Class Prophecy It is the year 1980. Ray Junior, Gus and I, Blondie, are traveling through the Sahara Desert searching for lost Pyramids. We have been without food or water for hours and the sun is beaming down on us. We can feel our bodies becoming weak and our minds weary. Finally we can go no further, we sit down to rest. Gus and Ray have blacked out. In my mind I see things out of the past. I remember meeting my former classmates as we were traveling over the U.S.A. on our way to the desert. Much to our surprise we found Walter Schroader, who is now manager of Calumet Farm, the largest in Kentucky, and is now training his famous race horse, Spit Fire , for the Kentucky Derby. As we travel to Nevada we go into a doughnut shop there and we meet two more classmates, Wilda Moody and Nancy Lee. They are perfecting a holeless doughnut for people who want to get their money's worth. We leave the doughnut shop and we see a sign reading, Fortunes Told By Madam Hale . We find that it is none other than our classmate, June Hale. June tells us that another classmate, Dee Bogard, has married and is living with her husband and four children in Dexter, Kentucky. We move over to Texas to take in the Texas State Rodeo and who did we see first, but Joel Tex Jackson, on Blue Flash . He is competing for the cowboy champion- ship of the world. As we travel through Colorado we meet our former classmate, Dan Cain, in Denver. We find that he is the owner of Cain's Cadillac Sales , which is the largest Cadillac Agency in the world. He told us he has just got the contract to deliver the new Cadillac for the President of the U.S. at the White House. Dan tells us our old classmate, Faye Oldham, has just received her R.N. from Belleview Hospital in New York. She is in New York while her husband is in the Army. Then we move over to California. There we stopped at a restaurant in Santa Monica to have lunch. Who should be the owner but Marjorie McCuiston, who is operating the restaurant until her husband returns from the Air Force, then they will go back to Kentucky and farm. fContinuedJ

Class Prophecg We traveled to the coast where we met my old friend, J. C. Barnett and his lovely Wife, the former Doris Graham. J. C. is now owner of Salt City Fishing Fleet largest fish- ing fleet in the world. Doris is now President of the ex- clusive Salt City Ladies Club. We came to Los Angeles and as we looked through the Los Angeles Times we happened to notice that the editor is none other than Dwain Herndon. He has been the editor of that paper for the last five years. We find his star reporter, Ann Ross, is now enroute to Paris to meet With a famous Paris designer, Allie Mae Vance, who will furnish Ann with a report on women's fashions for the coming year. A loud noise fills my ears, everything grows dim, and suddenly I feel myself being pulled back to earth. I find myself sitting in my own living room with my old pals Gus and Ray Junior, sound asleep over a game of poker. I wake them up quickly and we hide the poker cards because my wife, Frankie, and our twin boys have returned from shopping.
