SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY H Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned to the gossip program, brought to you by the makers of Dabber Face Powder: the powder which gives you that dusty look. This is a program for the people, by the people, and about the people. Tonight we are revealing the exclusive inside story of the present day where-abouts of the 1947 graduates of the Clay City Community High School. Every one thought that Bill Billingsley was going to be a basketball coach. Actually, he married Barbara McCraw and moved to a little town in the Ozarks called “Dead Broke.” He is now manufacturing “Billingsley's Dead Broke Dew.” Bill Boor has become an engineer on the local B. and O. Railroad and who do you think carries his lunch to him? Yes, that's right: Patsy Hiser, who gave up her brilliant career in the drug store to be by Bill's side. My, isn't love grand. Roscoe Brown and Carroll Lewis recently made a Missionary tour through South Africa. There they collected numerous native cos umes, tattooes and acquired a golden suntan. Upon their arrival in the states, they were mistaken for cannibals and can now be seen on exhibition at Forest Park in St. Louis. Tommy Manville doesn’t seem t0 have anything on Donna Lee Pierce, Taylor, Bokenkamp, Berger, Flexter, McFadden, Rinnert, Cordell, who is obtaining her eighth divorce to marry Count Hcrnblower of Bopwop. Prim, bespectacled, Bonnie Coggan, foot loose and fancy free, is teaching figures at her beloved home in Sailor Springs. Her side kick, Carmen Shore, is excavating to see what can be found under the school building. Happy digging, Carmen. I hope you find something of more value than that last sulphur spring Mary Colclasure Ya es, a famous model, acquired a severe cold while poking for a calendar artist. She is new suing the studio. Bob Crackel is the top man in his profession. He went to Hollywood and Lana Turner happened to stroll past accompanied by two M. G. M. producers. They heard Bob’s peculiar wTolf call and immediately signed him to a life term contract. Now, every time yru see a Western on Seturdav night and hear a wolf or coycote howl, you'll know that it's Bob. He's a howling success. Thelma Fulk and Martha Turner are now advertising Sta-rite garters for the Eugene Hardy Company, of Gam City, Arkansas. Dorothy Gardner and Lucille McKinney have become par ners in a beauty salon in Hong Kong, China. Dorothy massages, treats, and scalps while Lucille McKinney scrapes all the loose “dandruff from the pockets of ’he millionaire customers. Rosa Mae Gill, private secretary for P. U. Penny, lost her job today. It seems that she was sitting on the boss’s lap when his wife wa ked in. Truman Grove and Lindy Hosselton surprised us most of all. Truman has developed such a muscular physique that he has taken up weight lifting as a career. In the near future, he expects to be given the honorary title of “Superman.” However, Lindy has taken up—you can’t guess—knitting! He joined a knitting club and is in a state of rivalry with hi? fellow-men to see which can finish his doily first. Everyone is excited over the contest but we hear that the odds are in Lindy’s favor. Roberta Rule Hosselton, his loving wife, knows how to knit too. In fact, she was the one who insisted that he learn. She says that it isn't as dangerous as basketball. Leila Hubble has secured a dangerous job. She is a midget auto racer. She planned to be a physical education teacher, but decided that it wasn't dangerous enough. She is the only woman in her profession. (Good work if you can get it, girls.) CLAYTONI AN---- - 47 19
