PROPHECY O TROKING a long white beard and focussing your astigmatic and myopic eyes upon the pellucid, crys- tal ball of the future, I have cast a few horoscopes, to wit: ELIZABETH WOODCOCK: Is doing what she always has wanted to do. She's a Life Guard at Coney Island and is saving all the handsome fellows on the beach. ANNA MCKELLIGOTT: Is a singer in one of those big night clubs in New York. Not bad either. MARIE TOWERS: Is now our new Homemaking teacher in Corinth and is doing a swell job. JOAN FENTON: Has finally found her one and only and has settled down to be a homemaker. JANET BARRASS: Is now a successful teacher in square dancing and has a school at Stony Creek teach- ing the dudes. RUTH LEWIS: Has her own little store now and we can't help ourselves to the ice cream and cookies. VERA WHITE: Has finally settled down and has quite a basketball team of her own now. SANDRA CLAYTON: Now operates an argyle factory and is a very successful business woman. LOUISE EGGLESTON: Has the fellow that she always wanted in high school and they're running the transportation business now. LYN HOFFMAN: Is now a “Florence Nightingale and amuses her patients by dancing for them. FRED MILLIS: Since Fred did so well selling coke in school, he now has a coke business of his own. VALERIE MILLS: Now has a rodeo of her own, and, isn't it strange how all her participants have red hair? JOAN BALDWIN: Since Joan settled down, there isn't as much room in the “Chevy as there used to be. LEO LECLAIR: Is now the commander of the United States Army Air Force. RICHARD HESSER: Remember all the fun we used to have in Dick's '37 Ford? -- Well, he keeps it as a souvenir and drives a Cadillac now. LORETTA BENWARE: Is now part owner in the Empire store, and takes a very keen interest in certain clerks. MARTHA PRICE : Has gone to France to see her relatives and while she is over there, she is studying voice. JOHN MURPHY: Is still a bachelor and still dreams of going to Ireland to kiss the “Blarney Stone. VINCENT VENABLES: Is now playing basketball with one of the top teams and is still making those long trips up to Corinth. DAVID BARROWS: Has been doing stunt driving on his motorcycle in a carnival and, from all reports, is doing very well. ROBERT BUTTLES: Now is a high pressure salesman in cars -- especially Pontiacs. He now owns the garage on Saratoga Avenue. RICHARD COLVIN: Well, we won't have to worry about our kids anymore -- Speedy finally had a gov- ernor put on his Plymouth. DONALD BRINER: Weil, what do you know? -- Donnie finally opened up a Dude Ranch, so now he doesn't have to spend all his time going back and forth in the summer time. ROGER IDE: Roger is now a ski instructor at Sun Valley and even has ermine lined ski boots. EVELYN WASHBURN: I walked into Ellis Hospital the other day and who should be sitting at the super- intendent's desk but Evelyn. She went right up in this world. ROBERT SNYDER: “Doc now has a hospital for sick animals, and is doing very well. RICHARD SEIGEL: Have you tuned in to the Quiz Kids lately? Dick's now the new Joe Kelly. EMILE WILLETT: I hear that Emile finally found his class ring. I wonder who the lucky one was that finally hooked him. ROBERT PATRENETS: Hebe now has a shoe repair shop on Maple Street. I wonder if he lets his help- ers sit around all day like Don used to let him. A? eA r j0 Y 14
