.. ........ .. .. ..... , -:azz -1: -- -:: :::: :: ---- Ufis fagfs '--'- - ' 'r' 5 f' Senior Activities These Things I See Class Prophecy - By Patsy Wright This little crystal sphere holds all of the past and all of the future. It can reveal the hidden and make known the secret. It can tell you whatever your soul desires to know. I have been asked to search in its magic dep- ths until I discover the future that awaits the members of our class, so soon to take their sep- arate ways and maybe never be reunited. The mist is clearing. A village scene ap- pears. I see a church. The bells are ringing. It is Sunday morning. The people are com- ing to church. I see the minister - fine look- ing man, and by his side walks his wife. Her face is turned away. I cannot see who it. is. They are warmly greeted by their congregation Now she turns. I see her face. It is Lois Yoder. She looks very happy and appears to be an ideal ministeris wife. The scene changes. I see a large airport. A plane has just landed. A group of people are excited over the appearance of the great and foremost novelist, Betty Comer. She is surrounded by literary critics and newspaper reporters. I recognize one of the reporters as Ruth Pope. Ruth always did like excitement and I think she will find plenty of it in news- paper reporting - There is a plane ready to take off for Hong Kong, the site of tl1e next Olymphic meet. Let us see if any of our classmates are going to be Olymphic stars. T do believe I see Jerry Mar- tin and Marvin Shockley boarding that plane. They always were outstanding athletes. I Wonder who that cute little airline hostess is. I do believe it is Phyllis White. I'll bet she takes good care of her passengers! Here comes the pilot and co-pilot now. They look famil- iar, and they should because they are none other than Joe Rockwell, and his capable co- pilot, Wallace Sumner. They are pausing to talk with the mechanics, the one with red hair just couldn't be anyone but Glenn Thomason, and the other is Lloyd Hammond. With these capable men in charge of this plane nothing could go wrong - or could it?? Now the scene shifts to the display room of a large clothing establishment. A fashion show is in progress, the dresses shown are designed by Patsy Wright. As I watch the models strut about the platform, I notice two of them are exceptionally graceful. They are Doris Jean lVlcLanahan and Gail DeMasters. I wonder who else is watching this fashion show. There is. Alice Raber, that new Broadway ac- tress, and with her is Nancy Timmons, her personal manager. With a manager like Nan- cy, Alice will really go places! And beside them is Jane Fisher who is married to a multi- millionaire. She probably is explaining her technique to Nancy and Alice. Now we are in the office of a large estab- lishment. That efficient looking secretary is Charlotte Warner. She has just been voted Secretary of the Year. Here comes her bossg and I do believe that it is Ted Morhart The future is really full of surprises, isn't it? As this scene fades another takes shape. It appears to be a broadcasting room of a rad- lovstation. A young man is crooning into a microphone, and I recognize that voice as Bob Mart1n's. He is the new singing sensation, that the teenagers are wild about. That must be the producer of this pro- gram standing over there waving h1s arms. It can't be, but it is - it's Larry Shanks. A smartly dressed woman is introducing the next program. She is Nancy Kassing. It looks as if a distinguished gentleman is going to make a speech. She introduces him as Senator Stark. If I remember correctly, Stan- ley was always making speeches in class. The mists blot out this scene and now I see two people robbing a bank, here comes a policeman. No, the bandits aren't former class-- mates, but the policeman is, he is Richard, Wagoner. Here come the president of the bank and his bookkeeper. The policeman seems to know the President of the bank and he should because he is Robert Ramey, and his book- keeper is Annetta Hancock. Again the mists close down. Now that things are clear again I see that this is a scene in Hollywood. We are in an office. A woman is talking on the telephone. I recognize the voice as that of Sue Hunter. Evidently she is that new Hol- lywood columnist whom the stars run from! Sue always did get a l.ot of enjoyment out of talking. She is talking to someone by the name of Carolyn. It must be our classmate, Carolyn Hobbs. She and her husband must have settled in Hollywood. Now I see a race track. The race for the Champion of the midget car races is about to start. It looks like John Tevis, Bob Bedsaul and Jerry Wallace are among the ones competing for the title. They always did like to live dan- gerously! As I look at the many spectators gathered to see this exciting event, I recognize Henry Clark, now Manager of Musser's Dry Goods Store and Kelly Warren, Business Manager of the Warren Lawn Mower Service, and Ray Fitzgerel, a typist in the Mechanics Depart- ment at T.W.A. A jet plane zooms overhead doing daring stunts. Now the pilot is writing his name. It is Reed Hough. Now I see a lovely college town. There is a vast crowd in the chapel. A new president of the college is. being inaugurated. It is the first woman president and, of course, it is none other than our studious schoolmate, Peg- gy Simmerman. Now we are attending the Presentation Ceremony of the Award of Homemaker of the Year to Mrs. Clifford Price, known to her classmates as Betty Bailey. Her best friend, Peggy Potter is watching. She is happily married also. The sun sets and the light fades gradually. A purple haze covers everything. The crystal clears and I can see no more. Senior Class Gift On Class Night, May 20, 1957, Robert Ra- mey, in behalf of the Senior Class, presented a sum of money to be used for the purchase of a Cggck for a Bell System, to be placed in the 0 1ce. . The members of the Senior Class of 1957 know that a new clock of this kind is greatly needed and hope it will be appreciated and en- joyed by all.
