CLASS PROPHECY-SENIOR CLASS OF 1970 As I was “tooling through the Carny” the other day, I happen chance stumbled upon “Billy Ashley’s Sooth-Sayer Booth. Recognizing his whiskered old face as one of my high school cohorts, I immediately slapped down my coinage and entered. He looked into his crystal ball and proceeded to tell me the fate of the class of 1970. As the crystal cleared we saw Sam Brewer. He just got fired from his job as an elevator operator, because he couldn’t control his tongue. As usual, he throught he got the shaft. Corrine Clark has gained total recognition for being herself. She finally won the “Patsy of the Year” award. Brad Cribbet’s childhood dream has come true. Due to vast experience in high school days, he now runs the playboy club. Tuning into a different trequency we saw Steve Dukeman now working as a model for Mabelline. Vickie Davis is also in the advertising business. She’s now modelling the new look for underdeveloped people. Cindy Brown and Joann Osman are still together in a joint business.
