CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1950, Lucy Carrillo received a package from a friend in Japan. Lucy opened the package and found a beautiful pair of silk pajamas. No, wait, it was only the top half of a beautiful pair of silk pajamas. Fifty years later in the year 2000, it began to soak into Lucy's little head that something was missing. It also took this long for her to realize that she had not heard from her friend in Japan. Lucy called in her old classmates on January I, 2000, and presented them with her mystery of the lost pajama bottoms. Her classmates being on the average 68 years of age and retired from their respective businesses, decided to aid her in the search. Lucy had heard rumors that her friend had been on several of the Pacific Islands. Securing a list of these islands, she assigned each classmate to an island to look for her friend and the beautiful silk pajama bottoms. The class started for the Pacific in Lucy's jet plane. The first stop was at Honolulu, where the party spent a few days. When the group was ready to depart, Junior Pena had disappeared. The group left Honolulu without him. It was later discovered that Louis had become so infatuated with the scenery that he forgot his search for Lucy's silk pajama bottoms. In fact, he was so fascinated that he married a beautiful hula dancer, bought a grass farm, and spent the rest of his life growing grass for hula skirts. Junior Richards was so lonely for his family (nine kids and Lulu Mae) that he parachuted onto a little island named Kore and cabled for his family. He stayed there until he died of old age, forgetting the search. The searching party landed on Marquesas Island for a rest. At plane departure time Jimmy Burrage was missing. Since the group was in a hurry, they left without him. The last that was heard from Jimmy was that he owned a banana farm and had gained 249 3 4 pounds on his diet of coconut milk and bananas. Their next stop was at Jarvis Island, where they dropped Elmer Thompson. He became so enthusiastic over hunting that he forgot the search. He ran out of shells for his gun, but that didn't matter bacause there was no game on the island. He had no worries about food, for all he had to do was pick it off the trees. He became lonesome and started looking for a companion. He walked around the island 532 times but didn't find anyone. However, he tamed a shark and became satisfied with his buddy. Lucy next left Ray Bustamante on Samoa Island. While searching for Lucy's friend , Ray found a beautiful little grass hut that would make a perfect gas station. His gas station sold no gas so he began washing sarongs while-U-wait Janis Poison was left at the Fiji Islands. While searching for the friend she drank some coconut milk and finding it very good, she started a dairy and shipped coconut milk to San Francisco. After she had poisoned half the population of San Francisco, she decided that she was a failure and needed the help of an expert. Marilyn Dobbs was left at an island named Ellice. She became tired of the search and built some kennels to raise fox hounds. Finding that there were no foxes on the island, Marilyn would run through the coconut trees and let the dogs chase her. Marjorie Huff was left on Santa Cruz Island. She was born tired so she didn't even start the search. Finding that there were no busses on the island, she opened a bus station. All day long she would play the juke box and the marble machine and pretend she was waiting for a bus. No bus ever arrived which made her very happy. The plane stopped in New Zealand for a rest, and Patty Legan explored the island. She found that there were no cowboys on the island, and this Patty could not sta.nd. She decided to stay there, and shipped in several herds of horses and cattle. She began teaching the people how to ride and rope and how to put on a rodeo. The people loved it so much that the rodeo became their national sport. They left Ruth Sanford in Australia. Ruth began the search, and while she was searching, she noticed how strong the kangaroos were and that they liked to box. Boxing being one of Ruth's favorite sports, she built an arena where people coflld go every Saturday
