1958 Class Prophecy

by Ann Branson and Pat Lindsey

Read by Ann Branson

Twenty-eight Seniors standing in a row,

Where will they be in ten years or so.

Let’s take the B’s starting with Branson,

She married a guy tall, blond, and handsome.

A jet pilot Mr. Bunting decided to be,

While Miss Busch the hostess serves the tea.

Mr. Bushman is the principal at Mahomet High.

He decided not to say good-bye.

There’re only 2 C’s in this Senior Class,

So let’s see what happened to them alas:

Carpenter and Gates we used to see,

They are still swinging from tree to tree.

You remember Harold Crowley who disliked cops,

He now patrols the area after sock hops.

Ten years later we see Miss Carolyn Diveley,

Teaching the commercial classes—Boy is she lively!

Jack Dollahon our former big flirt,

Is now an old farmer knee deep in dirt.

Whose trumpet was heard every 6th hour,

Jeff Foote, of course, “man was it sour.”

With Larry Gilbert we start the G’s,

He now types 150. “Watch those keys.”

Blond Kenneth Grammer is next on our list,

There’s isn’t a trick that lad has missed.

Mr. Terry Harper who was always late,

Still hasn’t set his wedding date.

After a while Jean Hildebrand married Dale Sanders,

And then she took over the job of Ann Landers.

We said “Bon Voyage” to Charlotte Honn,

Is she still modeling for Ali Kon?

Miles Isaac has started a new corporation,

Selling crepe paper to Juniors all over the nation.

Pat Lindsey went to Hawaii and left this land,

But her kids keep her busy playing n the sand.

Ted Loy has forgotten his sorrow

For now he helps others by being Zorro.

We have 3 M’s starting with Chuck Middleton,

Who won the Mr. America contest—wow what fun!

Jay Mitchell has made public speaking his occupation,

Have you heard him lecture on “Scientific Osculation”?

We all remember Nancy Myers,

She now owns a far and raises fryers.

While in Hollywood we stopped at Studio Two,

To watch Marvin Poll as he played Mr. Magoo.

Janet Roberts has reached her goal,

She is now a nurse at the North Pole.

Look over there! Isn’t that Mike Seten?

He’s swimming the English Channel, will he be beaten?

Nancy Smith married a buy named “Louie,”

They own a restaurant specializing in “Chop Suey.”

Ruth Ann Taylor works for Perry,

They claim she’s just his private secretary.

Joyce Wagers is still a little cashier,

She seems to have fun saying, “step over here.”

Larry Wingert replaced our barber Mr. Dunn,

He’s doing a good business with the help of his son.

The Garry Zindars gas station is doing fine,

But he’s still trying to find someone to paint his sign.

Our story ends with this little note,

“We’ll Find a Way or Make One,” quote and unquote.
