Sere G eae Prophecy In our glimpse into the future one of the first boys that meets our eyes is Billy Bolick. He is now run- ning one of the largest race horse stables in the United States. Barbara Lentz, one of our high school chums, is now a famous model for Rezook’s. Pete Greene has now replaced Mr. Lentz as high school athletic direc- tor. We now see Malcolm Craig pushing OLD BETSY like he was in °51. Bill Bolick is still thumbing his way to Boone but we think he’s getting a little old for that. Gail Williams is still stuck in a mud _ hole with his mother-in-law trying to push him out. Louise Tolbert is thinking back on those years when she could have caught a “FORD”. Charles Klutz is now running the kitchen of the STORK CLUB in New York—He’s short order cook. Marvin Hartley is now a second lieutenant on active duty in the Pa- cific and writes his UNCLE SAM every week. Naomi Cook and Jimmy Greene are now MRS. AND MR. and he is now running Greene’s Grocery, Shirley Bar- nett is still hoping she can have a baseball team and from the looks of things she is doing pretty good. Taft Broyhill is now being promoted to manager of BRIGGS ins Detroit, FLASH — Keith Storie’s ambition has been ful- filled. He is now a gunner for UNCLE SAM. Superlatives Barbara Lentz—Louise Tolbert V aledictorian—Salutatorian Bill Bolick— 1—MOST INTELLECTUAL. aomi Cook 2—MOST POPULAR.
