PROPHECY The Crusaders, graduates of 20 years ago, took a tour through Widney High School on January 17, 1977. It was part of the Back to School Week declared by Superintendent of Schools, Shawn Solomon. Almost everyone was surprised at how Widney had changed. The only ones who weren't were Joe Gonzales, architectural engineer and Robert Andrade, draftsman, who designed the school. Joe did most of the talking as they toured the building. As the Crusaders passed the loading ramp, Joan Wagner commented. Look at those new buses. You know they get their gasoline from the air. They have a special condenser installed by the Beckerman Oil Co. It was Ronalds own idea. I know. I work there. Well, I didn't do all this myself , said Ronald. These are Superpatsy School Buses, built by the Bailey Car Co. Patsy helped me work it out. l think we'd better go inside now, said Joe. There's a lot I want to show you. On their way in, the Crusaders saw the Mora Monument and read the plaque which said, For her help in making this building a reality, we give our humble thanks to her Most Supreme and Serene Maiesty, Grand Duchess Carmen of Lower Lichtenstein. Tears of gratitude came to the eyes of her Maiesty, who had flown over with her husband and twelve children. The children were being cared for by our school nurse Petra Flores. Now, continued Joe, Come into the music department. We really have a surprise for you there. You notice that you seem to grow smaller as you enter the department. That's so that we could get everything in. This process of making everything grow smaller is really a clever one. Rita Halliburton discovered it one day while she was experimenting with shrunken heads. Joe ducked as Rita waved an album menacingly. Luckily, he was saved by our music teacher, Gloria Molinari. Don't break that album, she shouted. It has recordings of all the great masters-Stravinsky, Caruso, Crosby and Presley. If any harm comes to Elvis-look outl Come on, l'll show you more of the Department. As they toured the Music Department, Shawn spoke: The Board is especially proud of this music department. It has every record ever made and every musical instrument ever invented. Petra has been taking lessons on the Central Lithuanian Kazoo here. I know, said Robert. She played Oh, Promise Me on it at my wedding. Sometime I'Il have to show you the movies I took of the ceremony. Bobby, exclaimed Patsy, You mean you took pictures of your own wed- ding? Yeah, I like to do things the hard way. Well, said Patsy, I guess that's not so unusual. When I got married the entire ceremony was performed in a school bus. This is all very interesting, said Joe, But let's see some more of the school. Let me show you the locker hall. Innocently they left the music department and entered the locker hall. As we go to press on February 1, 1977, they have not been locatedl
