CLASS HISTORY At last our dream had come trueg four years ago we entered the portals of S. P. H. S. as little Freshmen. We were so confused at the new ways that things were being done that many of us wished we were back in grade school. But under the kind supervision of Mrs. Wilson, then Miss Borger, we began to understand and even like our high school days. At our first meeting our class officers were elected.

CLASS PROPHECY THROUGH THE LooKlNG GLASS We sit comfortably relaxed in our easy chairs tonight, June 6, 1963, watching television. Our favorite news program is coming on- On-the Spot Telecasts from Various Parts of the World. Suddenly we sit up with a start as the announcer says, The people of St. Petersburg and surrounding communities in Pennsylvania should be most interested in this telecast. Now, on with the program. As we watch the scenes shift, this is what we see and hear: At the Metropolitan Opera Company the performance is just over, and the applause is deafening. On stage steps the charming leading lady of Carmen,' for another encore. Why, it's Mary Ketner! She has reached her goal as a singer, and furthermore, will soon be married to a dashing young operatic tenor. As we admire the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, a familiar face comes into view. Captain James McConnell, on short leave from a near-by army base, lies sleeping under a palm tree. The grin on his face indicates that his dream is of those pretty hula girls. What beautiful farm land. Why, that's Turnip Hole! Here comes the farmer with a little boy toddling along beside him. The little fellow, Ronnie certainly resembles his father, Ron McHenry. They have just been to the barn to see the little twin calves. Mr. McHenry says that with production like that, McHenry Acres will soon have the largest dairy herd in the state. A family dressed in snappy cow-country clothes ride along a Texas trail. We recognize them as Mr. and Mrs. Wally Nulph and family. The former Peggy Hopper beams proudly at her husband. They are now the owners of a large cattle and horse ranch which they often survey on horse- back or in their own private plane. The Nulphs have settled down from traveling for the time being to rear their family-four lovely children. The crowd goes wild! The Pirate player has just hit a homer with two fellows on base! That makes the Pirate score 14 against 6 for the Cardinals. The Bucs are now a sure bet for the World Series. With a smile, Slugger Wetzel comes trotting across home plate. Ralph Kiner, now a coach for the Pirates shakes Judd's hand and says, You'll beat my record yet if you keep up. The former Barbara Shirey smiles as her husband, Jim, picks up little Cathy, then she walks to the desk and the typewriter. Barb often helps Jim out by doing some of his typing at home in the evenings, and so her talent goes unwasted. She finishes the typing and rejoins her husband and daughter. In their neat living room they present a perfect picture of a happy family. In a New York office, Delores Montgomery sits at her typewriter, put- ting the finishing touches on her latest novel, The Adventures of Milo. This is a sequel to her first book which is now on the best-seller list. Delores is happy over a telegram she received this morning from Seceil Von Barry- more, the famous producer from Twentieth-Metro-Mayer Studios, concern- ing her best-seller, Lost Love. A slim young model attired in a lovely white evening gown poses for a magazine photographer. The model uses the name Kandy Kane in her pro- fession, but we know her as Miss Beverly Shirey. We have often seen her Page Tvs ty
