.ifffn-air, 4 .' . , J I P r Q X R . CLASS PROPHECY Place: Graduation of the Class of 1955 The auditorium is now beginning to fill with many people from far and near. The class of '44 has planned to meet here. I wonder if they will all make it. Those already present are: Barbara Roberson who is living with her husband, Lt. Commander Foor at Officers Headquarters in California. Oh! there is Barbara Snider. Barbara is now a dress designer in New York. My, she looks nice. Here is Paul McCreight. He is a professional basketball player, and from what I hear, he's a Frank Sinatra in basketball clothing. Who is that over there by the bleachers? Why Professor Ethan Bayliff of Ohio State University. My, my here comes Ray Focht. What have you been doing these last ten years, Ray? An Ag teacher? That should suit you fine. There is that famous writer, Dick Rash. Remember when Dick wrote that wonderful book, A Review of My Experiences . He says that is what started himon the road to fame. And here is that popular radio singer of Western songs, Delmar Dotson. They say he is living in Brook- lyn with his wife, the former Miss Beulah Webb, and son, Delmar Webb Dotson, Jr. Who is that in the Army Air Force uniform? Wh y Captain Budd Harrod. And here is the owner of that popular Dude Ranch, Grace Lhamon. I ask her if she has any family and she says, No, just my cats. , Isn't that the owner of Pumpkin Patch? Why certainly, Merle Carter. My what a healthy looking young man. Well that's what farm life does for one. There is Beatrice Gilmer. She tells me that she is teaching right here in Wayne High, and that this is her graduating class. My goodness! what's this coming in now? Let's go a little closer. Well Holy joe! Itls Helen Sproul and her band, the Twenty Hot Shots. And who is that in the middle- Why, it is Dolores Heffner, Helen's featured vocalist. They promised to give us a little jazz later on, so be sure to stick around. Who is it that just drove up? It is Irene Price, the model from New York. Beatrice says that she is the top hand model in New York. Now we all know whose hands those were in the hand lotion adver- tisements. And here is First Lt. Joan McCarty of the Army Nurses. She looks the very picture of peace and solitude. Well, let's go back inside and see who has arrived since we left. Over there are Faye Smith of the Skating Brigades, and Betty Lowe, secretary of some leading financial expert. Looks like they are having one of those good old talks again. Well blow me over with a feather! Here is the great Cassanova of Wayne High. Surely you remember him, John Moyer. From all appearances, he is just the same. Hmm, who are those gals over there with him? My goodness, why doesn't that lady do something with those squalling brats? Oh, pardon me! Why it's Freda Graham and her six handsome little Barrymores. My, how sweet they are when they arc-n't crying. You all remember Freda as the former Miss Wells. That seems to be all the class and everyone is having a happy reunion now. My it seems wonderful to be back in one big happy bunch again. As for me, I have just given you a sample of my work. Shhh, the Commencement exercises have begun.
