Senior Class Prophecy, 1952 While traveling along spending my dough I met many friends I happened to know. Way back in the days when we all went to school And were taught to live by the Golden Rule. The first stop 1 made was at Paris. France. Where Mary Bell Dean is doing a dance. While farther on I heard a plane Carrying in it the Shrivers. Pete and Lorraine. .Just where they were going they must not of known Because their plane was driven by Earl Lloyd Coen. Then visiting the Little Cafe of Delight The star of the show was that handsome Dave White. As homeward bound I met Carolyn Lough Watering the pigs at the old water trough. While next doer over was Ellen Gump Booth Helping her husband patch the roof. Down in the warehouse of Murphy's store Betty Gail Eddy Was making con-fetti. And painting the furniture that's well worn Is Betty Thorne. I came across the river in a modern air ferry I again was surprised, the aviator was Ronnie Berry. Before I had more than hit the shore There to accompany me was Carl Moore. Have you heard of that cigarette lighter, the Ronson, They say it was named for Lindsay Johnson. It's sold in that new We Have Everything store Just set up by Sue Moore. Jim B. Tennant has just organized a basketball team: I don't know which is missing the pep or the steam. Frankie Lee Tennant has a job selling Cheer That new modern soap of the year. Kenneth Eddy once made house designs But yesterday 1 heard he'd just resigned. Floyd Foley is running from door to door Delivering groceries for Bell’s Store. Richard Eddy seems to enjoy working in the new Hagan’s store. Jr. Phillips once was noted for running around, But believe it or not he’s settled down. Operating the steam shovel that does often stall I was sure surprised to see Mary Jane Hall. And acting as boss was really Joan Neely. Down in the night club the money a crammin' Appearing as twins. Sue and Marilyn Ammons. Richard. Stanley, and Mahlon Tennant, a trio have organized. They say it sounds just like Burl Ives. Mr. Mason decided too much time had been spent And handed down his position as coach to Dewey Wendt. Around Mt. Morris they ask. Have you heard?” I gathered they were talking about Rodger Byrd. Way up in the Chemistry room watching a star Was the boy known by all as Robert Barr. While down in the Peanut Shop making peanuts by the billions Was the girl I recognized as our own Janie Williams. Have you heard about the radio show The Corkers?” The stars of the show are Dorothy and Donald Forquer. Helping the F B I. track down spies Is the friend of all, Jack Wise. Just hired by the Brooklyn Dodgers as the new catcher Is that quiet boy. Jim Fletcher. Off at a distance I saw Dope Yost Down in the meadow cutting a post. And wiring a house for electric lights Was the new electrician, Ray White. Building a house on the rough slopeland Was the newly married Enoch Copeland. Do you know we have a champion whistler You're right, it's Jim Tritchler. He's just a new money miser His Masters of Ceremonies are Bill and Mary Gayle Shriver. Just getting started at Hollywood is Dorothy Neely Playing the part of a tomboy named Willie. Working in a shop making tombstone markers Was my quiet friend. Patty Harker. Just wait till you see our TV gal. Betty Wilson. Gosh! she's thrillsome. (Continued on Page 22) twenty-one
