CLASS PROPHECY It was a very dreary day and the rain was splashing against the window of the street car chugging down Maple Street. Outside people were hurriedly passing by carrying their um- brellas and darting in and out of each building. Sparks could be seen flying from the street car as it was slowly coming to a stop. At last the car came to a halt and with the utmost wonder and expectation I went forth to see the city, yes, the little city of Heath had really changed. It's funny how ten years could make things so different. I find the population is now 10,000 and the people not at all the same. In a distance I could see the smoke rising from a building that looked familiar. Yes, despite the noticeable change I sud- denly rcalized that it WAS the dear old school we left ten years ago. As I walked in the door, the empty h a l l s seemed to welcome me in their quiet way. Straight to the office I went and there, much to my sur- prise, sat Lindy Lewis who greeted me as I had never been greeted by a principal before. Seeing Lindy behind I the principal's desk, made me wonder about our other classmates. It seemed that Lindy was still familiar with all of them. Why, just a little way down the hall sat Norma Louise, who liked Heath so well she could- n't stay away. She is the Shorthand teacher Qonly she teaches them to talk it instead of write.j Sebrec Allen makes a nice sheriff but jack Hankins frecent jail breakj wishes he would quit trying to arrest him for chicken theft. It wasn't much of a surprise to find Dorris one of Hollywood's leading ladies. She was grad- uated from Pasadena Play House in 1950. She is married for the fifth time to a rich cow handf, In Rhode Island Juyne sings Don't Cry, Baby to little Raymond, while big Raymond goes dancing. Betty June, the strawberry blonde of our class, is singing with the All Time Hit Paraden broad- casting from Russell Building on the Cairo Road. In Florida, William is doing just what wc thought he would-photographer at one of the largest Sc and 10c stores. On the side he directs Y the grade school ryhthm band. ' Sad, but true, Hilton, better known as Bosco, committed suicide because he couldn't think of a joke to make his old lady laugh. Elinor Ruth always wanted to sit on her boss' knee and sheis doing just that for she's secretary to Senator Warren Smith. I didn't think sheyd do it. Merlene now owner of Frog Pond, is kept rather busy with her busi- ness and the three little Froggies. That is, since Elwyn walked out and left her all alone. Having tried so hard to get married, but not having any success, Jo Ann finally decided to settle down in Missouri and be an old maid school teacher. Her dumbest student is the daugh- ter of Gloria McCuan. Gloria has been confined to her bed with a broken nose she received while trying to learn to skate. Marian Jean is still residing in Grahamvillc, and like the old woman who lived in the shoe, Page eighteen

she's got so many children she doesn't know what to do. Some of our class turned out to be very relig- ious.

She and her man can be seen every Saturday when they come to town. The last time she was seen, she and Joe were riding up front on the wagon and the dogs were following along behind eating up the gar- bage that fell off the side of the wagon. They are raising hogs for a living and have to come to town for garbage. Marie Griffin is happily married, too. She has three little red heads. With her temper and their red headed Papa, we bet the kids are good natured. PEGGY SUE MILLER i..ik1...
