Prophecy One fine day in the middle of July, the year of 1965, the 55 senior class of Williomstown High collected in Williomstown for o reunion. After a picnic in the community park, the class members gathered around to spin the yarn of all their adventures since the jolly old days of Billtown High. Jackie had had seven years of adventure with the United States Navy. After his release from the navy, he had bought a farm near Williomstown and settled down to farming. There he re- sided with his wife and four children. (Twin girls.) Alice had worked about a year and a half as a secretary, then married her school-days' sweet- heart who was making his career in the U. S. Air Force. Bill had a farm near Fairmont and was engaged in farming. His wife and little David were hap- py to have more company around the house. For little David wasn't the “littlest anymore. In fact, he had three sisters and two brothers now. Weldon joined the U. S. Navy. After his release, he settled near the city of Kahoka, mar- ried his school-days' sweetheart, and started up in the trucking business. He is the proud father of four boys. Rosetta went to a business college, then landed a job as a private secretary. Later married her boss. She has two children, a boy and girl. They all live in Quincy. Betty June went to college for one year, then got a job with the U. S. Government, travel- ing in many foreign countries. She married and then moved to a farm near Quincy. They have three boys and three girls. Buddy was drafted into the U. S. Army, then after his release was engaged in farming with his dad. He married a girl whom he had met while in the army and has three children. Francis served his time in the U. S. Army, then returned to Williomstown and bought a farm. There he resides all by himself, but he is still looking around. We all hod a very enjoyable reunion and were glad to be back together once more. We are planning to meet again at Williomstown for another reunion in 1975. And until we all meet again, May the good Lord go with each and every one of us . Good-by until then. —Betty June Edwards 8

(?la 5 4jiltotij In the year 1951, we, the present senior class, came clammering up the stairs to the study hall, where we were to meet and get acquainted with high school life. When the bell rang at nine o'clock, we all scrambled to our seats to see what was to take place next. Mr. LeDoux, the superintendent, introduced himself, Mr. Merrell, Mr. Blair, and Mrs. Gould. After introducing them, he had the freshman class introduce themselves. We were next to the largest class in high school, the pupils numbering twelve. They were: Patsy Timmons, Alice McFarland, Jackie Rainbolt, Weldon Brown, Betty Edwarck, Joan Smith, Rosetta Danforth, Buddy Fishback, Johnny Shoup, Francis Ellison, Jimmy Tripp, and Johnny Timmerman. The next September we came up the stairs again and found that we had lost Johnny Timmer- man and Joan Smith. We had left in our class Patsy Timmons, Alice McFarland, Betty Edwards, Rosetta Danforth, Buddy Rshback, Jackie Rainbolt, Weldon Brown, Johnny Shoup, Francis Ellison, and Jimmy Tripp. Our teachers were Mr. LeDoux, Mr. Merrell, AW. Reger, and Mrs. Gould. In the fall of '53, we came upstairs to find that we had some new teachers and another boy in our class. Bill Murphy from Wyoconda High School. Our new teochers were: Mr. Corwin Bowen, Mr. John J. Moore, and Mr. John H. Ross. We still had Mrs. Gould and Mr. LeDoux. During the year we lost Patsy Timmons who married Billy Murphy. Last fall in '54, we came scampering up the stairs for our last time, as we were now seniors. We found that we had three new teachers: Mr. Woodrow Hill, Miss Harris, and W. Humphrey. Mrs. Gould and Mr. Moore were still with us from last year. We also lost two of our class members, Jimmy Tripp and Johnny Shoup. Jimmy Tripp had joined the Air Force, while Johnny Shoup had moved and was going to Kahoka High School. Our class consisted of Alice McFarland, Betty Edwards, Rosetta Danforth, Billy Murphy, Buddy Fishback, Weldon Brown, Jackie Rainbolt, and Francis Ellison. This is the history of our high school days. We have hod a great deal of fun at W. H. S. I am sure we shall always remember these days. — Rosetta Canforth CLASS OFFICERS President----------- Vice-President------ Secretary-Treasurer Reporter------------ Typists------------- --------------------------------Francis Ellison --------------------------------Buddy Fishback --------------------------------Jack Rainbolt --------------------------------Betty Edwards Rosetta Danforth, Betty Edwards,Alice McFarland 7
