FRANK TRANSOU is still selling shoes at Anchor Company, even though he owns the place. WOODY CORNATZER and JERRY TAYLOR have been trying to make a success of their new gym which is called the ''Mostest.'' They seem to be having a hard time because of ANN STEELMAN and her jump-jump. She has taken two of their regular customers, LINDA CONRAD and BETTY SPAUGH. Maybe the boys should have their faces lifted. TOMMY LAIRD, who has bought a sawmill and started his own furniture factory, is doing real well. He donated loads of furniture to HOLDER MOTEL for advertisement purposes. BLANCHE and CAROL must be desperate. JULIA MESSICK, JACKIE CASEY, and JUDY HARDIN are manufacturing punch bowls, plungers, and peanut shells in their newly formed company. However, all they do is fuss over which is to be Editor, President, and Chief. Life guard CLAY FURCHES is keeping a close watch on JIM WINFREY who is trying to teach MIKE BEAUCHAMP how to swim. EDDIE POWELL is using his mathematical mind to figure out how to make nothing but a hole-in-one each time you shoot. You know, angles and all that jazz. DAVID PICKETT, who is a gunsmith, is kept busy supplying the deerslayer, STEVE LEWIS, with guns. JIM BOYD and JIM MECHUM are still in the lamenating business. Only last week they burned to a crisp the drivers' licenses of CAROL HALE, SANDRA RIDEOUT, and SUE BEAUCHAMP. HUGH CHEEK, who is the heavy-heavy weight champion of the world, will defend his title against TOMMY JOHNSON, an up and coming fighter soon. Tommy's success must depend on his manager, GLENDA NIFONG. The referee will be CAROL JONES. HARRY PINK is the present checker champion of Clemmons. Dateline: Hollywood ROSALYN and SUSAN PRATT are co-producing the new movie ''Men Prefer Redheads. Starring in the movie are JOAN MILLER, JANE FOSTER, NANCY DAVIS, and BONNIE SINK. The leading men are BILL JARVIS and JERRY ROBERTSON. The JERRY SHORE combo has signed a contract to furnish the music for the movie. TONY JOHNSON, JACKIE BOYER, and PATSY PEGRAM, all members of the combo, are very happy for this new opportunity, but they feel that they could get along without LARRY CHILDRESS, MELVIN FORREST, and EUGENE STRUPE who are supposed to sing the theme song. Dateline: Washington, D.C. ROY FOSTER is serving as a French Interpreter at the United Nations. Roy always did love French. Rumors are that dishonest lady Congressman GEORGIA MARSHALL is trying to have him impeached for butchering French. That's a serious charge. The lone lady governor in the United States, JOYCE McGALLIARD, Governor of Pfafftown has recently been elected to her tenth straight term. Her two valets MARIE DAVIS and PATSY SHOAF are very proud of her. THOMAS MOODY is a Republican Congressman from Mississippi. Dateline: Cupidville CAROL RENEGAR and BARBARA PARKER, who are now sisters-in-law, are very happy with their newly formed sewing circle. They probably organized it for the less fortunate old maids, GLENDA LOCKLEAR, VEOLA YATES, JOYCE TESH, JANIE REICH, and EDNA JAMES. I wonder what happened to those poor girls. FAYE and KAY REICH, who were once known for comradeship, have gone their separate ways because of an argu- ment over a man. Sisters will be sisters. BYRON and DARLENE SEAGRAVES are still happily collecting stamps. The Romeos of the community, DON BOWMAN and WAYNE HAUSER, have decided that pool is much more profitable than girls. ANN SMITH is the nation's number one mole remover. MAXINE CRIM somehow chose the field of fortune telling. She probably predicted that all those dating couples, BOBBY BREWER and PAULETTE VESTAL,LACY HARRIS and MARGIE WHEELING, and CARL COOK and PAT LAWSON, would all someday be happily married. LINDSAY WATKINS is the head doctor at the new Clemmons Medical Center. JUDY ADCOCK, LINDA WATSON, and SANDY SMITH are all nurses on his staff. JAMES VICKERS, mayor of Hanestown, recently appointed HAROLD GROCE as his city manager. HARRY VOSS and KEN TATE are doing a stretch at Atlanta for bootlegging. Boys, moonshine is for the birds. The past ten years have certainly been fruitful ones. We hope that the next ten will prove to be even better. JUDY HARDIN BYRON SEAGRAVES Prophets 47

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
