Senior Prophecy Ohl Nol not another report, the last one nearly got us down.” it»s the same teacher, a few more wrinkles and a little less Hair, the same room and subject; Mr. Leefs social ec. class of 1970. A small red haired girl was Just bemoaning another report, as a re- sult of some misdemeanor she had done earlier in class. Peoole say that such traits are acquired not inherited but we don't find it true' in this case. You see, the little freckle faced girl is Willene Weather spoon, and we fin'd in her the sane traits as her parents, Kathy (Culver) Weatherspoon, and V illiam Weatherspoon as when they took social economics in 1951. It so happens that Willene v s assigned a report on Patous people of ninteen fifty-one. With a small amount of inherited intelligence she headed toward the library and Who1 s ho. As she thumbed through the C's”, the first name tht caught her eye was Patricia (Buschke) Culver. This was her aunt Patricia. She is famous for her inter-nlanotory exploration she had made on an all out search for the nan she intended to marry. This trip took her as far as Mars, but finding nothing of interest there, decided to come back to earth and is now hapoily married to the red-headed Culver she v as so fond of in 51. She now lives the life of Reily with her six kids. Looking on through the ”D s”, Willene finds Clinton Dalgliesh, great writer and producer of the modem period n American Literature and ormer of two reat studios n the he°rt of New York. His first rreat show on the screen was his ”Dance of the Ripples”, st rinr Alroy Rasmussen and Gloria Manning. Mr. Pasmussen rose to fame because of his ability as a dancer, most famous dance is known as the elastic dance. He develo e'1 this be- cause or his love of geometry, (al 'avs rot l»s from fr. Tl rrerty). Tt renuires one continuous band or elastic and by manipulatin' his body In a form of ballet which ives the appearance of geometric ni urcs as he, a very good dancer, pivots around the sta e. Miss Gloria banning, most courageous of olioc women, co-stars with Rasmussen. She has the lead in this rent mystery show. Dud Lockett, a distinguished political leader in Russia. He was the first political leader in this country to elevate the wo nan shortage, an awful thing for Dud, and to denote all his communistic principals of col- lective sharing. His philosophy is If you have a wife, I have a wife.” Willene has heard her father speak of Don Ruttan and wonderinr if he was given credit for his miraculous invention to take the Place of the sub-way. She turned to the ”R»s”, to look him up and sure enough he was there. It seems that Mr. Ruttan had devised a vacuum tube through which the cars -re propelled at a much 'aster speed and with a surprising drop in cost. Willene copied her notes and closed the book. That night when she arrived home, Willene found that her parents had com any; ' Mrs. Bud Wyler, the former Hae.el Pruitts. It seems that she and her wealthy husband were tak n' a vacation and v eve on their way around the world. Mrs. Wyler had been a model for several years in New York and had married the president of the company.

Mrs. Wyler told of meet nr several of their old classmates. Ono of them, Miss Caryl Hug, a successful business woman. She 5s manarer of a Fit Ri ht” dress show ' nd is still convinced that the s n' le • ny of life Is by far the better. She has definitely decided against narriftge. Nadine (Larson) Hotchel is Miss Hug's favorite des' ner. She studied for two years and is now sought by many largo firms. Mrs. ’Vylcr also told that she had been to Carnegie Mall to Merrill Perry s debut as a concert oianist. Tt seems that in soite of his objections against music, after aradu- ation he studied intensely and is now ''amous for his skill. Willene was very interested in this news because there were all ra- untes of 1951. TTpon looking thro gh her notes she found that she had in- formation cn the entire graduating class of EHS in the year of f51. Mr. Lee was orite nleased with Willene s renort because it brought back to him find memories of his ''irst year as a teacher. We, the °en or class of »51, being of sound mind ana body, feel we should leave some lasting nemor es to the school, teachers and class- mates. With this ever sending thought in mind we do make this last will and testament.
