CLASS PROPHECY The class of ’49 decided to buy a large television set that could record the future of each of the group. As we set the dial, this is what we saw in the fu- ture for each of us. Russel Pickett, we discovered, was a big-league basketball player. He was seven feet tall and wore shoes size 16. The only thing that kept him from being the best player on the team was his big feet. The next flash on the screen presented Professor Frank McCullough, B.D., B.A., etc, who is a great scientist. He has, for ten years, been trying to put a chicken in a gallon jug without breaking it. Jim North is the star pitcher on the New York Yankees baseball team. Dur- ing his career, he has pitched sixteen shut-out games. This is due only to his great dislike for women?! Next we see a large banner in the metropolis of Americus. Could it be possible? The banner exclaimed, ’’DALE GR1MSLEY, REPUBLICAN CAND- IDATE FOR PRESIDENT, This was a great surprise to the whole group. Dur- ing Dale's senior year he was definitely a Democrat. As the fog cleared away, who should come into view, but a tall, slim, beau- tiful, blonde-haired dancer. It was Gwendolyn Kerr, the sweater-girl of '47. Hubba.’ Hubba! Next in line is Bill Rollins. We see him as the kind and gentle custodian of A.H.S. Cleaning, cleaning. That’s all I get done, complains Bill. But if I don’t Jean (R) and the kids will go hungry.” As we look again into our television set, we see a streak of dust coming down the road. When it became visible, we saw that it was Carl DeWeese in his “hotrod. He slammed on his brakes with great gusto and started to light his twelve inch cigar. Aha! Who is this medium-sized man with his feet on a desk? Why, it’s Jackie Leffler, the gentleman farmer. His farm is so big, he has to hire ten men to do all the work. The person we see next is a tall, elderly gentleman. He is bald on top w;th a fringe of hair around his head. Yes, it is Professor Robert Dale Gordon, our senior sponsor. Next we see Mrs. Earl Miller, a nurse. Romona has been nursing four squirrels and a rabbit. She is the head nurse at the Animal and Bird Hospital of Emporia. Dalmer Daharsh, a traveling salesman, is going from house to house in Americus selling women’s lingerie. His wife, Ruth, and his two little “squirts are depending upon his income for a living. Dalmer would have liked to have done this when he was in high school. 8
