SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was all so strange! It seemed practically impossible for a person to have such a dream as the one I had. It all happened night before last. I was in my room listening to my radio when I dropped into a deep slumber. When I awoke I suddenly realized that I had had a dream of each and everyone of my classmates of the graduating class of '59. I remember it all very plainly. The dream was just as though it were all true. Maybe it was. Yes, maybe I prophesied the future of my Senior Class. I distinctly remember that the year was “1989. The first persons I remember were Charles Arnold and Robert Bertram. It seemed as though Charles had become the manager of Robert, who was known as “Bomb Shell Bertram, and who hadn’t lost a fight in ten years. Next, I saw Dale Bachman, who was the president of his well-known organization for girls called “Bachman’s Charm School’’ with Jean Roberts as his leading associate. Then there were Ron Bauer and Larry Dunn, who owned their own taxi service which was very successful; only I understood they were having a little argument over which was more durable, Plymouths or Fords. Gary Bierman was manufacturing car cushions for people who found it difficult to reach the car pedals. Jeanette Bowers, who had just recently been discovered by Hollywood, was playing the leading lady of “The Great Dracula.’’ Betty Carter had her own champion baseball team in her home-town, Falls City, and I understood they called themselves the “Home Run Bear Cats.’’ Ronald and Donald Dodds had just recorded a new record which was an old favorite called “Me and My Shadow,’’ which I understood was climbing to the top. Elaine Clark, Carolyn Ebel, and LaRhue Ramsey were the members of the Falls City High School with Robert Franklin as their superintendent; I understood they had nothing but honor students. Paul Fisher had become the World’s Greatest Lion Tamer for the Ringling Brothers Circus with Kenny Smith as his assistant. Elaine Dorr had just finished her book on “How to Eat and Digest Your Food Properly,’’ for those who desire to grow strong and healthy. Raymond Kirkendall, “Pete’’ Kirkendall, an y Ronnie Wissman had had their fill of girls and had left for the Foreign Legion, never to return. Barbara Goodell was running her own drugstore for ADULTS ONLY. Dick Pickard and Maynard Speers had risen from bell boys to managers in one of the world’s most exclusive hotels. Guess it pays to be Bell Boy, doesn’t it? Deanna Stevens had just been given an academy award for her outstanding acting ability. For a cheaper and more convenient way, Ron Kelley, Larry Stednitz, Dennis McBride, and Roger Still were still trying to pave a short cut to the Kansas border. Carolyn Iwig and Doranne Schmidt were still trying to find a way to get off the farm. Beverly Vaughn, Francis Lock, and Carol Nanomantube had become respectable members of the Ladies Aid in Hiawatha, Kansas. I understood that Melva Williams and Nedra Winsor owned the biggest horse ranch in Texas. Raymond Huebner and Bob Meinzer, who had once been little boys on the farm, had become two of the world’s leading scientists. Georgia Kirkendall had produced a new type of chewing gum called “Snappymint especially for those who get carried away with their gum chewing. Ona Klema had her own T.V. show, in which she answered any questions on the World Affairs. Larry Kulhman and Eldon Vonderschmidt were the idols of all little kiddies mainly because of their Huckle-Berry Hound T.V. Show. Virginia Stalder was the mother of ten little red-haired kids. Poor Virginia, oh well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Judie Sickel’s little giggle was worldly known as the Woody Woodpecker’s famous chuckle. I understood that if anyone was in need of a good, dependable baby sitter they were to call Bill Von Seggern. They said he was the best. Joan and Marion Liebsch had just finished a book on “How to Get Along with Sisters.” Ronnie Schuetz and Peg Sailors had finally come to the end of their mad-dog killing. I understood that their trial was due any day. Willie and Wallie Piper were running their own gymnasium for Better Body Building. Darrell Rhod was selling hot tamales in Tijuana, Mexico. Mary Robb was manufacturing “sickles” for those who desired to keep the weeds out of their gardens. Shirley Ruch and Harriett Murphy had just won awards for being the most oustanding housewives in America. Patty Dean had become one of the world’s most outstanding opera singers. Barbara Cochran had just invented a rubber car that bounced off any objects that got in her way. Deborah Wise was the secretary for Falls City’s KTNC Radio Station.
