THE REDBIRD SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I sat on my front porch one hot day in July, in 1959, thinking of my days in High School, 1 saw upon the horizon a dark cloud. As the cloud drew nearer, I saw that it was a duststorm. Suddenly a bright idea came to me. I rushed into the house and was back in a few seconds with my Dustpan. The storm came on in earnest. Get to work, Dustpan, I said, and see if you can find some dirt on any of my old F. C. H. S. friends. When the dust storm had subsided, I saw the dustpan coming down the street simply loaded down with dirt. My, I thought, there has certainly been some scandalous happenings in the old gang since I left. I began pulling dirt, and here is what I found! ! ! 1 Roy Davis is the Socialist candidate for the Presidency in the next election. Roy is making a strong fight and he intends to move the capitol to Orient if elected because the roads there are so bad that he would not be able to leave town during the winter. Jane Rose Gasaway is on the same ticket for Vice-President. Her campaign speeches consist mainly of poems composed by her publicity agents, Curran Book and Rex Murphy. An example of the poetry she uses is: A boy stood on a burning deck, talking politics by heck! When you go to the polls on election day, Vote for Davis and Gasaway! Another outstanding event is the non-stop three times around the globe, flight of Kathleen Meagher and Virginia Weilt. Kathleen said it was all an accident; they couldn't stop the plane after the first round. Frank Chismar is teaching football in Madge Murphy's kindergarten and Leon Walton is the new janitor. Two that we can well be proud of are composers of the biggest song hit of all time, Pork and Beans Blues —Lester Bristow and Tommy Graham. George Kolesar and Frances Pavelich eloped, were caught and sent to a children's reform school. Wait! This is terrible! Joe Forgatch and Fred Bedokis have rented a room at San Quentin for the next five years for stealing gum from under the tables of Violet Martin's restaurant. They say that Jim Batts has taken up peanut selling as a hobby along with his pop corn. Ava LeGrand, Emmy Behn, and Muriel McClintock (comediennes) rank high among the celebrities of Hollywood. Ava is now working on her newest talking picture entitled Good Girls Go For Gambling Gangsters. In the world of research we have Dr. Elizabeth Heaton who has just finished a book entitled, My Seven Years of Research in a Nutshell. Reverend Charles Ashby is pastor of the Harlem Cathedral in Chicago. It is said that Charles has such a long face that he has to hire Betty William and Wilma Vittone to hold it up so he won't step on it. Can you guess Martin Petrasik's fate? Well, he is the living skeleton in Charles Saylor's Circus. Bob York, a noted explorer has just returned from a trip to the moon. Earl Smith, the owner of a chain system (of stills) throughout West Virginia and Tennessee, is doing very well. The head of another chain gang is Oscar Nichols. Conrad Holt, Gene Lewis, and Joe Sabolo are his right hand men. Oscar became enraged after some unfair baseball decisions and started an underworld gang to take all umpires for a ride. His slogan is Free Transportation for Umpires. Owen Gill takes care of the umpires when Oscar gets through with them. He is one of the most famous embalmers in the country. Bill Novak and Charles Nolen won new shovels as prizes in a ditch digging WPA Contest. Dita McReaken is running for President of the Ladies' Aid Society. Her helpers are Margaret Hiscox, Cleo Hall and Loraine Epper-heimer. Oh! Horrors! Just as I started to pull out another lump of dirt, along came a strong puff of wind and swept the dustpan clean. What shall I do? I know there was some good juicy scandal left, but I’ll catch them the next time—I hope. OF 19 3 8 ■ !» PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THE PP
