CLASS PROPHECY Fiji Islands, May 21, 1965. To Everyone Who May Be Interested: On that memorable night exactly thirty-five years ago the twenty-first day of May in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty, forty-eight Seniors marched forth in royal banners on the stage of good old B. H. S. to receive their diplomas. That was a night which will never be forgotten, in fact the story has been blazed in red letters on the scandal sheet of the Chicago Herald Examiner. Everyone well remembers how proud the mothers and fathers were of their boys and girls when the evening was still young, then later came the climax—that fateful thing which happened that has caused so much distress. Nobody knew what caused it but everyone was aware of the fact that when the last person received his diploma the lights were shot out and everyone was in a frenzy until the lights were recovered. But lo! and behold! where were the Seniors? To this day they have been missing without a word as to their whereabouts. So I feel it my duty to relate to you just what happened that night, where they are and what they are doing. Just what happened to us is still a mystery but when we all came to we found ourselves stranded on a desolate island, scared to death and not knowing which way to go for help, hungry, with no food in sight. Could exams be any worse than this? But as I have not the time to tell you everything that happened in these thirty-five years, I will just tell you what we are doing now. Richard Hubbard’s gruff voice and cave man appearance had an enormous amount of influence over the natives and they immediately make him their King, but of course no kingdom is complete without a Queen, so Opal Briney’s winning ways soon won Richard’s heart and they were wed in the light of the moon by Ted Cooper who had studied the Clergy business by correspondence when he was a freshman in high school. Ted started at once to build his church and Clela Gates consented to be his organist because she won a national contest for playing on the linoleum when she was just a little girl. Dorothy Rawlins is taking dancing lessons from some of the native girls and in return she is teaching them the missionary movement. We always knew Dorothy liked dancing but not that well. Our scientific minded Paul Tice’s new invention has enabled us to have a Fiji dairy. With the aid of a long tube he milks the cocoanuts every night and during the day they will fill up again. If we get an over supply we will send you some. The monkeys took to Eula Crawford as soon as they saw her but she liked one monkey in particular so she named him Leo and made a pet of him. Arleta Gaston doesn’t get to use her musical talent here very much so to keep in practice she sings Ben Farrow to sleep every night. (Poor Ben, do you suppose he really goes to sleep ?)
