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.

Class Prophecy . . . (Con. from proceeding page) Dude Ranch. Nona Arnold is nurse at the ranch. Seems as though she has quite a few patients. Seems like Luella Barber is a person with a changeable mind as she is now telephone operator at the telephone ex- change in Waynoka. Virginia Armour and Dixie Pierce are now acrobats in Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Seems they decided that they were pretty good at turning cart wheels while leaders of the Waynoka Pep Club so they got a job in the circus. Bob Morgan has made quite a success of himself. He is now coach at Cheyenne Valley and it looks as if his basketball team might go to state this year. 4 I found Casey Jones owner of the Jone’s Cleaners in Belva. He is still making trips to Waynoka trying to persuade Dorothy Dupy that being a cleaner’s wife isn’t bad at all. After all she’ll get all her cleaning done free. I see that Oleta and Sam- my Kysar have taken over the telephone exchange at Bouse ★ WHS WHS W I Junction. Oleta takes care of the switch board while Sam- my does the running around. I found Eddie Dexter chasing across the country with his coon dogs. To my amazement a little boy was trying to keep up with him. The little young- ster happened to be Eddie Dexter, Jr. LaVaun Nicholson has be- come a Powers Model. She likes to model bathing suits best of all; especially the two piece ones. As I was driving down the highway, whom should I see traveling by way of the thumb but Charles McNally. As I entered Alva I saw Rozella Curtis coming down the street. With her was a little redheaded boy. Now where would her son get red hair? Oh! I remember Carl Carberry does have red hair doesn’t he? Rozella and Carl got married and are now living on a farm near Alva. As I left Alva and crossed the Kansas line I saw a bril- lantly lighted Honky Tonk, The Four Aces, with Dean Bolar as proprietor. It had just been raided the week before for operating a roulette table in the back room. John L. Sulli- [ S WHS WHS W van is one of the Aces and he is just about to become what has always been his ambition, a millionaire. Aileen Gunning is now head nurse at the Hardtner Hospital. She still likes interns but she is just too bashful to make any progress so she is still unmar- ried. I found Kenneth Zook and his little blonde from Dacoma well established on a Horse Ranch in Kentucky. Jean Keffer is now book- keeper for a law firm but as usual she is out of luck since the boss is already married. Looks like she will remain an old-maid for a while longer. Well mother I was very suc- cessful in finding the graduates of 1950 as I found all of them without much trouble. Your loving daughter. Class Contributes To Stage Funds The senior class contributed $100 for new stage props. They had the props made at the be- ginning of school, which were used all year. HS WHS WHS W Say, Joan Harmon, who was that you were with Saturday night? Couldn’t have been Warren Bartlow, could it? Sure do like the boys new pep club jackets. We’ve al- ready seen some of the girls wearing them. While we’re on the pep club world, we’d like to mention how much we like the girls’ cheer leader’s new uniforms. Who are the gals who op- erated on Icke and Case? Who- ever they were they must like curly hair—Heh! Hannah and Jean H. Hey boys we have a new girl in our midst. She hails from Borger, Texas. Howdy Pardner! Brr-r-r that thermometer goes much lower the gals in physical Ed. are going to have to replace those shorts for something more convertable. Frankly we are completely baffled. Can anyone solve this mystery? Why has Marilue Sullivan missed the last high school dances. Now there was a time when Marilue never missed one. Does anyone know?
