1962 Prophecy The Class of '62 was always considered very deep - therefore, it is not surprising to find that after 20 years they are really living off the deep end. Alan Coppock has been doing a great deal of undersea farming since all but 10°]o of his dry farmland has been placed in the soil bank. Alan finds underwater farming a bit more difficult but at least there is no dust, rust or drought to put up with down there. Not far from Alan's ranch, Harold Youncs is operating the ocean's largest mining company. Harold special- izes in anything that can be dug out of the ocean's bottom. Harold’s private secretary, Joyce Ledger- wood, said she finds this ocean mining just fascinating. Everything can be mined on the ocean floor she tells us and, although she is interested in the iron, gold, and oil, she still likes diamonds best. David Case has a successful business on the ocean floor, also. He goes around on his motor scooter collecting fish eggs marketed under the label Homogenized Caviar. To make David's egg collecting possible, Frank Carstens has designed a new air pressure system for the motor scooter as well as a periscope, which prevents David from causing an international incident by scooping up eggs on foreign territory by mistake. Jim Blackwell is working on the training of octopi which make very fine pets. Having always felt that additional arms would be a distinct asset to any young man, Jim regrets that he didn't begin this project 20 years sooner. A near tragedy was averted when after being swallowed by a large whale Sharon Schnei- der caused the whale such a case of indigestion she was quickly cast up on the Continental Shelf. Said Sharon, I may be on the shelf, but I proved something, I think. Peggy Funk has had much reason to be thankful for the music training at McEwen Hi, for she now directs a fish chorus. Peggy says it made her feel a little silly teaching do re me” to a bunch of mackerel, but she gets a great deal of satisfaction from her fishy act - the Squid Squirm. The great scientific observer Rolinda Morrison, has been employed by the Friends of Frustrated Fish Club to give lectures on how to protect man's best underwater friend. Her latest lecture was How to Keep Fish From Becoming Neurotic. Beverly McMillan, carrying on childhood hobbies, experiments in making mud pies in the briny deep. She says, If you really want a mud you can get the feel of, try the white calcareous ooze of the Carribean, which gives you all the pleasures of mud pie making without all of the color that sticks to your fingers. No one has heard how Casey Rushing's Top Secret underwater experiments have turned out, but rumors have it that he was seen rushing down about 10 fathoms trying to look like Mike Nelson and being chased by a school of mermaids. Casey has had trouble of this sort for many years and still he wonders, Why, oh why, can't the girls resist me? The nautical career of Denny Widener began right after high school when he joined the Navy, where he spent so much time hanging over the side of the ship. Upon his discharge from the Navy he joined the Underwater Observation Unit and now he spends his time looking up at the bottom of ships that pass overhead. All of the vehicles used in transportation on the oceanbottom have created quite a business for Ron Myers which he calls Ron's Rapid and Radical Repair Shop. Ron says that if these young hot rodders would just realize they were traveling in salt water instead of just plain old atmosphere maybe they would stop eeling around and salting up their motors. Lela Lieuallen, who is going about in the backward areas of Upper Manhatten and Backley, Boston, is teaching people how to prepare a delicious seaweed and snail casserole. Lela, a home economist, is employed by the Underseas Develop- ment Company. With such great food shortages on earth, Lela says that hunger is completely unneces- sary if the housewives will fry a little algae and chew blubber. After finishing the complete course at McEwen, the Class of '62 felt they had much to give the world and since no one on land would accept their contribution they did not hesitate to go right on to the lower levels where they became a success. Says Mr. Simpson, the former advisor of this famous class, Nothing has given me as much satisfaction as my association with this vital and stimulating class. Why, they made everyone want to go off the deep end.
