CLASS PROPHECY We the prophecy committee of 1956 sit here trying to think of a prophecy for ur class, when who should walk in but Mr. Hooper and wants us to try his new angled invention that he has just finished. We get into this new contraption and here is all kinds of buttons and levers. So one of our so called bright committee nembers decided we should push a button that says 1967 and one that says Hawaii. 11 of a sudden we take off and the next instant we see Hawaii. The first thing we see is Teddy Brawn alias Tater, one of our fellow class- nates, sitting on the beach playing on his guitar, I'm in the Jailhouse Now, who should be doing the Hulu for him but Bonita Rost, Eldoris Stadel, and Shirley Jor- dan. We talk to them for awhile and they tell us that Jigger Bruce is down in that :ountry, so we decided to look him up and we find out that he owns the Bruce Pine - ipple Company. He invites us in for a dish of pineapple and his wife, Charlene Knipfer serves us. We then decided to go somewhere else so we got in the new contraption, pushed a button that said Mexico and were off. In Mexico we see Jim Pat and Arlene on :heir honeymoon after being married by Rev. Jack Kinsey. We then push another button and before we know it we are in Japan where we see a blind man selling pencils on the street (is he really blind or just earning an easy living?) we discover that it is none other than Montie Stanhope. We talk to him and he tells us that he has just recently married Betty Fried. The four of us decided we would journey back to the U.S. for awhile so we stopped in North Carolina where we see Robert Scoles who at this time owns 91 shotgun factories and 24 tobacco factories. He tells us that he has been courtin’Janice Karch who has been working for him trying to sort his tobacco from his shotguns. We then go to California to see the magnificent Sequoia trees and we come upon a sign that says, N. F. Motel, three trees and four branches straight ahead. Up- on our arrival Royal Noftsker greets us and his partner, Elroy Fried, who is dearly watching his fiancee, Dianne Burns in a stunning bathing suit about ready to dive off the high dive. We then go to Alcatraz where we see Roger (Pook) Brownson trying to file his way out of prisonbars. We asked him what he was there for and he said, for stealing cowboy boots to keep my feet warm. We leave him with a quick good-bye and go back to the contraption and pushed a button that said Texas. The four of us go to Texas and we see Gar land Strother working on an oil well. When we leave there we only have three of us left. I wonder what happened to Carolyn? Yes, we wonder? Three of us journey our way to a little college town in Montana where we see Marvin and Walter still working away on Chemistry, they had to keep reading about it to find out just where it ends. It never does. We now go to Alaska where we see Ruth Sheehan has put to good use her voice, she is singing hillbilly songs to the Eskimos. We push the button that says Africa and we're off. We see Mildred Heiser and her safari. We talk to her for awhile and she tells us that she had just inherited a few million dollars from a rich old aunt. We get back into the contraption and who should be gone this time but Dennett. We look out the contraption and there sits Dennett on the ground playing in a million dollar pile of greenbacks with Mildred on his lap. We tell him good-bye and the two of us journey on our way. Next we go to the Calgary Stampede where we see Carola roping brahma bulls for a living. We leave here and are on our way to Argentina where we see Donna Paulson and Jerry Coldwell herding sheep. We then go to Chicago, Illinois, where we see Roy Ferrel playing with the Har- lem Globe Trotters. There we also see Claudia Sleeth who is a cheerleader. We then hurry off to France where we see Lawrence Boucher stillchasing girls as usual. KIT KAT KLUB 17 RANDASH MOTORS

CLASS POEM Carolyn John Benvald is small as a mouse, Bui her appetite’s probably as big as a house. Bruce Dahlman’s a fellow who has his own car, But he's still under age to go in a bar. Tater Braun can drive his fine car. He can also sing and play a guitar. Roger Rook Brownson, our captain was. His helmet covered a Red Ball of Fuzz. Jigger Bruce is our sports minded friend. To a girl's winking eye he'll put a quick end. Lawrence Boucher is so terribly quiet, We nearly forgot him. ISN’T THAT A RIOT! ! Phyllis Bean done said I do . Now she's home cooking stew. Delsa Travis is another lass. Who entered in the wedded class. Elroy Fried is a farmer boy, And he’s his mother's pride and joy. One of our boys shot off his toes, So now he goes by Shotgun Scoles . If you should see a walking hat, Worry not it's only Kinsey, Jack. When Marvin’s around you’d better run. Cuz he carries a camera instead of a gun. Jerry Coldwell drives a Cheve heap. When he's out of school, he's herding sheep. Now Royal Noftsker is our class clown. You’ll wonder, What next , when he's around. Walter Martel once had a sprain. Not very serious cuz it was his brain. Eldoris Stadel drives a screamin’ Ford. She'll probably end up in a mental ward. Dianne Burns is typist for our school paper. When there's gossip around she'll cause quite a caper. Darlene Ferrel is quite a lass. When she's in the hall cause she’s kicked out of class. And BHS don’t bother Roy. When he's off to Ismay, Boy oh Boy!! Mildred Heiser ain't too big a mass. But when in her pick-up she’s really in class. Shirley Jordan is Eldoris’s friend. They stick together to the bitter end. Janice Karch is Dianne’s pal. And you can bet she’s quite a gal. Ruth Sheehan this year book did edit. ’Tis to her that you can give all the credit. Claudia Sleeth is really in gear. With her clever earrings in her ear. Tiptoes Stanhope is a villain. Thinks he’s God’s gift to women. Charlene Knipfer cowgirl fair. Watch her horses rare. Donna Paulson sez with ease, Whatcher’ number!! Number Please.” 11a Paulson had her fling. Now she’s got a diamond ring. Arlene Schell was a steady with Jim. But hey there fellows she's free again. Garland Strother made one girl sing. Until she saw his other ring, Butchie Peck's real name is Dennett. Maybe someday he'll end up in the Senate. Jim Pat Niccum is quite a wit. In any crowd he’ll make a hit. J. G. don’t you try to mock. But where did you get your nickname, JOCK !! ? Carola Varner is teacher’s pet, Keep your fingers crossed, she'll graduate yet. Betty Fried is right in step. Being drill leader is really hep. Bonita Rost used to giggle in class. Until she broke her foot. Alas! Alas! Mary Lou Woodsend is our last. She is graduating fast!! We hope we didn’t hurt your pride. If we did just lay this poem aside. We didn't intend to flatter you. So now we'll bid you fond adieu.
