SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was the year 1984, and the life of a patent attorney was a dull and lonely one, as I was finding out. I was sitting in my office in Chicago waiting patiently for the next inventor to enter and declare his invention was the greatest ever invented, when the door opened and in walked a little man. He stratled me with plans to build a gigantic 3-in-l combination wheat combine, corn harvester and hay baler. I thought the man looked familiar, and upon questioning him, he turned out to be Duane Witt. As much as I knew this invention would benefit man tremendously, I could not patent his machine. I just did not have the heart to tell him no one planted wheat, corn and milo in the same field. The next inventor was no other than an old classmate of mine, Harvey Koenig, who had invented a marvelous machine with a unique set of earphones on it. By placing the earphones on your head you could concentrate and find out most anything you wanted to know. I thought since two of my classmates had already visited me, I would use Harvey's machine to discover what the rest of my friends were doing. With Harvey's permission I placed the earphones on my head and started concentrating like mad, after all what had I to lose? Bear with me now as I share with you this fabulous experience. First to Colorado, in Denver Phil Marsh was on trial for fraud. Phil was selling a book entitled, How to Make Money, and every page contained the sentence, Go to Work in a Mint. In the Grand Canyon, I saw a group of men crawling from the mouth of a cave and they were yelling, It's the end of the World. Sure enough it was the Bernie Boys, Joe Gist, Mike Castle, John Martin, Jon Fisher and Joe Von Seggern. They were very angry because their old comrade. Merle Bachman, had married Trula Buckminster, one time queen of that forgotten kingdom—Falls City. Next to California, in Hollywood, Louis Hansen and Steve Di Lorenzo were doing Homer and Jethro Corn Flake commercials. Bill Nelson was the screen's most dashing Ben Casey since Vince Edwards and Neeld Messier had taken Mitch Miller's place in the Sing Along Show. The T.V. show with the highest rating was Father Knows Best with Keith Arnold as Jim Anderson, Carol Allen as Margaret, David Fritz as Bud, Cheryl Rogers portraying Kathy and Martha Runyan as Betty. Playing in Sacramento was the Ringling Bros., Bar-num and Baily Cricus. Headlining it were April Rogers, Donna Kirkendall and Beverly Duerfeldt, in a death defying trapeze act. Muriel Byrom and Sheryl Hooper also were incorporated with the circus, they sold peanuts. In Los Angeles, the most talked about Bunnies of the Playboy Club were Pam Hatfield, Janice Kelly, Marliss Cramer and Andrea Zentner. The United States language interpreter in Chinatown was Pegeen Swise-good. Doing a seafood commercial in San Francisco was Judy Heinzelman who said, Tell 'em Charlie sent you and Only the Best is Good Enough for Star-Kist. At the Winternationals Drags, Carol Malick had just won top stock eliminator with a customized white '50 Dodge. Sitting next to the pit was Bill Dyblie, who was painting Weirdos on the backs of sweatshirts. In Buffalo, New York, I found Terry Grush running for President on the Independent Socialist ticket. Stanley Linderman was his running mate. Stanley didn't care much about it, but Terry insisted that Stanley's adorable red hair and cute face were wonderful for publicity. In New York, I also found a familiar face on the cover of Mad Magazine, it was Fred Deckinger portraying Alfred Neuman. Wrestling in Times Square was Gentleman Jim Wochner, better known as moose, who had no tenderness at all and showed no mercy to his opponents. Also in this big city I found the star pitcher of New York Mets, Jim Cummings, where I noticed the Mets had just finished another spectacular season. I found Larry Longacre in the New York Y. M. C. A. Since Larry hated indoor sports such as billiards, he was an acclaimed volleyball player. In Omaha, I found Richard McCann had taken over C. M. Neuman's place as the President of American Community Stores Incorporated. Ronnie Stevens was the head of the Omaha Stockyards whose new slogan was, You Can't Beat Our Meat. Living in Omaha also was the World Champion Big Game Hunter, Dennis Koso. Dennis had just endured a safari into the jungles north of Rulo and had bagged four grizzly bears, six caribou, two African elephants and nine mud hens. Incredible!! Next to Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia Jane Tubach and Danna Karsten were playing tubas in the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra. Playing in Pittsburgh were the famous folk singers Gary Taylor, Sam Grimes and Mary Marrs, known under their stage names collectively as Sam, Gary and Mary. Something pulled my mind to Moscow where I caught a glimpse of Patty Bindrum trying to convert the communists to Christianity. In Stockholm, Sweden, I caught sight of the world famous language expert Majorie Muller, who spoke fluently in Spanish, German, Bop and Pig Latin. She was awarding the Nobel Prize for the Abolition and Diminution of Standing Armies and the Formation and Increase of Peace Conferences,” to Barbara James, Kay Duey and Carol Zimmerman. When I tried to concentrate on Falls City, the machine trembled and nearly exploled. Something must be happening in Falls City I thought. And I was right. Homer Kirk had been impeached from office and Larry Gatz had replaced him. Larry, who loved to “get tough on lawbreakers, had just finished sentencing John Steinman to the Lincoln Penitentiary for ten years on six counts of polygamy. Katy Schweickert and Sally Roberts had finally gained control of the James Oil Company through a long-range plan originating way back in their high school days. Charlene German was married today for the fifth time. Gale Merz had become President of Studebaker Corp. and had combined 24
