O SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ' April 30, 2002 My Dear Grandchildren, Last night I attended a re-union of the class of '52, I felt that I should put down on paper what l' found out at that re-union. I know that you should have, for further reference and history, the things I discovered at that banquet. In this class when we graduated were twenty young people. I met most of them again last night. As I sit here and recapture the pleasure of seeing them again l feel that you should have, in my words, a summary of their lives. I knew them and enjoyed them then, but now in my old age, I am de- lighted with their accomplislnnents. Of course, I still live in Cambria, no longer Cambria of old, but a new and delightful Cambria, located on clouds. The world grew so fast that there came a time in 1980 when there was no longer a place on the earth for all the people. Here, one of the members of the class, of which I am so proud, dis- tinguished himself by inventing a cloud. Plasti-cloud it has been called and you are familiar with it, having spent all your lives on one. Robert Fry, you 've heard of him, is the lucky person who thought of mixing chlorophyll and other gases and things, and going up instead of out. He freezes the rain clouds with this mixture and they harden forming a. substantial living space for the people of the world. It is a wonderful idea. You freeze your cloud in what ever place you like in this big, gorgeous sky and live happily ever after. We met last night at the D. B. Night Club, a gorgeous Plasti-cloud just over the La.ngan's garage. The club is owned and operated by Daria Bonomi, a member of this famous class. We 'met in the dining room at a beautifully set table. All of us sat and gazed at each other, so happy to be together again, to see and enjoy each other once more. Daria 's club is a hobby, of course. Her real interest and occupation is the High School. She is Prin- cipal thcre now and is doing a. fine job. Our first excitement of the evening was the entrance of Dorothy Menegon. Of course, I missed her at the table but thought she probably was detained. Dorothy is director of entertainent at Darials club. She sang for us, and although her voice is wobbly now after so many years of singing, it sounded sweet and good to all of us. Dorothy has had a fine life, metropolitan operas, Hollywood roles, and now in her old age, is doing the things she loves most of all-teaching other people to be happy with song. . Of course, we all know and use everyday one of the products of Vir- ginia Branco's brain-the Heddo-copter. The machine, which resembles a window box with wings. is small and useful and so easy to take care of. It folds up, bends, and can be stored in small spaces. It is ideal for slipping from cloud to cloud or down to earth when necessary. 'NVe congratulate her! Next we were reminded of Jimmy Soto's contribution to the new world. The din- ing room is beautifully decorated, plants and shrubs growing on the walls, in corners, on the ceiling, and even under the tables. Daria. rushed us all out to see the gardens, where we were shown the landscaped Plasticloud flowers, bushes and trees in every color and shape. Jimmy, of course, is the landscape gardener who first attempted gardening on the Plasti-Cloud. His fame has spread and now he decorates each cloud as it is formed. I-Ie uses a new sub- stance that comes in pill form. When watered, it grows into flowers, trees, etc.

You never know what it. will be when you start watering. lt grows anywhere. needs no soil, and never needs trimming or re-placing. It really is the most wonderful idea, and he 's made millions! My Plasti-cloud is strictly modernistie! Why? Because it is such a cinch to build a house nowadays. Bob Johnson, another classmate, has done him- self up proud, too. He has really made a place in the world for himself. Always interested in architecture and building, he invented a new building shortcut. lVall-O-Set, he calls it. Simply squeeze this hush-hushw substance from a tube onto the outline of your room and your walls are there. If you want an extra room, you buy another tube-step outside-take out your heddo- eopter, hover around and squeeze-new room-right color-and no trouble! You know me, I'vc always been so particular and would have nothing that did11't measure up to the latest. in fads, thatfs why my Plasti-cloud is so different. Knowing one of the world famous interior decorators gives one an Ninn. When needed, Jody McKie has always made time to redo my house when it begins to look slightly old-fashioned. Jody has done wonders, as we knew she would. Since these newer things have come out, Jody was ready and stepped right along. Take for instance the draperies we have that are so adaptable in most Plasti-homes. Soft and silky, when drawn, they can be seen through from the inside, but not from the outside. They assume the color you want by flashing a. lamp on them. Of course, the lamp is spectacular, too. It was invented by another person seated at that table tonight. Professor lValter Bernard discovered that certain rays from the sun could be condensed and rc- distributed through a globe he has perfected. It is used instead of paint or coloring of any kind. Simply flash this lamp on your material or wall or what- ever you want changed, and there is the color you most desire. A flick of the switch and it can be changed at once. However. XValter looked very sad and forlorn. lVhen questioned, he claimed that Charles Porte had again thwarted him! Taking this lamp he has murderously used it for purposes of his own. Charles runs the only Hamburger House left in this world. He daily puts this famous lamp to a plebian use. He colors his hamburgers a deep brown and serves them uncooked, thereby saving himself the cost of Cook-o-gas, the newest thing in food preparation. Cook-o-gas comes in small cartons. One merely opens the carton, holds the food near it, and it is instantly ready for the table. It is highly expensive but one no longer is bothered with stoves in the kitchen. f'Porky has made his contribution to the world, however, in a big way. His little Hamburger House is the hang-out of all the people who remember things as they Hused to befl Any day you can find Robert Canet, Charles Jones and Joe Bruin at the counter talking over old times. Robert has a Plasti-cloud just south of Cambria. Here he keeps all the hedd-copters in order. Of course, it isn't a garage, as that word is obsolete. It is a Re-hedda- plant where service is quick and satisfactory. One flies in, leaves his machine, zooms out in another, while Robert pours a new oil over all parts affected. lnstantly all is well, and the machine is ready for the next person who is hav- ing Hheddo-trouble. His assistants in this work are Charles and Joe, both experts. ln fact, they invented this new oil called Fixitnow and maintain a complete service for the machines in this locality. You no longer t'buy anything. . You pay a small monthly payment for everything you need or use. I must stop my writing for the moment as I am unable to keep my mind on it. l must listen to the Sunday service. Heavenly music-sent through the air and heard by everyone in their Plasti-cloud homes. followed by the regular Sunday morning sermon delivered by our famous Rev. William
