CLASS PROPHECY B! Dick Frederick, Jack Healey, and Betty Jo Cooper In the year 1959, the three of us were home for the July 4th carnival. Ie were taking in the sights of the carnival when loT' and behold! we beheld the sign before us 'Swami Riva'. Since we had been reminiscing over our old school highlights. About the time we saw the 'Swami' sign, we were talking about our first Junior and Senior Banquet and the old 4925s fthe gold diggersll. We then saw our chance to find out about our past acquaintances, so we entered the deep, dark, mysterious interior of the 'Swami Riva's' tent. le told the Swami of our wishes to know what our old forty niner pals were doing. This is the story that the crystal ball unfolded for us: We first found Delores as a nun in South America. The crystal ball is hazy when we ask if she's repenting for her sins. The crystal ball then took us to the far-off mistic East to the province of Quanta la Guesta. There we finally recognized Lee Qwoman -hater?J Hogle as a sultan with 500 wives. There veiled woman reminds us of Lila La Fluer, who has gained wide fame as a talented bubble dancer, with Bingling Bros. circus. I , what is this world coming to? In the same Blngling Bros. circut we found two more old acquaint- ances. One, Jim 'MAN MOUNTAIN' Brockway, the two fisted, two hundred sixty-five pound mass of muscles, who is billed as a strong man and weight lifter. The other old buddy has now gained renowed fame as 'Jughead' Jerry, the tightrope walker, We always thought that he would make a good TIGHTrope walker. The crystal ball then took us to Broadway in New York City. Outside of one of the elite theaters we saw the lighted margqee featuring 'Donald McLean--World Famous Ballet Dancer, who tripped? the light fantastic. We figured he got his start by dancing in a merry ring in an old high school operetta many, many years ago. Next we see in the crystall ball, a fair damsel by the name of Betty 'peddle pusher' Katzer. She seemed to be clrcumnavigating the globe on a bicycle. When she came to the first ocean that she was to cross, she seemed to be a bit perturbed as to how to cross on her bike until she found out that 'DUZ does everyth1ng'. Our next view of the 49ers is on a lonely atoll in the Pacific where we see Jay, a 10n.s0me'E3fm1t pacing up and down in front of his cave, thinking of the good ole days and wishing that Maisie, the mermaid would return. If only --------- oh! well! Speaking of Jay's experience with women we are reminded of an- other 49er classmate namely Bob Reel, who is now manager of a lady wrestlerT'Teaching them all his old HOLDS?? 12
