Memorieh- SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As mv mule train and I were clippety-clopping along the Atcheson, Topeka, and Santa Fe Trails towards the 1959 gold rush near Sugar Creek, Indiana, we halted for a bit of refreshment at Patty DePlanty's Holiday Inn in Tombstone, Arizona. After Patty filled me with luscious home-cooked food, she escorted me to s room with a bed, a few chairs, a wash basin, and a radio. I immediately lay down and turned on the radio. Just as my eyes were becoming heavy with sleep, I arose with a jerk when I heard the announcer say, It has been the re-' quest of many of our fans that we gather all information we can on famous glass- es from different high schools in the United States. We shall start not with 2 class but probably Eh: greatest class of all times, unless the one which follow; ed it, exceeded it. This is the class of '50' fror Rockville High School. Could I believe my ears? Surely not. But now the announcer was proceeding with the prOgram saying, One of the best known celebrities of this class, es- pecially to the bobby scxers. is the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood, Darvin Busenbark, who is proclaimed by many to be following the footsteps of Rudolph Valentino, the heart-throb of the '20's. Also in Hollywood is Charles Clawson, who has just gone into partnership with Honest John , world-famed car dealer. Now before the public's eye is the Democrat nominee for President of the United States, Jerry Welch, who in his spare time paints cars for a living. Jerry is getting along marvelously under the leadership of his excellent cam- paign manager, Katherine Britton. Bill; .3F Rohm, better known as Hot Lips Rohm, is now featured with his trumpet an. -Is famous swing trombonist, Fred Eldridge, at the WaldorfeAstoria in New Yor' ity. The r larenowned Lyndall Hooningarner is now appearing at the Metropolit- an Opera ovw- accompanied by her husband, Jim Hartman. Lyndall's glamor-girl friend, J0 ghwin, is now flagging down trains with all the little Stoops at Waynesville, Illinois. Our old pal, Glenn Lenover, settled down on a farm with his little Gail southeast of Rockville. Speaking of Rockville, let's look st all the old alumni who stayed there. First on the list is Gerqy Fortner, mayor of the city, who has done much to aid in the welfare and expansion of Rockville, whose total pop- ulation is 990,999. This number will soon be expanded to 1,000,000 by the ar- rival of Jewel Personett's husband-to-be from Evansville. The bride will be attended by Mrs. Martha Bryan Hutson. Martha's husband, Smiling Gerald, re- cently purchased the Coliseum in Indianapolis. At the head of his costume de- partment for the Ice Follies is Betty Siegelin, Sonja Heine's favorite. Also still in ye old home town is Lelane Farner, manager of a teen-age clothing store, who still is hoping to receive favorable word from down Bridge- -17-
