CLASS HISTOR Y-Continued ‘ Then came those last moments. ’ ‘ Yes, those very last ones.’’ The Junior-Senior party, Baccalaureate, Commencement, Class Night,----- Those were the good old days. ’ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Mildred, I'll bet you can’t guess what I heard you were doing. I'll bet it’s pretty nice to settle back in your old age as ‘‘oomph”’ girl of '68, after smiling at John Power's camera for fifteen years. Well, Riley, you haven't much to say after I heard what you were doing. Just imagine you giving dancing instructions in New York City. My how this park has improved since we graduated from Ashley High School with the class of °48. Yes, especially these beautiful shade trees which were donated by each class. Oh, here comes Mrs. Carl McNutt, alias Jola Jean Albright, who is operating the ‘Jolly Jean Beauty Shop’ in Garrett, and there’s Joann Alleshouse who is keeping house for Junior Sloat. And I hear Gene McGrew, the new owner of the Ashley Garage, is doing very well and business is booming since the Bacon and Miller Hospital has been erected. All we hear any more is ‘‘Paging Dr. Robert Bacon and Dr. Kenneth Miller.’’ Look, ther’s Martha Perdue, Ashley’s music director and who’s that with her? I wonder ----= i | Why that’s Beverly Deter who has taken over her father’s printing shop and over there under the tree, donated by our class, is Dean Wysong sleeping in one of the chairs manufactured by his No Nod Company. Look, tho’s arriving now! Norma Hampshire and Herman Lehman escorted by Gerald Ladd who was our professional High School Escort, Just look at all the little Hermans and Normas. Yes, and look there is none other than our old classmate Frank Holse. He is now the sheik of sheiks in the movie world. It was always said that miracles would happen and this is surely nothing less than a miracle.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY -Continued It just seems that Barbara Rempis was meant to be a society editor. She is now employed by the editor of the American Magazine in Boston. By the way all you women hunting those new fashions better rush right over to Rita Bender's fashion shop. She’s advertised in Barbara's column. Loren Smith is president of the Horsemen’s Association and that horse of his was Hirohito’s white horse. There’s Gerald Ladd, our professional escort again, escorting Pat Hartman and Max Brand who just arrived from the White House on the president's special plane. Pat is the president’s stenographer and Max is the senator from Indiana. I hear Rosemary Danner is still trying to get a man, but that Bachelor’s Boarding House she operates hasn’t brought much success as yet, although it looks as if success stopped at Janet Wilhelm’s door, Everytime someone stops at the Walker residence all those little Walkers come running to see who the caller is. Last of all comes Lois Boyd and Belva Getts who are still using their roller skates as sailboats for finding their long lost sailors.
