From the 1960 Year Book

Class prophecy

The Senior Class of 1960 is beginning to gather in the Lake Weir High lunchroom. The occasion? Why, of course, it is another spaghetti supper. Ten years have passed since the one we had in February, 1960. We are about to see what the members of that fine class have been doing for ten years.

Our William Poucher has become famous as the International, Interplanetary Baton Twirling Champion. Richard Reynolds blows in, in his favorite limousine. He now owns every citrus tree in Florida. Irene Ammons is his private secretary. Her latest typing record is 999 words per minute.  Six more of our old friends arrive. JoAnn Smith has been giving the G. & S. Packing Company quite a bit of competition. Jane Dyer is a secretary at the Pentagon. Susan McConn, Mrs. America of 1968, is finding time to write a book, MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY CLASS. We see Wanda Geer wearing the cloak and dagger of the F. B. I. Deanna Crowe is teaching typing right here at Lake Weir High. Barbara Goolsby is a legal secretary in our own state capital.

Across the room we see - none other than Al Schmid and Jimmy Jacobs. Al was in Southeast Asia for five years, improving agricultural conditions there. Jimmy owns oil wells and cattle ranches in Texas. Jimmy and A1 both have seven kids.  Wedding bells have rung for Patsy Walton, Frances Virgil, and June Swearingen. Linda McClendon, Glenna Moorman, Laurie Anderson, and JoAnne Hancock are busy homeroom mothers. LaVerne Griggs and Peggy Satcher find time from their housekeeping chores to be employed by the No-More-Family Fights Marriage Counselors' Bureau.

In walks Barbara Bolton, Caroline Trubin and Diane Pelfrey. Caroline is editor of the "New Orleans Blab" newspaper. Barbara is a renowned commercial artist. Diane teaches trig in Clermont, Florida.   John "Stinkweed Meade IV" Stepp has just started to work on his latest movie - "Ambrose Ain't Desperate No More. " We hear that Arnold Lasota and George Olin are joint owners of a Miami modeling agency. Kae Rae Dirlam and Judy Scott are their top-paid models. The girls have patented their own formula for Technicolor Hair Dye.

Lamar Holder has become a civil engineer. His latest project is a skyway bridge across Lake Weir. Timmy Reedy and Wesley Blow are big-time ranchers. (Dude, that is.)  Judy Proctor, Barbara Williamson and Nina Music have organized the Association For Lonely Hearts Like Ours. (In Pedro, of course.) Patti Brown, hair stylist from New York, is recalling old times with them. Would you believe this? Spencer Kingsland owns the Kingsland's Best Dairy Products Corp. of Central Florida. Who stands behind all those medals we see flashing over there? It's John Reitz and Tommy Tillman. They are heroes of Uncle Sam's armed forces.

One of Belleview's leading businessmen, Jim Becraft, tells us that he now owns his own garage. We ill know that "Bobo" Kirby is president of Florida Power Corp. John Scales has been doing extensive nedical research on top-secret stuff which will soon be revealed to the world.  Bethli Gerber tells us that after many years she finally finished college and is now an elementary school teacher. We find that Eileen Miller has established one of the finer beauty culture schools in Pennsylvania.

Well, if it isn't Virginia Pelot, Barbara Smith, and Jewel Deane Steele, Virginia is an airline hostess or T. W.A. Barbara Smith (Evans) says that she still has to chase pigs out of her front yard. They keep ruining her petunia beds. We all read that Column in our favorite papers, Steele's Advice to the Lovelorn.

As for me, Diane Kelsey, I nearly didn't get here tonight. You see, I was grading math papers for our favorite algebra teacher's kids.
