PROPHECY As we look ahead ten years from now we see there has been a change at Jackson. As Mr. Steele feebly sat down and picked up a Jackson Gazette, he saw that some of the Seniors of “49 ' are still at Jackson. It appears that some of the members are also on the faculty: Mrs. Anna Stump--Nee Anna Kramer—is the Home Economics teacher, since Mrs. Carpenter went back to piqua. Jack Livingston is the coach, since Mr. Canfield retired. Bob Snyder has taken over Mr. Stelle’s job as Superintendent. Mr. Steele retired after eight years at Jackson. John Patterson is Agriculture teacher, Mr. Miller decided he would quit as John knew the most about the subject. Dorothy Oda is Chemistry teacher. Miss Brandeberry has quit Jackson and gone back to Bloomdale, Ohio for more training. JoAnn Parks is music teacher, since Miss Habecost is leading a band on the radio. The most surprising of all was Bill Swank’s appointment as president of the Board of Education since his father retired. Mr. and Mrs. William Costello—nee Virginia Amspaugh—are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. They spent the evening with their three children: Regina Kay, Anna Marie, William Robert. Mrs. James Baird—Nee Jane Mae Armstrong—is now keeping house in Greenville. Jim is working at Nestles Creamery bringing home the milk for the three children. Mrs. Kenny Strait—nee Ruth Bateman—is cook at school while Kenny drives the milk route. V Joan Klosterman is now proprietor of her own dancing school in Rossburg. Rossburg is blessed with talented young pupils for her. Kenny Hobbs is now running Maw Shoes. It is rumored that he is doing very well. Professor Noah Swallow is now one of the world’s noted authorities on Shakespe- arean Dramas. Don Rhoades has taken Gene Krupa’s place at the drums and has made several pictures. Ralph Ford is now an Admiral in the United States Navy. We see it took him ten years to make it. 15
