SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY They have now named the town where BETTY WALTERS lives Masonville because there are so many little Masons running around. CS.ARENCE SHAWGO is assistant dean of the U. of I. (University of Ipava) and teaches two subjects-- The Art of Bartending and How To Draw a Straight Flush (without getting caught). SHIRLEY HEATH has been quite content to settle down and keep house for her husband, Carl Tyler. They have one son, Carly”. BEULAH LONG has finally stopped going to Lewistown every other night. She has moved there and it is much more convenient. ADDIE MALLOTT is also married and has done quite nicely for herself. DARRELL LASSWELL has started raising dogs, and selling them at quite profitable amounts. Darrell’s biggest complaint is at present: With this horse-meat scandal, I can't feed my dogs. KENNETH NOBLE is now running the elaborate Rinkle Dink Skating rink in Chicago, the only rink in the world with padded floors. PHYLLIS HUFF is a polka-dot painter in an awning factory. SAM PORTER has taken over the agriculture department at Western Illinois State College. Besides this, Sam owns a nationwide chain of tadpole farms. And here comes the last of this rocket ship's load, WILLARD WEESE. Willard has been a hermit since 1960 when his wife left him. This is the first public appearance he has made since 1964. Now approaching Easley's Isle is the third and final ship bringing the old grads back. First to alight is MARCUS COX who is passing out cigars to everyone. His wife just had the 23rd. Congratulations!! EUGENE RECTOR has established the town, Rectorville, on the original farm, and now owns all the farms within a 19 mile radius. HAROLD HAMM has also done quite well with farming. Besides owning more than his share of farms, Harold has invented an all-crop harvester, attachable, to an airplane for speedier harvesting. ROSALIE BELVILLE is married and is quite content to be with her husband, now a colonel. RONALD Me FADDEN is still living in hopes that that certain Vermont girl will still come back. ROBIN MAGEE is star center on the newly organized Girls' Globe Girdler team. AUDREY BOTTENBERG has her own column in the New York Times. It is the obituary column. LOUISE CHENOWETH, president of the Man-Hater Club has interrupted her honeymoon to attend the reunion. LILA SHAW, who is one of the few yet unwed, runs a luxurious Shaw hotel in Detroit, where CAROL RICHARDSON is her business manager. MARILYN EASLEY went to Chicago immediately after graduation andhas seen no one until today. However, Marilyn has made herself a vast fortune. Some say she made it by matching pennies with strangers, and others say Marilyn is a boot-legger. No one knows for sure (at least I don't). BARBARA ROBERTSON has opened a Baton-twirling school at Bernadotte, Illinois. As last reported, the school’s attendance had fallen off. MARILYN CHENOWETH, who couldn't wait until school was out to get married, is way ahead of the rest of them, except for Marcus, who is gaining. PHYLLIS FRANCE, JANICE HUGHES, and SUE MITCHELL, who were always inseparable, have a 3-way partnership in the largest night club in the world. Now that all are present, the great B. S. circus can get underway. All will report to Easley's spacious ballroom for a jet-propelled Fourth-of-July party after the first show.
