Witnessed by: Dale Domblaser, Wallace Pennington In this year of 1980, we now look in on the 1957 Young America High School Seniors to see what they have accomplished in the last 20 years. After boarding a rocket at Cleveland, we are soon on our way to New York. We learn from the stewardess, Marcella Monroe, formerly Marcella Jones, that the rocket belongs to Don Gones. After landing in New York, we check in at the Williams' Hotel, formerly the Statler, now owned by Delbert Williams and Gall McNeese, who are the parents of two sets of twins. Also here is Kala Rollings, now married to a pro football player who is insured for a million dollars, and Ray Smith, now the seven foot center of the New York Knickerbockers. We then go to supper and to the movies. We eat at a restaurant owned by Carl Simpson, assuming the title of Cool Carl's Carrot Club . After supper we go to Camegie Hall and see Margaret Kamman conduct the symphonic orchestra. We then go to our hotel to watch T. V. Much to our surprise, Marilyn Fonner is now emcee on What's My Liner' Her guest star of the evening is Elvis Valentino, prominent singer of the century, known in real life as Wallace Pennington. Once again aboard our rocket, we head now for Houston, Texas. We are greeted by Mayor Donald Overton, and the new Sheriff of Cochise Evan Miller. Also here is Dale Dornblaser, owner of a 60,000 acre cattle spread, and Paul Palmer, prominent artist, and husband and daddy to Elsie Nees and their set of red-headed girl quintuplets. The last stop on our trip is Florida, and soon we are on our way. We visit the Cypress Gardens, Florida's beautiful resort, now owned by Virgil Richey and Ervin Nees. We learn from them that Larry Kincaid is now the owner of all but three of Florida's orange groves, and that his cousin Jeanette, is employed in the pediatric department of the local hospital, and just recently delivered her millionth baby. Very much exhausted, we begin the journey home. While alrbourne we meet a flying saucer designed by Prof. Richard E. Hires, and owned by Mr. and Mrs. Kent Dale, known in vaudeville as The Laughing Preacher and his English Teacher . We also meet a plane, on whose wing stands Mrs. Williams, who claims that the class of 57 drove her out of this world . As is evident, we seniors have done quite well for ourselves.
