X PROPHENCY 1950 The night was May the 15th, 1960. A large crowd had gathered at the Mansker theater ln Paint Creek City, Texas. It seemed the older residents of Paint Creek had all turned out to see screen star, Alice Cox, in her first class 'A' picture. Alice has been in Hollywood playing in western pictures, mostly Hop- Along-Gooberts. But her big chance was the star role in 'Life of a Paint Creek Co-Ed.' Cars were coming at a steady clip, and plans were landing on the field provide for them behind the theater next to the Polo grounds. It seems that after Tom finished Paint Creek, or maybe it would be more correct to say, nearly finishm for lt seems that Tommy Mansker failed to get his book reports in or something Any way Tommy became quite an advocate of Polo and created quite a stir in the Polo world. After buying our Mrs. Medford and building the Mansker theater, he had convinced the Paint Creek School Board that Polo should be offered as part of the high school corriculumg and as a result Tommy has done quite well in general, and in specific too, as they say all six ushers are Manskers. Among the celebrities arriving is a neat young thing in sables. It is under- stood she sets the style for the Paint Creek Social Elect. They say she is reaching the height of her career as executive secretary of the Paint Creek Pioneer Oil Companyg she has definately shown the world that'a woman can make her place in the world. Among other things, she is the first woman Mayor of Paint Creek. Wait! She is removing her Ermine coat for the Photographers. Oh, will, clothes have not changed so much at Paint Creek afterall, for she is still wearing levis and anyone would know her. She is Barbara Watson, 'Queen of Paint Creek Soc1ety.' What is this coming? A big long shiney yellow-jeep. What's this brand painted on the side-R 8 S? I guess the R a S stands for Run and Slide, the way those children are leaving that Jeep. But I understand it stands for the Raughton and Sims ranch and quite a ranch they say. South Texas has its King Ranch but Paint Creek has its R a S. As we understand it, Wanda made quite a name fc herself as a Volley ball player in College and still likes to play volleyball when she finds the time. She stays in shape around the ranch chasing calves and kids. - Here comes a tall young man driving up in a chevrolet sports roadster. What's that tied on the back? Of all things, a chicken coope. Look he,has on spate, overcoat and all the trimmings. It is understood he has done well in the poult business since fineshlng Hardin-Simmons. After playing seven years on the Har- din-Simmons basketball team, all of the pro basketball teams offered him fat contracts, but Bobby Mlckler said, 'Noi' Basketball was his second love but chickens were his first and he was going into the poultry business. Look here comes a group over from the school building. The Home Economics teacher has been having an adult class on how to make your own Hydroelectric plant in your own kitchen, This Homemaking teacher has done much to improve living ln Paint Creek and else where with her new methods of teaching and experiments. Among the greatest being a method to cut gravity off from ybur biscuits so they will rise to the desired height. Who is this Home Economics teacher? Who else but Martha Grand. Well so much for the gathering, lets go see if Screen Star, Alice Cox,can bring down the house in the ' its of a Paint Creek Co-Ed.' We expect Alice can for we have seen her knock holes in the gym floor by simply falling.
