Class of 1958 Prophecy June, 1978, Everywhere In the town of Valleyville are huge banners reading Old Home Week. Invitations had been sent to all former residents urging them to attend and stressing particularly this first evening when a wonderful entertainment is to be given. All the talent have graduated from Valley High School. The great hour has arrived and the new auditorium, designed and built by Roberta Barker, is filled. As we look around us, we see many celebrities, many of them our old classmates. The ladies in the front seats are dressed in the latest Paris fashions created by Kay Donaldson. the leading designer in Paris. Most of these ladies had had their hair styled by Carol Shover. who has her own chain of beauty salons now. As we sit behind these ladies, we overhear them talking of Claudette Anderson's sanitarium where fat people are made thin and scrawny people are made pleasingly plum. Deanna Painter and Letha Combs, as we knew them, came in with their families. We remember reading in the papers of their awards. Deanna was voted Mother of the Year of 1978, and Letha has been made honary member of the Mother of Triplets Association. The first number of the program is announced and Tanlce Homer steps onto the stage. She is universally known as an opera star. Janice has a good strong voice and can sing two songs at the same time without losing the tune. Next on the program we have that famous lecturer of homemaking, Eva Combs. She tells how to make front porches out of packing boxes and how to feed ten people seven days on twenty-three cents apiece. Larry Williams and Thomas Zeglen, two of the world's foremost diplomats also speak. They just returned from a world's conference for the prevention of adult delinquency. Just before intermission we have the presentation of the latest Betty Crocker award which is an ultra-modem kitchen. This award is presented to Sharon Wllcoxen, leading Home Economist. Following the Betty Crocker award, the Pulitzer Prize is awarded to Sally Miller, famed doctor of Psychology, for her two latest best selling books, So You Think You're Sick and I Guess You Were. Sally has been working with Lois Pavelka who has her own hospital in Minnesota. During intermission we see some more of our classmates and we reminisce. We find that LeRoy Keener, as head of the Air Force, is especially in charge of keeping track of Roger Reed. Roger is home on one of his rare visits from his paradise on the moon. From his excellent work in Physics, we always knew Roger would be the first man to the moon. Tane McWilliams recently quit her job as a stewardess on the Space Planes to marry the multi-billionaire owner of the Space Lanes. Betty Remer. traveling out West a few years ago broke Las Vegas, and has been traveling around the world on her yacht the “Viking. Looking around, we notice the checked coat of Larry Baker, well known private investigator. Larry just finished solving his latest thriller, The Case of the Bloody Fingerprint. As we talk of Valley Days, we hear that Sharon Shewell, Barbara Pauli and Tudy Pointer have graduated from Yale. The first three girls ever to attend the all boys' college have graduated with honors and now are successful lawyers. Arlen Mason has had a shocking experience in his field of electronics. Arlen has now invented an electric pocket size lie detector. Maxine Williamson has been a great help to the teenagers with her newspaper column Advice to the Lovelorn. When the farmers get together, talk of the market reports seems to be the main subject. Richard Williamson has been Inaugurated the President of the Farmers' Grain Association, with Carol Waldron as Business Manager of the Association. Kenneth Mixer has been rough competition for Robert Morse. It seems the stockyards and grain elevators can only take care of them one at a time. With such big farmers, guess we'll have to have more stockyards. Marnell Rock . the great architect is designing and building a schoolhouse with a first grade classroom with 21 corners. This classroom is designed especially for Carolyn Peterson who just doesn't have enough corners for each oi her twonty-one first grade pupils. Compliments of CONLON'S GARAGE — Rapatee 27

Marvin Mathis is owner of the Wake Up pill factory. He makes pills to help you wake up in the morning. Intermission in over and everyone hurries back to his seat for the rest of the program. The first performer is the famous recording star Terry Scott, who began his career as a barber, but followed in the footsteps of another barber, Perry Como. Accompanying Jerry is the orchestra leader and composer of distinction, Alan Harler. For the last five years Alan has conducted the Phildiscordant Orchestra and the Space Patrol Band. OaanWilfflQt, coach of the leading football champions in the Universe Football League, has just been called forward to accept the team's latest trophy. He is praising his star half-back, Wesley Widger. Wes owes his giant 200 pound build to a discovery made by the mad scientist Bantam Bob Vollroar. Dr. Vollmar is better known for his discovery of multi-flavored nail polish for ladies who chew their nails. In the front row taking pictures of the ceremonies is Tim Humphreys ■ the famous photo- grapher who recently won the interplanetary medal for the best photographic study of cheese- cake. Before we go home for the night, Wayne Anderson has invited all his old classmates to eat at one of his restaurants. Andy prides himself on his rise from a waiter in his brother's restaurant to the owner and manager of his own chain of restaurants known all over the world as the Eat and Run. The next day, we begin the festivities by attending an art exhibit. The main attractions are the masterpieces of Kenny Ball. Kenny also helps Walt Disney and as a hobby designs crossword puzzles, magazine covers, and necktie patterns. Also on exhibit are stuffed animals shot by the big game hunter Richard Dunn. For relaxation, Dick goes hunting with his Martian Wolfhounds on Venus tracking down the furry Venacoon. During the afternoon, we stroll over the new country club golf course and meet Tovce Beclc, instructor in plain and fancy golf. Charging $5 a lesson, she is now very well to do. Joyce also gives bridge and oil painting lessons between golfing efforts. To conclude our day, we are going to see an Academy Award Winning Show, Get A Job adapted from the best seller, The Story of My Life by Stephen Watters. It seems Stephen ran away into space soon after graduation and became a pirate. Known as Satellite Steve, he plundered for years before he was captured. After serving a prison term he was pardoned by the governor, Carl Bock. an old school chum. Steve is now employed writing adventure stories for movies. Starring in the lead of his films is the Casanova of stardom, David Baker. During the movie we spot a few more of our classmates. Down front we see Garry Scott, accompanied by Charles Swlse. Garry, famed space explorer, recently brought back some Plutonian cattle for Charles. Charles, now a dairy farmer, crossed them with some of his dairy cows, and the hybrid offspring give pure cream. Sitting in the balcony is Kerroit Vollmar. Not long ago, Kermit bought the newly discovered planetoid Sirus. The planetoid has conditions ideal for raising Kermit's hybrid hogs. As we are leaving the theater, we run into that outstanding athletic star, Karen Sullivan. Karen has Just received a trophy for being the best girl athlete of the year. We say good-bye to Karen and hurry back to our hotel for our last night in Valleyville. Entering the lobby, we learn that the owner, Larry Broadfield. has Just returned from an inspection tour of his 99 other hotels. The last person we see before we board our sky planes is Norma Kinzer. Norma is the cab driver taking us to the Spaceport. Flying home, we turn our thoughts to the future and wonder what the next ten years will bring in the lives of our friends. Perhaps at another Old Home Week we will meet with them again. 28 Compliments of GREENWALL GREY; GAMBLES — Canton
