Class Prophecy Dear Pete, QPresident of the Class of 1950 Here is an answer to your letter inquiring about your old classmates. I really meant to answer sooner, but I've been very busy checking up on the old clan of 1950 I was certainly surprised to hear you are in Alaska making a new picture called Eskimo Land . I had heard you were in pictures, but I just couldn't believe it Good luck to you, Pete. Marie Kern now runs the Tombstone Epitaph. Marie is married and is raismg all of her little ones to be reporters--wherever you go you will find one of them get ting a scoop. Marie looks about the same, of course, she's older looking though and her hair has a streak of grey from working and worrying over her paper Barbara Costello finally ended up marrying Frank Rameriz. Barbara went to California soon after she graduated, but she says she just couldn't stay away from Tombstone and Frank. They're owners of a chain of pool halls in Gleason, Tombstone and Courtland Guess who is coach at TUHS? Yep, you're right! It's none other than Ernie Escarcega. Ernie is still a bachelor. He says that he doesn't have any time for women. Ernie lives in one of Tombstone's new apartment houses in a new section of town called Bachelor's Heights You'll probably be quite startled to learn that Delia Contrearas is a dancer and singer in the old Bird Cage and is giving nightly performances for the tourists. Delia has also been busy inventing some sort of a corset that is called Slim as a Sliver Some stuff, huh? Nellie and Virginia have started a Lonely Hearts Club. They get dates for the Tombstone girls with Bisbee boys The other day as I was down in Canenea I ran into Johnny Bigando. He s px-in cipal of the Canenea English Speech School and he says he's very disappointed because his pupils won't learn faster Elisa Casteneda came into town the other day with her three little boys dressed in soldier uniforms. Elisa married a soldier who is stationed at Fort Huachuca up a cleaning business soon. He is married to a meek little woman who does just as he says. Joe and Bunky still run around together. Bunky has an odd sort of business He imports smoke from Pittsburgh for camouflaging purposes. He sells it to Fort Huachuca, but he says they aren't too sold on the idea as yet Betty Jean Hitt has opened up a new soda fountain. She has to support her hus band by being a soda jerk. Betty Jean is teaching all of her kids to be first class jerks. fSoda, that is., Robert Tidwell went to Florida after he graduated, but he couldn t stay away from old Tombstone. Robert is a dealer for trailers. He married one of the Class of 1951. Remember Clinton Benson? Well, he runs a photographer's studio now. Tak ing flash bulb pictures is his speciality. Clinton has quite a family now. He says in a few years he'll have his own football team Now let's see. Pete-oh, yes-I almost forgot Betty Stevenson. Well, Betty is now a teacher at TUHS. Betty is not married. She informed me that she doesn t be lieve in mixing marriage with a career I guess that about sums up your old classmates. They all miss you, Pete, and wish you were here to make the old clan complete I've really written much more than I intended to, so I think I'd better close now. I'm growing old and can't take too much of this hyar letter writin Hope to be seein you soon THE OLD PROSPECTOR 14 I Joe McGee says to tell you hello. Joe is head of a debating team and is starting

The class enjoyed an eventful picnic first semester followed by a successful joint Sophomore-Junior picnic for second semester. Several members of the Junior Class took part in the Junior-Senior Play and they really proved themselves to be better than average actors and actresses. Juniors made a businesslike appearance at most T.U.H.S. games this year by selling candy, gum and programs to spectators. Their treasury grew by leaps and bounds, and because of this they put on one of the best Junior-Senior Banquets that T.U.H.S. has ever seen. f F . if gn., t, . -WN Q , 7'9 'd Qv Q--Q ' N- ,. 4 .f . 5 'J r pu E FIRST ROW: Glenn Pyeatt, Marian Adams, Betty Jacobson, Joan Hockstad, Viola Kellar, Florence Valenzuela.
