Class Prophecy Well! Well! Look what year it is-1964-the year the Class of '54 re- turns to Mansfield High School. Who is that gray-haired man standing in the corner giving his inter- pretation of Sassy Bones ? Why, that's Bobby Dorsey, our class president. And there's Betty Smith, still counting the Class of '54's money. L' Several housewives are present today, including the former Barbara Ellis, who is managing her home and seven lanky children. Little girl! What are you doing? Oh, that's the former Virginia Seago's little girl. That explains why she's taking the lug bolts from the busses- she doesn't want to go to school. What is this paper? Oh, it's the latest edition of The New York Tribune, of which Dorothy Spears is now editor. I have just been talking to Willie Thomas, president of the Cootie- Removie Hair Oil Company. He tells me that Rodger Ervin has retired, after making a fortune out of his pecan trees. The former Bobbie Sue Raines recently inherited S5,000,000.00. After giving each of her children 30.29 and paying the income tax, she now owes the government 35.03.

Bobby Dan Sitton is now president of a manufacturing company. Thinking only of his business, of course, he supervises all the modeling done in his establishment. What does he manufacture? Nylon blouses! Jackie Odom is a distinguished gentleman farmer, who raises nothing but his hat and plenty of cane. Carol Tanner is widely known for his poems. He has been given the distinguished title of The Man Most Likely to Murder Literature. Suzanne Curry is heard regularly on radio these days. She has taken My Friend Irma's place. Donald J ordan's face is smeared on every TV set, magazine, and billboard these days. Why? Because he's the author of that brand-new best-seller, How a Mouse Can Learn to Carry an Elephant in Ten Easy Lessons. Eddie Jo Garrett has just this year reached his aim in life-to marry Marilyn Monroe. Bernice Waugh is a world famous dermatologist. She guarantees to take away all freckles in ten days. That snoopy fellow meddling around the crowd is Jim Russell. He has taken Jack Webb's place on Dragnet Dum-ta-dum-dum. That man in the top-hat kissing all the babies is Jerry Seeton. He is running for dog-catcher. Herschell Luttrell was not able to come today. It seems he didn't think there was anything wrong with having four wives at the same time. I hear that Barbara Anne Perry is a teacher at last. She quotes Pythag- oras six periods a day. Who is that with all the brushes? Why! That's Sonny Robertson trying to sell his line. Ruth Maxwell is now managing a charm school in New York. Remember Erma Hall, the girl who used to sing at all school functions? She is now professor of hog-calling at A.8aM. Cformer boys' schooll. Who is that distinguished gentleman in black approaching? Oh!- that's Charles Booth! He's the local undertaker now. Lee Overby and Carl Vallier are now co-owners of a pawn shop. That explains why they're appraising everyone's jewelry. Fred Musselwhite, a former M. H. S. football star, is now a famed opera singer. Last but not least in our group tonight is Hazel Patterson, who has changed her name to Rita Rontalbeau in the movie world. - Dorothy Spears
