Class Yrophecy This morning as I sat down to read the newspaper, I had to look twice. Before me, I held in my hands a newspaper of the future. The lead story was headlined Beverly Parker, World's Greatest Woman Athlete, Gives Birth to Sex- tuplets. Beverly always said she wanted six children but, I didn't know she meant all at once. What a coincidence! The attending physician was Dr. Daphne Owen. She’s soared to great heights since her days at good ole J.H.S. Beverly's first visitor was Judy Hall who flew in from Cape Kennedy where she holds the position of chief mathematician of the United States space program. Jean Rideout flew up from Florida to visit and invited the mother and children to Florida where everything's SONNY . Marie Bottoms sent a wire of congratulations, We understand that she is rather busy in her job as secretary to Virginia's present governor. The only one of Beverly's friends who wasn't heard from was Suzanne Owen. She is with her husband who is somewhere overseas. In the next article, I read about a promising young dentist, William Ballance, who had just opened his office in Jarratt. Next, in the business section, I saw that Clifford Richardson, famous for his dealings in oil, had bought up the SKIPPY Peanut Butter Company on the side. Then, an article announcing a rock and roll show in Richmond caught my eye. I noticed that Sonny Horner would be among the stars, He became famous when he brought back that all-time favorite JEANNIE With the Light Brown Hair,” One of the letters to the editor was written by Aubrey Harrison, Believe it or not, in the family tra- dition, Aubrey has become a teacher. Do you remember the quiet boy in the Class of ‘64, Ralph Harris? As I glanced through the book review section, I saw that his book, How to Succeed Without Ever Really Talking, is now number one on the best seller list. Louis Briley, who used to drive a school bus at JHS, now owns a bus company with which he can HALL many people. Jarratt has now become such a prospering community that new housing developments are springing up everywhere, The next article featured the first three families to occupy these modern homes: Mary Elizabeth and David Zimmerman, Sandra and Wayne Harris, and Lorene and Melvin Harrell, Another bit of Jarratt news I read was that the famous nurse, Deanna Willis, has come to Jarratt to head up a Red Cross drive. On the sports page, I found that Charles Ricketts has just won the Indianapolis 500--on his motor- cycle no less! Jeanne Williams was pictured peering over stacks of fan mail. She is now secretary to a famous movie star, Next, on the society page, I saw that well-known playboy, Larry Craft, surrounded by several beauti- ful girls, Larry got his start at Weldon Mills and now owns several such companies. Finally, I reached the comic section and was surprised to find a new addition, drawn by none other than Ralph Miller. 29
