Witnessed by: George Gobel Pat Boone Prince Rainier Grace Kelly Senior Prophecy Going through my fan mail after my radio program, I ran across a name that sounded familiar. It was a name of one of my classmates, Donna Lyles. She said, while on tour with her women's olympic team, she caught my program. With Donna as their manager, they are sure to win top honors. Donna was the only Senior of '56 to be on the basketball team. Seems like she just couldn't quit athletics. Whenl got home I flopped down on the couch and fell sound asleep. Right in the middle of a beautiful dream, 1 was awakened by a loud noise. The children had come home from school, and turned on the television set. A man was telling about the great new invention of Jack Van Vleet. Iack's invention is a new theory for working algebraic problems. He was always the mathematical genius of our class and he must have felt sorry for some of the others like me who couldn't even figure out what 'x' equaled. fThis new invention should eliminate a lot of headaches that kids used to have along about six-weeks test time.j About then my husband came home. On the way home he had stopped in at a drug store to get some aspirin and met a very amusing woman. She was trying to cor- al ten screaming little monsters and at the same time order some medicine for her throat. She was hoarse, as always,and the poor druggist couldn't hear her for all the noise. They finally went into a quiet room and started all over again. Since my hus- band is also from Prescott, he thought she looked familiar and asked her name. She told him Carol Foster. Then he remembered she was a former classmate of mine, Carol McCarty. She and Ken got married right after school was out and started raising their family. They are only in New York for a short time as Kenney is traveling around the country trying to find someone to finance his new invention of an atomic chicken incubator. That night after supper I began to think of the other school friends I had forgotten. One girl that stands out in my memory is Ida Dueling. She loved to pester people. I had heard the day before that she had started a foundation for sick teachers in Califor- nia. It seems she felt sorry for all the teachers she had given headaches while in school. She had always wanted to be a nurse's aide. so she started this institution. From all reports, business is thriving. Janice West, another '56 Senior, told me there were three Prescott teachers there for a rest, when she was visiting Ida. They were: Mr. Danner, Mr. Kiser, and Mr. Miller. I think it was only a coincidence that these three had Senior classes! ! ! Speaking of Janice West, she is now a very successful Powers Model. She poses for advertising of Muriel Cigars. She came to see me last week and told me what she had heard from Rosalie Rychnovsky. Rosie is doing very well in her position as a women's labor union leader. Right now they are on strike and Rosalie's picture is on the front page of every big newspaper in the country. They're striking for shorter hours higher pay, and more coffee breaks. Stay with it Rosie, we women can't be pushed around. As I picked up a comic book from off the floor, I thumbed through it. Towards the back I noticed a page that had a love lorn column on it. The letters were ad- dressed to a Dear Mel. I read the fine print at the bottom of the page and found out that Mel was Melvin Birt. As most of the Seniors knew, Melvin was pretty good at writing anonymous letters while in school, and it seems that he put his tal- ent to very good use. A new show in New York now is P.H.S. 's new spectacular, Gentlemen Prefer Women. It is a big contender for the Academy Award for best acting and best movie of the year. Jerry Leach and Phyllis Blazek are the stars. They both have very promising careers. Of course Phyllis Blazek has changed her name: it is now Fifi La Tulle. Jerry is still a bachelor but every movie magazine I pick up I see him with some pretty starlet on his arm. Jerry Haigler just came back from making an extensive survey of foreign gov- ernments. Whenl read this, I thought Mr. Miller. our government teacher, would like to have known it. Jake has just been appointed Secretary of Defense of the Army. He and President Eisenhower have been close friends for years. I heard a commercial on the radio, advertising treatments at a beauty salon. The name of it was Nila's. She has beauty salons all over the country. She claims to be able to redo the entire personality. Her slogan is, Come in when you're 40, leave looking 20. Upon hearing of a new TV program on Saturday night, I decided to watch the Page sponsor -- BROWN'S PRODUCE, Corning Iowa show. When the name of the show flashed across