Senior Prophecy Don Chenoweth wasn't too happy about giving up his Packard and moving to the mountains but Marilyn convinced him that he should live with the rest of his kinfolk. Since Forrest Kliendenst made his millions farming, he has become a second Rip Van Winkle. All he does is sleep and keep the flies off his nose. Wanda Wherley isn't getting any younger but after ten years she is still building Cassels in the air. Delores Derry and Bernard have a little shack all of their own and thirteen of the cutest red-heads this side of the mountains. Betty Sexton lives in 'Tatorbug Junction with her twins, Wildrose and Rosebud. Phillip Groff and Carroll Oliver have developed an insecticide to kill turnip termites and they have persarved so many turnips that they each weigh 350 pounds. Professor Richard Southwood is visiting his friends of the mountains. Leslie Woodruff, who was always just a little scared of school is hiding behind a tree. J. B. Carithers is running a kickapoo refinery. Donald Young is his assistant; he does the tasting . Don Ridenour is back from serving with the Airbourne troops and is leader of the Coys. He has challenged the Martins to a battle. Viola Melvin with her large family always takes a little leezer time to come to watch our annual affair, the Sadie Hawkins Race. Martha Mercer is quite a prominent person at Dogpatch, although she can't understand how she got here in these Far-rar away places unless she was blown here by a Gale . Ernestine Easley always said she would be an old maid and sure enough she is. Margaret Graham is another prominent person. She was our great horse doctor but since she developed a new linament that the mountaineers use internally, she's running Hadacol out of business.

CLASS PROPHECY After graduation the class of '51, hearing of atomic bomb attacks, guided missies, and radiological warfare, retreated to the mountains and settled in the sleepy village of Dogpatch. After 10 years of hill-country several changes have taken place in the lives of the former V. I. T. students. Gale Tingley has taken over the job of Old Man Mose and predicts the future of his friends. Jeannette Atwater and Dean Hulvey are settled down in a quiet nook up in the mountains with twelve little mountaineers tagging behind. Pat Waters and Lois Horwedel are waiting in a lonely spot on a far away mountain for Uncle Sam to return Don and Bob home safely. Barbara Danner spends most of her time sitting on a mountain peak with a bottle of moonshine in each hand. Harvey Brinton, as always, is still taking bottle after bottle of Hadacol for his Paynes”. Although Bill Seals is different in dress and hails from Yale, where he is a coach, he is just a mountaineer at heart. The Wolf gal, Doris Nunn, is still roaming the mountain side with a man-eating look in her eye. Phyllis Robertson,, after ten years of coon hunting and no success, has come to the mountains with her famous coon dog Ja--ke to hunt wildcats. Mary Bowman and Marilyn Fordyce, although still very quiet girls, always enjoy themselves in the Sadie Hawkins Day race. Robert Vaughn hasn't given up the idea of owning a night club. It isn’t as distinguished as those in the cities but it serves the purpose of those Saturday night get-togethers. Wanda Hollenback is just as Boob----y now as she ever was from mooning over how blue the Ski----les are up in the mountains. Robert Goodin has taken up the profession of taming wild boars for the show circuit. Dorla Baker has her two sets of twins and is married to a wealthy bootlegger. Gary Roberts couldn't be here as he has the s ituation well in hand serving with the Marines in Australia, but he sent his contribution to the Dogpatch Zoo—a duck-billed platypus. Emmalou Tyler and her husband are trying to make a go of selling Fords but way up hyar we don't know how to manipulate these new fangled machines. 2.L
