SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Now let us look ahead to 1960 and see what has happened to our class- mates in the last few years. Roberta Archer has become a famous concert pianist. At her concert in Carnegie Hall she played many selections of the masters. Among these were Cow-Cow Boogie and Nola. There is a new horror program on the radio. It is called The Screamer and stars Wanda Aurand. Larry Bradley is now co-partner in the Bradley-Emerick Auto fwreckedj Company. Harry Davis, having exhausted all the game in Ohio, has gone on an expedition to Africa to hunt bigger animals. jane Fair, the only one in our class that settled down, is raising a family of cheerleaders to carry on at Vernon. All the girls that want to get the new look visit Erdeene Hillyer at her beauty salongplggated on 5th Avenue and Broadway. Irene Hillyer who fully intended to follow in her sister's footsteps, found it much easier to follow Gerald's. Paul Hutchins thought that he would be a farmer, but he has turned over a new leaf and is now the Pastor of the Vernon Church. jim Leonard is now riding a motorcycle in a side show at the circus. Clyde Moffett has invented several new farm implements which have placed his name next to those of McCormick and Whitney in our history book. Bob Mullett has become a Big League umpire. After his experience as an af!-1-te at Vernon he was well qualified for the job. Elinor Perkins, lyric soprano, has joined the Fred Waring show and can be heard week day mornings on the radio. After winning several scholarships to various colleges Betty jean Rice has become special tutor to the President of the United States. Florence Santfant is still racking her brains trying to get advanced at the Westinghouse. Pat Sonk, struggling young artist, is still trying to draw a salary. After deciding that work was only for an ambitious man, Randall Sweitzer had bought a typewriter and is writing a book called Solutions of Strange Love Entanglementsn. jack Warner, although has has no voice for singing, still has all the girls swooning over him and his muscles. PRIVATE Francis Smith, after l2,years on K. P. in the army, has re- tired and is returning to Latimer.
