Class Prophecy 1959 Dear Mrs . Lair, We were sorry that you couldn't attend our class reunion yesterday. None of the class had seen each other since graduation, 1949, so we were surprised to learn what some of them were doing falthough we had long ago predicted what some of them would be doingl. For instance: Darlene Bearden is running a boarding house on Main street, where she spends most of her time in the kitchen turning out biscuits that are all right, in other words, solid. Barbara Boyd is the contented housewife of the celebrated scientist and all-round genius, George M. Gazda. Mr. and Mrs. George Boyd now occupy the front attic of Bearden's Boarding House, where Mr. B. is working on a new canvas. Mrs. B., the former Evelyn Seifert, is his model. Jack Brennan and Bill Talkington became universally famous when they discovered a way to make a broom work by itself. Pat Flowers, Josephine Bednar, Elaine King, and Theresa Opremchak, are on tour of the United States, singing nightly to capacity crowds. Mary Lou Giberson has accepted a job with John Powers as a model. J. Paul Goode owns the Wreck on the Highway, ' modern, up-to-date, fire hazard. Charles Gooden, the celebrated violinist, is appearing next week at Carnegie Hall. Tickets are 5510.00 apiece. ' Johnny Gwinn has taken Tarzan's place in pictures, and will soon appear in Tarzan and the Scorpion. Good Luck from DR. T. R. McKEMIE, Dentist 20
