CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1965 the class of 1948 came back to Kennedale for a home- coming to view the new high school building which had been completed. They were all greeted by the Tenth grade home room teacher of 1948--- Mrs. Buddin, who had previously returned from Brazil. The first to arrive was Henry Boldt, alias (Casey at the bat Boldt), who is now mayor of Mans- field. He is followed by James Gregory who is now running an Extension Ice Business since his father has retired. Raymond Elrod appeared with his wife and five children; although he is very busy, he still finds time to ride his son’s bicycle quite a bit. We were all Surprised to see Dorris Swiney,for she is very slim and must take vitamin pills, but she still blows bubble gum. Loreta Elrod is now married to the soldier she wrote to while She was in the Tenth grade; they are living in California. Raymond Brown is still a bachelor and runs after every girl he sees. (He expects to be married a t the age of ninety-seven.) Verlin Schrader is now pastor of the Kennedale Methodist Church. Three old maids, Lillie Jewel Tatum, Patsy Ruth Brown and Melba June Sudduth, are still together through the years; the three arrived for the home-coming by plane from their summer vaca- tion in Florida. Ohl! yes, if we forgot to mention Jeanette Durfee! She is now married to Verlin Schrader and is choir director for the church. Bitbebih Shih ies hii lis ad =a % i od a Miss.
