PROPHECY OF THE JUNIOR CLA SS OF 1953-54 I am very sorry but due to the fact that my husband is in Alcatraz, he could not be present tonight to read his version of the prophecy for the Senior Class of 1953-54. Due to all the questioning that he received during his trial, I was beginning to fear for his little bit of mental balance. This is the reason that we were in the office of the famous psychiatrist, Dr. U. R. Nutty, for one of his famous treatments. Dr. Nutty decided to put my husband's tired mind into the past and see what was troubling him, but for some strange reason his mind went into the future ------ He said: I see a neat little cottage with the name LOVE CITY LAUNDRY on the mailbox. After a successful year in the Metropolitan Opera, Patricia kindly consented to return only to the prosperous city of her high school days. I see Donald Mart lazily rocking the triplets while Patricia weighs the incoming laundry. In the uptown section of Alto I see a large grocery concern with the sign ALLEN AND SONS fall thirteen of themj. On closer inspection I see that Glenda Smith is in charge of the cash register. While I am talking with Buster, he tells me that Earl Dover won top honors in Madison Square Garden as a BRONCO BUSTERI ! I He is ably assisted in his career by his wife, Maggie, who won top honors as the world's best trick rider on her new horse, Old Sad Sack. I find that after ten years of constant work the Alto swimming pool has been completed under engineering ability of Sir Bobby Chapman who served as Chief Engineer in Africa under the Queen of England. On my tour of this munic- ipal project, I heard the applause of the crowd as the mighty lifesaver, Kenneth Dover, had just rescued LaVonne Collins who has been swimming for exercise and has now reduced to 165 pounds, I noticed that Terry Koraska, the king of the roller rinks, is making a public appearance at the U Will Fall Rink here in dear old Alto. Now I seem to be drifting over familiar territory, Dear Old A.H, S. The football field looks natural with Coach yelling at the football squad, but wait! That coach is Bruce Cumby, former player with the Chicago Bears. Then - who is that old bald-headed man sitting over there on the end of the bench? Why, it's Coach Waldie. When I asked him what happened to all of his pretty curly hair, he murmured, Why don'tLyou remember Mrs. Waldie. I entered the building and was graciously greeted by Mr. Boone who was there still teaching Plane Geometry, I-Ie told me that Miss Watters had retired and he had employed Zelma Price to teach English and Speech. After being graduated from Texas University, Zelma got her Masters Degree from Columbia University in New York. I heard much laughter and talking in the halls and upon my inquiry, Mr. Boone told me it was the Morgan twins, Susie and Franklin, who acted much as their father did when he was in school. As I left the building, which is now a six story affair, I stumbled over the broom which the janitoress, Mary Evelyn, had left there. Since the coaching job didn't pay much, Bruce had consented to let her help bring in money this way. While walking down Silk Stocking Avenue, I looked up and saw a huge neon sign, HOT SPOTS FOR BOBBIE SOCKS Holcomb and Holcomb proprietors. As I looked in, there was James Ernest greedily feeding the juke box and Jay Nita was dancing with that good-looking Leo Hicks. I entered the establishment and was greeted by our old schoolmates, Syble and Mildred. I inquired about my different high school friends, and they told me they were visited each Christmas Day by David Allen, who gave up the social life of Alto to become a banker in his beloved city of Rusk. Glenda Gayle, now his wife, uses the knowledge she acquired in bookkeeping and shorthand to help David Allen in the Bank. Looking over at a corner table, I see a man counting his pennies and mumbling to himself. I realize that is is Truett Maddux, a staunch bachelor and once the dream boy ot' A. H. S. Ouida lo is the cause of all of this by eloping with Seaman, Harlen Harrison, of the U. S. Navy. Ouida is now teaching in Greedy Gulch while her husband is at sea on the USS Lousey Flousey. Upon leaving this high class night spot, I find a taxi awaiting me. Who is driving it? Why it's Shirley Lenard. She tells me that she and Larry H. , now her husband, take turns driving the taxi and attending to Larry Jr. who is about the cutest thing you ever sawl On Sunday morning upon entering the church, I was amazed at the great number of young girls who were present until I looked up and saw who was the pastor. It was Rev. Roy Cumby. That explained everything! I And guess who was choir director - it was Mr. Cummings who had finally decided that the Agriculture job didn't pay enough so he had to take on choir directing too. On Monday I was wondering where I could spend my evening, and Shirley had recommended the ONE AND ONE- HALF RING CIRCUS, which.had just come into town. She tells me that Leroy is the master-mind, the wide awake, prosperous genius of the whole show. As I go in, I see a large crowd around a tent. Who is this fellow yelling? Why, it's Charlie Bridges! On seeing me, he invited me to see his world famous show which is now considered much better than Koraske's Vanities. At last Charlie is surrounded by beautiful women, his life long desire. As I enter the tent, I see that Sunny Terrell and Elmina Maynard are his leading ladies. After their great act, I hear a great commotion, why it's the Lion Tamer trying to make the King of the Jungle take his place with the other animals--and much to my surprise--I find that is is none other than Floyce Lindsey, who acquired the art by practicing on Terry Ted Moore in the gay old '50's. Then I heard the great three piece band, J ay Nita, Sunny, and Bobbie Sue, who were surrounded around by swooning ex-Jackets playing Alma Mater of dear old Alto High. I was just about to join in the song when I was shaken by the psychiatrist, Dr, Nutty, and he told me that he hated to awaken me because I was having such a wonderful time. If you are ever in need of a psychiatrist, I heartily recommend that you get someone other than Dr. U. R. Nutty, for I believe he really is NUTTY. Signed: JUNIOR CLASS - 1953-54
