CLASS PROPHECY The alumni of the Class of T955 are assembled in the huge dining room of the Grand Hotel. It is August I2, I976 and we have all enioyed the twenty-one years since our High School days. Our toastmaster, LARRY BURGESS, president of the Shock Electric Company, is known as the inventor of the Death-proof Electric Blanket. The goat milk for the banquet was furnished by JERRY QUACKENBUSH, whose brilliance in agricul- tural development and milk production has brought him many awards. lThe goats are noted for their butting ability.J The menu was planned by the famous dietician, JANET ALLEN, She is noted for the famous salad alla ha-ha lpig's feeti. First of all, we see the famous musician, LARRY LESH, who is the idol of millions of screaming television fans. The clarinetist has since taken the place of Liberace of the I95O's. His silent accompanist, HAROLD WHEELER, lights the candles on the clarinet. lHe uses a very modern clarinet.J Across the room is another famous television star, DIANE DENNEY. She has her own program called Diane Denney and her Dizzy Debutantes from Denver. Next to me, I discovered the one and only, MARLENE THOMPSON. She tells me that she is now Larry Lesh's private beautician. She certainly has climbed the ladder of success since she invented the downswept upsweep. The lady with the children pulling her skirt tail looks familiar. Ah, now I know. It's NANCY THURBER. I mean her name used to be Thurber. l think it is Hoopingarner now. lt sure was good that she didn't bring her nine sets of triplets along. Upon inquiring, we find Out who the gentleman sitting next to Jerry Quackenbush is. It is BILL FISHER. Bill has created a new breed of cattle which was approved by the Secretary of Agriculture and called the Spotted Duroc Jersey. Who is that man in the Army uniform? l remember the face very vaguely. Now, I remember. It's no one but LARRY CORELL. Larry has finally made his way through the Army until now he is a Brstar private. Larry tells us that his twin, JERRY CORELL is a star baseball player for the Skunkhollow Skunks. He receives SI,OOO for every home run. lSo far no home runs.J - Oh! There are DON and RON CLARK coming toward us. It seems Don and Ron have done all right with their garage. The building covers a whole city block and the Clarks employ l35 men as mechanics. They have even started producing their own sports-car on a smallescale basis. It is cal . the Cluguar Super Dynamic 9. The car has 38352 horsepower. There's LYNN SMUTS. Gosh, we knew him right away. He hasn't changed a bit, Lynn is now coach' ing the Houston Hotrods. His record is I win and 206 losses. This is the best girls' team in Texas. lt is too bad that there is no other girls' team in Texas. Who's that gentleman with MARILYN HANNI? Oh, she started out as his secretary and after five years of faithful work for his company, the typewriter depreciation was so large that it was cheaper to marry her than have her keep on working for the company. There's DONNA MCCARTNEY. Donna has iust recently been appointed head nurse on the-fourth floor of Parkview Memorial Hospital in Ft. Wayne. She is another of the successful members of the class of '55. Over there are MARILYN and MELBA OVERHOLT. They are television stars on the Eddie Fishworm Show, which is sponsored by Joe's Gash and Cut Barber Shop. The Overholts parade in front of the camera as Eddie so beautifully says, Which twin has the crew cut? Down there at the end of our table is SUE NEWHARD and her husband. Sue patented a new type of high heeled shoe for women. lt is adiustable, so that no matter how tall any particular boy friend is, you can be the same height. Sue's husband is the only man in the world that wears these shoes, so he can be as tall as Sue. RICHARD NORRIS is across the room from us, I notice. Rich went in the trucking business and is now third vice president of the Never-Miss-A-Crash Trucking Company in charge of wrecks. Richard knows a lot about wrecks, for he used to drive one when he was in high school. There's Professor WILSON. AGNES teaches music and art at the Banner City College in Banner City, Indiana. She taught Larry Lesh the more advanced notes on the clarinet. Miss Wilson has 393 former pupils in the entertainment business in Hollywood, California. There comes GERALD JUMP in the door. Some one told me that he manages a Lonesome Hearts Club. He has played Cupid to 599 couples. lOnly 598 couples have gotten divorces.J Say, isn't that DOROTHY STAHL at the other end of the table? I wonder what she is doing for a living? Let's ask her. She's married now, she says. Gerald helped her find her husband. Their marriage is the only successful one he has promoted. So, we leave the 1976 Alumni Banquet, after finding our former classmates leading very successful lives.
