SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The Riradise Annual banquet of I960 was held at the new brick Baptist Ghurch and was an extreme- ly successful event. To my surprise the class mates of the 1939- 40 senior class were nearly all present, some had never really wondered away from the Shepherd’s fold of paradise. I was chosen to secure informa- tion as to the progress of our classmates. Glancing around, I beheld a beautiful woman, Marilyn Paschali, who had made her home in Paris, Prance. She is very much responsible for our styles of today. On the other side of her, was that famous vice-president, Ray Houston Phillips, you have beer.'reading so much about in the papers lately. He is a candidate for president for the next election. Travis Rav Porter is head of the oil company'that has developed Texas' greatest oil field around Paradise, Texas, he lives in New York City at tho present. Hoyt Kelley, who hr s spent most of his time correcting peoples mistakes is now in Germany, and is one of Hitler s favorites. He, was pro- sent at our banquet with that winning smile of his . Eilr.

suits. The Senior Class of 1S39 presented a very enjoyable program. This was the high light of our junior year. Our senior year has been our be3t year in school. We have had more privileges, which we have used greatly. One of our greatest trips, besides our Carlsbad Trip, has been our trip to the Dallas Fair. We got Senior Day set aside at the fair and we used the great privilege that was given to us. We were the first seniors of Paradise High School to over got to make a trip to Carlsbad Cavern. This was a very educational trip to all of us. For the first time at our school, the senior class, with the assistance of Mr. McClintock, has undertaken the great responsibility of publishing a year-book. This is a very expensive project, but by obtaining advertiserannts from different business firms, we have accomplished our great task. On March 22 and 29 the curtain rose upon the enthusiastic players of our two senior plays Girl-Shy and Hen-peeked Husband . The plays were enjoyed by largo crowds in our auditorium. As we go to press, our most outstanding social event has just taken place--the Juuior- Senior Banquet. With the assistance of the Home- rrhking department, a very enjoyable evening was spent by the juniors and seniors. The Seniors presented the program for the evening. We appreciate the efforts of all of our teachers during our four years in high school. We know that had it not been for their kind assistance during these years, we would not have accomplished what wo have. Y.'e knew that if any of us comes to any great success, it will be credited to the training received at Paradise High School during our high school years.

 aviatress of the plane in which our two stars rode. That is one girl that is attractive any way you look at her whether it be in an aviatress suit or an evening gown. Myrell Harris is a very famous tap dancer, known to her public a9 Jane King. Her eyes seemed to beam with light as she told me she was acting on Broadway. Ellon Paye Kaker has made herself famous by being a great Volley Ball Coach, one that is in demand. She is the volley ball Instructor at the University of California. Oh, yes, that athletic girl I used to know has recently set the woman's record on the race track. People used to call her Lola Pearl Nall, but she is known today as That Lightning Bug”.
