CLASS fROPHECY It is now time to go on a very long trip. So into the future year of '03 we will slip. We will find the talents of these ladies and gents. Very widely scattered, just like their sense. Of course, you know I'm only kidding. So on and on we shall go skidding. And now we come to a stop In front of Janet Wells' decorating shop. As we walk into her place, A l'unny expression comes or. her face. Sne is the best interior decorator, that we have seen. I'm sure you'll agree Janet's decorating is really keen. Around the corner, look who we find, Joyce Gregory, a real nice piece of womankind. She is working as a clerk in the 5 and 10 store. She needs some change, so we hear her roar, Someone come and give me some nickels and dimes, She never yelled like that in school, well—maybe sometimes. Now we see a sign that says, See Bob's Jazz Band at ? !ayes. When we arrive at the spot We know that Bob is on top. Bob's band and chorus are playing fine. We see he's as well-known as Rubensteln. It's Sonny Benjamin we see now. Be is one of the few senior boys not pushing a ptow Re is playing on a team, basketball of course. Sonny is a boy, the rules he does enforce. He is a good player, that we should know. It's getting late now and so we'll go. Well, look who lives in the house with a new style door. Jeanne Thompson, herself, whom we all adore. She's peering through the window to see Who her company may be. She tells of her husband and family of five 'Which has kept Jeanne very much alive. What's this we hear, it's Jack Light With his baseball team full of fight. We knew Jack liked the Dodgers, Now he is the manager of these lodgers. The World Series will now be won By the Dodgers, says Jack in fun. After graduating from school, Wanda Ostrander kept up with the Golden Rule. She went to college and graduated, To become a secretary well educated. She is working hard to attain, A good reputation, not one as a scatterbrain. As we continue on our journey. We find Ruth Kodrlch working for an attorney. To find the papers she has mislaid Is quite a problem without a maid. But she is really very snappy. And she appears to be very happy.
