TIIE Z E P H Y R SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY “The Future Was A Success For All,” is a book I just received from Miss Beth Miller, the author, telling about the members of her graduating class of 1954. I shall read aloud to you the contents of this book, and if you would like to order a copy, write to, or see the manager, Mr. Robert De-Schepper, 410 South Park Street, Chicago 6, Illinois. Eddie Peterson has taken Hop-Along Cassidys’ place as a television cowboy star. Eddie is quite the guy—in fact he can’t walk down the street without being knocked down because some cute girl is after his autograph again. Betty Verbout and her husband, George Ouart have practically become millionaires on their “We Bottle It, You Drink It” milk business. All their milk comes from the Thompson Dairy Farm in Wisconsin. If any one happens to be going to Wisconsin stop and see the big farm Thelbert has, and also his family of five sons and three daughters. Now comes the most breath-taking part of the book! Teddy Folger has just finished making his Rocket 48 and is set to take a trip to the moon, when his wife tries to stop him, but it is to late—Ted is off! Ted had many exciting adventures on his trip which you will find very interesting to read. Lila Junis has finished college and is teaching in Arkansas, Kansas. She is really surprised when she finds she has one of Arliss Sharer’s children as a student. Arliss’s name now is Mrs. John Roaster. Lila went to see Arliss—they had a good visit and Arliss told Lila about the big job she has as secretary for the Kansas Paper Publishing Company. In this chapter of the book, we adventure into the wilderness of the darkest parts of Africa, where we find Joan Krahn and her husband as a team of “Native Snake Charm Dancers.” They are waiting for an opportunity to join the largest circus in the world—“The Tin Buck Two.” In reading this book, I see we have another author in our class, Mr. William Studley, who was always the mystery solver of our class during the days at N.H.S. He is not only solving mysteries now, but writing mystery stories. The greatest one published is, “Murder in the Dark,” written in play form. This play has been staged in many great theaters. Mrs. Harold Roush, the former Ruth Croegaert, takes the leading role in the play. Harold and Ruth have a family of three and Harold is hoping they won’t grow up to be movie actors! Joyce Lyford has just been named the Fashion Woman of the year. She has her own little fashion shop on Broadway in New York City. Her greatest showing today are “Fly Kite Skirts and Reptile Sweaters.” The sign outside her shop reads “Come in and get a bargain, one skirt only $25.00.” In the closing chapter of this book we see that Pat Golby has finally put the little town of Neponset on the map. Pat is very ambitious; she has built and organized “The Golby Old Maid Home.” We see that business is thriving more and more. The Home is the largest of its kind in America. The critics have not seen Miss Miller’s book, but you can be sure that a book of this type will be the greatest ever published! This page sponsored by 19 Neponset Farmers and Grain Elevator Neponset
