THE TUSAYAN CLASS PROPHECY On May 31, 1968, the Class of ’48 met in Williams, Arizona, for a class reunion. The class met at the new restaurant cn Bill Williams Avenue and the meeting was called to order by the former senior class president, Marc Smith. In his opening remarks Marc said, “We are gathered here today, twenty years after our graduation from Williams High School, for our first class reunion. Nearly all of us have been out of touch with each other for the past twenty years and, therefore, I am going to ask each member to stand and tell the rest of the class in what occupation he is now engaged and what his plans for the future are.” At this point A1 Jo Suncelia stood up, all 330 pounds of him, and «aid, “President Marc, I have talked to every member of the class before the meeting started and I find that none of them are satisfied in their occupations.

Two weeks later the class of ’48 met in the Mojave Desert where the Outer Space Streetcar Company had erected a station. Every member of the class was well supplied with materials, goods, ar.d equipment to set up businesses on Mars. The Outer Space Street Car departed on time and the Class of ’48 was launched on a new life. On arriving on Mars everyone immediately begin to look for new jobs and places to start a new life. Right away Carl Curry and Gary Massey found a very exciting position. Due to the fact that they had always been lovers of nature, they secured a 2-year contract to catch butterflies of a r. re species. They were entirely invisible except for their eyes, that is the butterflies were invisible, not Massey and Curry. What a job! But they both seemed very well satisfied until the Martians decided that people 10
