SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Zoom! As our latest Jeb Job roars down through the air in the year of 1959 we see the Echo Forty-Niners! Boy what a mixed up bunch of men and women they turned out to be! LOOK! Over there at that garage. It's Mrs. Barbara (Vohs) Gilbert under a car, with hubby Bill show ng h°r how to use a grease gun. Bill Jr. is eating mud pies outside the door On we go to the high society part of the now large city, where we see Ellen Westfall, now a famous singer in swanky night clubs. WOW! is she a beaut! LOOK1 It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Dr. Homer Bowman, more widely known as Newt, coming down the street in a big black convertible and just look who's his private nurse—Darlyne. Growing hungry, we dash into a huge grocery store and who should we see sitting by the stove but Mary White humming the song, Put That Ring on My Finger, to Burl. She has not given up yet, and I can't say as I blame her—hmm While in the store two good looking Hill Billies walked in. I found out they were the Abercrmobie Brothers, Don and Ed. It seems they moved completely away from wimmm and now live happily with their hogs and corn squeezings. In the corner we see a little old woman or should we say maid? She is saying to herself, Should I keep it or give it back? You're right; it's Mary Wills thinking about Jean AGAIN. Upon a hill we see a small spot. As we focus our eyes we see that very successful cattle rancher, Billy Marlnee, riding in his flashy, purple jeep. I wonder if he v ould loan me a quarter? Say, who's this? Oh it's none other than Lucille Wattenburger, the big shot beauty operator! Hey fellas, she's still single! Down to the Big Echo City Annual Round-Up we see the widely known lady bronc rider. That's right. It's Betty Lou Emerson. Oh, by the way, she now rides Bing Crosby's famous race horses. Traveling near the end of the city limits we see a circus and look in that big cage. It's the wild-man! It's Jim Lilly. He always was a little wild, making the girls in school chase him. Now, very tired, we decide to take in a good movie and to our surprise we see Don Reese playing the leading part in a romantic scene. OUCH! this is too much for me; Let's go, before something else should happen. ZOOM.
