THE DUNCAN WILDCAT Page 12 Senior Class Prophecy It was in the spring of nineteen fifty that my curiosity at last got the best of me. I had always wondered what became of the senior class of thirty-nine, but not very seriously until that spring. Then it got so bad that 1 had to make a tour of the world to find out what had become of those ambitious seniors. 1 began my search around Duncan and then headed north, south, east and west. I found: Xochitl Acosta, president of the Acosta Vitamin Cold Cream factory at Franklin. Arizona. Beauty’s only skin deep, Xochitl. Dick Neighbor and Thelma Merrell happily married at Duncan, Arizona. Dick is a mechanic and Thelma helps at the “Little Theater” when she can get someone to keep the kids. Gee. I thought it was just high school “puppy love.” Our yell leader. Darleen Stewart, at Phoenix, Arizona. She is a reporter for the Arizona- Republic and the Phoenix Gazette. “Sob Sister,” I believe, is what they call her. (She got her experience on the Duncan Wildcat.) Scott Sloan at Los Angeles, California. He hibernates during the summer, but plays Santa Claus at Christmas time for the little children. (The Pep Squad gave him the idea when he played basketball at Duncan.) Ottie Littleton, now possessing a strange hypnotic power, in a circus at Seattle, Wash- ington. Our football hero must have admired Dracula. (The Duncan girls thought that they noticed a little natural talent when he was in high school.) Richard (Dick) Hext (we remember that excellent actor when—) at Hollywood. Cal- ifornia. He puts Robert Taylor in the shade, so the critics say. Fern Burtcher at Reno. Nevada. She was too busy for visitors, but they say that she is writing an autobiography. No, not for history; for the True Story Magazine. Jack Lunt. a W.P.A. worker, at Little Rock. Arkansas. He learned the trade in Mr. Murphy’s American Government Class. Irl Lunt. owner of the world’s largest dude ranch, near Helena. Montana. Wasn’t he an F.F.A. boy? (I recognized him because of the orange spot on the back of his blue jacket.) Norman Blazzard at New York. X. Y. He is Joe Louis’ famous successor. We have to hand it to you, Norman. (I wonder if he got any experience punching a punch-bag in the Duncan High School basement.) Houston Russell, world famous “play-boy,” at New York, N. Y. Greta Garbo is his latest fiancee. (His talent asserted itself in his high school days, I believe.) Wayne Lunt. a taxi driver, at Boston. Massachusetts. He got his experience in “They Eyes of Tlaloc” and “David Swan.” (Mr. Freestone must have had mental telepathy powers.) Wayne Holden, the only living specimen of a martyr, at Chicago. Illinois. I don’t mean to frighten the present Biology class but he did it for science, Mr. Flledge. Bruce Robertson at Berlin. Germany. He is the new German Dictator, but the real brains of the family, it is whispered, is the little wife. June Sherman. (June always was ambitious, and Bruce calls himself a “Soldier of Fortune.”) Edwin Dean at London. England. He recently made a successful trip to Mars and married the princess of that planet. (Another home town boy makes good.) Venna Allred at Paris, France. You will find the most gay. vibrant, thrilling new styles in her famous dress shop, located in the heart of Paris. (Perhaps Home Ec did help her.) W X Willis Attaway, whose picture is always to be found on the sports page of your favorite newspaper, at Paris. France. He recently set a new speed record in the Olympic Games. Foot racing wasn’t it. Willis? Therese Celix--yz— (1 don’t just recall how it was spelled, but it is none other than our old schoolmate, Sarah Mae Gale) at London, England. She is a famous opera singer and goes clear up to high P. Also in London, England, Helen Stover. She is famous for her tap dancing, and, confi- dentially, she will soon be the second Duchess of Windsor. A ?cn Stowell in Tucson, Arizona. She inherited a fortune from a millionaire uncle in i, and has started a charity home for elderly women. I guess it’s just her kind heart laps her benevolent nature. yne B at Duncan. Arizona. He has at last rooted Bug Quinn out of his f the Peace. He says that it just takes determination to succeed. New Mexico. She has a nice family: One parrot, two cats, ' o gold fish and white mice. da She is a bathing beauty and Florida’s pride and joy, : ' olmate. Lone or p- A % id be ■ Pi - S t tice tl(, I . • ot .h»
