19 Claytonian 42 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Friends: Thank you, Senior Class of 42, for remembering me. Your letters were certainly appreciated because lying in a hospital bed day after day is very monotonous. A Japanese bomb struck me while 1 was sending radio messages from Honolulu. I shall always be an invalid. It is cheering to know that all of you are doing so well in your respective occupations. Ferill Ballard is a pedicurist for the Adam Shoe Company in Kiser, West Virginia. His purse seems to be well filled these days, and he is enjoying bachelorhood. Velda Mae Barnes is now starring with Lou Costello in the famous play, “Lovers’ Dreams.” They are planning to become Mr. and Mrs. as soon as they finish their performance. It is surprising to me to discover that Pauline Barre is still “shopping” for that certain gentleman. However, Pauline is famous for her excellent figure skating at the Silver-Streak Arena in Sitka, Alaska. Laren Coggan, after joining a tribe of Cannibals in Africa, roamed the jungles of that continent. Now ne is trying to become an American citizen again. John Sullens Jr. is a traveling magijian. It is really wonderful how he can pull those white rabbits out of top hats. Fred Bates, by flying around the world in three days, broke the Howard Hughes record of three days and eleven hours. Imogene Herdes is the world’s champion bronco rider. She is now performing at Madison Square Garden in New York. Milnor Bissey Jr. is President of conquered Japan. I am sure he is capable and worthy of this position for he was always a very studious boy. Jack Bokenkamp attended the University of Illinois and taught History at the Clay City High School for several years. Now he is holding Mr. Cherry’s former position as principal. It amazed me to learn that the song I have so often found myself humming was written by Agnes Bryant, a popular song writer. Her sister, Alice, is singing with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. Evelyn Chandler operates a little dress shop in Clay City. Her husband. Bob Winchester, is a traveling salesman for Crooks Cookie Company. Jack Sharp is Commander-in-Chief of the United States Navy in the Far East. He lives happily in Hong Kong with his Chinese wife and five children. Robert Conley, having graduated from Yale, is a professor of Law in Chicago. Norma Dehart is the owner of a large sugar plantation in Cuba. Her brilliant sense of responsibility has enabled her to be a very successful business woman. J D Dewhirst and Betty Jayne Story were married the summer after they graduated from high school. Unfortunately, J. D. ran away, and now Betty Jayne lives in Oklahoma with her mother.
