CLASS PROPHESY Here it is 1965 and we are preparing to depart for the moon. Remember how much we used to laugh about making a trip to the moon? Well, now people even live on the moon! As we prepare to board the interplanetary space ship, which is owned by those fabulous space explorers, James Simpson and Buddy Scott, our baggage is checked by two redcaps-Dan Alston and Harry Sullivan. Assisting us aboard are two familiar stewardesses, Delores Wade and Christine Roe. Just as we are fastening our safety belts, two newly-weds, Hazel Baumann and Cecil Hurst, come dashing madly aboard. Well, here we go-oh no! engine trouble. Don't worry, says Margaret Stewart, here come Miss Fix Itl' Payne, Norma No Trouble At Alll' Prichard, and Jean Don't Laughl' Williams. In no time at all everything is fixed and we are on our way. There is absolutely nothing to worry about because our alert pilot and co-pilot, Joe Croom and Venable Murphy, have told us so. What a meal that well-known chef Pierre de Crenshaw has prepared for us! Suddenly we feel a. terrific jolt and discover that we have reached our destination-the moon! After stepping hurriedly from the ship, who should welcome us? None other than Mayor Honest Johnny Rutland and two of his poli- ticians, Big Shot Jerry Mason and Burk Shot Clarence Noblett, who are members of the Sure Shot Tarkington government machine that controls the moon. The welcoming committee escorts us to a waiting jet cab controlled by that Mighty-Mite, Tweekie White, who drives us to the Little Dipper Hotel. To our amazement who are the owners but Billy Roy and his wife Ann Maupin. Rushing up to the desk to take our bags are those two snappy bell-boys, Ronnie Hayes and Nelson Gonyaw. After freshening up a bit we decide to set out and see the wonders of the moon. We have just stepped out the door when we meet Janice Information Martin who proceeds to tell us the latest gossip. Did you know that Robert Langham and Cleo Jones have finally married after such a prolonged engagement? Just guess who has just been appointed Moon Shine Collector -that's right, James Farmer. The newly appointed editor of the Moon Chronicle is that highly educated iournalist, Theresa 'iI.Q. Arata. Bidding a hasty good-bye, we continue on down the street. After we have walked a short distance, we chance upon the Silver Moon Slipper Club, whose proprietors, Iris Adcock and Martha Gaught, welcome us to this fine social gathering. While sipping our Moultrie Specials, our attention is called by the master of ceremonies, Nathan Townsend, who introduces the Moon Maid Chorus Girls, Betty Gene Sumner, Zoe Summerlin, and Mary Ann Mazyck. Next on the program is the distinguished soloist Billy Jean Kennedy. Following this are the acrobats, Muscles Guidry and Superman Haley, who are gracefully tossing Betty Jean Dunbar through the air. Thelma Brown, model for the distinguished designer, Jaques R. Len Thompson, appears next with the latest moon fashion creations. The famous fleet-footed ballet dancers Betty Grover, Joyce Lee, and Evelyn Barnett really perform beautifully to that famous tune That Lucky Old Earth, composed and written by Ralph Royer. Last on the program comes that moon-known violinist, Carlton Scobey. Suddenly, we hear a loud-crashing noise and in rushes Mary Ann Schneider, president of the Ladies Tem- perance League, followed by Jo Ann Miller, June Goodman, Quanagene Dorough and Imogene Lemonds, ardent members. On our way out we see Nellie Richards and Ann Herndon graciously trying to help Mickey Green find his way home, but he only replies Just point me toward Bowen and keep the people off my fingers. Over in a secluded corner we happen upon Tommy Estes and Walter Rogers, who are solemnly engaged in a close game of African Dominoes. As we are trying to find our way out, we feel a stiff breeze and discover it is only Charles Crooner Blaydes, who is being madly chased by his unavoidable admirers. Leading the flock is Miss Sadie Hawkins of 1965 Dorothy Barbaro, who is closely followed by Betty Branch, Carolyn Lowe, and Barbara Watkins. After coming to the street, we decide to do a little more snooping. As we stroll down the street, we pass by Dot 'KHealth and Strength Johnsonis reducing salon. She has gained moon-wide fame for writing the book I was a Candy-maker's Daughter, or How Stuffed Can