SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ENIDRS It was a bright Friday morning that I decided to take a cruise around space. I was zooming along in my rocket ship when I looked down and saw earth, and Shawsville High School. See- ing my old home of many good and bad times I began thinking of my old classmates and what they were doing now. As I looked closer I saw a roaring crowd at a football game, and who would be playing on the All-American team but JEFF YATES, PHILLIP SISSON and LESLIE HALL. Looking closely at the cheerleaders I saw ALECIA SISSON and DEB- BIE HESLIP yelling with their old spirit. I glanced over the crowd and saw RONNIE MILLER and VICKIE AKERS en- joying hot dogs and big Dr. Peppers. Seeing the World Trade Center, I realized that I was now over New York City at a toy shop on Fifth Avenue. I saw JIMMY MILLER buying a Big Wheel for Jimmy Jr. from a very patient sales girl, SHARON PENDRY. Looking through the window of a large office building, I could see KIM LINKOUS, KATHY SISSON and RETA MACMACKIN taking dictation from their big executive bosses, LAWRENCE SMITH, EDDIE FISHER, and DENNIS BASHAM. The President of this organization, The Jetmobile Co., Inc. was HAROLD DONATHON. His private secretary was AMY DEAN who was taking l50 words per minute in shorthand! Passing by the theater I saw the current hit CLASS OF 777 was playing. As I looked at the billboard I saw another one of my old classmates, KYM WILHELMI, would be appearing soon with the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. The Pianist for the production was CINDY WOOLWINE. As I looked away from the billboard I saw a yellow Jetmobile drive up and CINDY HELM and MELVIN SMITH, the newest rage among the Jeans gang, hopping out to meet their eager fans. Tired ofthe bright lights and big crowd I looked back again at Shawsville High School. Peeping into the Principal's office I was shocked to see BILL FORD with his feet on the desk puff- ing on a king-size cigar, talking over the Supersonic Shooters at S.H.S. with head coaches JESSIE SHOWALTER and ER- NEST WASHINGTON. Peering into the old English Depart- ment I found PRETRENA TWINE teaching Macbeth, In the Home Economics Department I found BRENDA DU DLEY and BONNIE BROWN discussing a formal wedding with a group of eighth graders. In the Library I found MILAN BARNETT, instructing her assistants, SUE TIN- NEL and MARTHA BLANKENSHIP. Looking into the gym I saw a bunch of girls gathered around their instructors, TAMMY CLARK and BEVERLY EDWARDS. Smelling a tempting meal I headed for the lunchroom and found BILLY ROSS and DENNIS TWINE, Agriculture teachers, discussing the dry weather with MIKE YOPP who was teaching Mechanics. Looking over the line I recognized JOANIE SAGE, CORA TAYLOR and TAMMY HUFF who had scheduled conferences with their children's teacher, CINDY ST.CLAIR. They were surprised to see that the cashier was ELIZABETH JOHNSON. Hearing them talk I learned that KENT SISSON and MIKE HARLESS were managing the new grocery store in Shawsville, Like-It-Or- Lump-It. I also learned that DORIS HODGES had taken a break from her banking and had won first place in the Diaper Changing Contest, and that BRENDA BRIGGS and BRENDA SMITH were working in the County Hospital as X-Ray technicians. As I looked through Shawsville I saw a newsboy selling his papers. The headlines read RANDY BANDY new governor of Virginia. In the same election LESLIE REID became mayor of Elliston. Deciding to take another cruise, I was zooming right along when I saw a cloud ofdust. Picking up my telescope, it was ob- vious that I was in Bristol at the drag race. Lining up in their dragsters were DARRELL WELLS, DENNIS RICHARDSON and LARRY HELMS. Seated in the grandstands were MARK SHRADER and GENE SHAN- NON, editors-in-chief of Hot Rod Magazine. The fellow with the camera in action was CHARLES JOHNSON. As I was gazing around my eyes fell upon three exuberant, joyful people whom I soon recognized as CLYDE ARNOLD, MIKE MAXEY and LONNIE SONGER. Their only problem seemed to be finding a container for all their money which the outcome of the race afforded them. As I settled back once again I switched on my portable radio. After a brief spell of static I heard the voice of PETE RAT- CLIFF, a favorite disc-jockey spinning records by RICKY EARLY, the latest in the country world of music. Coming in for a landing for was it a crash?J, I hit the floor and realized that in my dream the effects ofthe Class of '77 from Shawsville High had, on the whole, been excellent.
