ll QD I-T---ielfllj IE ICAIIQIDII NAIL- GTD CLASS PROPHECY 'Y Ring-a-ling, Ring-a-ling. Hello Norris City. Is that you Joann? This is Fonny. I was wondering where you were. Did you say Mary Jane Spence was working at the switchboard too? Does Betty Lou have a phone? She does. Would you ring her for me, please? Hello, is that you Betty? I just thought I would call you since I am at home visiting. I thought we could discuss what has 'become of our class these last ten years. How is your beauty shop making it? Did you know Carl Dean was married just two weeks after graduation? I saw in the paper where Bernard had made a very famous basketball coach and is back at N. C. H. S. teaching. I guess he liked basketball so well he had to make it his profession. I received a letter from Carolyn last week. She is proprietor of Harper's Meat Market. She said she had some new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Hedger, the former Audra Satterfield. They now have three little opossums running around. Did you say Vearl Lack was crew foreman at Texas Eastern, replacing his futher? And his secretary is Kathleen. I can understand why she doesn't need her Shorthand and can take dictation on the typewriter. Maybe it's because Vearl is so efficient at dictating. Oh, yes, Jack DeLap has gone into research trying to find out who was driving the Mule Train. The next time you are taking a trip toward Enfield, be sure and stop at Hea1y's Munch Mansion, where the former Novella Jones sells candy kisses. Are you planning on going to the Alumni dance at the High School? I heard the music was to be furnished by Philip Veatch's swing band with Sam Wallace as vocalist. Did you say Charley Davis now has his own radio program replacing Red Skelton? I see where Billy Gott is making his profession at culling chickens. We have a new studio in town, owned and operated by June Edwards. Did you say Darroll McArthy is having a grand opening of his skating rink this coming Saturday night? Do they still have a skating teacher every Wednesday night? Did you say Ruel Weas is the instructor now? While I was in Omaha visiting, I saw where Mrs. Nave, the former Ethel Mac Goforth has remodeled what sued to be Eaton's Cafe, and has made it into a Teen Town. Did you know Carl Dixon finally settled down to running the service station which is connected on to the Teen Town, and as his skilled mechanic he has Bobby Walters. While I was in Omaha I met Calvin on the street. He had just returned from one of his big game hunting trips.
