Along the way of our eighth year we picked up June Fred, Connie Hedge, Jacqueline J arret, Neil Johnson, Judy Turner, Fern Abbott, Jewell Butler, and Glenda Marshall.

V i CLASS PROPHECY We, the Senior Class of Avon High School, in this year of nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, are entering in this big, wide world of experience to start hunting for success. Let's jump ahead about twenty years to see how successful these members have been. We'll take a tour of the world in our jet-propelled rocket ship, which is the most common way of transportation now. Before boardingthe ship we will go to Ayres for our space suits where we find, much to our surprise, that Glenda J' ordan is the owner. She tells us that Christine Chilcote, now studies art in Paris and she lives with the famous fashion designer, DianifDiana Meunier.J After boarding the rocket ship, we find that our pilot is none other than Roy Houchins. His navigator is Lawrence Peters and the stewardess, Rosalie Brown. We decide that our first stop will be in London, England. There we are met by the Prime Minister, who is Bob Reed. He takes us to one of the theaters where the leading lady is Lavine Harrell, who is starring in The Kentuckianf' We visit with her for awhile and then we're off to France. On the Riveria, we are amazed to see one of our old classmates, Jimmy Acton, who is a world renowned beauty contest judge. ,Timmy tells us he is very devoted to his work and hopes someday to be judge of the Miss Universe Contest again, as he has already judged four contests. Leaving France we decide to go to Spain where we see much to our surprise, Sara McDonald who is in Europe traveling with her husband, the Secretary of State, of the U. S. Near Madrid, our rocket breaks down and the world famous rocket mechanic, Dean Hayden, is rushed from Tibet, where he is hiding out from Plainfield. On the spot, covering this world shaking event, is Mary Lewis, editor of the LOWER SLOBIVIA ECHO. Dean couldn't seem to fix the rocket ship so the most famous scientist in the U.S., Professor Fintimo BradleyfKentJ is sent for. By a happy coincidence, the five time winner of the 500 mile race in Indianapolis, Eddie Miller, zooms in. He soon has the rocket in good order. We travel on to Italy and find among the ruins, a famous archeologist, Joyce, The Rock McGinnis. She tells us her husband has control of several Dairy Companies in the U.S:'and abroad. In Venice, we take a ride in agondola. Our boatman has the best singing voice in all,Venice. We take a second glance and discover him to be our old classmate, Tildon Shields. I After visiting with Tildon, we head for home. On arriving at the rocket port in New York, we are met by the owner of our rocket ship, Ray Muston. He now owns approximately 3,000 ships. Ray has with him Marcia Rhees, who manages the largest publishing 'housein the U.S. She invites us to dinner at her Park Avenue peut house. As for the authors of this document, they were among the guests at Marcia's. Both of them are best seller novelists in Upper Slobivia, and have written such works as Twenty Years In A Jail Cell, and Gone and Forgotten. Anita and Owen Co-Authored with Mrs. Allshouse in writing the article on Why I Quit Teaching, and Oh, Those Seniors!
