“SENIORS PROPHECY, IN TWENTY...... Once upon a time in the year of 1998 we see the town of Frankton has become a booming metropolis. This change is accredited, so the legend goes, to the brains and inge- nuity of the members of the Class of 1978. In the heart of Frankton lie many prosperous businesses. To the east we see Cheryl Ball's Cosmetic Factory, with Tony Alexander, Linda Bagley, Janet Johnson, Linda Browning, Bill Murray, and Jamie Surber as em- ployees. Close by is Pat Geer's Laun- derette. Across the street is Thelma West's Hockey Puck Factory where Cris DeBonis, Cindy Pruitt, Kathy Epperly, Chris Whetsel, Mike Apple- by, Steve Leisure and Tammy Riley are employed. Next to this is Kevin Couch's furniture store where Robin Douglas, Justina Hudson, Diane Nighbert, Kelly Broeg, Shirlette Ryan, Cindy Stansberry, and Ramona Tisdale are employed. Kevin's store was recently sold to him by two partners, Donna Harper and Dennis Wellman. The whole town is safe and sound because of Frankton's Chief of Police Vince Kelly and his loyal deputy, Scott Taylor. In another part of the city is Greg Brinkman's Taco Stand.

Smitty's Gas Station has expanded under the new manage- ment of Darrel Bodkin and Rhonda Brashear. Cathy Blackford has taken over Elves Six and hired Pat Hudson, Julie Marsh, Bob Gourley and Steve Hill as her employees. At the new MCL Cafeteria, Greg Karr is manager.

“and silent tears still flow .. The summer months we usually remember for the happy times spent with our friends and the fun we share with them. The summer of 77 will be remembered much differently by the mem- bers of the class of 1978. In June, tragedy struck, and the life of our friend and classmate Ronnie Ball was taken from us. It is not for us to know the purpose or understand why this had to happen, but only to try and do our best to accept it. Ronnie will always be loved and never forgotten by his friends and now to him and to his family, we, Ronnie's friends in the class of 78, dedicate our section of the 1978 Eaglite; Our hearts still ache with sadness And silent tears still flow, What it means to lose you, No one will ever know. When I'm sad and lonely, And everything seems wrong. I seem to hear you whisper, Cheer up and carry on. Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don't cry, I'm only sleeping, We'll meet again, someday. Seniors 23
