Senior Prophecy Mr. and Mrs. Gale Grimes were seated in front of their fireplace one Christmas evening in 1959; Gale was enjoying the paper. No wonder; Some of the articles read something like this: New York, N.Y.—Dec. 23, 1959— Dick” Hockett, who got married soon after graduation from high school in 1950 to a mean old battle-ax whom he murdered the other day, is now on trial for his life. But he doesn’t care because he knows that once again he will be with his charming wife. He says he is get- ting lonesome for her nagging voice. This has caused a delay in the trial. The jury can’t stand for any- one to be satisfied. Who could with a jury consisting of: Gale Grimes, Cliff Davis, Clara Lou Milligan, Hose Peck. Lucille Hoffhaus, Jeanette Tatlock, Ed Hoffhaus, Lawrence Hazzlett. and the most cruel of all—Nor- man Walker. ADVERTISEMENT: Talent Show” headed by Professor Lucy Hoffhaus. With a cast consisting of only two people. But they are very talented! A wonderful opera singer whom all know as Phyllis Greve and the star of the show—a handsome young man from away out west who is famous for his yodel- ing, guitar playing, foot patting, and singing of that ever famous lulaby, I’m My Own Grandpa.” Not Harold Starns, but the one-and-only, NORMIE WALKER. Another ad from the class of ’50 was from “Shular’s Beauty Shoppe.” (Betty Jo has quite a knack for giving permanents. But the other day while Gale was getting groceries down-town he heard a scream coming from Shular’s Shoppe. He investigated (curiosity was too great.) and found that Betty Jo had given Lucille Spraggs a Crew-cut.” Some of the other old women thought it looked pretty nifty. Now all of the women in the vicinity are wearing them. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: Born to the parents of Donn and Rosemary (French) Spencer was a pair of twins weighing only two pounds. (Gale thinks they are cute—too bad they had to be rats. They do have cute names too—“Blackie and Snowball.” Gale saw this on the Sports Page.—Harold Starns, who now pitches for the St. Louis Browns, said, the other day after a game with the Yankees, You all know that any player that hits the scoreboard in Yankee Stadium gets a new suit from one of the home-town merchants.—Well, after that game, the Yankees are the best dressed team in baseball.” Another ad read:—‘‘Come and meet your friends at the Tolliver Cafe and Taxidermist” for self-service. Our motto is: ‘‘Stuff Yourself.” Mary Lee Tolliver is the Proprietor. Gale glanced back at the front page again and found something that he had missed at the first glance.— Skunkvalley, Ind. Dec. 23, 1959.—Ray T. Miller has been crowned just recently as Watermelon King of Skunkvallcy for 1959.” He was given the prize for swiping the most watermelons without getting caught. On the Society Page he found:—The Taxi-Cab Service Co.” had their monthly meeting last night. The meeting was called to order by Cliff Davis, the president. (Gale thought, Well, can you imagine that! Back in ’49 he couldn’t even herd one of those things.”) Cliff says “You may charge your bills to us but you also leave your lives in charge!” Washington D.C.—Dec. 22, 1959.—Jeanette Tatlock, who took care of all of Waveland High School’s banking accounts back in ’50, was just recently appointed head of the “U. S. Treasury.” (Gale wouldn’t mind that job if they would let him take samples home.) Crawfordsville, Ind.—Dec. 23, 1959.—John Ward, the County Superintendent of Schools, was arrested last night along with some other men. He was caught playing poker with a marked deck. He says, ‘‘It was well worth a try. I had won $432,000 and Bob F rench’s trousers.” Runt” Hazlett, the great American scientist, said that in the early 1820’s the majority of the popu- lation of Vermont were sheep, not people, and he has come to the conclusion that because of this the sheep should run the government. After all, the majority rules. HOSPITAL NOTES: Virginia Moore was taken to the Culver Hospital in Crawfordsville late last night. It seems that she had been plowing the snow in the Frozen Foods Department of one of the gro- cery stores when the water on her brain froze over. They kept her in a very warm room all night and she is recovering very favorably. FOR SALE: One large pig in very good condition except for flat feet. Weighs 2 ton and goes by the name of anything you can think of to call him. Call Ratcliff’s Poultry Farm. Phone W-1949-H. Mrs. Grimes had been enjoying herself all of the time too. She had been looking over the cards that some of the Senior Class of ’49 and ’50 had sent them. For a brief summary here is what they said. (Quite interesting, Huh!?) Dot (Foster) Arvin says they have three mean little boys. Their names are Tom, Tommy, and Thomas. (Something new in triplet line.) Betty Handley says, ‘‘I’m getting adjusted to the life of an old maid.” She has accepted the job as cus- todian of the Waveland High School since Mr. Ewbank isn’t there anymore. It seems he had taken over as the second A1 Jolson. Some coal dust accidently blackened his face so he took up Jolson’s profession as a blackface singer. He did quite well at this until one day he got a transfer. He is now shoveling coal con- stantly but is having difficulty getting accustomed to the hot climate. There hadn’t been much news about Ruby Henderson until the Grimes got a letter from her. She seems to be a little down in the dumps because some other girl took her boyfriend, Artie Shaw, away from her. The name of the girl is Ruth Johnson. (Continued on page 17) Page Eleven
