Senior Class Prophecy DATE: June 1969 SETTING: Right after a reunion of the Class of 1959 CHARACTERS: Mr. Strine, Principal and Miss Easterday, Senior Class Sponsor Mr. Strine: Well, everyone seemed to have a good time, don't you think so Miss Easterday? Miss S: E. S. E. S. E. S. E. S. E. S. E. S. E. S. E. S. Easterday: Yes, I do. It's always rewarding to come to a class reunion and see what some of my former students have done with their lives. The Class of '59 has produced some pretty worth-while people. For instance, several of the class have chosen the medical profession for their life work. Jim Wasserman's dream of becoming a doctor has finally come true and Barbara Cook is his nurse. Vaughn D' Lee Faust is a surgeon at a hospital in Detroit, and Joyce Stoodt and Karen Webber are both Medical Technologists. Dick Akers is now an aeronautical engineer and Bill Archer an electrical engineer. We can certainly be proud of those boys. Three of the girls have followed in our footsteps and become teachers. Maryellen Briggs is an English teacher, Maryann Hass a third grade teacher, and Sandra Barnes a Spanish teacher. Janice Bowman told me that she was thinking seriously of returning to college to become a psychologist, because she likes her job as a social worker so well. Bonnie Boyle said that her new book will soon be published. She promised me an autographed copy. Bob Gundrum sent his regrets that he couldn't be here, but he said his life as a congressman kept him pretty busy. I'll bet he makes a good one. He always was quite a talker. It's too bad Bea Buurma couldn't be here but I guess when you are a missionary in Africa you don't get home much. Jim Hughes tried to sell me a car today. He is owner and manager of Jol1y Jiggs Second Hand Hot Rods . Jerry Martin, Jim Stoops, and Earl Lynch are his salesmen. That J iggs! I think he could sell an Eskimo a refrigerator. Duane Utiss hasn't changed a bit , has he? No, being head football coach at Ohio State keeps him in good condition. Max Caywood is doing real well for himself as president of the Caywood Soup Company . Sue Meiser is his private secretary. Also working for him in the Cleveland Branch is Dorothy Predieri, Mavis Francis in the Dayton Branch, Wanda Alfrey in the Columbus Branch and June Cuppy in the Mansfield Branch. The Class of '59 has a lot of secretaries to its credit. Some more are Tressie Shepherd, Helen Seaman, Evelyn Cole, Olga Mae Compton, Sarah Noble, Shirley Postema, Ruth Heifner, and Norma Wallace. Did Jim Vanderpool tell you about the new recording he made? Yes, he did. He has become a second Elvis Presley. Betty Sprowles owns The Fashion Room, a high priced dress shop in Mansfield and Eva Dick and Holly Carter are her top models. Claude Ousley owns a barber shop and David Johnson and Joe Penrose work for him.
