MOTTO: Today we follow, tomorrow we lead COLOR: Red and White FLOWER: Roses CLASS PROPHECY I, Bonnie Nichols, being the one remaining Athena resident of the Class of 1959, have received a per- sonal invitation from Betsy Ketcham, governor-elect of the new State of Hawaii. I am here, reporting on our class reunion and the festivities, for the Athena Press. I have been informed that the reunion is to be held on the Waikiki beach in front of Dave and Donna Myers' grass shack. Since this couple has not done too well financially, Sherry Lieuallen is bringing the refreshments--her new discovery of cham- pagne with GL-70, with which she is going to christen the cornerstone of Hawaii. It's too bad that Donna couldn’t have had her shack remodeled by Jerry Chase, who has taken over Frank Lloyd Wright's position in the world of architecture. There's poor Dan Moore over there. He seems to have gained a few years extra, but who wouldn't, being a missionary in Siberia? Here come the Blom Bros., who have just landed in their new invention, the Jet Kaiser. They gave up the car business after they made their first million. Oh—have you noticed my hair style? It's a Wanda Black original—she’s now the well known Paris hair stylist, designing for the big wheels of France. Dorn Baumeister, who goes by his stage name, Rip Taylor, is having his world premier at one of Kaye Beeks’ chain of Gem Theaters. He is now the new stage idol and the new Clark Gable. Hey, here's Larry Brown, Esq., chief-of-staff of the largest ditch digging organization of the world. I have just finished covering a story for the Pendleton Roundup, where Belva Hoptowit is now director of this program. Why, there's Gordon Elder, the world reknown football fullback for the Adams Grade School Wildcats. One of the outstanding features to be presented at the annexation festival will be a square hula hoop demonstration by Fred Kirk, who invented and is now manufacturing this craze that has swept the world. The new 50 star flag was designed and will be presented to Governor Betsy by Audrea Montee, who has made a career of commercial art. Oh, my, is that Dick Parman with the goggles? He must have been tearing across the beach so fast on his hopped up tricycle that his goggles got glued to his face. Every class has to have a black sheep, I guess, and, as usual, Mary Alice Alderman is up to her old tricks. She is a notorious cattle rustler, and has swiped two prize winning bulls for Judy Hall. She's been performing in Spain as a matador, and needed two bulls for a demonstration in the festivities. Carole York, the modern age Paula Bunyan, was unable to come because she's too busy chopping trees in Oregon. She can chop 6 inches into a mahogany tree with one blow. Carla Hiatt also is unable to attend, because she was caught pulling the fire alarms at McEwen the night of graduation, and has spent the past 20 years in jail. Well, the celebrations are about to begin, so I will sign off to watch Judy Hall fight the bulls.

SENIORS WILL AND PREDICT FUTURE We, the class of 1959 of McEwen High School, being of sound mind and mature judgment, but nearing the end of our corporate entity, wish to leave the benefits of our superior knowledge and experience to those who are trying to follow in our scholarly footsteps. Our memories and intellectual attainments, we will take with us, but we will leave some indi- vidual bequests of our talents and aptitudes where we think they will do the most good. I, Dan Moore, will my red hair to Pat Myrick, who has been trying for a long time to get hers that color. I, Audrea Montee, will my ability to get my folks' car and my safe driving ability to Rolinda Morrison, who hasn't accomplished either. I, Donna Myers, will my ability to pass every Spanish test with flying colors to Nan Coppock, who has real troubles everytime a test is given. I, Dick Parman, will my kindness and generosity, which is exceeded only by my handsomeness and sparkling personality, to Jerry Grimes, who has none of these virtues. I, Sherry Lieuallen, will my daily afternoon Coke to Joyce Ledgerwood, who needs some nour- ishment . I, Larry Brown, will my nicknames, Digger, Dig Dig, Dilver, Mole, and Melvin the Mole, to David Harden, who, by the time he's a senior, will have many more than I. I, Bonnie Nichols, will my ability to drive a truck to Karol Moore who THINKS she can. I, Kaye Beeks, will my ability to chew gum in Home Economics class and not get caught to Sharon Schneider, who has tried, but never succeeded. I, Haroldean Blom, will my cool hairdo and black leather jacket to Bill Beebe, who already has a switchblade. I, Judy Hall, will all my raunchy senior experiences to Rolinda Morrison, who is trying to get hers early. What will she do for excitement when she's a senior? I, Jerry Chase, will my ability to do a swell job managing the football team, to Dave Hesp, who will probably take over this job next year. I, Mary Alice Alderman, willingly will what was willingly willed to me last year at willing time to anyone who will willingly take it. I also will my ability to have my car after school to Barbara Pinkerton, who always has to get the car right home. I, Dorn Baumeister, will my twin pipes to anyone who can afford to pay the fines. I also will the money that Dick Parman owes me to anyone who can collect it. I, Carla Hiatt, will my ability to stay out of school for a legitimate reason to Marla Brown, who doesn’t even care if she has one. I, Belva Hoptowit, will my easy going manner to Janet Johnson, who certainly doesn't need it, and also all my many honors to Jay Moore, who thinks he should have a few honors himself. I, Gordon Elder, will my ability to control my temper during football games to Nick Simpson, who always loses control of himself. I, Betsy Ketcham, will my TGIF hat (Thank Goodness It's Friday) to the McEwen Hi boys, who have worn it more than I have, anyway. I, Wanda Black, will my ability to get my name written all over the walls in the girls' restroom to whoever is doing a continuous job of writing it there. I, Gary Blom, will my size to Denny Widener, so he can be a giant, too. I, Carole York, will my ability to participate in school activities and my selling ability to George Ellis, who certainly needs both.
