 PROPHECY Hello folks! Here It Is 1978 and many things have happened since that commencement night twenty years ago. I wonder how those young people have made out In this old world? I believe I111 take a stroll down Memories Drive to see. Would you care to Join me? Shirley Lawson finally got Ronald to propose. They spend most of their time fishing in the mountains. Shirley Is pretty good at catch- ing Trout - man's that is. Joan McBride and Roger were married, but Roger has quite a time keeping up with Joan's modeling career. She loves these new bustles. You know how Larry Haas disliked girls, well that is all changed now. He's married and has six of them. They live on the moon where Larry is in charge of space travel. Little Joyce Page accepted seconds once too often. She is now the fat lady of the circus. Kenneth Magers became a millionaire overnight. He found a commer- cial use for cockle burs; he grinds them into meal for chinchillas. Sharon Byerley has replaced 'Bashful Bob' on the Ozark Opery. A talent scout saw her imitate him while we were on Sneak. Marion Stites, Jr. is following in his father's footsteps. His motto: School will run Just as well without me so why go. Grace Bearly is working for the government. She is the only woman test piolt in the world. She is now trying out a new wingless airplane. Theron Millard has taken over the movies. He is presently play- ing the title role In his new production of Shorty . I see Ringling Bros, couldn't find a strong man for their circus so Prances Hahnfeld has volunteered her services. Ira Reed married a basket weaver. They how have enough little 'reeds' to make by hand a hundred baskets a day. Barbara Harold is a court strenographer and also is helping her husband solve the 'Case of the Shrunken Head'. Robert Tyson is the World Champion swimmer. Next week he will attempt to swim the Atlantic Ocean. Kathy Staley took the boys hint when they called her.hat a flying saucer. She is now traveling for Mars - testing reactions on a new type candy bar. Rolland Ball is manufacturing the new Jet stream cars especially for Parkerites, so they won't notice the holes in Linn County's roads. Remember that blonde Evonna Davey, well she has been married seven times. When the new wears off she gets a new man. Keith Baird is Mayor of Little America. His metropolis is ship- ping ice cubes to all parts of the world. Janice Cady's life long ambition has been realized. She is happily married to a large-scale farmer, is the mother of six husky boys, and teaches Judo in a near-by college. Larry Lee is in the Air Force and is stationed in the desert in Africa. It is so much like Kansas he is teaching the natives how to farm in his spare time. Who's that with all those blond-headed kids. Why it's Shirley Byerley. She and Elzia settled their differences and were finally married. Paul Kline has become one of the largest farmers in Eastern Kan- sas. The fact of the matter is he's the Only One. Well, here we are at the end of Memories Drive. That certainly was a long and interesting stroll. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. BY JANICE CADY
