Ghoughts of the future. The year is 1971. Just for the sake of curiosity let's check on the progress of our classmates from the graduating elassiof 7601 Sheriff BUTCH HOGUE and his deputy, EDDIE CARTER, are having a rough time trying to keep peace. It seems that stingy old NANCY WILLIAMS is still refusing to let KARL STIMPSON and WAYNE FLYNN cut the pulpwood on her land. Those guys are going to get shot yet! BILL NIFONG, publisher of the Democrat newspaper for Reformation has kept three of his reporters, MIMI JONES, LYNN HARPER, and BILLIE JO JARVIS so nervous and upset that they are seeking jobs as cigarette girls in the night club owned by THOMAS REAVIS and JARVIS HUTCHENS. The club has a booming business, despite the protest of Reverend CARL MYERS. The dancing Rockettes SUE ELMORE, LOUISE BOLT, MARGARET COX, and ZANA MENDENHALL along with the no less famous Trojans CHARLES ANGLIN, VICKY CONRAD, ANDY BUCHANAN, LINDA NICHOLS, and LINDA HENNING perform nightly. DARLENE CONSTABLE and BONNIE CONRAD, who have just made a great come-back with the old record, Sisters,'' are trying to gain a booking at the club, but the boys say that they can't take care of the extra customers they would bring in. The Class of 1961 had quite a few people who later on became very prominent in the field of education. Among those are BILL HARRELL, who was greatly inspired by his step-sister, and is now doing a bang-up job in teaching English. KATHY REYNOLDS has just completed a new dictionary for the English classes. The teachers believe that her ''30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary will be a big success. Due to all this confusion, CATHY ESSEX is still trying to read Gone With the Wind. One of the most interesting classes is taught by JUDY TEAGUE. CAROL CUMBO and CAROLYN TESH, two of her faithful students, are trying to learn from her the art of ''catching a man. In the agriculture department, we find CLEO BECKNER and C.W. COX. They are very proud of their prize-winning, perfectly formed squash. YVONNE GRANT knows that squashes aren't the only things that grow, because she owns a cotton plantation in Alaska. We find TOMMY SMITH busy teaching smiling classes. JUDY BOLES and BECKY DRANE are trying hard to learn themsecret. The school is definitely not lacking in athletics. DONALD CECILE is working very hard with his weight lifting class and FRANK HARRELSON is helping out by teaching ballet lessons. This enables the boys to be more graceful with their lifting. TOMMY and JO EDWARDS are furnishing the school with lots of little Trojan basketball players. The cheerleaders GAIL BULLIN, MARIANNE WIGGS, SANDRA AYERS, and LINDA HARPER are wondering if the reason for the great success of these Edwards players is because they have been eating their Wheaties. BILL SEALY and WAYNE HARRIS have a steady job waxing school buses for the county. The Globe Trotters, JOYCE SPAINHOUR, ANN MILLER, NANCY PHELPS, and JOANN HUDSON, have been wanting to play the girls basketball teams, but they have been unable to get enough to sign up due to their old age. The food business seems to be booming. LINDA BERRIER is running a most successful bakery and ETHEL GRIFFITH has her own dairy bar. ERNESTINE BREWER and DOROTHY NOELL are working hard trying to please some of the customers. BRENDA COLLINS and LINDA NORMAN can't seem to realize that it isn't the sundies that make them so fat but rather the lack of exercise. LINDA DORSETT, BARBARA LEVENS, and BETTY GARRETSON now own their own dime store. BENNY SHEETS and PERRY CRAFT have recently opened a centrally -located supermarket between Clemmons and Lewisville. Their Y and Z Purple Stamps seem to be a great drawing card. GLENN RENEGAR, PHILLIP CRATER, and DOUG JONES are now working at Kroger's instead of Food Fair. There was a big scandal over who pushed who in that egg basket. WANDA BODFORD, BRENDA BODFORD, and LINDA BODSFORD all are working as models. They model short sleeve shirts designed by MIKE QUINN. DAVID SMITH and THAD REAVIS are making good since they bought out Lewisville Esso. ANN WHITMAN and LINDA BRANDON are the chief mechanics. This station is known to do business with the tire tycoon CAREY MOCK who is now owner of B.F. Goodrich. Carey is trying to persuade JACK TODD and TOM BINKLEY that his tires would be an asset to their new invention which is an automobile that can be folded and carried in a suitcase. KAY HAWKINS ' idea of a speedway was the best thing she ever thought of. She will probably make oodles of money from FRANK EVANS, JIM KENDRICK, HAL STULTZ, and VICKY BROWN, all of whom are some of the world's best known race car drivers. Vicky is especially well-known, even though she only has her permit. 46
