SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY We, the undersigned being empowered with special ability to foretell the future, do hereby prophesy the following event. The year, 1976, November 5, election night, two confirmed bachelor girls, Anita Kurtz and Ruthann Buchanan are seated in their swanky New York apartment awaiting the 1976 presidential election retum on the M H S Television Network. What are they watching? You guessed it! Ruth Legs Leader and Mary Ann Can -Can Parker also featuring Lanky Franky Sterling and Silly Billy Davis in the Crazy Legs Jive Session, the most talked about program on the air. Suddenly the program is interrupted by a news flash. J. Frederick Nigh, the famed news com- mentator, announces from Deweyville where the outcome of the election has just been determined, Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen: The most fantabulous thing has happened. Voters of the U.S. have just elected their first Woman President, Mary Haughn. This miraculous news has stunned her to the point of speechlessness. Her personal secretary, Donald Phillips, will speak for her. Mr. Phillips? Thank you for electing her. This guarantees me a job for the next four years as personal secretary to the newly elected President. I have been authorized to announce the following appointments to madam President's cabinet: Secretary of State - Fred Altstaetterg Secretary of Treasure - Phyllis Rozelleg Secretary of Interplanetary Hot Rod Rockets - Ralph Nigh, Secretary of Army, Navy, and Airforce - Barbara Ewingg Secretary of Health, Education, Welfare and Super Markets - George Franks, Secretary of Cottonpickin' Agriculture - Marvin fTater Bugj Tate, Secretary of Labor - Susie Wade. Further Cabinet appointments will be announced at a later date. This isJ. Frederick Nigh returning you to The Crazy Legs Jive Session, sponsored by the Linda Wagner's- Wobbly Wagon Works. And now speaking for the Wagner's wagon is Kenny fBeansJ Bryan, former All-American center. Ladies and Gentlemen, I always transport my boiled beans in Wagner's Wobbly Wagons. This brings to an end our program for this week. We would like to remind you to tune in next week when our show will headline such world famous acts as: Connie Brickman directing her all-male ukelele band playing their latest smash hit ,'Peg of My 1iver'g Mary Ellen Adams' Talking Chickens, and Gerald Allen, world famous magician, who will attempt the impossible fete of making his vivacious assistant, Brenda Holladay, disappear on this very stage. Next weeks' show will be brought to you by our alternate sponsor, Roger Orwick's Orange Oysters. Suddenly the peacefulness of the bachelor girls' apartment is shattered by a loud rap on the door. Upon opening the door, the girls peered into the eyes of Dizzy Dale Smith, owner and operator of Smith's Special Delivery Service, who handed them a special message from the President of the U.S. With trembling fingers they opened the message and found that they had been invited to a lawn party honoring McComb High School's class of 1958. The girls were delighted to find that they would be transported to the nation's capitol by Sandra Shafer's Supersonic Strato -Cruiser, piloted by ace pilot, Bill Foltz. The announcement also stated that the food would be provided by the nation's finest catering service, J. D. Smith Incorporated. The girls noticed that the entertainment would be furnished by four members of the class of 1958. Just back from a concert tour of Europe the outstanding ladies quartet con- sisting of Bass, Joleen Shank, Alto, Rosie Wasson, Mezzo Soprano, Mary Stoepfelg and Soprano, Rosie Rader. The invitation stated in gold letters that the speaker for the occasion would be Industrial Tycoon and Playboy millionaire, President of General Motors, the highly successful Jackie L. Myers. The big day finally arrived and all members of the class of 1958 were present at the party given in their honor by the President of the U.S. However this prophecy would not be complete without mention of that unsung hero who worked late into the night long after all the guests had disappeared. Bending low with his sharp -pointed stick picking up each bit of paper, we see the lonely figure of Hobson Rader. 19

CLASS HISTCRY Well Seniors, here we are on the threshold of life after four years of happiness starting Fall 1954 and ending Spring 1958. Now, suddenly it's all over, and we find ourselves looking back on these last four wonderful years. In the fall of 1954, 38 inexperienced Freshmen started the year by electing the following officers: President - Roger Orwick, Vice-President - Fred Altstaetter, Secretary -Treasurer - Anita Kurtz, Historian - Mary Haughn, Reporter - Jack Myers. Our Advisor was Mr. White. In October we were sorry to lose Linda Martin and Franklin Sterling, but we were happy to welcome John and Jay Rea to our class. So we still have 38 students in our class. This year we chose as our class colors white and blue and our class flower red carnation. Our motto Forward Ever, Backward Never. As Sophomores we have climbed one more step in school life. There were 36 Sophomores looking forward to selecting flashy and beautiful class rings. We elected the following officers for this school year: President - Roger Orwick, Vice-President - Jack Myers, Secretary - Anita Kurtz, Treasurer - Ruth Leader, Historian - Mary Haughn, Reporter - Rosie Wasson. Our advisor this year was Mr. Schmunk. We were sorry to lose Arden Rader and glad to gain Jerry Smith and Franklin Sterling. As Juniors we began the year with 36 students and elected the following: President - Jack Myers, Vice-President - Roger Orwick, Secretary - Anita Kurtz, Treasurer - Ruth Leader, Reporter -Jerry Smith Historian - Mary Ellen Adams, and our class adivsor Miss Painter. We were sorry to lose Carol Butler, John and Jay Rea, but glad to welcome June Hile, November 2, we presented the play Down To Earth which was enjoyed by all. As money making projects we sold Christmas cards and sold refreshments at some of the ballgames. We were proud of the number of boys that went out for sports. Mary Ellen Adams was elected cheer- leader. In May, we carried on the tradition and entertained the Seniors. At last we climbed our last step. Our Senior year. We began our senior year with 33 students. We were sorry to lose June Hile, Lola Davis, and Ruthann Buchanan. We chose as our class officers: President - Roger Orwick, Vice President - Jack Myers, Secretary - Ruth Leader, and Treasurer - Anita Kurtz. We were honored to have Miss Painter as our class advisor once again. We were proud to have Mary Stoepfel, chosen by the student body, to reign as Homecoming Queen. Early in the year we went to Fostoria, Ohio, to have our class pictures taken and found it to be a memorable occasion. We worked hard this year to finance our class trip. We saved tax stamps, had concessions at the basketball games, and sold Herald subscriptions. Our play Finders Creepers was a success. We found ourselves, all too soon, ending our school career. A banquet by the Juniors on May 17th, Baccalaureate and Commence- ment on May 18th and we were ready on June lst for a glorious, long awaited, trip to Washington and New York. This was the closing of our high school days for the Class of 1958. b 20
