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.
