CLASS PROPHECY — THE HOPES OF THE PAST Ring The Bells Of The Future Hey, Clara you remember me tellng you a couple of weeks ago that my daughter was going on a trip in which she was going to look up the graduates of 1950 and see how they were coming along in the world. I just received a letter from her, would you like to hear it? Dear Mother: I am having a lot of success in finding the graduates of 1950 and am enjoying every bit of my trip. As I drove into Waynoka the first thing I saw was a new sign in front of the fun- eral home. It seems that Pat Fuson has gone into business with his father-in-law. The sign now reads “Fuson and Darnall Funeral Home. As I went on to town I saw Patsy and Bill Martin and was surprised to see him still handing out cigars but it was an even greater shock to hear that he wasn’t a father this time but a grandfather. I found Tad Thornhill still a member of the Senior Class in good old Waynoka Hi. It seems that he didn’t get in his theme on spring fever. He is still trying to find out if it is some kind of disease. Bill O’Connor has become a great writer. He decided that the stories he told in short- hand were so good that he should put them into book form and have them publish- ed. The name of the book is “Spinning Yarns.” I saw Darlene Taylor still drifting around from one boy to another; she can not seem to make up her mind. J. D. Sprague has become head surgeon in the Clapper Memorial Hospital. We find Vera Mae Stevens as his secre- tary and Wanda Fay McKen- na as his nurse. Seems the readheads of 1950 stick to- gether. I see that Tootsie Lakey Carson has been doing her part to increase the population of Waynoka. Her children seem to come in pairs; she now has three sets of twins. It seems that Opal Ealey’s engagement didn’t work out. She is now an author. Her lat- est book is ‘How To Hold A Man.” I heard that Phyllis Keene is looking forward to being the First Lady of the United States since Duane is running for President. Bill Murray is now an em- ployee of the Waynoka school. He drives the school bus and is still just as much of a pest as he ever was. Joan Harmon is now Math teacher in the Waynoka High School and it looks as though she has about as many grey hairs as Miss Joachims did when she retired. Those stud- ents sure are hard on a person. Mary Lou Jackson is now proprietor of the Waynoka Super Market. Her sister, Marilyn was her assistant un- til she married Kenny Berg and moved to Guymon so he wouldn’t have to waste so much gas driving to Waynoka. Seems that Eva Jean Ellis has settled down to keeping house and the task of raising two little Kysars. Margaret Good and her hus- band have moved to the coun- try and are raising kids. Now don’t get excited, I mean goats. Earl Gamble is still a sailor, but there doesn't seem to be much future in it for he is still an Apprentice Seaman. Karol Pierce and Max Fer- guson have gone into partner- ship and are now owners of the Little Rock Filling Station. They are prospering so fast that they are thinking of tak- ing over the Coury Brothers Oldsmobile Garage. Colleen Fiscus who was so determined to become a nurse has abandoned all her plans. She met a cute intern and de- cided to make Homemaking her career instead. I see Verlin Harmon no longer dashing to Ringwood every week-end. He finally married the little gal and mov- ed over there. Mona Lou Tea’s homemaking classes came in handy as she now has two little girls to sew for. She is also president of the PTA this year. Jack Litzell and Bill Fritsch have turned the hills south of Waynoka into quite a scenic next page) WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS WHS W (Continued on HS WHS WHS WHS WHS to formance means Your fine school per- 3 X CO 3 X co MARGARET SILVERTOOTH GOOD Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mack £.
