Class Prophecy As I sit here in my battered desk in the study hall of Gregory High School thinking of the times, both good and bad, I hear the third period bell ring. As Don-na Dobesh and Midge Tlustos pass through the door they are follolwed by a large group of students, all with happy looks on their faces-except those who have just received a low grade.
