PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '48 On this beautiful June Day of 1960, the former pupils of Miss Smith and Miss Daes gather here at the Grass Creek Evangelical United Breth- ren Church to witness their double wedding. As the time for the ceremony nears, Mr. Wayne Martin, the celebrat- ed concert pianist, seats himself at the piano. Mr. Martin's mother-in- law, Mrs. Lineback, first got him intrested in music. Mr. Arley Tow, noted Metropolitan tenor, is now taking his place beside the piano. His first selection is Always After Dave Price graduated, he went to Purdue and took up garden- ing. He specializes in Bachelor's Buttons, with which he beautifully decorated this church. It is now time for the Processional and Wayne very graciously be- gins Mende1ssohn's Wedding March. The smiling grooms are preceded by the Reverend Lyndal Wilson. Lyndal took up the ministry when Su- sanne refused himg after that, even Sam's Pool Room didn't mean any- thing to him. The bridesmaids and maids of honor are taking their places, and now coming down the aisle are the two flower girls, preceded by the four ring bearers. Making their entrance now are the two brides, they are escorted by their fathers, who will give them in marriage. Following each bride are the train bearers. The flower girls, ring bearers, and the train bear- ers are the children of Mr. and Mrs. William Allen. Mrs. Allen is the former Jeanne Louthain. Jeanne is a practical home-maker and Bill pol- ishes marbles in the marble factory. Phe brides' gowns were designed by Howard Featherstone. He first learned of his ability while doodling in Government class. Now as the ceremony ends, we look around us and see several of the other '48 graduates. First of all, we see Ruth Ann Clingenpeel, who ran for Governor of Indiana in '52, but because of her age, was defeated. We hear that she is getting to be quite a politician. Richard Ridenour and his wife and family are living in Ervin Town- ship on the home place. Well, well! What a surprise. I believe that is Bill Myers walking ahead of me. The last I heard, he was touring the world to see which country has the most beautiful women. We noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Dick Gilbert came in late because they had to fly from St. Louis where Dick is playing with the Browns. Mrs. Gilbert is the former Mary Kay Ford. - Betty White and Ruth Henry are old maids. They give advice to the lovelorn in their very popular magazine, Kiss and Make Up. ' Mary Fisher married Stanley Mynarski soon after she graduated. Her sister-in-law, Norma, owns the Geometric Corset Company, for which Mary designs the corsets. Gene Moore is the last of the guests to greet the brides. He is still looking for the refined girl. It brings back memories to see all of these graduates of '48 again as we-ll as the teachers.

Wayne certainly is a joke, He is full of fun and pep, Although sometimes the rules he broke, In typing he's right in step. Bill, who has the gift of gab, Is with us to the last, But now he ends his high school days With memories of the past. Norma has pushed ahead And still is on her way. Though classmates walk with Weary tread She's with us to this day. We think it is not necessary To tell you who we are, David sure can drive a Ford, He's in it every night. Dick, as Richard is better known, Folks run with all their might. When he comes tearing down the road, A jolly good fellow is he. I'm sure that some day when he's grown, A great success he will be. ArIey's mischievous eyes and grin Will tell you he's full of fun, Smiling at girls he thinks is no sin, So long as his lessons are done. Betty is a quiet lass And doesn't have much to say. She always has her lessons well, By working hard each day. Lyndal is here at last With bright and happy looks, When thinking of the days gone by V Or reading comic books. And so we bid farewell tonight, Teachers, schoolmates, friends, and all Success sends out her glowing light, The future beckons us with a call,
