Senior Prophecy I am the Spirit of the Class of 1950 I have watched over this group now for many years. just yesterday, December 3, l97O, one of the class members joined me in my celestial palace and now we are preparing for a trip around the world to revisit his old classmates. Yes, Marvin Shaw has come to his reward. The Pest Exterminator Company finally got him. Won't you climb on a cloud and join us in our journey? Down we drift toward earth. Look down there at that fertile farm land. Why, that's Bob Conlins farm and theres Dr. Robert Graham, veterinarian, working on some of Bobs sick sows. Going on we see a snappy looking trailer whizzing along the highway. Thats the home of Ioan Gaffney. Shes happily married to a traveling account- ant. Walking along the same road we see a ragged, dirty, ill-dressed but happy bum, Leonard Wilhelm. Hes enjoying a life of ease. Our cloud carries us over that little city of Arthur. As we drift over one backyard we see a clothesline sagging under the weight of sixteen children's clothes. Roberta Hendrickson's abode, no doubt. We revisit our old alma mater. In the Social Science department we find Doris Hansen teaching. She's well liked by all her inmates. A new section is being added to the city, Lacey Acres. Francis Lacey has laid out and is building the beautiful section. Dick Robinsons funeral home is doing a thriving business here with the able assist- ance of Dr. Lydia Schlabach, who is practicing in Arthur. Our cloud flies away and soon we're in the nation's capital. Floating by a hotel window we see Nancy Pugsley. Shes here to accept nomination to become our first woman President. Interviewing her is that ace-on-the-spot reporter, Pat Brenda Starr Conlin. The largest church in the world is being dedicated here tomorrow. We park our cloud on the high spire and look down to see john Krummel who serves as janitor in this high ecclesiastical structure. john seems very happy in his church work. As our cloud drifts away from Washington, D. C., out over the Atlantic we see a gigantic ocean steamer returning from Europe. Theres Peggy Leathermann, well-known Met opera star. She's been singing the lead in the opera of that well-known composer, john Haney. The opera is Salome and Bye. Also on the ship is Horace Roamin' Romine. Hes returning from a lion hunt in Africa. He captures wild animals and brings them back for Delores Naugle's big wild animal show. Shes a very proficient animal trainer. Our cloud is drifting into Gay Paree. We pass over the world famous beauty salon of Mademoiselle Marilyn Lowe. Paris has simply gone mad over her American hair styles. Theres Betty Mattox, famous actress, getting a beauty treatment. Our cloud leaves the earth and we are heaven bound. OOPS! What's that thing that just whizzed by? Its a rocket. Don Yutzy, wealthy playboy, is financing rocket trips to the moon. Stewart Traxler is chief engineer. There among the passengers is Harlin jack Benny Turner, well-known comedian. The people here on earth don't respond to his humor so he thought he would try the ones on the moon. With that we leave my charges behind. I hope you have enjoyed the trip. Q SO 2
