Class Prophecy One bright day in 1956 we started out with a list of all but one of the graduates of the Senior Class of ’46. First we stopped at a small but industrious little town which was just founded within the last ten years. It was named Roodton and is located be- tween Robertsdale and Wood. Desiring to mail some letters, we stopped at the post office of this new town to find as post-mistress none other than Ruth Hinish, now Mrs. Allen Park. To our amazement we were told to look next door. Whom should we see but Mrs. Jack Ross, whom we all know as Martha Lou Moreland, helping her husband in the barber shop. Since it was nearing noon we decided to stop at Black’s restaurant for our lunch. Here we found Mr. and Mrs. Omer Black. Patty is looking well and says she likes married life a lot. Getting confused with all the Blacks here we found the large cloth- ing store was run by Betty (Fisher) and Allen. Much to our disappoint- ment we were unable to visit Thelma (Miller), but we heard that she and “Red” were still going steady. On our way again we went via Six Mile Run. Blair’s restaurant is still going as good as ever, but it is in new ownership now, Mr. and Mrs. Loren- zo Meek. Rennie is an engineer on the Six Mile Special and the restaurant is a side line. Donna is retired from nursing. We find Donna’s chief cook and bottle washer to be Francts McIntyre. “Franny” will be leaving her soon to take up a permanent job of housekeeping. It is rumored that Olive Rankin will take the job and also that of managing the books. Olive is still a “whiz” in mathematics. The new beauty shop in the heart of town belongs to Settimia Bartola and we learned that she has earned the title of the best beautician in the United States for the former year. Of course you might know where we would find “Griffie”. In the movies, of course. Only now she is manager in- stead of usher. Nearing the outskirts of town we saw a new dairy farm that is the town’s gossip center. Without even stopping we knew that it belonged to Evan Jenkins because of the little red-heads playing about the place. Never- theless we stopped and had a chat. Arriving at Defiance we stopped at the Ladies’ Aid Meeting to find its efficient president to be Donna Williams. Mrs. Kenneth Dixon was also present at the meeting. She informed us that she and “Kenny” had just flown in from New York in their autogyro to visit the Solomon home. Kenneth is the president of the Engineer Society in New York. Miss Margaret Tenley was also there. “Maggie” is a supervisor in the Memorial Hospital in New York City and is spending her vacation in Defiance. While in the vicinity we decided to go through Saxton, our own home town, and visit our classmates there. To our astonishment there was a beauti- ful white building in the middle of town which had just been erected recently. We could tell by the sign outside “the Bachelor’s Headquarters” that the bachelors of Saxton lived here. What surprised us most was learning that Ed- ward Rickabaugh was manager. Two prominent members were “Tom” Heff- ner and Gerald Huff. “Donnie” Abbott w as there also, but we came to the conclusion that he was just visiting old friends as “Donnie is aanything but a bachelor. Visiting good old Saxton Liberty High, we learned of new additions to the faculty. Donna Treece at the head of the Music Department, and “Punk”, Nan’s husband, is Instructor of Agriculture. Nan is a very contented housewife. Mr. Sharpe has his own private secretary now and a very efficient one at that, Mae Brennan. There is a new doctor in town now, Dr. Jack Hallman. He plans to stay for a year or two and then go on to specialized work. His nurse is also THIRTY
