide there, who takes us through the entire building. In the advertising department we find Willard Watkins setting up type for a large advertise- ment of Curfman's Bandbox Dancing Pavilion. Willard shows us two more layouts announcing the gala debut of the Foster Singing School and the success of the famous Peffer Boulevard Restaur- ant. In another type there Is a clever advertisement of the new home designed by Martin Devore for Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Park, Mrs. Park being the former Myra Ross, a registered nurse. Cloma reads us a slogan: There's no man with endurance, like the man who sells Insurance - of course we know It must be Ernest Weight. In the First Aid department It is surprising to find Jean Tewell and Ruth Leabhart, the women In white, working side by side as nurses. After talking of our days together at dear old R.H.S., Cloma ushers us Into the fashion department where we find Betty Martin and Gwendolyn Rourke designing styles for the next edition. Still busy at the typewriter, Mary Lazor Is answering fan letters with her secretary, Dorothy Williams at the typewriter. Cloma now ushers us to the printing room. As we pick up one of the papers, fresh from the press, we are amazed by the headlines which read: TEST OF JAMES McCLAIN AND JOHN HENWOOD'S FLASH AIRPLANE PROVES SUCCESS. In the trip to Tlmbuctoo they carried fifty passengers among whom was Allen Black, our present ambassador to France. Looking after the comfort of the passengers was the very efficient hostess, Dlvlna Corrler. Also quite Interesting was the article concerning William Troutman. William has achieved great fame as a successful chemist at M.I.T. Glancing at the movie section we read that Naomi Warden and Max Shugarts are starring in We Saw Them When at the Chllcote Live and Laugh Humor Theater. Further down is a special engagement fea- turing Betty Endres In one of her fancy dancing steps and Maestro Horton with his Swinging Hillbillies. A news bulletin from the N.B.C. tells of the arrival to the U.S. of Elwood Neville and Francis Cutshall, military attaches to'.the American Embassy. On the WOMAN'S PAGE we also find the name of several of our school mates: Verna Stinson, home economics supervisor, gives helpful hints on the art of sewing. Mary Stever, prominent make-up artist for M.G.M. in an item, Hints for Beauty , gives valuable information on the uses of soap and water. Verna Lover, a foods expert, tells us how to get the most value from foods, and Helen Mornlngstar (Ives hints on using our ration points wisely. On the following page we see the column Have You Heard? by Arlene Buseck and Lucille Foore. We were reading several Items of Importance to us: Eva Kowalchlk, prominent society woman, has been seen with Adolph Altobelll, wealthy comedian. In a fashionable military wedding solemnized in Baltimore, Elizabeth Brenna becomes the bride of Colonel Andy Lazor of the U.S.ar,.. . In an article entitled Religion and Education we see the name of Ruth Corrle, prominent lecturer who Is touring the United States lecturing to high school groups. Our class 1b represented on the sports page also. We find James Houck has made a name for himself in the world of baseball by scoring four home-runs In the 1948 World Series. Honors in football go to the great star player, John Carbelll.who held the spotlight In the 1948 Rose Bowl game. We read also that Earl Eckley was crowned world's heavy weight boxing champion In a box- ing match held last night in the Left-to-the-Nose Garden. After thanking Cloma for her kind attention and saying goodbye to our school chums, we start for the door. What's that! B—r—RRRRRR!! Fire! Fire! Ruth: Run, Elizabeth, quick-------it's a fire! Elizabeth: Ho hum! That won't work. It's your turn to stop the alarm clock! -23-
