4S WE GO FORTH CLASS PROPHECY It is the year 1962, the class of '52'' is holding their class reunion in the study hall at Echo High School. All at once there is a terrible racket coming up the stairs with someone hollering and the crack of a whip. It is Fred Wilson driving his cows up the stairs for he is supplying ‘the milk for the reunion. He is now running the Wilson Holstein farm. Someone yells, Look who s here and we all run to the window and look out; it is Darlyne Wattenburger getting untangled from her parachute on top of the gym. She just dropped in from United Airlines where she is the Stewardess of the year. Lary McAtee is the most prominent man among us as he now is head of the McAtee Optometrist Clinic and takes in $1,000,000 a week. No wonder, he sold us all a pair of $25 glasses for $100. He is really getting classy; he has seven days a week off from his office. We see a big flashy Cadillac pull up in front and guess who? Roy Rohde jumps out and up he comes. After leaving college he became one of the largest cattlemen in the state and he now has about 1000 head of registered Black Angus cattle. Next the great politician. Frank Young, comes in and he immediately jumps up on a desk and gives out a long and lengthy campaign speech in which he promises everything to everybody He is still as much against the Democrat Party as he was in the old days. He is running for the governorship in the next election. Dorene Davis is here also. As soon as she left school she went to a detective school and did so well that she graduated into the F B.l. She is on a case now. It seems as though someone had stolen a candy bar from the Pep Club two years ago and she has just tracked him down. Donna Snow has made quite a name for herself, she owns the night club known as Goldies . She bought the place and built it up until now it is one of the biggest clubs in the West. People come from all over ‘rhe United States to taste her famous beer. She says that she wouldn’t drink the stuff if she was paid to because she knows what is in it. Now enters Beverly Clark who is working as a beauty operator. She tells us that she is waiting for Uncle Sam to let go of her married life. As we are talking to those who have already arrived, we suddenly hear some of ‘the hottest jazz music in the land, played in rhumba rhythm. It’s Sis Ramos, her booming baritone, and her all boy orchestra. She is now playing every night at a great night club known as Goldies . She says she really likes the work. Over the shrill of the music we hear a scream from half a block away and we know that Jeane'tte Deal is quietly talking to someone. We've heard her gum snapping since she left Portland so we knew she was coming. Upon arrival, she tells us that she is now running the Love Life Problems Column in all the newspapers. We know she always was a good authority on love life. As we hear the familiar shout of hey we open the window and in flies the famous Aeronautical Designer, Jerry Myers. He has just finished designing a plane that folds up small enough to come through a window, so took this way of demonstrating it. After he gets in he shows us how to fold it clear up into a cane, which he must have to walk with as his last fold-up plane really folded up and he broke his leg. He tells us that he finally sold his green Ford and bought himself a new 88 Oldsmobile, his dream of dreams, while he was still in E.H.S. As we look over the class, we find there is one missing, this being Dayle Highley As we hear the roar of a freight train we know that he is about to arrive. Dayle rides the freight trains to be safer as he is now an income tax collector for Uncle Sam. As he comes in he reminds us that it won’t be too long until tax time again. Now that we are all together again, we go out to the cafeteria to have tips and noodle, which we all love very much and rhen we will take off for the big city of Echo to celebrate. Klute Rocket
