SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Time -- 1959. Place-- Jackson Center I'm the guy they call Father Time. I've been having a hard time keeping up with those 1949 seniors. It seems they are scattered to the far corners of the earth. But still close to Jackson is the young man named Frank Latendress Lyle Millard Barker. I-Ie's still hanging on to his name. Besides he has made quite a name for himself in the farming world. Right now he's sitting on his front porch with his dog at his feet, pushing buttons to run those three tractors he now owns. His little wife, Frances Colleen Slusher, kept her promise to so- ciety and is the typical farmer's wife she always hoped to be. She also made some of Mrs. Darrow's dreams come true. From September until the last of May, she occupies the position as primary teacher at Jackson Center School. John Hoover liked Washington D. C. so much that he decided to return there to live. He is the President's confidential commedian. It certainly is a wonder- ful job for John. Right here, I think, that we should pay our due respects to the president. He was such a good class president for three years that the forty- niners decided to make him master of the land. Nice going President Beavans. Not so far away we see a young lady in white keeping an eye peeled for a good looking intern. People now call this young lady, Nurse Maddox. She is still keeping house with Donna Buckland. They won't tell us who the lucky one is going to be. Jacqueline Stroup's dreams of going to Switzerland came true only it isn't a permanent residence. She travels on an ocean liner as a dietition. She told me the other day that she ran into Bill Myers on one of her stops in England. Bill is in competition with the King's jester. Donna Booher crashed Hollywood with her beautiful legs. Betty Grable takes a back seat now days. Joan Barnes is also among the top performers. She is doing a wonderful job as a ballet dancer. Normagene Murray, who became a student at Ball State Teachers College was graduated cum laude in 1953. She is now principal of Central High School in South Bend. Do not be surprised if one day she is president of the N.E.A. Bud Lee is still riding around on his brother's motorcycle. I guess it starts a little easier than it did back in '49. Doris Lawrence is still typing away at her secretarial position at Fort Wayne with a large business concern. O Q9 s 1 ' 'S x ,Q- XX ' , ' Q 9 ' ' t r - U . N 'J' L 5 3 hw - sr' :-. en v- 2,2 . f f .

SENIOR POEM Next on the roll we will call Frank Barker, a friend to all. To all of us he's brought some cheer, We will never forget him in coming years. Next comes Donna Booher so pretty and sweet She's always dressed so trim and neat, We've known her long as a wonderful friend And we pray that friendship will never end. The romeo of the Senior Class, Is John Hoover dashing and fast Although he's new these last three years He's made friends galore and we think he's a dear. Bill Myers is next on the role, With a smile and laugh that's good for your soul With jokes and wit that makes us all laugh, Our memories of him will always last. A new member of our class this year Is Joan Barnes, who brought along some cheer, We've learned to know her as a friend And we'd be sorry to see that friendship end. Next we see come into view, Esther Maddox, a friend who's true She has a smile for everyone, Her happy disposition is surpassed by none. Normagene Murray, next on our list Small and blonde, she'd really be missed With a happy smile for everyone She's a very good friend and lots of fun. Now this poem comes to an end A poem of happiness and many friends But now we leave them all behind, Knowing our school days are the happiest we'11 find. l 3 Meet the class of '49 To Jackson High they've not been a jinx, But now they're leaving the dear old school, To find in life their realm to rule. First upon our scholar's role. Comes Jackie Stroup, whose wit is full. She's the master mind of our dear class, For a better friend, you could not ask. Donna Buckland, jolly and bold, Comes next upon our Senior role, At everything she's learned to smile, And make this life seem more worth while. Then comes Colleen Slusher into view, With a smile for me and a smile for you, Each day's a little brighter still, Because of a word from her of good will. Small but forceful Doris Lawrence Comes next upon our scholar's role, Our class just wouldn't be complete, Without Doris, so friendly and sweet. Next is our president, Burlin Beavans In working for our class he rates above all, He's handsome, intelligent and very wise For any girl he'd make a Prize. Blonde and goodlooking is this one, His name is Lawson Lee. I-le's a wonderful member of our class, His friendliness makes trouble days go fast.
