THE SENIOR PROPHECY One never can tell what position a senior from Wynne High School will hold, for instance the Class of 53 is full of talent and people doing interesting things. Not long after I had been in the Army, I got a two day pass. I decided I would, go back home and see how many of my old buddies I could see. My first night in town I went to a movie to see ’Til Get A Man” starring my old pal Betty Lou Davis. At intermission Talmadge The Great Doss presented his impersonation act with Arlene slay em' in the aisles Chrisco as his assistant. After the third act I remained for the floor show which featured Betty Jo Brock as Queen of the Ballet. Bobby Dennis received a large hand for his tap number. The next part was a swan ballet by Sandra Best. Harry The Fog Marshall then crooned to the music of It’s in the Book. Shirley Kay Starr Bellford came out for the next number singing I Could Have Had You. The grand finale was a minstrel show starring Bobbie Henson. Next I went past that famous night club, Andreae's owned and operated by Camelia Andreae, and decided to enter. I went up to the door, and who should I see standing in front waving for a taxi, none other than that famous doorman Johnny Twaits. After saying hello I walked inside and gave my hat and coat to the hat check girl, Joan Brawner. I asked her what in the world she was working for when she had a husband to care for her. Then I looked behind her and saw the reason--Eight kids! I then walked into the Pink Room and took my seat next to the Jazz Band which was led by that Boogie Woogie Man himself, Doyle Dixon. After watching these boys perform for a few minutes I was suddenly startled by some noise behind me. I turned to see Freddie Mohr, the cowboy from Holly- wood, come riding his wonder horse Dead Eye right down onto the Dance Floor. He then got off the horse and instructed the horse to dance with the cigarette girl, Betty Henderson. This was soon broken up when Captain Cleo Mauppin of the laughing squad came in and ordered the place cleared of all drunks. The first ones to walk out were Shirley Niermeyer and Jimmy Snowden, hand in hand. After that was over, I went up to the bar and placed a few bets with Mary Chowning, one of the bookies. I then went to the juke box and played a number while the jazz band was resting. I was sur- prised to hear Harriet Hotsy Totsy Byrd playing the piano and Babara Torchy Crawford singing. In a few minutes Maxine Come on to my House Burton came in swearing that Torchy stole her job. After the brawl, Gabe Hunter, one of the bar flies had to be carried to the jug for drinking too much water. The place was getting so crowded, I decided to take a look aft the old school I attended for 14 years. It was midnight when I pulled up in front of it and I thought I could see a light inside, so I tiptoed around til I found an open window. I crawled through and went towards the light, when I heard someone shouting, Eureka, I've done it. I ran into the room and found John Young lying on the floor dead. He had just finished his physics problems for Mr. Armstrong. I called for the undertaker and in just a few minutes he arrived. T.t turned out to be Wiley Middleton and his two assistants Rodney and Walter Shaw. We then put the corpse in the casket and headed for the graveyard. Logan McMurtry, officiated and Lucille Speer played the organ while Evelyn Thomas sang When They Ring Those Golden Bells. On the way home to get my Beauty Sleep, I met Charlene Cudd and Joyce Holleman practicing basketball for the big game the next night. I went to a Fashion show on Front Street, the next morning, and saw two Power models modeling lovely clothes. They were Juanita Brawner and Joan Mathews. Lila Burke reported the event for the Wynne Progress. After the Fashion Parade I stopped by an auction. I was surprised to find James Gowan as the auc- tioneer and Chris Cox the high buyer. I then hurried to the theatre to see John Foster starring in the new western, Cows, Horses and Ethel. On the way home for a nap, I passed Othel Jones giving a speech for Ike. When I reached my room, Bones Lawson, an escaped convict, was lying on my couch. I ran out and met Jim Foster the Fuller Brush Man who came in and saved me by capturing Bones with a hair brush. After a rest, I went to see wrestling. The feature bout was Han Herman Ballman against Gwen The Lion Hooper for the heavyweight championship. Afterwards I spied Thelma Sullivan giving some man some dope. Just a block away Betty Tarbutton was selling beer to children. I kept my mouth shut and kept walking. I bought a coke in Willard Cummins Drugstore and the Soda Jerk was Anne Hinkle. In the booth near me was Della Urfer and the track star, Gilbert Thomas. Norma Lloyd was crawling around picking up old cigarettes. I went to church the next Sunday and met Jimmy Caldwell and Juanita Durham, preacher and choir director. A thief was discovered in the church and the Monroe Young machine was used. Found guilty was Shirley Zeigenhorn. On the way to tny base, I met Bobby Streeter and Larry Fisher going to see Carol Lou and Pete. After reporting to my old sergeant Don McMinn, I went to bed to try to forgel the sights I had seen.
