.. The Heiskehte .. PROPHECY lt was a very hot day in late July, the year isn't really important, so we'll just forget about it. Our scene is the front porch of a cabin in the Kentucky Moun- tains. The characters are two members of the Hagerstown High School. You ask how they got here? They'd like to know the same thing! Oh, you want to know who they areg well, let me see nowhl think if we take a closer look, or if we whistled maybe theyid turn around and give us a smile. There, you see, one of them is Bob Earley and the other? Of course, Libby Krebs. They seem to be in earnest conversation about some matterg perhaps if we moved a little closer we could hear them. Shall we? Say, Li-b, ipeers' to me thu last time I see'd Betty and Dick Myers was et the Prom in 1946. Wander w'at they bin doin! They was a cute couplef' Yea, I 'mem-ber 'em. As matter a fact, I wander wa't happened to all thu kids in thut class. Well, some of em turned out purty good I hear. Let's see now, they was them four dang gals that wanted to be actresses er sumpthin. Seems as how they are all good uns at that. Them was Mable Fentress, Betty Jane Bupp, Carrie Brewer, and Dorothy Williams. And them thar farmin boys has done a swell job a lixin up the land over the country. Bow Sowers, Bill Ricketts, Dale Bink- ley, Bob Baer, Leon Michael, Ralph McCauley, and Richard Rice is thu ones I mean. Course Bill Calhoun, too, but the Navy and jean got hold o' him. I heer'd from Jeanne Hull the other day 'n she say'd thet she, Albert Werk- ing, Charlotte Miller, and Franklin Stanley has used their knowledge of math to the bestest use by goin' into some field ol accountinl Then Betty Bittinger went into some kind of Advertisin' and they say she is doin' line. It thet so, allers know thet thet gal would be good someday. Betty Mar- tin is a real good airy plane hostess and Bob Rohrer, Sarah Bolser and Bob Wolf- kill are airy plane drivers. And Bill Robertson, Jake Shirey and Red Sellman is beg Arch-Archi-whal buildin designers. Whew, I gotta stop an git my breath. Yea, I think its about time you let me talk, cause I got some news: jean DeVore, Barbara Kanaga, Billie Fleigh and Doris Gossard are real line picther drawers. john McMurtree, Charles Dashnaw, and Bob Bitner are workin fer DuPont in some sert o chemistry.

Charles Mobley and Doris Houser told me thet they took pictures of Hillary Henson and Vivian Deeds-the great world travelers fer their papers. Renate Hoke just came back from South America where she trans- lated some medical books fer thu guv'm't, her dog was taken ill on thu way an, she had ta call Jack Loudenslager, Jr., the Veter-a amimule doc! I also see'd in the paper thut Betty Roane, Martha Gerberic, Caroline Myers, Joyce Shilling, Peggy Keiffer, Dutch'l Harrison, Louise Boward, Frances Patton, J, Miller, Susan Warrenfeltz, Gloria Riley, and Jean Ritter all have grad-i-a-te'd from the hors- pital.

Mary Edelman is teachinl music, Garl Bateman, Lois Badgley, Tom Wade and Don Lighter are all musicians. An' take Peggy Troupe, she can cut a Egger on skate like no body's business. Then there was them kids thet wanted te be teachers: Corrine Hendrickson, Carolyn Patterson, Bette McDonough, Ruth Glass, and Betty Jane Whipp. Betty is teachin' dancin' to thu little ,uns in town. By the way, Bob, did ya know thet Eddie Raskin is in his own Synagogue now? Caroline Olson is the orglnist et thu church whar Janice Welsh an her min- ister husband are keepin thinls movin over to thu church. Rosalie Bovey is doin' a splendid job o' keepin' thu kids of thu congregation in thu right pathf' Yea, and them fellers that wanted to be engineers. They was Milton Heck, Joe Shank, Raymond Poffenberger, Charles Houpt, Erston Newcomer, Bob Wright, Bill Green, Bob Matthews, Bob Long, Joe McDaniels, Lewis James, and Art Per- kins. What about LaVerne Colbert? She wanter ta be a sec-re-tary, didnlt she? That's right, I wander if she married Peck. And then there was June Lyday. She wanted to go ta trainin' ifln Johnny or Red didn't hook her fust. You know, I'm glad I cou'd live to see sech a swell bunch a kids git wat they want'd from life. As we leave them the sun is settin' on the happiest kids from HAGERSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL. 19
