We, O.H.S. Seniors of 1946, are now ready to step out the door of the "Big Tent", which has sheltered us for the past twelve years. Our teachers heave a sigh of relief, but down deep in their big hearts they wonder what is to become of their precious students. This problem we will try to solve by looking through our magic prophescope to the year of 1960. Here is what we find:

Our first vision is of Hollywood. We find Kenneth Smith on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, whistling at all the slick chicks as he sells pencils, razor blades, etc. It's a good life if you can whistle. Fay Thompson owns one of Hollywood's foremost beauty salons and caters only to male customers. Irene of Hollywood has been replaced by Helen Weaver. Norma Loch is in the show business with her own "Beauty of Burlesque" strip-tease number. June Brewer is married and appearing on a popular radio program with her husband. They're billed as Dr. and Mrs. I.Q. We find Raymond Ricci living in Hollywood and giving Jose Iturbi considerable competition.

Suddenly the scene changes, and we stroll up the sidewalks of New York. In Broadway's brightest lights we see "Keith Clifton and His Rhythm Girls" billed for their ninth week at the city's leading theater. Shirley Fields is piloting a helicopter around the suburbs of New York City, but she has never found a husband for herself. She's just too particular! John Keithley has done nothing since his high school days expecting to complete the "Unfinished Symphony". Jo Jean Nichols runs a newspaper in London and has acquired a very convincing accent. Patty Kirk has finally received a patent on her recent invention, shoes to be worn on either foot. Martha Richardson is with Barnum and Bailey selling cotton candy. Marjorie Hatfield won the Parents Magazine Contest with her excellent essay on "How to be Happy, Though Married". Dorothy Stringham sells atomic bubble gum on 42nd and Broadway. We leave New York and make several changes in scenery in order to catch a glimpse of everyone with whom we wish to make contact.

"Gib" Young was given the award of $1,000 by the U.S. Army for being the only Sergeant who still had friends. Billie Lou Jacobs decided to work for a living so we find her being promoted to Conductor on the MOP. John Carmichael bought out Bert's Rendezvous and went into business for himself. He changed the name to John's Joint. His best customer is Jimmy Dale, who, by the way, is running for Governor of Kansas. His theme song if "Ale or Nothing for Dale". Leonard McVay is now giving flying lessons and his favorite but dumbest pupil is Louise Swearingen. LaVerne Dickey and Clayton Ross spend most of their time raising cows giving chocolate 400's. Roberta Obermeier is digging and selling fishing worms till Tommy comes home.

Wilma Hipsher is still living in Parker, minding all her little Lemons. "Mert" Yocum turned author and has written a book entitled "Not Heighty, But Mighty". Barbara lost her nickname, "Baby" and is now known as "Dolly with the Diamonds". Wilma Bratton is America's best known gold digger. Daily she trudges up the mountain side with her pick and shovel and digs gold till sunset. Rosella Goudie and Norma Hart take turn about keeping records at the Paola jailhouse. Ethelyn Debrick is employed as lead entertainer at the Osawatomie U.S.O. The fun she has playing dominoes! Everett Gilbert is photographer for the Beagle Bugle and Evelyn Patience is photographer's model. Zeke Zakoura has finally finished high school and is contemplating college. Joe Churchill is still driving Goudie's grocery truck days and walking his beat up and down Main Street nights. Gene Cortner is sole owner, manager, clerk, in fact, the one and only employee at Cortner's Quality Clothing located in Lane. Roberta Day was selected as America's Model Housewife by the Graphic. Wylda Zink writes the gossip column for the Graphic and is doing very well at it. John Hawkins took over the selling of Hawkinsurance. "Squire" Wilt and "Blimp" Weaver bought two "Protection From Women" policies yesterday. John will Hawkinsure anything! Doris Hanfeld and Fern Gabler are both married and living in a duplex. Doris is downstairs because of her four children. Bill Montague and his wife, Peggy, not forgetting the two children, are living in South America on a banana plantation. Virginia Huff is working at Sing Sing as chief executioner. She says, "Boy, this'll kill yuh!" and it does. Elnora McClintock is driving a taxi around Osawatomie. Seems as if she's just more at home in a car. Marcia Hewitt who runs a skating rink on the outskirts of Kansas City, has become Pla-Mor's chief rival. Maxine Roseberry is better known as "Maxie Rosenbloom", Kansas City's leading lady wrestler. Mary Lou Sherman, who always had so many ups and downs, is an elevator girl at Sears in Coffeyville. Toni Basquez is giving Arthur Murray dancing lessons. Thelma Stone and Lillian Cartwright are bouncers at John's Joint. Lillian Bussell is coach at Vassar College. June Winters, truly a second Florence Nightengale, has founded a cat and dog hospital at Paola. Maxine Toops and Roberta Waller are head waitresses at the Stork Club. Mike Sheehan lives on his farm near Beagle and tends to his duties as night watchman in town while Connie does the milking. Jerry Moore and Rob Chambers are managing a hula hula show for Barnum and Bailey. Jerry designs costumes and Bob just . . . manages. Lee Sechrest is a gib Congressman, and you should hear him argue world problems. Dorothy Hand Busch does nothing but keep house, and mind the children while Bob is out to sea. Les Stanley and his wife, Helen are living on the campus of Stephens College where Les is coach of the all-girl team. Floyd Cook has completed his first successful trip to the moon in his newest invention, the Super Rocket Ship. Wilma Pontious gave up marriage and joined the WAVES. Bob Pulliam is understudying Bob Hope and doing very well at it. Margaret P. is a graduate nurse with the paratroopers. Guess why! Daryl Rohrer is sole owner of a turkey farm in Arizona. Eileen Churchill, who always claimed to be a child psychologist, now practices what she preached with six of her own. Don Lanning has taken over the Lanning Music Store and makes big profit selling his own records. Pat Tyrell has been around the world three times. She says, "I'll find a sucker yet!"

 The propescope clears and we have yet to see if it revealed the truth. Who knows?
