GALLOPING GHOST Class Prophecy by GILBERT TABOR, MARY ANN STONE, SHAYNE TABOR Prophet: Ladies and gentlemen of the reading public: I have here the latest edition of Who's Who. After many years of research and proof- reading I have managed to complete this stupendous piece of work. I have been in the jungles of darkest Africa, in the Polar regions, on mountain peaks, across desert sands, on busy streets, in tall oflice buildings, under shady trees along country lanes-just everywhere to trace the footsteps of these wandering seniors. Now I have this biography-in-brief of their achievements and accomplishments since they left high school in 1954. Shayne: I found that Ronnie Smith and Marshall Armstrong were still sitting on the steps of R.H.S. trying to decide what to do. Mary Ann: What ever happened to Elaine Battles? Gib: Elaine is married now and is working the day shift at Gifford Me- morial Hospital. Shayne: Say, have you seen Richard Day lately? Mary Ann: Why, yes, he owns Day's Furniture Store and Eleanor Braley is his secretary. Gibby: It must be Louise finally graduated from college. Mary Ann: How do you know? Gibby: It says here tha.t she is an old maid with a million, made by sav- ing her pay checks from her occupational therapy work. Shayne: I also discovered that Stella and Melvin made a fortune when they built the Iirst department store in Peth. Mary Ann: It says here that Sandy Bruorton is in Michigan as a secre- tary to Henry Ford. Is that true? Shayne: Yes, and have you heard about Thelma Boudreau? She is a life- guard in Florida. Gibby: I see that Ranee Cowdrey is still hunting for the perfect man but as a sidelight she works as a physical therapist. Where is Marlene Coffin these days? Shayne: She has settled down to a nice quiet farm life in Massachusetts. Mary Ann: Remember Bernard Duto? It's Written here that he was the first man to drive around the world in a week in his Dutobug. Agnes Smith and Shirley Jarvis are his secretaries for the Dutomobile Com- pany. Gibby: From what I read, Elinor must have cooked another of her special recipesg for nurse's aide, Peggy Dalton, had a rush case at the Pete LaPerle home. Shayne: Remember Joan Davis who lived near the Aggie School? She joined the WAF's to find herself a man but got stationed in Alaska. ' Mary Ann: Vermont must be growing, for it says here that Lucy Gilman and her husband are living happily in their Beanville penthouse. What ever happened to Carol Lewis? Gibby: From what I read she raised her own basketball team and is now coaching them. Also I see that Nancy Osha, on her trip around the world, ran into Charles Rogers, who had joined the Foreign Legion. N.. file-
