class pnophecy We, the Senior Class of Avon High School, in this year of nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, as we are about to leave this school, would like to look ahead twenty years to see some ofthe accomplishments made by the members of our fine class. We will visit the annual class reunion. Our trip will be narrated by that famous baseball player and sportscaster, Dick Wright. The reunion is to be held at the very famous night club, The Aragon Club. Upon entering, we met thc owner of this famous night spot, Margaret Tharp. After a short chat with Margaret, we saw two very distinguished looking women at a table by themselves. Getting closer, we recognized the two, they were Judy Kocher, the world's most famous designer of women's space apparel, and Caroline Howell, her head saleslady. From there we moved on and at the next table we saw a quartet we remembered wellg Tracy Crump, the owner of the world's largest fleet of space ships, and his two best pilots, Dallas Summerlot and Terry Shields. Along with them was Myrna Roseboom, a stewardess on Tracy's spaceline. At the next table we visited, we met Julie Burdge and Iona Ham, co-owners of a chain of outer space drive-in root beer stands. We left this table and moved on to meet two of our top scientists, Tom Cole who designed our first rocket to the moon, and Larry Brinker, who is working on a new fuel mixture for a rocket to Pluto. While we were speaking to them, Terry Adamson, who supervised the building of the underground city on the moon, arrived and we had a short talk with him. The next celebrity we met was Phyllis Schwenk, the renowned novelist who was seated at a table with Norma Muncy, the business manager of the wor1d's largest newspaper. The singing attraction at the Aragon Club was Irene Crouch. So before moving on we stopped to see her fine performance. As we continued our travels around the Aragon Club, we were greeted by Bob Hughes, champion pool player of the United States, and Dennis Jones, England's champion pool player who is in New York to play Bob for the world championship. The next table held quite a surprise for us, for seated here was none other than Judy Vehling who you all know was the first woman to swim non-stop from New York to London. At our next stop we met Tom Gentry, whose evangelistic meetings recently set new attendance records at Madison Square Garden. Visiting with him was none other than Geof Bradley, who coached Butler to its fifth successive national basketball championship last week. By now a crowd had gathered at the entrance, so we went over to investigate. As we made our way through the crowd, we saw that two ofthe most important guests had arrived. It was the former Grace Anne Kemp, the first Woman President of the United States, and her husband Jack White. In a small booth near the side of the ballroom, we found Mrs. Buck Rogers, better known to all of us as Velda Bates. Seated with her was that world famous flying instructor, Janet Gerdts. Then seated in the next booth, we found Jane Acton and Bob Russell, talking over old times. .T ane told us that she was running a home for retired space rangers, while we learned from Bob that he is now the president of the largest shoe firm in the United States specializing in magnetic space shoes. .sw sm sm sm Wa, s06 44 44 44 14, 6 ffl ll an an 203 'll is ms. xxx ms.

We soon became expert at peddling candy, popcorn, cokes, and ice cream. We even dabbled in the dramatics. Our junior play was One Foot in Heaven. Mrs. McCormick was our director and we don't know how she stood all our foolin' around. Our Junior-Senior Prom was a wonderful affair. We had it at the Ulen Country Club in Lebanon. Our class had diminished to thirty-six. We added Bob Russell and Ruby McKinney that year.
