PROPHECY Here we are in the 1988, in the respective communities of the graduating class of 1968. LINDA BOOTS finished her 4 years of college with a degree in Home economics, and is now making a fine home for her husband Commander James Wilson. GARY COOP, who was always the shy one of our Senior class, is now a very aggressive door-to-door salesman. KAY CORNETT enlisted in the WAF shortly after graduation and was the first woman to ever achieve the rank of “general.” DIANNA DUMCUM is a fashion designer and designs all of Sophia Loren’s gowns, wishing that SHE could wear them. J. C. HAAS and ALLEN KEHL have joined forces and are starring as twins in the new television series, “Dou- ble Trouble.” ROLLEEN HAMPTON is now happily married and is the head cook at the Red Crown Inn at Red Oak, Iowa. RAY HODGSON is now a top recording star and has just sold a million copies of his latest album, “Down the Muddy Maris de Cygne.” CONNIE HOLDERMAN is now a fashion model in Paris, France. She flies back to the states every weekend to visit her husband, FREEMAN THOMAS who works at NASA designing missiles for the space program. CHARLES KERR is head Vo-Ag. teacher at U.S.D. No. 362. He stepped into the shoes of Gary Harvey after Gary was drafted into the Army. MONTE MAHAN, better known as “Farmer”, is just that. He’s the first man in Linn County to have a “push- button” farm. JIM MORRISON has just returned from the service. He thought he’d make a career of it, but thought twenty years was long enough. KELLY NICKELL is the world’s most famous mechanic. He really put Goodrich on the map!! KENNETH NICKELL, one of the best dressed boys in our class, now has his own factory. He specializes in women’s clothing—especially bikinis. PHYLLIS OSBORN is still working at the same job she had after graduation. Is it the job? Or could it be the boss? CHARLOTTE QUERRY, the “mod” girl of our class, is now a go-go girl at Eastwood’s Hideaway. GLENDA RICHARDSON is now a plastic surgeon. Her specialization is noses. I wonder if she has had her’s fixed? FLOYD STITES, another quiet one in the class, has become another Frank Sinatra. He’s now on his fifth wife. GARY WALKER, the last but not the least, is well on his way to success. He’s in Japan running his own Tea House. How’s the Geisha girls, Gary? Aren’t you glad that the members of our class are happy in their life’s work? By Rolleen Hampton

WILL We, the Graduating class of 1968, swearing to be of sound mind and body, here-by present this last will and testament, witnessed by parents, teachers, and friends. We leave the entire student body the many remembrances of the most wonderful class to ever trod the halls of our dear school, our ability to get things accomplished at the very last minute, our willingness to learn along with our ever presence in class, and the gentle guidance we have given to the underclassmen at all times. We leave the faculty the unique rememberance of the most respectful, attentive, and enthusiastic group they have ever had the pleasure of being affiliated with. We give the faculty permission to use us as prime examples of the ideal and perfect students to the students who follow. Linda Boots leaves her bottle of “Summer Blonde” bleach to Mary McDougal so she too can have long blonde hair. Gary Coop wills a few extra inches of unneeded height to Raymond Cornett in hopes Raymond will lead our basketball team to an undefeated season. Kay Cornett leaves her ability to run around the halls of P.H.S. and not get caught to Rita Boots. Dianna Dumcum wills her masculine build to next year’s football team. J. C. Haas wills his mag wheels to Mike Eastwood for reasons not mentionable at the present. Rolleen Hampton leaves her outgoing personality to Karen Pulhamus in hopes she puts it to good use. Ray Hodgson wills his ability to stay healthy in football, especially his knees, to John Harvey. Connie Holderman wills her boisterious sneeze to Patty Whalen. Allen Kehl leaves his Playboy pin-ups to Mr. Perry. Charles Kerr wills his public speaking ability to Larry McNabb in hopes Larry will use it when he campaigns for President of the United States. Monte Mahan wills his pool shooting and car driving ability to Mr. Trask. Jim Morrison wills his ability to run the hundred yard dash to Ricky Dutcher. Kelly Nickell wills his common sense to Mr. Perry and leaves his can of skoal to Mr. Harvey. Kenneth Nickell wills his ability to gain weight to Juanita Wilcox. Phyllis Osborn wills her Monday morning good cheer to the entire student body and faculty. Charlotte Querry wills her ability to get along with the LaCygne boys to the Parker boys. Glenda Richardson leaves her head cheerleading experience to next year’s head cheerleader Karen Pulhamus. Floyd Stites leaves his ability to get along with Flora Mauk to Terry Outler. Freeman Thomas wills his unique study habits to Janie Cook. Gary Walker leaves his good looks, muscular body, blond hair, red socks, new car, way with women, and his football and basketball ability to Nick Cornett. So ends the will. 13 By Charles Kerr
