CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 'thirty-six' To the Rural High' of Parker We boys and girls nusdzering fifty-three, Who wished to make a marker,' Came, timidly and Ohl so green. But hoping for the best, We all joined hands with our sponsors Deciding to conquer the rest. And soon the green began to vanishg We brightened a shade or so, Until we looked like more than Just freshies in a row. Forty-six of our fifty-three classmates Returned for the sophomore year, And for the seven whc'd gone elsewhere We shed a silent tear. The class leaders were strong and determined To keep us all on top, And said if we failed in our mission They might be blamed for the flop. We now as Sophomorss felt strongerg We were gaining a step each day, We had conquered the freehie weakness And were well on our Junior way. Thirty-four of our forty-six Came back in our Jxmior year, But most of those who left us In other schools did appear. Oh, how we worked as Juniors With parties, banquets and playsl We had to sake the dollars count In the good old Junior days. These days, they passed by quicklyg Too quickly did they pass, For well we knew in another year 'Twould be good-bye to our Senior Clase But now as Seniors brave and strong We stand for all that's rightg We've reached our goals, gained victory, Attalned our 'Senior' height. We each must make a mrk in lifes We're fitted for the best. We can not quitg we must go ong We've passed the Parker test. It's a sad good-bye to our classmtes, To the teachers one and all, We now must reach a higher goal We can not, will not fall. CLASS PROPHECY I awokeg before sv eyes were strange gray walls. I blinked once--I thought I saw a tall, dark, handsome doctor. I blinked a second time and to nw amazement I found it to be one of my old school chums, Eugene Prentice. I asked him where I was. He told me I was in a hospital, but I couldn't remember coming there. He then told me that when I was returning from the commencement of 1940 an accident occurred in which I was badly injured. I had been in this hospital ever since. The present year was 1965. We started talking about our school days together. He told me what he had been doing since graduation in 1940. I began to wonder what had happened to the rest of my classmates and this is what he told me: Charles Brown still lives in Centerville and ovms the world's largest dairy. Phyllis Bohnert holds the world's typing speed record and is a model of stenographers. C.W. Campbell has replaced his father at the Centerville Pumping Station. Roy Collins finished his course in aviation and is now a handsome pilot on the TWA lines. Gerald lhvey is an all American football star. He is captain of the Rose Bowl League. Loraine Dill went to Africa to run for president. He may look up his family tree while there. Velda Ellis ,who liked married life better than school life ,is living on a farm west of Parker. Eleanor Funk graduated from college and is teaching Hathenatios and English in Parker High. Veta Haas tiring of the name Haas, mrried and is now living in Kansas City. Fred Harvey, who liked the cows and chickens, is now Secretary of Agriculture at Washington. Amy Huffman is an air stewardese on the min air lines frm Parker to Chicago. Ihyne Holdermn is still too ssnll to leave his fathergbut under the circumstances he is doing very well and is still able to take care of himself. Herman Keitel has joined the navy and is seeing the world. His favorite stopping place is the Hawaiian Islands and his favorite stepping place the lower deck. Duane Lansrath, who was called Wh:Lmpy is rmmning a hamburger stand in every county fair. Fred lee is still at Parker High School taking American History. He is somewhat improvedg his average is in the A class now and he .says he can repeat all the dates. Neyea llaurer was a private secretary, but she didn't like the idea of being boseed. She marr- ied her boss and now she is the boss of the bosses. Roberta Hurdock,who always wanted to be a nurse, is working in a Bosp:ltal for all Pet Animals' in one of the large eastern cities. She reports that sox of the patients recover. We can hear Doris Payne any time of day. She sings with Kay Kyser and his orchestra. Clayton Povenmire is very happy staying at home minding Junior while his wife teaches a near by country school. He thinks minding Junior' and baking cakes is more than a man's job. Jacquelyn Qaaintence has gone through college and is back at old P.R.H.S. teaching Home Eoc- ncmioe. She started in where lies Hunter left off. Strange! She reports no flunks. Carolyn Saunders is a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital. Sue especially likes the young internes. Paul Smiths:-an is at Centerville. He has become famous for his knowledge of dog training. James Thompson is still living at Parker. He is an old Bachelor. Clarence Traul, who always liked agrlculture,though the poorest in the class ,is back at Parker teaching Vocational Agriculture. llerle Webb is taking a post graduate course from him. Veda Wineland, who after finishing Art School, is back to her old home town designing dresses for the well known Vogue Shop, Laura Scruggs Inc. Darlene Wright is a private sec. at the state building. She says she has a handsome employer. Christine Wooten still has her eat and parrot. She is a typical old maid school teacher. Pauline Giffin is the owner of a large nursery at Centervil1e.She has a large variety of trees and each year she adds another to her collection. I was amazed to hear that all my classnmtes had been so successful. There seemed to be coming before my eyes a thin veil as though a cloud was passing.I blinked my eyes but the veil only became darker. I sank wearily back on my pillow, happy to hear of lv classmates once again. Geathsrld Y 9
