Senior Prophecy Ahh — come in, come in. You wish to see into the future? Sit down. Make sure you're in a comfortable posi- tion. I have a feeling this will take a while. Comfortable? Good. Now put your hands on the table and close your eyes. I see a cloud forming now; think of somebody specific. I’m getting a hazy image ... I see Colorado —land — cows — machines. Ah„ I see Lynn Phillips. In ten years he will own 1000 acres, registered paint and quar- ter horses, and a large herd of cattle. I see large semis for hauling livestock to market. They’re part of the Phillips’ trucking line. They contract with Butch Kelty, owner of the largest food producer in the world. Now I see diesel mechanic Mike Klenda hard at work. He's employed by Colo. Kenworth. Now I see more land ... miles of highway. It's Keith Hatch driving his trucks across Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Kansas. Now I see computers .. . Mark Wissell, who is a computer engineer, likes to race his four-wheel drive vehi- cles. In his spare time he runs a 3,500 sheep ranch.I see a hospital, a small town. Lorn Horton is working and caring for two lovely children and a husband, too. Richard Kees, a multi-billionaire playing defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, coaches during the offseason. Also, there's Mark Von, manager of a famous NFL football player. He spends his summers at a big business firm in Switzerland. Mike Page is in view; he's the coach of the L.A. Lakers team. Doug Peden has become famous in his profession ... whatever it is. He’s living with his very loving wife. Maria Feller, has been working side by side with the most famous man in the world, travels all over the globe with him and enjoys life. Matt Harman has come into view. He is a world renowned lawyer employed by HHH III. He runs an estate on the Riviera in France and a private resort in Tahiti where he now resides on a 4 year vacation. I see Jesse Karlson who seems very happy being an engineer in S. California . . . that’s all I see on Jesse but I do see someone close by, probably in N. California. It’s Melanie Nichols, now married and living in Las Vegas, making the bucks being a pro model. I've gone blank. Are you all right? A little tired? Just hang in there; we're almost finished ... I think. Now concentrate. A picture is forming again. It's Veronica Byers; she seems to be an accountant for a very large firm. Oh, it also looks as if she has a partnership in that very business. Look! There’s Katie Falsetto in her convertible driving up to her mansion. At her side is her loving husband. Now I see Tom Lyons finishing up a monument on Sunnyside in memory of the 1981 graduation party. He’s been there quite a while. Penny Walker is living the life of Dallas with one of the richest men in the world (J.R.) Speaking of Dallas, Karl Encke is now the man who judges the girls who are trying out for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader squad. Also, in Dal- las, is a most famous dating service owned by Jack Pfertsh. It’s becoming very fuzzy, I see water... it must be the ocean! Now I see some land ... it’s Hawaii; we’ve traveled to the island in just six seconds. I see two people that look familiar. One is on a surfing tour and he’s on a wave now ... beautiful... great. Oh, excuse me. I forgot I was telling you what's going on. It’s Alan Horn- berger on the surf... he’s making big bucks on this tour. The other is Sondra Wachler who owns redwood hot tubs and spas on the island of Maui. More ocean .. . we've stopped ... We seem to be at a very famous ski resort in Switzerland owned by Michael Harvey, a very respected man. Christi McEwen is skiing there today. She’s on vacation, seeing all of Europe. Bridget Brockway now owns a mansion for she has a very big salary from MGM studios... We’re traveling again ... I see the green of the ocean, the waves, the storms ... now the water is getting more shallow onto the land form known as Africa. Wooo ... Wow ...! I can’t believe it. Vickie Eldridge is mak- ing new hairstyles for the Africans ... and making millions! Very close by is Dianna Icke in a desert all alone with her harem of thirteen males. It’s fogging up again ... we must have moved to a new land form, Australia. Kathy Keck is living there with her husand and his dog. They look very happy ... I see no more ... that’s it. Who may I ask were you thinking of? Oh the class of 1981! That was a very interesting story; thank you for your time. 19
