if - g SENIOR CLASS PROPHECYQ My, it's nice to sit and read the newspaper and reminisce after a long day's work. Wanda's experience as editor of our annual is helping her greatly now. She is editor of our daily newspaper. I notice a big ad in the advertising section for the Kern Masonry- Construction Company. Jim built the constructions on the air field where Bob Dixon is a pilot for rocket ships and Betty Blackburn is stewardess. There's another news item about that billionaire, Dave Palsgrove. He always had a knack for making money in school, Dale Landes is head engineer in his company. Don Mayer was Johnny-on-the-Spot by taking pictures of that outstanding stock car driver, Pat Fitch, doing her daring car sommersaults. Don has taken over Powell Studios and is doing a thriving business. Gracious, those temperamental Broadway actresses are feuding again. It seems as though Sharon Amend and Io Chrisman can't agree. Their lawyer, Ray Mitchell, will soon get rich from all their law suits. It seems so wonderful that a lot of the Class of '53 are making the news. Take for instance. the new hospital has just been completed and it is practically staffed with all '53 graduates. Nancy Blome is head doctor of the children's ward, and Ioretta Barr is the Supervisor of Ward A, Jo Dyke and Pat Jay are in Timbucktoo as representative nurses from the United States. Pat Kem and Jo Denlinger have practices in Englewood and Clay- ton. They are also part-time teachers at the hospital. Gay Fravert is the head psychiatrist in her department. Ewonder what's on television tonight. Bob Mills is announcing the Olympic games. He will interview the brilliant American coach, Larry Binkley, and the All American star. Jack Iosselyn. Sylvia Waymire will tell bedtime stories to the children at eight- thirty. She always had such a soft and sweet voice. America's most popular disc jockey, Jo Coleman, is presenting a musical show with such famous names as Shirlie Sparks, the blues singer, and dancer: Roger Weaver. who took over the Arthur Murray studios. The Brinker dance band was rated No. 1 in the country this year. Charlene always played the trumpet in school. Jerry Collins, the musical arranger for Spike Jones, will be there also. X Lois Miller owns a big chain of restaurants and Bill Kelley is the head chef. How well I remember that Bill always liked food! Mark Brooks is entering the Indianapolis 500 for the tenth time. He has been first place winner ever since his first race. Of course, he has the two best mechanics in the business-Bill Border. and Ronnie Harper. X fl l

Sf? Bill Weist and Walter Harriss own all the filling stations in Ohio. And to think, they got their start in Englewood as gas attendants. The Newer Look has come in this spring. Barbara Smith is the head buyer for the Bosron and Sellers Department Store. Carol and Shirley have come a long way from the little dress shoppe they had twenty-five years ago. The Powers Models, of which Marty Hoersting is one, will be in the spring fashion show. Gene Riser, the mayor of the city, has passed a bill for new police uniforms. Pat Craft, head of the Policewomen Dept. . got this passed by influencing the mayor's sec- retary, Shirley Sammons. The two competing oil tycoons. Rabold and Fenton, are still arguing about the rights of the Ballangee Trucking Firm. Don has a company in Oklahoma and Fred's business is in Texas. Harry and Bob started out by driving gravel trucks years ago. Carole Carles is the new Secretary of the Treasury. She always was capable of handl- ing the class money. We even have representatives in the service. Charles Koch rose to the rank of Fleet Admiral, and Bob Jones is Rear Admiral. They are going on an expedi- tion to the North Pole this fall. Pat Cruea is the WAC Training teacher at Wright Field. l see where Mary Gray owns a child nursery. Marcia Ware was advertising for a day- time babysitter so the nursery will solve her problem. The farm report looks favorableg the farmers had a good crop in everything this year. Bud Wetzel and Don Roberts are partners in the farm implement business. Don Stutz's poultry farm has lowered its price on eggs. Randolph School has hired three teachers from our class. Eudora Burroughs is the new kindergarten teacher, and Dolores Wright teaches Latin. Io Spears is the French teacher. I remember how they used to tease her about her southern drawl. The Lodge and Swartz Beauty Salon is moving to a new location. The Beery Plumb- ing Shop will take over their old store. Sue Marshall's pet shop is right next to Paul's store. How surprising it is to find so many of my classmates names mentioned in this edition. I am presently writing a feature article for this paper under the byline of Judy Emerick. It is to be a series on the treasured memories of these very students as we were back in 1953 at old Randolph High. B6
