E SENICR CLASS 19. Mary Ann Yarbrough has created quite a problem at St. Maggie's. It seems every time she walks down the hall all the men patients' temperatures go up 10 degrees. 20. Allan Segrest finally got to be principal at T.H.S. He's really doing a fine job and has added several new courses. One of them is I-low To Succeed After Trying For 20 Years. 21. Freddie Ledbetter has settled down to one girl, Gloria Knight, and they run the Dari-Delite, which was left to Gloria by a former owner. 22. Alice Bryant is in the courts in a big legal hassle. It's rumored she tried to put out her own line of Bobbie Brooks. 23. Lavinia Tyson is now Middle-Weight Champion of the World. It seems she won her title protecting a certain boy from a few of his fans. 24. Michael Terry graduated from the John Patterson Trade School with a degree in hair dressing. He devotes most of his time to keeping Lillian's hair its natural color, so that now her hairdresser will be the only one that knows. - 25. Faye Dixon has replaced Dale Evans as the Queen of the West. They say she's mobbed by her many male fans every time she steps out of her mansion in her hip-slung riding pants. 26. John Dyson, having finally discovered girls, is trying to get Gay Bowers to leave her job at the Gay- Love Dept. store and come to work at Lakeview as his private grease monkey. 27. Mamie Morgan, after all these years, still hasn't gotten over her crush on Billy Selman. So now, she runs the Little Texas Spinster's Club where all the girls at T.H. S. that had crushes on Our Hand- some Guy go to live with precious memories. 28. Jimmy Green married Shirley Owens and they have a vegetable garden in Roba where they're raising spinach, turnips, and other Greens. 29. Charlotte Walters and Calvin Sears finally got married. At first they said they were going -to wait until he was 21, then it was 31, then 41 and so on for many years. But they finally made it and the lovely old couple have gone to the Golden Age Rest Home in Montgomery for a long, leisurely honeymoon. 30. Franklin Tally is still piping sunlight in to the natives at Society Hill. 31. Sandra Beasley is the typical housewife and is very busy bringing up all her little Beasley's Blessings. 32. Berry Willis is the new singing idol of the nation. He got his start on Rocking With the Deuce , a variety show in Columbus, Georgia. 33. Linda McLean, better known as Lip, Poopsie, and Picklepuss, after chasing Hamp Boles, Thomas Lawrence, Frank Porter and Heaven-Knows-Who-Else, finally caught Frank and persuaded him to marry her. 34. Charlotte Sistrunk is serving a long sentence in jail for bigamy. They say when she couldn't make up her mind between Charles Russell and Donald Martin, she just married both of them. 35. Nellie Dobbs is a missionary somewhere in South Africa and is busy teaching the natives the ancient dance rituals of the Baptists. 36. Billy Selman, famous for his great atheletic career at T.H. S. , is now chief water boy and assistant bat boy for the Tuskegee Institute Golden Tigers. 37. Reni Huddleston had her classmates worried for a long time: she just never seemed to get over the fact that Donnie married someone else. But Jim, Cooter, and Richard have helped her snap back and she's now her happy self in Panama City running Reni's Roost, a nice family-type resturant. I don't know if any of these predictions will come true, maybe we'd better hope some of them don't. But, nevertheless, I do hope that the next 20 years will bring much luck, happiness and the best of every- thing possible to each and every member of the Senior Class of 1963. I 17 1

A PRCPH ECY F0 While riding home one afternoon after school, I noticed a trailer on the side of the road. A large sign out front proclaimed the following: Madam Lucifer--Knows All, Hears All, Tells All. I suddenly decided that it would be fun to have Madam Lucifer tell me her version of what the Seniors would be doing 20 years from now. So here are the predictions of my far-seeing friend as to what my classmates and l would be doing in the year 1983. 1. Gay Bowers is now employed at the Gay-Love Department store owned by Phil Godfrey and managed by Tommy Bradley. 2.