You Get?' Going out the establishment, we see Blubber-Bustle Russell and Dianmatic Daisy Fitts. While passing the busiest corner, Moon and Clinging Vine, we see C. Y. Graves, the paper boy who tells us that many of our old school-mates are professional businessmen. James Rocker Cooper is now the president of the First National Bank. Harold Ten- Pin Porter owns the local bowling establishment, and Charles Mask is now directing the Slabovan Chorus at the local concert hall where Rollin Hayslip is a professional custodian. Continuing our stroll, we see a gym owned and managed by the former boxing im- presario, Luther Dwyer, who has now retired and is promoting fights in the Moon Square Garden. Entering the gym, we see over in the far corner Bill Treadway, the current holder of the gnatweight title, working out for his tough battle with Killer,' Dorris. Johnny Crossno, who is getting a massage from the best-known trainer of the day, Frank Sowell, tells us of his latest leg injury. Patsy Littlejohn, the head of the Women's Division, is giving a few pointers to Carolyn Bell, Norma Jean Davis and Mary Lee Cothran who are practicing for their professional volleyball game. As we are leaving the gym who should we run into but Marie Fray. Have you heard about the newly appointed principal of Moon High, Jimmy Springfield? Prentis Howard is the geometry instructor, Charles Becker, the History instructor, and Narah Jackson is the helpful instructor in Physics. As we are crossing the street, we narrowly escape being hit by a car guided by Betty Jean Forrester. As Mary Todd and Gail Wilson are her only companions, she invites us to ride to the exciting football game about to begin. On our drive to the game, we glance at a billboard that reads: See Johnny 'Gorgeous' George and Peggy 'Make 'Em Swoon' Cooper in their latest picture, How To Win Them. Imagine our not jeering about the Cut-throat Three Barber Shop! June Winberry, Evelyn Noisworthy, and Margaret Brown are the owners and live up to their suggestion: Use Molpalive Shaving Cream-no brush, no lather, no soap, no nothing,-just blood. Whatls that loud noise coming down the street?,' we ask. Upon further investigation we discover it to be Unit A, Company B of the Citizens Army which is triumphingly marching in front of us. Many familiar faces catch our attention. Harold Dunbar is the major. Among other high ranking officers are Delores Big Ham Baham, Jo Ann Big Wheel Steel, and Betty i'Little Wheel Nunis. Nellie Speedy Kilpatrick comes lagging along just alittle late as usual. After the band has passed, we glance across the street and see a large red and white sign proclaiming: H 'Let us be the last men in the world to let you down' J. P. Harris, Buddy Guess, and Marvin Skaggs, cut-rate undertaken. Finally, we arrive at the stadium, erected by Jimmy Garrison. Well, here comes Nancy League, wonder what she knows new? Ernestine Simpson now has her own private kindergarten and Betty Fleming, Jean Whitehead, and Carolyn Ware Anita Agee has all of her children enrolled at this small castle of knowledge for youngsters. Annie Lee Glisson is in land of Mars gathering material for her next illustrated lecture. Well, Rhoda Berry and Mary Katherine Grace grams, we didn't know that either! As we take our seats on the fifty yard line we glance down on the field and fessional teams preparing for the great game. Jack Holt is the captain for tonight. While glancing at our program, miliar names as, Walter Lee, Halfback: Billy Mangrum, Quarterback, and Frank Jones, Tackle. What a game this In the last quarter while standing on the sideline, Coach Neal Forsythe is injured by a player who was knocked out are her helpers. the dark waste- are selling pro- see the two pro- we see more fa- turns out to be! of bounds.

Also rushing to the After seeing that the coach had recovered, we leave for the Victory Dance to be held at the Plantation Club ownd by those two spinsters, Billie Claire Morgan and Bonnie Aldridge. Proceeding to the roof we give our wraps to the hat check girls, Jean Ray Gam- mon and Ethelene Nolen. We are then shown to our table by the waiter, Howard Bryant. The main attraction for the evening is U . ,, . . . . . Hot Lips Powell with his featured vocalist, Vivian Frascella. The host and hostess turn out to be Mr. fRobertl and Mrs. fPollyl Shupe.
