A FLASH FROM THE FUTURE QCONTINUEDJ Stanley Rentz and Ronald Dees were able to be here tonight only because they were on their way to California for a bowl game. They play professional football for the Cleveland Browns. Dr. John Talbert is getting rich fast since he went into the medical profession. He and the druggist on the next block, Lewis Propst, do a lot of business. Pat McNamara and Boyd Pryor bought out Wm. Cameron and Company and in their huge office have seven head stenographers. They are Gu V g k Shirley Meier, Evelyn Lloyd, Anna Morris, Betty Nothdurft Petrich, and Jennettie Toten. But head of the head stenographers is Barbara Densman McNamara. She stays there to keep Pat from being too friendly with the other girls. Betty married Eddie Petrich, who is doing a thriving business where the old Brass Rail used to be. It is now Petrich's Parlor. His chief customers are Preston Howard, Billy Jack- son, James Robertson, and John Davis. Don Cruse and Tommy Baxley are professors in the English department at Baylor University. Claude Carey is now residing in New York and word came by the grapevine that he is known as the most eligible bachelor there. Joyce, don't you think that Barbara Smith and June Reese did a good iob baking this delicious ham? They both are chefs at the Rhodes Restaurant, for- merly, the Elite Cafe. Nelda has increased it to twice its original size. Howard Garner is her head waiter. Beinice Shaw, LaVada Willard, and Joyce Yerby are all married, and LaVada runs a diaper service for extra money. Joyce furnishes her with enough work so that she should be able to retire with a neat little nest egg. Bernice still can't be- lieve that she is married and is all black and blue from pinching herself to see whether she is awake. A celebrity in our midst tonight is Billy Moeller, who is Hollywood's present heart-throb. He brought Marinel Schnizer and Adelene Thompson, his beauticians, with him to see to it that his curly locks are kept presentable at all times. Remember the Roundup on North 25th Street? Well, it is now the Trail Ride owned by Joyce Lanier. She has some of our class working for her. Mary Love, Gertie LaFrance, Barbara Clay, and Frances Harden look real sharp in those cow girl suits. Harold Meadors, Jack Saffle, Bobby Snider, Wiley Martin, and Leonard Jimenez are still driving those same old ialopies they had when we graduated. University's teaching staff consists of many of our classmates. Bobby Buffing- ton, Christian Hansen, and Pat Henderson are the coaches. They are looking forward to coaching Joan Koerth and David Herbelin's and Mary Ann Niles and Frank Payne's boys. Senator Woods, our civics teacher, had to give up teaching for other duties. Gilbert Londenberg has taken his place, and Charlene Jobe has replaced Miss Moncrief. Texas Power and Light Company is no more! Ronnie and Bobby Watts have established the Watts and Watts Electric Company. The Rivoli Theater, which closed the summer before we graduated, has been opened again by Kenneth Cepak, Toby4'arris, and Donald Neumann. Betty Behne is the ticket girl and Lydia Fuentes and Donald Capps are working at the candy counter. Davis Collier shows the movies for them while James Sharp and Joe Farmer take tickets at the door. Look, there is Lois Newton. She is making the Navy her career. Cuma, I hope it isn't fifteen years before I see you again. Yes, and Joyce, I hope your name isn't Koch next time I see you. Bye now.

A FLASH FROM THE FUTURE I The alumni of the Class of '56 is assembled in the huge dining room of the famous N,Q1yman and Watson Hotel. Travis and Clinton decided to give Waco something better than the Roosevelt. It is June I, 1971, and we have all enioyed the fifteen years since our high school days. Our toastmaster for the evening is Billy Ray Baker, that famous diesel technician, who with his partner, Garland Biddle, designed a truck without wheels for winter weather. Cuma Walters! l'm so glad you could come back for tonight. This homecoming banquet is just the thing. Everyone has certainly changed in the past fifteen years. Yes, Joyce, I hardly recognize some of the people here tonight. Look, there is Jackie Reed. Poor thing! She never married. I understand that she has given up kindergarten teaching for something more soothing-taming lions in Raymond Kaluza and Lanny French's famous French and Kaluza Circus. Robert Allen has recently taken a position with their circus too. He is the mu- sician who plays the piano while Joan Lasseter, Patsy Morris, and Liddy Anderson do their high wire act. Robert Payne is a very prosperous scientist. His secretary, Janet Moak, told me that Robert has lust invented a serum which when iniected into chickens makes scrambled, fried, poached, or deviled eggs. This invention really pleased Donald Sherrard, who has taken over the Youngblood's chicken business. 'l L.-11 Mf'Betty Ramsey is working in Barry Bower's law office. She is here tonight on crutches, accompanied by her nurse, Wanda Payne. The reason for the crutches is that she was found by Mrs. Ruby Barnes Bowers sitting on Larry's lap telling funny little stories. We miss the 'old favorite' Thomas Berger tonight. He has been driving a dynamite truck and Bill McGlasson told us that Thomas went to pieces when the dynamite exploded. He has to be kept quiet for a while. Carolyn Jansky must be having a terrible gime. She is sitting by Virginia Davis, who iust graduated from Donald Kunze's school of nursing. Since graduation she has become very careless with her needles. She carries one around with her constantly and uses it too. For entertainment tonight we have the 'Four Spades,' Dudley Anderson, Ken- neth Knight, Donald Ashley, and Aubrey Bradford. Since the fall of the 'Four Aces' from popularity these boys have become quite famous. Linda Bishop and Colleen Black are warning Sibyl Allen Frosch about how men are after they are married. Sibyl and Johnny were finally married last week. What used to be Bird Kultgen's business is now owned by Jerry Brink, Henry Wilson, and Paul Wood. The name of it now is B.W.8QW. Hotrods. As I was talking to Jean Plasek just before I came over here, she told me that she and Wilfred Schaeper are on the teaching staff at Darlene Polk University. Oh, yes, and guess who the president of the university is, yes, Woodie Rowell! He has become a great success. Jean also said that Marlene CSmithj and Charles Martin live near the university and have two lovely children. Glenn Pope is now Mayor of Robinson. He said that he was not going to let that city go to the dogs. Sherr Perr and Alberta Volz are really the ones who are doing the work though, they are his a visors. Mary Ann Meier and Barbara Sachs are in Hollywood. They recently co-starred in a movie called It Came from the Unknown.
