WHAT’S IN YOUR FUTURE After consulting a crystal ball belonging to a local s wa mi, Miss Smith and Mrs. Cremeans learned that many of the students of their brilliant class of ‘50 had become very successful during the ten years that have gone by. ‘50. Some of their students got positions by just mentioning that they graduated with the class of Mrs. DeJarnette, Mrs. Stowers, and Mrs. Egnor who were, as you know, all married before they left school, are now entertaining about a dozen kids each. There are others who have changed a great deal. Can you imagine Sylvester Dailey saying, “And furthermore, I don't believe there is any such thing as juvenile delinquency,’’ as he teaches his American Government class. “Scratch, baby, scratch, says George King and Reuben Dillon, who are still shooting pool-- but it's their own pool room this time. Where is that mouse I hear squeaking? Why it’s not a mouse, it’s Mary Lou Lovejoy singing on television. Richard Burns is still a flirt in school. Oh, my mistake, this is Richard J. Burns 11 (with red hair.) 8-9-10 yer’ out. Why, that’s Two Ton Tony, our old school mate Sue Meade, who turned out t be a heavy-weight after all. Put-put-put---Where’s that motor boat I hear? Oh, excuse me, it’s Felix Porter. He’s sewing up battleships, or in other words, he is an electric welder. It does not. This is Doctors Rena Black and Betty Bell arguing over a patient. Wylie Stowers has obtained a great position. He is selling hot air at the Hamlin Auto Store. Cash Stowers has finally found himself a full time job looking after his seven children while his wife cooks. Thomas Wheeler is now famous with the Bailey Brothers Circus. He sells popcorn. Noel Roberts is pastor at the Little Church around the corner at Big Creek. Jimmy Boyers is the owner of a huge theatre, but it's very strange, because all of the movies are for adults only. 24

Why, it's Peggy Sponaugle in a bathing suit. Peggy, don't you know that you're too old to be in a beauty contest? 25
