SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On a warm summer night in 1963 finds the BCHS graduating class of 53 at their first reunion at the exclusive Club Caddoa, on the shore of Lake Hasty, about 20 miles from Las Animas. Partially hidden by artificial palms are two members of the class, a man and his wife, who are commenting on meeting their old classmates. The woman says to her husband, There’s Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hayward. She was the former Jean McBride, you know. Leo is in the senate now and he also owns the Hayward Standard Service in Las Animas. And look who just came in--Clark Billings and Vance Burton. After Serving in the paratroops they toured Pan America. They’re also rolling in the chips since they bought Clark’s Casino in Reno. And there with them is Melvin Taylor. Melvin is a professor at Mines now. Tap dances at a night club in Golden every night for extra money, too. . Oh, do you see Yoland Meyer? She's the one in the mink. She just flew in from the coast after a Bermuda honeymoon. It's her third marriage, but she says this time it’s for keeps. And there's Mrs. Max Wheeler. She was Judy Taliaferro, you know. She said she left Max at home with their three boys. They hope to have their own basketball team someday. Joan Dimmitt just came in after riding the water skis out on the lake. She is making her 25th picture for Warner Brothers next year. It'll be called My Heart Pines for You. There's Gracie Elmer. She still lives in Las Animas and is trying to make up her mind about a sailor and home town ex-Marine. Who's that dancing out there? Why it’s Mr. and Mrs. John Edgett. She was Donna Canfield. Since she worked his way through college, they have been living on a farm near here. George Fields is still wrestling with the old maid problem. He's dancing with Jean Burger, a kindergarten teacher. He is manager of Safeway and they plan to be married when they feel they can afford it. There's Hazel. Used to be Breckenridge, you know. She is quietly married to a minister. Don't Yoshimi Hasui and Sue Marcum look chic? They should, they're fashion directors at the Denver Dry Goods. Nona Gay Sallee came from her ranch in Tucson. She will stay until the State Fair when she appears as trick rider of Nelson's Nimble Tricksters. Beverly Glasscoe is modeling for Breck Shampoo ads. The photographers cna't keep their minds on their work, either. Remember that junk yard we passed outside of town? Don White, Tim McChesney, and Kenneth Arnold own it. They are developing a rocket ship out of old cars. There's Joan Lingle over by the orchestra. She is married to Dave Terboss now and they live in New York state. Barbara Shriver is married too, to a Marine captain. Mollie Thomas has succeeded Mr. Thurston in the science department at BCHS. And, oh, Ron Losey just made an appearance. He is number 99 on the Navy football team. There's Larry Tucker, too. He owns Tuck's General Store near the Fort. And Ed Gillespie and Willie Quarles. They own the Sunbow pop factory now. They call it Peco and Cue's Beverages. Boy, Brad Samuelson has sure changed. He lives in New York and is a bookie taking bets on the Yankees. Joan Akin has gone to the big city, too. She is the blond bombshell of Ziegfield follies in Hollywood. Marjorie Rasmussen just came over on an ocean liner from England, where she is a famous poet. Beulah Platt came with her; she is dressmaker for Queen Elizabeth. Dorothy Carpenter is mother of the Theta Rho girls chapter in Las Animas. That guy playing the trombone in the orchestra is Eugene Bentley. He looks real nice in his tuxedo. Don Phillips is the owner of that new filling station out here, Conoco, of course. Patrick Springstead could hardly find time to come, he's working on a big law suit. He's state DA. Lester Uyeda, leading Bent county truck farmer is raising onions that are known in hamburger joints the world over.
