Senior f roph ropnecy On a warm afternoon in spring a little boy and his mother were sitting in the living room talking. The little boy wanted to know what happens to people when they get out of school. His mother said “Get me that annual on the desk, and I’ll tell you what happened to the people with whom I went to school. Dot Sovine and Lonnie Allen bought a beautv shop and went into business. They offer themselves as sam- ples of their work. It’s really too bad they are going bankrupt. Marjorie Nuckols has a fine job. She models baby’s clothes. She got peeved and almost quit one day when the manager. Joan Miller, suggested that diapers had been neglected. Thcv took Lulu McConnell off “It Pays To Be Ig- norant” and gave her job to Rosa lea Black. Lulu had to tell jokes to get people to laugh, while all Rosie had to do was laugh herself. Jackie Tucker married Harold and now they are keep- ing the South Pole warm with their love. President Truman heard about Horse” Hill and sent him on a “mission to Moscow.” Eugene has never lost an argument and the President thought we could use him in Russia. Park Spence is running a dispensary. He must still have ambitions for being an undertaker because his motto is “We dispense with everything — dead or alive we’ll bury it.” Norma Brick, Louise Anderson, and Virginia Hendel, who were all interested in good music, formed an opera company which is called the “Horse Opera.” Their latest guest star is Robert Hill who goes by the name of Robertcro Hillinovitch. The foreign-sounding name gives him dignity. Barbara Hoke suffered a turn of misfortune. She figured out what Einstein meant in his theory and now they are trying to decide whether she is sane or insane! Mildred Barnes was chosen “Miss America” at i950. Now she is making movies. Her latest one is opposite Frank Sinatra and her good friend. Jackie Jefferies, is in the same picture. Jackie is a professional dancer now; she has figured out a way to dance without using her feet. She dances on her hands. Difficult and funny looking too. Romona Cochran, Kathleen Escue and Rita Yates really surprised everyone. They joined a circus and became trapeze artists. Thev call themselves “The Thrilling Threesome” and they really thrill the crowds. Paul Janey was superintendent of what was Ohio Apex. Two of his most accomplished chemists were Romie Sergent and Charles Clark, but it seems the bovs mixed up a new chemical and now Ohio Apex is out of commission. John Chapman and Bill Gibson are running a garage. They don’t guarantee any of their work because their star mechanic happens to be Georgia Wandling. John and Bill say she tears them apart fine, but putting the pieces back is different. Joyce Westfall was the first “Lady” Senator from West Virginia. She received world wide fame for her plan “to make the Sunday papers all funny pages.” “People should completely relax on Sunday,” Senator Westfall says. Betty King is really a business woman. Betty is run- ning her own bowling alley and it is the best managed place you’ve ever seen. If anyone gets out of hand Betty takes up the game and bowls him over. She strikes quite often. Bobby Lee and Eileen finally got married and Bobbv Lee became a coach. This year Nitro was “State Basket- ball Champions but it was a little complicated for the Tournament score keeper. Everyone on the team was named Higginbotham and so was the coach. Delores Drake became a cartoonist. Her latest comic strip is called “Heathburt, the Headless Ghost. She never could draw a head horrible enough so she left it off. Norma Ken worthy vowed she would never become a doctor’s wife and since Norma is so stubborn she didn’t. Se made Jimmy become a brick layer instead. Betty Farrari and Maxine Williams bought a western ranch and opened up a summer resort. Their cooking is fine, they're at home on the range—but my gosh! After a day of riding, they cook and eat all their meals standing up. Florence King bought a chewing gum factorv, and manufacturers her own now. She maintains that there is nothing her chewing gum can’t do. It’s a common bond between people and makes them stick together. Bill West is plaving professional football with the Coffin Packers.” Their coach and manager is Harold Rowsey. It’s a new turn in football for the players to explain the plays to the coach but Harold simply can’t understand why the boys play as they do. Thomas Bailev, became president of “United Purified Air Works.” Tommv said that if John L. Lewis could stop all coal supplies, he could stop all air supplies. Some- thing happened to Tommy after he made that statement and we haven’t heard of him since. Tommy Carder, who was so-o-o good looking, became a famous doctor. Right now he is a heart specialist. Delores Miller became an F. B. I. worker. Her work is a big secret but she told me all about it. Her latest case is to break up the “K. K. K.,” Krazv Karacters Klan. of which Kenneth Haves is a ring leader. Betty Magaw is a great Shakespearean actress. Her latest play is “The Conouests of Caesar.” Betty plavs the part of Caesar; she always was the only person who could understand that character. In private life, a very handsome blonde husband reads poetry aloud for her enjoyment. Dick Hutchison became the Solo Clarinetist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. His latest number is “Rhapsody in Blue” and it is really blue. George Tinsley is the owner and operator of all the “Armv and Navy” stores in West Virginia. He thinks he’ll change the name to the “A.N.C.G.M.S.B. and A.C. stores.” (Armv. Navv, Coast Guard, Marines, Sea Bees and Air Corps.) George always was a patriotic person. Keith Painter who was always cutting up has been in the hospital all this time. He was kidding with his barber, Donald King, and really got cut up. Tommv Stalnaker is working for the state. It seems Tommy borrowed a car and the police caught him, so Tommy is beating rocks for the state. Yvonne Kelley was determined to be a nurse, but the sight of blood made her weak so she gave it up and married “Jarbug” instead. Pearl Fox became professor of English at Harvard College. There is only one thing that worries Pearl. ([Continued on Page 47) PAGE TWENTY
