Prophecies It isn't raining rain to me It's raining a prophecy In every crystaled drop I glimpse Something that is to be. No clouds of gray engulf this night And overwhelm this town It isn't raining rain to me It's raining happiness down For after every shower Which lets the sun shine through. You'll see the bow of beauty Arched in the heavenly blue And at the end of the rainbow You'1l see a pot of gold And there I'll seek a prophecy In which your future's told. DROPS OF RAIN Stormy show- ersg a rain- ln Both bow with sun- shine promised HARD AND SOFT WATER Published in 'T3 Price: Your 24' Worth Editor's Note: This paper dedicated to put out the fire of Woodburn, and lest the smoke of the Class of '53 gets in your eyes, it is written in a special breezy manner! iii? KENNETH BECKER GIVEN TO FOREIGN LEGION The scoop of the year is a special news item concerning Kenny Becker. After Kenny was graduated from Woodburn High, he joined the WAF's, but because of disorderly conduct, he was sent to the Foreign Legion, where he recently has been appointed chaplain. :k is :ef 4: , Lowell Becker, whose great aspiration to be a doctor, was slightly mislaid in his prernedic course. It seems his scientific and mathematical brain developed an interest in disproving great scientific theciries already established as factual. He is rm head controversial man on the Atom team and already has disproved the revolutionary hypothesis, excluding rotary and accelerated motions. From all Becker astronomical observations, there are two postulates which seem to be mutually contradictory. He is also working on the Quantum Theory, the interferometer, and the aberation of the atom.
