Class Prophecy My, ray. It doesn’t seem possible that it is May 21st, I96I4.. That date brings back many memories of good old high school days. Since then the Class of has traveled far. Why only the other day I read an article about BOB LA3A- TER, one of the world’s most famous English teachers, and how he hated English. Another classmate ERNEST TOOKE, has since become the Champion Cowboy in the United States. Ernie always was good at things like that. I read in a recent paper that BERTHA LAVELL played the piano in a concert for some native tribe down in the Congo region. Have you ever heard of Bestest Milk ? That is the product of the famous you chain of dairy farms owned by ELLIS WILLIAMS and HERB McCAMISH. JANICE HARRINGTON, better known to her friends of the ring as Jigger' 18 traveled all over lec- two now wrestling in Madison Square Garden. Last year she turing about and teaching the methods of wrestling. CAROL PHELPS’ race horses have won the Kentucky Derby for the past years. I have heard though that she takes more pride in the palomino horses she raises on a ranch in Montana. Since MARY O’CONNOR’S marriage to a rancher, she has been perfecting ways of getting chickens to lay larger eggs. I’ve heard it told that so far they are about the size of an orange. They say that NANCY COOPER is the first woman to play on the Yankee Base- ball team. Nancy has played in four World Series and has the highest batting average of any player on the team for this year. CHARLES ELMORE, a famous bridge building engineer, has been trying for the last five years to build a bridge span across the Strait of Gibralter. He has- n’t succeeded yet. RICHARD MALMQUI3T, a dedicated bachelor. Is now the president of the BinikI Bathing Suit Co. He has been trying to out rule the two piece French bathing suit. Another traveler from this class is WILFRED STIEG. He has spent many hours in Antarctica trying to teach Penquins to fly. REGINA STUART, since starting to follow the Air Force a few years back, has now started flying jet planes as a hobby. I’m sure that everyone has heard of CHARLES SYKES. He went to Russia sev- eral years ago to unify and to Improve their postal system. His latest trick was to make a two-headed postage stamp so that you could never put it on upside down. GERALDINE WELCH always seemed to be a rather mild girl in school but now she can out talk Bob Hope. Incidentally that’s what she does. I’ve heard it told that Bob is about to turn his television show over to Geraldine. DARLENE ELMORE, world traveler and explorer, recently returned to the Unit- ed States. With her came three shrunken heads as a gift from some tribe in Africa. Darlene went down to teach them how to polka. A couple of years ago as I passed through New York, I was amazed to rina DON KEMP walking down the street with his hands full of window washing equip- ment. He told me that he washed the windows of the U. N. building had made millions doing it. T Someone Just asked what connection I have with the class, I guess to tell you. The name’s SHIRLEY RICHMOND. I’m a guard on the All American Red- headed Girl’s basketball team. Oh, oh, there goes the buzzer. Incldently you can’t qualify for this team if you are under six feet tall. and that he I forgot
