Senior Class Prophecy On this sixth day of February 1952, I do hereby with a half sound mind prophesy the future of my classmates. As I gaze in- to my crystal ball, and with the power of a fortune teller falling upon me, I see the breaking of another year February 6, 1962. We are all invited to the home of Mrs. Norma Boyd who is at the present time living in Paris, France. We were all excited to see what had become of all our classmates. Earline Thurmon, who assumes her maiden name as a great singing star flew in from Hollywood leaving her husband, Mr. Bittle, back home to take care of their daughter who is now two. From the other coast flew Miss Kay Looman who gave up marriage to keep on her great career of modeling in New York. Miss Eva Myers received a ten hour pass from the WAVES to be with us at this reunion. She too has given up marriage for a career. She told us of her won- derful travels. Tony Simon and Bill Watkins were already in France with their wives and fam- ilies. Tony as engineer and Bill as his assistant, had just finished building a bridge from the U. S. across the ocean to France. Teddy Rausch and Howard Hall both arrived late of course, but we excused them when we found out they had just captured a whale bare handed,---it being the largest one ever captured. Going on around the ballroom, Homer Copenhaver and his little French bride and 1 almost had a collision. He was all breathless as he told me he had just rushed here after their wedding. Homer said they could not postpone the wedding because it had been set for seven years. To my left I see Myra Seymour, famous de- signer and model of Paris evening gowns. Myra just told me that she was giving up her career for marri- age in June. Of course all of us couldn’t be that famous in careers, but I see a few have been famous in married life. Mrs. Marilyn Alhorn after two years of teaching grade school children, married and moved to Florida, where they are raising their two children Bruce and Linda. Evelyn Knight Long and Rosalie Fuelling Vanderpool both majored in Home Economics and are now putting it into good use in married life. Rosalie lives on a farm near her own graduation place Meredosia, Illinois. Evelyn waited on Donald to get back from service and is now raising her family on a ranch out West. Beulah Schmitz and Marcia Preston both have a look of com- plete happiness. They say it’s wonderful being married to captains of boats so that they can travel on the water when they like. They both agree their children love the water. Millie after working nine years as a secretary and playing the field, decided her boss was the one and only and married him last June. They stopped here taking several hours off from their honeymoon. Marcella Davies sent her regrets for not being able to attend but her work with Moores’ Detective Office kept her occupied on a murder case. Melba Lacey seemed to be in a hurry to get back to Africa where Winston is stationed. She seems to be having quite a time with the twins Donnie and Connie. “What, a long distance call for me? I’m wanted for a special operation back in Dayton, Ohio? I’ll be there if I can get Tony Simon to get my rocket started. I'll be there in 10 minutes. I’m sorry this ends our reunion, but I’ll tell you what, you’re all invited to a wedding be- tween a nurse and a doctor in June. Be seeing you all there. Bye.” Joyce Vortman Class Prophets Norma Tweedy Kay Looman
