SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY “It’s later than you think” — This old phrase hit me one day when I was wondering what the old days back in 1958 were like. I think I saw it in the Trans-planetary Paper which was called the Omaha World Herald in those days. This headline above a picture of land, cars and houses in the future seem out of place in this age of 1988. Everything happens so quickly you wonder how a man could read and realize what is going on on the planets. The little town of Falls City, Nebraska, has much credit due to it for the education it gave to the class of 1958. Why you would be surprised at what some of those classmates of mine are doing now. I would say they almost run around the world. The great skills and professions of that class turn the wheels of progress now. Just sitting here on my foam rubber floor I can think of great names that came from that class of “58.” It doesn’t seem so strange now that they are famous but it would have probably seemed strange in those days. Just think of names like . . Helen Arnold, the world’s smartest animal doctor, who travels from this country to planets treating air sick animals. How about Marvin Arnold, who invented the feeds for cattle that make them produce up to 10 gallons of milk more a cow per day. It is said that he owns a feed factory, too. The Alice Bachman Pill Factory has been sued by the Margaret Franklin Pill Factory for claims of stealing a carrot pill formula which was discovered by Marilyn Hinz and known to be worth millions. Verba Baker’s General Mills finally did away with Betty Crocker. Marjorie Bauer and Edith Baudendistel are writing books on “Love with Moon Men.” They are making a great hit with the women. Beryl Brown has just signed a contract to install colored Television telephones in all the homes in Falls City. Naomi Bedwell Brown has no comment on this fact. There has been a large amount of advertising about Nancy Zimmer’s new Magnetic Atomic Lipstick that lures the men to her as well as hangs on and doesn’t let them go. Roger Black, Bill Marx, Harry Vohl, and Merlin Martin must have thought they had something in common for they own the large new style car which is made of rubber so that when it runs into something it does not dent or hurt the driver or passengers. Doug Halbert has been in the construction business and has just signed a contract to have all back roads paved. Larry Vinsonhaler has just received a patent on his new built-in shoe deodorizer; Sharon McCoy Vinsonhaler says, “they’re the best!” Larry Law and Jerry Foster have established the world’s largest Body. Fender, and Motor Shop at Shubert, Nebraska, with all kinds of secretaries. Deanna Darling has established a date bureau. Modern Information Concerning any BOY. John Sauer is known to have the largest neon sign in the world advertising his motto, “Eat SAUER Kraut!” Leonard Rieschick is attempting to beautify our countryside by introducing the custom farmers of painting cows and pigs to match the landscape. David Wiltse, a famous lawyer, has recently been separated from his wife, Kathy Stucker, over a dispute about cats and dogs. Larry Noyes is president of the Chicago Cigaiette Mootcher’s Association. Jerry Little is now employed in the Bigger and Better Butcher's Association at Hinky Winky Dinky. Bob Person and his well known band are now trying to modernize and improve the New York slum district with his popular dancer and flute player, Janyce Bullock. Doris Simon manufactures Simple Simon Suckers for Tiny Tots. Bob Gibson’s Furniture Company is known world wide for its famous love seat. Karen Friesen is Walt Disney’s popular make believe singer for the Moon Kid Cartoons. She claims she owes her success to Mrs. Kinkead. Terry Robinson has now reached the height of his profession; he is the District Judge of the United States for Juvenile Courts. Richard Joy and Pat Thomas are doing very weli with their Root Beers. By the way, Jeannie Witt rock is the number one taster. Kenny Harper is now recording the 1958 hits and making a fortune. He is known as the return of Elvis Presley. Lowell Heineman and Donald Helmick are now professors at the University of Nebraska lecturing on American History. Sharon Cowperthwait and Reba Haushahn are known to be the world’s leading housewives because they had a head start on everyone else. Barbara Jahn owns and operates the “Jahn Diaper Co., Inc.” Richard Johnson, well known psychologist and physiologist, is now studying a way to study hile asleep. Huford Gibson who still lives in the cemetery is known by everyone as the writer of weird stories. Leo’ Koester is going to court to prove to Gail Gerlt that Fords are not made of what they used to be made of. Cheri Drumm and Roxanne Kirkendall are still seeing who can get the most husbands in the shortest time.
