PROPHECY Nine Little Students and Then There Were None In the year 1948 the graduates of Parker High School agreed to meet ten years hence in the same building from which they set out into the world to conquer or be conquered. So gather around friend or foe, and listen as The Voice of Time tells tales of success and woe. The Voice of Time speaks on the evening of May 23, 1958, Parker, Arizona. George Washington Campbell Jr., president of the Senior Class of 48 won his place in the hearts of all Arizona when he was elected governor. Good luck, Georgie; we are proud to have been one of your classmates and you can count on our votes in future elections. Donna Erwin Scott: After winning several beauty trophies and pro- claimed State Copper ueen, retired from the limelight to the role of Mrs. Scott becoming the number one housewife of the year. Donna is now compiling a book of' household hints and time-saving devices. Charles Martin Jr.: Is perhaps better known internationally as Dorian Grey, screen actor and social play bov who achieved fame and an academy award for his magnificent performance in The Sheik . The greatest lover since Valentino who has been linked with several screen beauties and debutantes, is as yet unmarriea. Marguerite Dupree: The French beauty who useu to sharpen her eraser and answer the door when her typewriter bell rang finally became Dean of women at Vassar and is planning marriage to an up and coming young lawyer. Congratulations, MickeyI

Neil Smith: Formerly a sensational ballet dancer who was sen- tenced to Florence for the crime of bigamy, escaped last night to attend the class reunion. Before Neil had time to tell of his experiences in the state can, a group of. state officers came and took him away. He kept his promises to his classmates if not his wives. Teddy Maxcy: after completing his course at Tempe with flying colors became affectionately known as Ted Max, sports commentator of K.T.A.R. Listening to Ted is a weekly highlight for us. The ever-popular Ted took the vows of Matrimony for the fifth time recently. It appears Tommy Mansville has a little competition. Joan Bailey: The girl voted most likely to succeed served as a nurse in European war-torn countries, returning to Arizona last fall before her marriage to the Prime Minister of England. lieil White: Is residing in Parker after receiving an honorary degree in Civil Engineering from the U of A. Already an executive, the former Casanova of NYCBHS now spends his time building bridges and winning the affections of wealthy old spinsters. His most recent work is the new Parker subway. Charles Wilson: Charlev has taught English in NYCUBS and is currently coaching the Broncs to win all games played. His wife and nine children reside in Parker. Two sets are twins.'I After the speeches were finished and the gala reunion drew to a close, the graduates of 48 regretfully said their adieus and parted once again, each going his respective way. They all agreed that nothing is really more fun than your high school days with its frolics, ditch days, tacky days, and dances ana many others which we often recalled with fond memories. P.S. Any similarity of the above places, persons, or things living or dead is purely co-incidental, and is an unfor iveable error and for this reason should not be taken too seriously by anyone con- cerned.
