Pro hecy I shall never forget that fateful year of 1949 when my friend and I ran mto the ent1re class of 39 whlle we were stranded somewhere ln Old Mexico One hot day while we were wandering a1m lessly in the scorching sand Just imagine our surprise when we came upon two scientists Art Chapman and B1ll F1sher dxgglng indus trlously ln the sand for a very rare species of desert bat Before we could talk over every thing we were again startled by the appearance of two old prospectors tdesert rats they werel Art Burke and Howard Livermore They in formed us sorrowfully that thelr fortunes always seemed 1ust around the next sand dune and that Eva Brlckey and Doris Nelson were now qulte successful gold dlggers worklng on the banks of the good old R10 Burke also told us the desert was very dry So dry roses could not be found not even four roses We moved on and soon reached a quaint picturesque vlllage with adobe houses and thatched roofed market places As we approached one of the little bunga lows I gasped to see our own belle Bette Klstler standing ln the doorway completely surrounded by Gene Juniors Dapper John Llndgren came swlngmg up the street singing We re Cheerlng For You Pasco H1 On one arm he had a beautiful senlorlta under the other a sack of Ch1l1 beans By this tlme we were very hungry so we entered a typical little cabaret and encountered Bill LeRoux singing bartender serving hot a males to three notorious women bandits the Beautiful Blond Booger alias Bonnie Mykle host Machine Gun Lil alias Joy Haag and Bear Claws Bertha alias Roberta McCabe Just as we reached the bar we saw Clifford Un gerecht being tossed expertly out the door by two hefty bouncers Bonnle Smith and Ted Vocht We finally found ourselves a table sat down and immediately ordered toasted cockroaches and cranberrles As we waited I glanced up and saw Bill Parkhurst professlonal cock fight the desert Sheik and Pete Green fabulously wealthy plantatlon owner sitting on the other side of the room indulging in a glass of ginger ale Edith Potter was sellmg lnformatlon on MEXICO which she collected whlle editing the '39 annual while Bette Leonard glamorous torch slnger and Kathleen Sullivan daring bull fighter argued about who could sew the stralghtest seam From a far corner came the lnelg strains of FDR Jones as played by Don Avery and his three assistants Norbert Job Frank Thomp son and Jack Clark Howard Hales popular Romeo of 39 now the head walter escorted the visiting Governor of Washington B111 Jewell and his charmlng wife to a banquet table where awaited such celebrities as Albert Sklnnell Mayor of the V11 lage Elizabeth Eaton and Frank Pontarollo noted fortune telling team Evelyn Lldahl trlcky news reporter Lois Roberts world s fast est soda Jerker Mexlcos Ritz brothers Ed and Gllson Martell also Johnnie Scherger village pedagogue and Chet Ballle Tyrone Powers stand ln who were earnestly telling Ruth Mer rlt popular senlorlta that she must settle down and forget her dashing loxer Vlfgll Stmson for he and Leila Mlchaelson were about to an nounce their engagement A commotion ln a far corner drew our at tentlon away from the banquet table to W1ll1e Nicholson who seemed to be seeing snakes We could not help but admire the exceedmgly tact ful way ln which Grace Klson his losing wife quletly took h1m home By that time having acute lndlgestlon we decided to leave the cabaret It was dusk and we almost stumbled over a haggard old Senora Phyllis Dlehm had evidently turned native for she was sitting on the ground lndustrlously try 1ng to remove a cactus from her big toe We decided to spend the night at the town s one and only night spot The Honky Tonk and who do you thmk the llttle hat check g1rl was None other than little Fluff Welsh and you can betcha she reallv had a monopoly on all the boys smlles The show had Just started The witty an nouncer Charles Anthony mtroduced the flrst attraction of the evening a tap dance by Bob Klundt and Clarence Jacobson The next num ber on the program was a short exh1b1t1on of the Roger Rattlers A few of Merle Rogers favorite snakes playfully chased hlm around the stage to the tune of Snake Dreams After that tne llghts were turned low and a breath taking performance of Romeo and Juliet was portrayed by our hero Norman Lance and lovely Jeanne Long When the llghts were agaln turned on I looked around to see Carmen Newlun the blue rlbbon donkey Jockeyest and Evelyn Reardon famous parachute Jumper arguing Upon hsten mg closer lt seemed that Evelyn was trymg to persuade Carmen to ride to her house ln her tEvelyn sl partnership alrplane Carmen seemed to think her donkey would be safer even if a little slower A crash of cymbols drew our attention to the entrance of Mary Green celebrated balloon dancer As she tripped lightly around she threw a colorful balloon to dazzle Norman Brown her fiance sitting at a nearby table Helen Peterson night club hostess circled among the tables singing while Helen Tllton did a trapeze act uy swinging from the chan dellers Iona Diamond was chewing peanuts Vlg orously and preparing a speech in a not at all subdued voice while Ralph Weltz a rich play boy and Chuck Rutherford light weight wrest remembered got h1s start ln wrestling back in the days when he attended Pasco H1 So this was night 11 e as our 39 friends saw lt We now knew that even lf they were buried away 1n this llttle desert village they were keeping up with the times ln good style When we left the Honky Tonk the first persons we ran into were Johnny Yolo and John Wilkerson They were standmg under the street llght Slllglllg for pennies We gave them a quar ter for hush money and went on Turning the corner we were almost blinded by a bright neon sign vshlch read Try Pats Peachy Polished Apples We went ln and were we surp1sed Or were we There stood Pat Sullivan We bought two bushels of apples you see Pat told us we looked super eating apples She also told us the news of Wilma Ba1l1e hitch hlklng back to the States Wilma had become lonesome for the Highlands so had deserted the rest of the thirty nmers for 'lfe 1n Pasco The door opened and in came Don Hales He looked llke the same old kid we knew in .39 but he d1d not notlce us He said I want one two three four sheep I mean apples After wards Pat told us that ll e as a blg sheep herder had gone to his head When we were again on the street we were amused to see Billie Smith carrying a bottle of mercurochrome for Pat s skinned knees and a freshly laundered shirt for Myrt It seems habits formed ln the Semor play stlll linger Then vse went out lh the desert and really got lost , . , . .
