We realize we are stepping out into a big. almost frightening world, leaving our childhood and old familiar friends and teachers. What lies ahead for us? Fun? Adventure? Work? Sorrow? Let us dust off the old crystal ball and peer for a moment into this mysterious future. The picture I see is a little hazy, but just a moment, its coming into focus. Now I can see it - there's a big crowd - people in evening dress, tuxedos, and mink coats. A hush falls over the crowd as a young man steps into the flood lights, raises his trom- bone to his lips, and fills the hall with a beautiful melody. The face of this famous entertainer is familiar, but I can't quite place it. Let be borrow a copy of the program of course I know him. It's the talented Donald McFall who graduated with the class of 1960! As the last mellow note of the trombone solo folds away the picture changes. I hear the lowing of many cattle in the distance. The picture turns. I see a beautiful rambling ranch house, many buildings, row after row of ranch machinery and equip- ment; but now the picture has stopped moving. I see a tall thin young man dressed in western clothes and bronzed by the sun and wind. He's standing on a hill, gazing thoughtfully out over his vast expanse of green pasture, admiring his herd of black An- gus. Who is this prosperous young rancher? It must be - it is - our old pal, Paul Wolever. As I share the feeling of satisfaction and contentment with Paul, suddenly I am startled by a shadow fleeting across the picture. The ranch fades quickly away, and in its place we have only the trails of vapor left by a maneuvering twin jet plane. Again and again he almost disappears over the horizon, only to appear again. It's almost as if he is performing for me. He's writing something in the sky. He's spell- ing out in perfect letters, Greetings, Larry Held. The picture doesn't seem to be moving, but the vapor is settling to the ground. It's changing from white to grayish black. I see a billowing cloud of dust and smoke coming up from the middle of a race track. I hear screams as the crowd jumps to its feet in the bleachers - out of the cloud of dust and smoke they are dragging a man dressed in a racing jacket; goggles and helmet still on his head. A wheel of a racing car settles in the field across the fence after a final bounce. Is the man hurt? Who is he? The loud speaker blares the announcement out over the crowd, Ladies and Gentlemen, Please keep your seats. Driver number 13 has been rescued from his rac- ing car. He is Kenneth Skraback from Snyder, Colorado. After brief preliminary examination it looks as if Kenny has suffered only twisted shoulder. This boy is lucky to be alive!” The crowd pushes forward, trying to get over to comfort the still dazed driver. A squad of motorcycle cops race up to hold back the surging crowd. The captain of the group shouts forth his orders, and arrests the movement of the crowd by the piercing blast from his whistle. I know that captain, it's Kenny Becker! Suddenly the scene changes abruptly. A vast rippling desert stretches as far as I can see. There is a big black limousine gliding across the shimmering ribbon of a road. In the front seat are two important-looking men, apparently in the middle of a most serious discussion. In the back seat, under the brim of a sun helmet and behind a pair of dark glasses, I see a young girl busily jotting down notes on a short hand tablet. It is Linda Williams. She said she planned to go to business school, but who would have thought she would become a private secretary to the U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia? I watch, the rippling sands turn to drifting snow. The gliding limou- sine stretches upward to become a blocky two-story dormitory. We move toward an upstairs window, and come to focus in a little 9 x 12 room. There at her desk in the corner sits Ella Mae Baughman, shivering in spite of the heat that can be seen radiat- ing from her little coal heater. She is pouring intently over her Jamison-Faucet and Brown commentary on the Bible. A colorful jacket laid carelessly on the bed tells us that Ella Mae has realized her fondest dreams. She is a student at Prairie Bible Insti- tute in Alberta, Canada. As I take in the scene, she turns and greets me softly. Even as I lean forward to answer, the picture begins to fade. We are moving toward a col- lege campus. The pepper trees, the palms, the beautiful shrubs, and displays of roses and poinsettias tell me that this is California. Yes, I see the sign welcoming us to the Nazarene College in Pasadina. There is a familiar figure hurrying toward the library, loaded up to the chin with important looking books. I'd know that stride anyplace. It couldn't be anyone else than Ava Thompson, intent on the pursuit of higher learning. I watch until there's nothing left but the murky gloom inside a life- less crystal ball. With a sigh I force myself back to the world of today, the year of our Load, Ninteen hundred and sixty . . . Kenny Skraback wills his adventures at Boys' State to Walter Amack. Paul Wolever wills his ability to get along with the teachers to Jeff McCurdy. Kenny Becker wills all of his old history exams to Van Clay. Linda Williams wills her loudness to Sharon Peterson who is so quiet? Don McFall wills his promptness to Daniel Reyez who is never on time. Ella Mae Baughman wills her office job to Dianne Young. Larry Held wills his big feet to Sharon Roth. Ava Thompson wills her ability to study to Adelbert Kumke. Kenny Skraback wills his persistenceness to Carolyn Clauson. Paul Wolever wills his ability to change the subject to Johnny Barbosa. Kenny Becker wills his excuses for staying out of school to Bob Holzworth. Linda Williams wills her largeness to James Thompson. Don McFall wills his co-operative spirit to Karen Williams. Larry Held wills his attendance medal to Sharon Anderson until he can afford a diamond. Ella Mae Baughman wills her quietness to Linda Keener who is SO violent. Ava Thompson wills her long hair to Twyla Bishop. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1960 WILLS ITS WONDERFUL TRAITS, OLD GUM, AND SUN FLOWER SEEDS TO ANYONE WHO WANTS THEM.
