CLASS PROPHECY While reading the latest news reports of those famous celebrities, former students of E.T.H.S. class of '47, we were very delighted to see the notice of an alumni meeting being held in the glorious southern mansion now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lyle McWilliams, the former Joan Everett, the famous socialite of this city. After arriving and being greeted by those two music lovers, Beverly Vincent and Leon Polkers, we managed after a great deal of quizzing, to learn that Bev la a concert musician, playing with Phil Splitany's all-boy orchestra and is often running into that star of the clarinet, former resident of Panola, Leon Folkers.

Dale Letsinger arrived a trifle late, due to a business meeting in New York Dale and his partner, John Eastman, have become famous for their new invention of the strip-o-plane which can land on a square foot of land. Their secretary, Miss Lucile Pfister, has been a great asset to the prosperous development of the business, though she claims if they don't quit investigating Ford Agencies, loss will be staring them in the face. It seems the customers prefer helicopters to Model T's. Franklin Jones is serving as Principal at El Paso High and we're sure he fills his position well, as we know he was around the office enough from '43 to »47 to know a principal's job well. We met Jack Harvey, manager of the Harvey boys football varsity team and were given tickets to the Saturday night game with Weber's College at Kappa. The entertainment of the day consisted of a demonstration given by our cosmeticians, Irma Jean,Alice, and Berrenice, in which they presented their latest products, iVessel Bait Lipstick and Woelfle Foundation Cream . Charlie Cox entertained us with his hog calling”. Due to his excellent vocal training by Prof. Red Eft”, he is able to acquire additional income by advertising Gene Y ilkey's latest discovery The Off and On Cure-Foot Powder . Betty Jurgens and Betty Lindsay have very amusing jobs as cigarette girls in the Comet cv ned and operated by Bernard Remmert and Earl Longman. Polo's Comet is famous the world over for it3 exquisite floor show starring that vivacious and stunning dramatic team, Jeannette Eichelberger and Arlene Hartwig. These two fine actresses recently received Oscars for their performance in Richard's Other Exit . The proprietors informed us that much of their success Is due to their dieticians Velma Hall and Deloris Newkirk, and their famous chef, Herbert Pinkham, who plan the meals dovm to the last chaser. The Comets respectable reputation is enforced by the official bouncer Eleanor Fenton, who's doing what comes naturally because of her grandfather's policingability. The former jockey, Kay Burroughs, now owns his own stable in Kentucky and his famous horse Meta Mora is giving him a sufficient income His Jockey boy, Moe Wilson, is fast developing into Mr. Burrough's manager, and was riding Water Boy last season when this horse stormed the Kentucky Derby. Miss Margie Pinkham arrived with her boss Allen Schertz, in Mr. Schertz's Helio Plane, just in time to catch the celebs gathered in the Bohemian garden. Mr. Schertz, the famed Mirror photographer, has starred Miss Pinkham in several photo flash contests. His chauffeur, Gene Heller, is well known to all of us at the Road King of 1947 . Gene has backed the building of a fifteen-story garage in Secor, so as to balance the town of skyscrapers. Marjorie Kingdon, who is serving as telephone operator at the White House was also unable to be with us, but we understand she phones an El Paso resident daily, merely to keep up on the city's news. Dona Punke, famous as a cosmetic advertising 3ueen, is working for that outstanding company the Verasteff owned and operated by Joe Powell. Doris Wadsworth, Mayorette of Toolerville reports that her deputies, Lois Poor-baugh and Ruth Garrels were caught off duty the night of Joan Wollenschlager»s debut as The Modern Mother of Enright (town that is). As chief baby sitters of Toolerville, they felt greatly inspired by Joan's knowledge of child care. After a pleasant day with all of our old acquaintances eb this beautiful southern heme, we are ready to retire to the peaceful western ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick, the former Joan Pierce.
