CLASS PROPHECY I am going to enjoy my television set this evening. There is a variety show called UThe Forty-niners of the Twentieth Centuryu which sounds very interesting. That makes me think of m classmates for that is the year our class graduated from high school. When I think of m classmates I immediately think of Robert Goff. Robert owns a Chevrolet garage in Risingsun. He still owns a beauti- ful farm and enjoys the life of a farmer. He has won many honors with his registered cows. Virginia Cullison has done very well. She is now Mrs. Herman Slapsaddle, an exquisite fashion designer. Her latest design is call- ed the WRising Lookn. This dress has a black jumper, a white blouse, and an orange bow. Those colors blend beautifully together. Her idea must be very original. I still correspond with Paul Stahl. Paul is a professional wres- tler and is known as UChubweightH. He has won several of his bouts and is thinking of retiring. He has a wife and nine children. .That's enough to keep any man busy. Barbara Brewer is married and living in England. When she first visited this country, she met Prince Charles. He requested that she become his nursemaid so she remained in England. Joe Goudy is happy as the president of an exclusive girls school in Winter Yard, Florida. Joe has learned how to get up in the morn- ings. -He invented a water sprinkling alarm clock. He needed that when we were Seniors. Martha Huffman is a housewife. She has such a darling family! She sings songs for every wedding and funeral in Risingsun. She is the leader of the church choir. Who did she marry? Silly people!

Sometimes I wish I were back in my high school days with some of m classmates like Gerald Mundwiler. Pete has inherited a million dollars! Pete, although a millionaire, still drives a taxi. He makes daily runs to LaGuardia Field and then hangs a little sign on his door WFemale Passengers Onlyn. No wonder he doesn't retire! You could never guess what has happened to Sara! She started out as a concert pianist. One evening she was getting ready to give one of her best performances when a messenger boy gave her a message which read: Umeet me at 8:00 p.m. on the bridge and we will elopen. Sara was so thrilled she forgot all about her concert and eloped. Sara now has three little Jims. What a catastrophe! Kenneth Correll is manager of the A Cleveland Indians. Recently he was hit in the head with a bat and becam hos- pitalized. There he fell in love with his nurse and married her. I wonder what happened to Bernadine Parsons. The last time I heard of her she had been an airline hostess but they had fired her because every time the plane flew over Wayne, Ohio, she wanted tobai. out. I saw in the paper the other day where Derwin Bates was chosen as America's most eligible bachelor. Derwin always had many female ad- mirers but by the time he built his six-lane highway from England to America he became middle-aged. All work and no play isn't fun. This, Derwin found out. Helen Warriner owns a dog kennel in Risingsun. She raises and sells all kinds of dogs. I asked her if she were married. She winked at me and replied, UMW husband would lead too much of a dog's lifeu. Don Correll has just finished a book entitled WThe Art ofloaf- ingn. It said in the author's note that he had lived this kind of

SENIOR HISTORY In September of 1957 thirty-one little first graders got their first taste of school life and set their eyes on a goal, which they will have reached when each one is handed a diploma on May 18, 1949. The new part of the school had just been completed when we entered school, and we were broken in together. For every scratch or scar left on the walls of the new uannexn one was left with us, because our twelve years of education didn't come without troubles, worries, or hard work. We are quite different from the original thirty-one in our class. Many moved away and dropped out, and many other new students re- placed them, so now there are eighteen nForty-ninersn left. Like the nForty-ninersu of a century vago, we were searching for a treasure, and we have found it.' This past year, out of the eighteen in our class,eight received football letters five received basketball letters, four are F.H.A. members, three are F.F.A. members, and four are cheerleaders. We are the nForty-ninersn of the 20th century. We set out in search of gold and found much during our twelve years. Now we have our eyes set on another goal, an even richer vein of treasure somewhere in the mountains ahead of us. We are sure we will find it because our motto says, nThis Far and Fartherv, and we believe it!
