CLASS HISTORY The class of '64 entered Williams High School with an air of confidence and importance, which was, of course, soon crushed by the mighty upperclassmen. From here the four year climb to fame and fortune began. The Freshman class officers were Fred Cothren, President; Paul Larson, Secretary-Treasurer; Richard Chavez, Vice-President and Pamela Fain, Student Council representative, John Cobey lettered in football, and Pam Fain was Homecoming attendant. Selected for Pom-pon were Jackie Flannigan, Sharon Cureton, Pam Fain, Pat Navarro, Esther Villa, Juliana Lucero, Janet Wolfe, Kathy Adams, and Linda Packer. We began our sophomore year as a slightly more respectable group, now we had someone to look down on. Class officers were Fred Cothren, Pres.; Belva Jenkins, Vice-pres.; Paul Larson, Secretary-Treasurer; and Richard Chavez, Student Council representative. Belva Jenkins was elected cheerleader and became Miss Football of 1962. Kathy Adams was elected Social Manager. Inducted into NHS were Kathy Adams, Pat Navarro, Belva Jenkins, Fred Cothren, Janet Wolfe, and Gene Vincent. The W Club members were John Cobey, Tiger Nelson, Richard Chavez, Carver Sutton, and Mike Golightly. Our Junior year was even better, we were upper classmen.

And who will forget the 7-6 victory of our great Powder-puff football team over the mighty (?) seniors. At our Junior-Senior prom Moments to Remember” the attendants were Pam Fain and Fred Diumenti.

CLASS PROPHECY The time is 1984. A reunion of the wonderful Class of 64 is about to take place on the moon in one of the new stadiums constructed by the famous contractor, Richard Chavez. He was assisted by Barry Stubbert who has followed his father’s footsteps into the Stubbert Plumbing business. It will be interesting to note the various changes in the lives of our past classmates. Here to cover this reunion is Brent Wells, reporting for his newspaper, THE DAILY MOON. The numerous guests have started arriving as the first rocket ship from Earth lands at the famous Moon Rocket-Port now owned and operated by Paul Engstrom. Karla Smith and Janet Wolfe have finally found their hearts content as two old-maid school teachers. They seem to be really enjoying their careers. Phyllis Dodd is now a registered nurse. I believe she got her start in the Senior Class play. The girls we knew as Shirley Linker and Esther Villa are two happily married ladies with three children each. Who could that poor, weary-worn woman with the five sweet (?), innocent children be? Oh, she faintly resembles the used-to-be Kathy Adams. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get a babysitter and had to bring her children with her. Her husband, who still works at Safeway, couldn’t get off to keep them either. Gene Vincent is now a successful businessman as the manager of a chain of major brand rocket fueling stations. Now, who could the tall, distinguished looking man be? Oh, it must be John Black, the famous businessman who owns the Thriftway Super Market. I believe he started as a carry-out boy in Williams. The three-star general in the uniform must be Brad Massey, who has made a career of Army life. Another rocket has landed. Among the people now entering the stadium is a nice looking, dark haired woman. She is Pat Navarro who is a dental assistant at the D.F. P. (Drill ’em, Fill ’em, and Pull ’em) College in Washington, D.C. Karen Osborn is rapidly becoming famous for her books. Her latest one describes her own methods of writing shorthand. It is entitled Shorthand Made Easy. I presume she got many of her methods and ideas while taking shorthand in school. Christine Lopez, Emma Brown, and Francis Otero have all settled down in small towns to raise their large families. Sharon Cureton still has not settled down and even at her age is still in search of a man. Joyce McKown now lives on a horse ranch. She raises and sells thoroughbreds. Surely everyone recognizes Pam Fain, the smartly dressed lady who is a fashion model. The man with the glasses and a long white beard is professor Douglas Nelson. Rick Lowe is now manager of Denny's. Butch Garcia has sent word that he cannot attend today. He is in Moscow trying to teach the Russians the latest dance craze. John Cobey is now making millions as a brain surgeon. Ben Otero and Ronnie Torrez still live in Williams where they say the Class of 64 is greatly missed by everyone. Here is the latest rocket to arrive. It is privately owned by Paul Larson, and carries a few of the friends he made while in high school. Fred Diumenti is now a pilot in the Air Force. Fred Cothren has followed in his father’s footsteps and owns the first Rocket Service known. Wesley Smith is the famous scientist who discovered a new miracle drug. Mike Golightly is the All American coach for Harvard. Carver Sutton is a politician now running for President of the United States. Steven Russell is a famous movie director. Now that all the guests are here, lunch will be served. The ladies serving are Jo Ann Hayden and Belva Jenkins. They both got a start working at McCrary-McConnell Drug Store in Williams. 24