the screen, I almost jumped out of my chair. The show was called the Ronnie Looney's Show. After the first shock was over we enjoyed Ronnie's show immensely. He is a great comedian. His guest star was George Gobel, the man who gave Ronnie his start in show business. Then the show's, vocalist came out to sing a couple of numbers. She wore a green satin gown and a white mink. I didn't recognize her until they showed a close-up of her. It was Mari- ilyn Shinkle. She was singing a blues song and with Marilyn singing it, it sounded good Well, I guess that's all the Seniors of '56, but myself. My life-long ambition was to sing with a band. So after school I went to New York and got a job singing in Club 21. I met my husband there. He owned several radio companies. After that we were married, and put on a radio show of our own. It's been fun meeting my classmates again after all this time. I hope we can meet again in another ten years. Senior Poem Fourteen verses follow in line, We hope each will rhyme, This is to remind you of everyone's art, For the '56 class will soon depart. Nila, the shortest of the class, Is the first of us to pass, To school she had a very long walk, And in class she liked to talk. Carol is the next for us to meet, In her appearance she was always neat, She always had plenty of clothes, And Kenney was the one she chose. Jack the guy with the crew cut hair, Without a problem or a care, He got through school by hook, or crook. Usually by copying someone's book. Donna is our ambitious lass, She was the fastest typist in our class, When it came to basketball she was on the beam, She made a good forward for our team. Rosie, whom we know by name, Had a giggle that won her fame, To drive the Chevie was her delight, Especially with a gang at night. Ida the only girl in the class owning a car, She drove to places near and far, To ride on the bus to and from school, She didn't mind at all to do. Down the highways Jerry would fly, In his Olds. He's quite a guy, When the time came to get a date, Sharon was the one who seemed to rate. Janice the Art editor of the Senior Star, Keeps her studies up to par, Ready to help whenever needed, And her advice should always be heeded. Phyllis a girl who always had plenty of dates, A gal who, with Ralph always did rate Phyllis Blazek is the girl of whom I say, Maybe you'll be invited to her wedding someday. Ronald who played on the baseball team, Wasn't nearly as quiet as he may seem, Wherever there's fun, he 's always around, But when the teacher appeared he couldn't he found. This lad made it a point to have fun, But Melvin managed to get his lessons done, With all the girls he gets along swell, What he'd do next you never could tell. lake who always resolved to do better, Came to class every day later, Although he's the youngest of our boys, Where he goes there 's sure to be noise. Near Williamson, Iowa lives this girl, Who on the dance floor liked to twirl, Hillbilly music Marilyn liked to hear, To be an Airline reservationist was her chosen career. Farewell to the '56 Senior Class, We hope you will remember each lad and lass, Down the halls our footsteps no more shall ring, But part of our memories to this will cling.

An old friend, Big Jim Mahoney returns from out in Arizona' and plans to stage a supper for all his boyhood pals. Jim helps Grandad make plans to get out of the house without his daughter's know- ing. Unfortunately all his clothes are in storage. His grandson, Kip, has come for a visit, so they bribe the maid to sneak Kip's clothes out of his room. When Grandad appears in the suit wearing a red bow tie, his coat sleeves nearly up to his elbows, his pants halfway up to his knees, the audience really shakes the rafters. The two old men sneak out of the house with nobody the wiser. A nosey old maid across the street sees them and telephones Mrs. Morton, who scoffs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the sofa. It is really Tilly, the maid, who has been bribed by Grandad to cover up with a blanket, and snore at intervals. Kip, who has a date to go to the movies with the girl next door, gets a shock when he finds his suit missing. His older sister, Betty, and her boyfriend make the discovery that Grandad has disappeared. Assuming that a burglar has stolen Kip's suit and kidnapped Grandad, they notify the police. The tempo now gets faster and faster. While the detective, a regular human blooclhound, and the family are out look- ing for Grandad, he and Big Jim slip into the house with mysterious bandages around their heads. A surprising romance develops, and just before the final curtain there is a scene that gets the biggest laugh of the many that are found in this hilarious play.
