PBCPHECY June 15, 1965 A few months ago as I sat by the fireside.. I began wondering how my classmates of 1950 were faring in this cold, cruel world. I there and then decided to find out about each of my classmates. Merle Jones who joined the Navy before school was out is still in the Navy. He was promoted once but lost his promotion the next day when he got to celebrating too big. He is still known as Long-Come-Jones. Charles Limper is now a very scientific farmer. He now has 300 acres of farming land and it is increasing in size all the time: He has four boys, the first one he named Eeny, the second one Meeny, the third one Miny, and the fourth one he named No Moe. Leland Redfern is now lhold your breath! president of the Coffeen National Band. WSpeedy' still is a great hunter. As yet he has not found a woman good enough for him. Louie DeSart has been owner and operator of the old Harold Myers Store for the last five years. He now owns a chain of stores in five differ- ent towns. Lucille McDonough is now the Corno Feed Sack' Wife of Vanburensburg. Since her marriage the population of the WBurgW has increased rapidly. Marilyn Massa who has not-yet found a man to suit her is as yet an old maid. Marilyn heads the gossip column in the Coffeen News Herald. She is on a twelve party line. Guess how she gets her news? Carl Spears, a very up and coming young fellow, soon after graduation, got the urge for adventure. He went to Alaska where at the present time he is a very prosperous trapper. Bruce Kimbro is now touring the United States with the Bangum and Bungling Circus. He stars as a professional weight lifter. During the winter he is bouncer for the Deluxe Night Club. Jim White after serving two years in the Navy signed a contract with the St. Louis Browns. Since his first year when he batted .LOC he has had an unheard of average. It is so lowthat it has never been reported Eunice Rumery, commonly known as 'TexW, returned to the oilwells of Texas to marry her beloved dreamboy. Dreamboy fizzled out, so Tex is back in Coffeen as a Wsodajerkn. Ralph White after struggling through four years of college returned to Coffeen to coach the Coffeen Bulldogs. He has racked up a terrifi c record, one never equalled before in the history of Coffeen High. In the last ten years he has only won ten games. Each win was over Fill- more in the Coffeen gym.
