1948 CLASS PROPHECY Once again the time has arrived to try to imagine the who, what, when, and where of this year's Senior Class. VVill you accompany me on my imaginary journey into the clouded future to see the ordin- ary little milltown of Apollo in the year 1958? To catch up on the recent news, shall we stop at the Apollo News Stand, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Bruner, the former Julia Davis, to buy an Apollo Gazette, which we notice is edited by Mr. XVilliam Libengood. XVe look at the so- ciety page and are quite surprised at the list of recent weddings. Included among these are Miss Mary Roman to Mr. Ronald Cllittyb Talmadge. Miss Dora Jean Bash to Mr. john Royer, who are nowtresiding at jersey Shore. Also, Miss Mary Lou Burkett to Mr. Donald Ramaley, who is the proprietor of the first cigarette factory in Apollo. Miss Doris jean Clever is now married to Mr. Harold Crawford, owner of Crawford's National Feed Store. Let's wander up Apollo's famous fairway, VVarren Avenue. We stroll past Charlie Carr's Pool Parlor, now managed by Richard VVhit- linger. As we peer through the cloudy windows we seen Dean Newton, jim McCullough, and Duck Lauffer, who are still planning their trip to California on motor bikes. Notice that Bob Chipp is not mentioned in this group as he and the former Mary Alice Kennedy have decided to settle down and have three little chips off the old block. XVe are thirsty for one of the Libertyis well- known cokes. but as we start in. we are rudely pushed aside by jiggs McLaughlin, the pro- prietor, who is kicking out Bern Kelly because he refused to pay his bill. As we finally get in- side, we see Mrs. McLaughlin, the former Peggy Harbison, standing meekly behind the counter watching the scene. The officers of the Apollo Bachelorls Club, who are Bill Guthrie, Paul Giannetto, Herb Barber, Leland Grimm, and Leonard Davis, have met here this afternoon, so we decide to talk to them. Some of the more ,prominent members of the club. we are told. have become internationally known. Dick Kelly is now international bubble gum champ. -lack Baustert is the Professor of Mathematics at U. C. L. A. Dick Calderone is president of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Dave Caldwell is a speed demon at the Vandergrift Municipal Airport. Art XValker is another Boris Karloff of the hor- ror pictures. Don Clark is in partnership with Charles Atlas showing what happens if you don't follow directions. Cltaul Nicholson didn't follow directionsj Charles Reese is now a world famous comedian known as 'fHot Shot Charlie. And last, but not least, Furman Curry is head of the department for fining parkers. As we leave the Liberty, we run into Dwight Cramer, who has married a deer without any doe. but has managed to raise a few bucks.' He tells us that Nancy Lou George is now a Metropolitan singer of cowboy songs, and that Ruth Deemer is a ballet star. He also tells us that Harriet Burns is selling peanuts in Neatrour's Circus which is now up at Owens Field featuring the one and only plastic bubble dancer, julia Duso. Tom Shriver is now letting all his friends down as he is head mortician at Morgan's Morgue, 83 operated by Don Morgan. W'e notice that there is a new beauty salon in Apollo run by Arlene Nelson.
