if 9 iff 'SID 1 ' I 17 ' T' ' I I lib I 4. IR? Y A X X 5 3' 1 l II. 2 .4 It is now the year I977, and Mr. Harris is reclining in his easy chair. Wonder what is on his mind? Roy is reminiscing over the old days at Meridian. l'Il never for- get my last year at M.H.S. ALBERT HERRE surprised us all by popping the question to MURIEL RASMUSSEN. Just yesterday I learned they've added thirteen healthy chil- dren to the Laurel population. After fourteen years of married life, his troubles are still- little ones. Mr. Harris glances through a pile of magazines and picks up his favorite, Time. He is startled when he sees MERLYNN ANDERSON'S picture on the front cover. He turns to the cover page where he reads that Merlynn has gained national recognition for selling one million ham- burgers in one year. After Mr. Harris recovers from that pleasant surprise, he turns to his favorite page, Letters It seems there are more broken-hearted girls in the world today. Here is one from a girl called LAURA MACKENZIE BELLINGAR. She complains that her sailor husband has a girl in every port, and now she is asking for national aid in her battle with the Navy. It appears that there is someone from Meridian un- der every topic. Hemisphere is no exception. CHARLES FEATHERS shipped oFf to Timbuktu because he wanted his own harem. When he sees topic two under Hemi- sphere, Mr. Harris' eyes open in wonder. MARCIA GUD- MUNDSON, while following a career of crime, was cap- tured by JACK MOORE, the tough New York cop. She is now spending her time being the Gun Marm of Alca- traz. SENIOR PROPHECY According to Time, Hollywood has become a draw ing point for many Meridianites. DICK GILDA, the famed Love 'em and Leave 'em Gilda, just won his fourth gold-plated record. Dick spends most of his time at the Mocambo where CAROL RAYMOND is a spicy waitress. In the same club, MEREDITH WITTER plays the piano for LUCILE PRENDERGAST, the leading vocalist, who lures in the gentlemen. What's this? IDA SANDERS has started up a band in Tin Pan Alley using both GERALD MILES Isopranoi and JERRY MANTHEY ialtoi as the star vocalists. Her band contains EUGENE HECOCK, trumpeteer, who has be- come another Satchmo, LORE SHARP, the guy that beats outa steady rhythm on his bongo drums, and MAR- VIN GANSLER, who adds color with his hot violin. Jackie Gleason has added a new attraction to his June Taylor Dancers. She is DOROTHY AUGHE, formerly of Laurel, Washington. Lucky fellow, eh? JEFF GRAN has become another Elvis Presley. Since his debut at the Meridian Carnival, his life is not his own. MARLOW END- ERSBY iust danced into a marvelous career of ballet at the London Theater of Arts. His most requested number is the lead in Swan Lake. As Mr. Harris turns to the next page, an article on Education catches his eye. JACK BOXX had taken over the job of superintendent at Meridian High School. Edu- cation has decidedly improved. LORETTA ARMSTRONG, Jack's favorite teacher, is teaching home economics to M.H.S. students as well as to her six girls. As his eyes scan across the page he sees an Ivory Soap advertisement. Why, it's DALE BIRD, nationally known as 'Bubbles.' Look! Who is sleeping here! MAR- VIN BURGRAFF is pictured demonstrating mattresses for the Love Your Bed Co. High school did him some good after all. It was there he developed his sleeping technique. On the New Books page he is startled to discover that ELINOR MUENSCHER has just written a textbook called Chemistry Made Easy. lt is being recognized by critics all over the world. RON CORRELL has also just fin- ished a book on hunting wild animals in their natural habitat. This promises to be a best seller with photos in full Africolor. IContinued next pagel
