Prophecy of the Warriors - - - After the depression the wealthy owner of the Tuxedo Feed Store, Richard Baker, dwindled away to nothing and is now quite well known for his book, Shadow of My Former Self. Betty Ballard, a famous scholar of eugenics, has disclosed to the world the formula for red (oops, I mean auburn) hair and freckles. After his extensive training in the Classical field, Robert Bales replaced Mrs. Lynn as instructor of Latin so she can spend her full time filing excuses. Jo Ann Barger, better known to us as Queenie,” is now the Supreme Monarch of the Isle of Bongo- Songa, only fifteen hundred miles from Suga-Suga. Trink Campbell, better known as Digger, has made record progress in the mortician ' s field. His motto, Campbell’s Caskets are Cozy, has become the byword of the nation. He would be the last man in the world to let you down. Sarah Fann Deibert, one of our more versatile classmates, who always thought variety was the spice of life,” has been married and divorced many times; but it seems that she has finally settled down and is now running a nursery for the married couples of C F. H. S. Jean Harlow, Dottie Miller and Jean Tyree, who got an early start in life, seemed to have kept at it; for they now own and operate a second-hand jewelry store, dealing mostly in engagement rings. William Wilkins, voted by his classmates to go far in the world,” must have taken us literally; for he is now an Admiral in the U. S. Navy and has cir¬ cumnavigated the globe sixteen times. He was re¬ cently rescued when he tripped over his sword and fell into a fish pond! Donna Rae Harrell, one of our brightest class¬ mates, who became a famous psychiatrist, made the fatal mistake of psychoanalyzing herself and is now enjoying a nice, private, padded cell! Bob Pollock is now a foreign missionary in the Belgian Congo; his wife, the former Dickie” Deaton, gave up her first chair in the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra to go along to protect him. Margaret Howard has become the first notorious (er, uh—I mean famous) lady house painter. She recently discovered a new shade which has shocked the world; it’s called Passionate Purple. Jean Brown, one of the more shy and reserved girls of the class, is now working in a burlesque show in Roanoke, a suburb of Clifton Forge. Peggy Pete” Wilhelm, one of our high school hot rod racers,” gave up a promising career as a hell-driver to become a great lady in the business world; she designs the internationally famous racing jitney known as the Streamlined Puddle Jumper.” Gloria Taylor, the brilliant star of our Senior Class Play, turned to acting as a career; she has risen rapidly to stardom by replacing Jane Russell as Sweater Girl of 1961.” Robert Westerman, after spending the best years of his life in high school, decided it was too late for a change. He bought himself a pair of crepe-soled shoes and is now principal of our old Alma-Mater.” Farmer Herman Smith, an advocate of scientific farming, since his eight years at V. P. I. has recently discovered oil while planting radishes in his flower bed. This added wealth allows him to spend more time in his attempt to grow an egg plant with two yokes. After Joanne Eanes lost dozens of arguments that her hair was not red, but auburn, she took a course in the Art of Debating and now is chief counselor for Domestic Relations Cases at the State Capital on Main Street. Tommy Nelson, after writing the CFHS school song, continued with his productions and after years of inspiration an achievement was rewarded with the position as Dean of Richpatch University. Gladys Jeffries just couldn’t get used to signing her name correctly on checks. She is now making plenty of cash writing Advice for the Lovelorn” for the Daily Review, one of Clifton Forge’s leading news¬ papers. Peggy Pete” Evans, after graduation, turned to journalism to earn her bread and butter, of which she only got the crumbs. She has recently received recognition in the literary field for her book, Life Behind the Iron Curtain, which, by the way, has been dedicated to the CFHS faculty of 1951. Tommy Ingram, one of those characters” who has to argue down another person’s opinion before he can believe his own, has become a state senator and has done a lot to improve our ole school” by in¬ stalling an elevator so the love-sick couples do not have to be disturbed at lunch time by teachers and students who insist on parading up and down the middle steps. Marguerite Thurston who, after graduation, decided to become a nurse, was recently promoted to chief back-scratcher for Western State Hospital in Staunton. Nancy Hambrick has really worked herself up in the world; she recently replaced Bill Sterns as sports announcer and has her office on the tenth floor of Station W.C.F.V. Peggy Rapp married half a dozen times to practice cooking for different men. Now she considers her¬ self an expert and is second in command in the hot- dog section of the large new Cafe La Stooge. Jerry” Smith, recently voted business woman of the year, got her start as a secretary but was fired after going on a sit-down strike, which she quickly gave up; now her theme is: I Ain’t Gonna Take It Sittin’ Down. Mildred Overhulser decided to go in training; and after careful preparation in the latest medical treat¬ ments, landed a job at the local zoo, where she takes care of sick monkeys and snakes. Barbara Booth, while experimenting with ice cream one day, discovered a drug which is a sure cure for toothache among chickens. She is now slaving night and day to discover a new laundry soap that just Won’t Do Anything.”
