SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY My friends, we are gathered here today to witness the launching of a ship and also to renew friendships of days past. Here, over the azure waters of Panola Hole, with a background of weeds, mud and the water tower, I, Mr. Stephen Claggett, present principal of E.T.H.S., gaze upon the smil- ing faces of the Senior Class of 1944. I think of you as the ones who used to tease me when I came out to school at 3:30. To- day I am proud to have with us all you celebrities who have really become famous in the world. June Johnson voted Miss Panola Hole of 1959 by all of Panola's 23 inhabitants, will Christen the ship MARSI DOATS at the launching with Eau de Galore Perfume. Lyle McWilliams has stopped off for a few hours with his all-girl rhythm band and will entertain us with a bit of boogie- woogie on the tonette. Although we have a few entertainers, we also have many people who are now famous in other phases of life. Norma Campbell has just won the Pulitzer Prize for her book, A Tavern Grows in Kappa!! g her first book was The Germs You Get in a Kiss. Anne Burster, the famed flutist, post- poned a concert in which she was co- starred with Pagannini, to attend this re- union and favor us with her own arrange- ment of Three Blind Mice. She is the champion flutist in the world, playing with mittens on her hands. Paul Cox appears regularly as one of the quiz kids. Since he lost all his teeth in a taffy-eating contest he talks like a six- year-old who has lost his baby teeth. Barbara Hany, the radio singer on sta- tion CORN, has decided to accept a movie contract. Reta Zehr designs all her gowns. Reta has become famous for her new drape shape. The slogan of her shoppe is A drape for your shape with no red tape. Mary Rita Barclay has just composed her own arrangement of The Poet's and the Pheasant's Overshoesf' which she will play after giving her own rendition of Anchors and Whey in honor of the oc- casion. Duane Rice has finally come into his own as an orator. He won a contest last month because he could talk longer than anyone else without saying anything. That charming couple, Wilbur Hart- man, and his lovely wife, the former Miss Agnes Roberts, have become quite noted as the proud parents of quintuplets. The cocker spaniel given to them by Grandpa Snyder gave birth to five puppies. John Malcom, the famous comedian, just returned from touring Europe to per- form for royalty. He returned much sooner than he expected. It seems he put a thumb tack on the throne of a Bulgarian king as a practical joke. Since Frank Sinatra ruined his sweet tenor voice by singing Speak Low too much and changing it to bass, Edson Dress- ler has taken over his program, bobby socks and all. Do the girls swoon!! Dorothy Geeding, a member of the Women's Crusaders, is now crusading for bigger and better mail boxes. Her co- worker is Marilyn Shaffer, who has de- signed postage stamps in six delicious flavors. Art Cooper has revolutionized the stocking world with his new leg paint. The leg paint is mixed with Sterno. Keeps your legs warm in cold weather. Miss 'Elaine Lampe travels with him for demonstra- tion purposes. That famous chemistry sleuth, Esther Allison, has just discovered a new process for making kleenex out of old exam papers. Senator Willis Kirkton has just added the 22nd amendment to the Constitution, The Rights of-the Married Man. Gene Steffen, when not working in his pogo stick factory works for Walt Disney. He models for Superman Meets the Wolf Girlf, The Wolf Girl is the former Lois Wadsworth. Elizabeth Coyle is now a real celebrity in the theatrical world. Her stage name is Lizzy Belle and she recently starred in For Whom the Belles Toil. Dean and Dale Fever are becoming quite well educated and expect to advance in digging flower beds. They have been attending a large number of schools, the latest being Madame Lombi's Rhumba School. Mary K. Pfister is a soprano in the Metropolitan Opera Company. Her aria in the Merchant of Venice will be Super Suds' or It All Comes Out in the Wash. CContinued on page 465
