Cflass Praphecy It is June 4,1976, and the audi- torium of Stewartsville High School is buzzing with excitement. The Senior Class of 1956 is being honored with a homecoming party. Many of the guests are arriving and as I gaze upon the faces of my old classmates I see the many changes which have taken place during the past years. T h e r e come those ever happy girls ,Peggy DeLong and Skippy Sears with their husbands following them. If someone mentions The Canada Dry Bottling Company, you can still see their eyes light up. D e ann a Wagner an d Martha McManaway are sitting over in a cor- ner talking about that real cute boy that Deanna is going with. Deanna is a Business Education teacher now, but she is still trying to get that 100 words a minute typing speed. Martha Raye is a gay, single girl who looks as young as ever. To whom do those little blonde headed girl s dressed in Navy uni- forms belong ? Oh, there's June Flowers with her s ail or Husband, they must be hers. That noise! It must be Shirley Wheeler in her 1976 Cadillac. That's just what she always wanted. Frederick Dearingjust walked in with his head high in the air. He is the CountyAgent of the Bedford 4-H Clubs. His hobby is raising cows. That tall girl with the beautiful clothes is Shirley Foutz. She is head designer for Miller and Rhodes. There's Alma Ferguson talking as fast as she can to Martha Maxey. Almais the author of a famous book, Hints on How to Ke e p a Conver- sation Moving . Martha is a teacher of Home Economics and she has been writing some interestingarticles on The Housewife and her Drud- geryn. Barbara Huffman is now a reg- istered nurse. If anyone eats too much, we will have a nurse for the emergency. Have you seen Lois Chaney and her handsome husband? He is here on leave from the Air Force. Joyce Truman recently became the editor of a magazine ca1led Hints to the Secretary . What's all the fuss ? It's that p r i v at e secretary from New York, Phyllis Roland. She must be telling Joyce what she should have in her magazine. They say that Experience is the best teacher . Here comes Harold Haldren and his wife and kids. Harold is the cap- tain ofthe World's Champion basket- ball team. Ona Bush and Carleen Pace are still watching for airplanes. They have jobs with the Civil Air Patrol. There 's the Coach of the Stewartsville gir1's basketball team, Clar a J ane Booth, and her latest heart throb. Iknowthere is going to be plen- ty of good food here tonight because I just saw Barbara Pat s el, Toot's Drive-In owne r , come in the back door with her arms loaded with bun- dles. Wonder who that girl is with the pretty slim figure? It's Dorothy St. Clair. Ihear that she has or- ganized a club called T he Dieting Women . At lastl have come to my three best girl friends,Betty Lou Simmons, Joyce Robertson, and Norma Williams. Asl chat with them, I find that Betty Lou and her husband have bought their dream home. They have a six-room house with plenty of space for the kid s . Joyce Robertson and her husband have become the sole owners of the Double Envelope . Norma spends most of the time wait- ing for her husband to come home. He is a fireman on the N 8: W Rail- road. As for me, I am working as a s e c r e ta ry and bookkeeper, still trying to write shorthand. The food has been served and as the guests begin to leave, I can see a bit of sadness in each eye as they remember the wonderful days spent at Stewartsville. Written by: Martha Lee Arrington
