Senior Class Prophecy The U. S. S. Senior Class was awarded the honor of being the most outstanding cruiser ever to sail from America. Ronald Docherty, New York's famous Journalist, is covering the story for the SATURDAY EVENING POST. The head of our famous ship is Captain John Wyatt and wife Linda. Bruce Willet, the head steward, introduces his fellow stewards who are John Knipps, Jimmy Eddy, and Salvador Canchola to Mr. Docherty. Bruce then directs the reporter toward the engine room. Here he meets Tom Kite, engineer, and fel- -low workers, Stan and James Jones. Pat Patterson, recreational chairman, is responsible for introducing Mr. Docherty to the rest of the crew. She begins with the physicians, Mary Fowler and Karen Bowie. Next to be visited are the beauticians, Kay Dodd and Janet Ison. The barber is Henry Garcia and manicurist is Toni Walser. Those who were responsible for the fixing and serving of the divine meals consisted of: Larry Benham, chef; Emmet Wester, second chef; and waitresses. Carmen Lugo, Diane Bisbee, Pauline Otero, and Gloria Garcia. The trip's great pleasure was due largely to the recreational facilities and exhibitions which were at the fingertips of each passenger. The tourists were thrilled by the exhibition of tennis skill exhibited by James O'Brien and Eddie Mosier, world renoun table tennis champs. At the same time the patient shuffle-board instructor was fast approaching her wit’s end trying to teach Sylvia Sutton and David McDonald the game. Nancy Dusek is currently engaged in a losing game of tennis with Elsie Walker. Mary Rodriquez and Christine Luna are trying to learn how to swim from the instructor, Pat Chapman. In the bar, Mr. Docherty has just been served a fabulous concoction by the current bartender, Perry Theroux. The evening is made more pleasurable by the harmonious sounds erupting from the ship's luxurious ballroom. The marvelous orchestra consists of; Mike Gardner, director; Paul Larmour playing the stereo-micro-atomic triangle; Charlie Dean beating on his wild and savage skins; Steven Lopez playing his boogie woogie rag time piano; Howard Peterson picking on his old banjo. In the vocal department we have that fabulous, stupendous, idiotic Richard Wright. As the time marches on we see the ship drop below the kirk, below the hill, below the lighthouse top.
