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.
