Senior Prophecy THE mighty prophets of the Senior Class do hereby prophsev that the following members of the Senior Class will be engaged in the following activities in 10 years. As we look into the Crystal ball we see Jeane Bishop as Roscoe Turner’s Co-Pilot. She is flying over Possum Trot and who is out in the field but Earl Bowen plowing a field, with his twins looking on. As we fly on we see Don Dunlavey and Mrs. Maudena Dunlavey sending all their little Donna’s and Denna’s off to school. As we go over Hollywood we see Don Boyer in “Meet Me At the CasBa. On we go to Mexico and we see none other than that famous band leader, Betty Whittaker, at the “Hot Pepper Jump” on a one-night stand. As we go on we see “Don Juan” Myron Lyon punching cattle on Ellen Bragg’s X Bar Ranch. Over a little way we see Eugene Buzan sitting on a cactus plant waiting for the next burro train to the States. In Rio de Janerio we sec Bob Dixon opening his new night club, the “Copaeadixon” featuring Josephine Oberleas as the “BraziLain Bombshell.” Flying over Panama we see none other than Nora Keith and Millie Cline throwing away the keys to one of the locks of the Panama Canal after capturing 60,000 sailors. As we approach Miami Beach we see Verna Pettijohn and Jo Parr modeling for “lemon-ease” labels. As we travel to Arkansas we see Lowell “the Hermit” Shoe digging a cave for “Daisy June” Gibbs. Progressing forward we find Ernest Stoops still trying to get his jet plane to take off after 6 years at Wright Field. Tailspining toward Pennsylvania we find Fred Fox, Don Pickett, and Clifford Pickett working in the coal mines of Picketsburg. Then we land at Laguardia Field and who would be calling plane schedules but Melva Waitt! While exploring the city of New York we see Keith Henry trying to buy the Brooklyn Bridge from Jackie Leonard, who still has that line. Looking up we see Carolyn King and Phyllis Greathouse washing windows on the top floor of the Empire State Building. As we skim the Atlantic we see Ruby Grace Hendricks and Betty Reynolds rowing to New York from Sing Sing. Going on we see Charles Hiatt, the skipper of the good ship “Peggy Strough.” Miss Strough is giving orders to her maid. Clara Jean Phillips, as they cruise the Atlantic. The fog is rising as we reach London, and while we glide toward the earth we see Wanda King and Donna June Johns as gatekeepers to Westminister Abbey: and over at No. 10 Downing Street the Prime Minister’s maid, Georgia Kcrcheval, is sweeping off the steps. —14—

Back to the old school house, after renovating the Boiler Room we find a diary about the inner lives of the teachers of “45”. Quote: Our dear sponsor, Mr. Waitt. Biology and Social Business teacher, did toe-dancing on the side for the Masonic Lodge. Mr. Ballard is really the ghost writer for Dorothy Dix. Mr. McClung is not only a marvelous typist and short- hand salesman, but also he has invented among other things a Kleenex with a lace border for Sunday. Mrs. Cline is saving her money to retire and is also operating a gossip column. Miss McGinley and Miss Riddick arc vaudeville actors on week-ends. Mrs. Cushing was a wonderful Home Ec teacher who coached basketball on the side. Mr. Eudalv not only taught Physics excellently but he worked in secret with Prof. Dingledorf to invent a silent horn. Mrs. Turner, the Physical Education teacher, was in the 5 mile dash at Harvard. Mrs. Hersh-man, our Latin teacher, was taking lessons to be a hog-caller. J. J. Miller, math teacher, secretly modeled Men’s ready-to-wear at Scars Roebuck. Last but not least we have Mr. Miller, our dear Principal. He was taking piano lessons so that some day he may become a great concert pianist. His lifelong ambition has been to play a duet with Dave Minor. —15—
