Senior Class Prophecy Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Having been asked by a very dis- tinguished person to foretell the future of the Bethel High School graduating class, I am making a special broadcast tonight regarding the members of that outstand- ing class. Imagine yourselves living in the year 1973. After a hard day's work, you've come home to relax, turned on the television set to see and hear the Crystal News, presented by Professor Future Time and his crystal ball. The first one to come into view is Mrs. Tony Hunolt, the former Margaret Pickett. She has recently been elected president of the W. B. B. D. QWomen's Basketball Directorsj. Mrs. Hunolt is the wife of the famous professional basket- ball player, Tony Hunolt. The Hunolts live in Chicago and are the parents of three children- As basketball does not seem to be providing enough excitement for the Hunolt-family, they are planning a vacation trip to Africa to capture leop- ards and rattlesnakes for the Lincoln Zoo of Chicago. Next we see the world's most famous daredevil racer and stuntsman, Jim Morrison, and his crew of twenty daring men who will appear at the Minneapolis Speedway, June 29, to perform breathtaking leaps off a 125-foot ramp, The Suicide Dive, The Bomber Special, The Human Battering Ram, and other death defying feats. Mrs. Morrison, the former Janis Smoot, will perform some of her daring and brave deeds as Queen of Daredeviltry. Their twin sons, Donald and Ronald, and their older son, Grover Cecil, are very proud of their parents and at the ages of four and six respectfully plan to follow in their parents ' footsteps. On their next trip home, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison plan to buy a partner- ship in the Squirt Bottling Company. Jim thinks he can save money by this move, since his sons are so very fond of the beverage. Well, you folks are sure going to get fooled on the future of Leland Dodd. Everyone thought he would probably be in the army like his older brother, but it seems as though Leland kept out of the army just as he always kept out of every- thing at school, even though he was almost always the one who had committed some questionable deed. Leland is now the world's best producer of cartoons which are equal to those of Walt Disney- Starting next month, all of the latest cartoons will be labeled, A Leland Dodd Production. He attributes his great success to the fact that he so avidly read all available comic books during his high school years. Captain Donald Forman of the Transatlantic Airlines today was credited with saving all those aboard the plane he was piloting. It seems as though he ran into a fog, but Captain Forman took a chance and landed his plane on a rough field near St. Louis, Missouri. Even though one landing gear was ripped off the big plane, all passengers escaped uninjured. Captain Forman's wife, the former Cheryl Simpson, is the noted opera singer, Madame Cheryl. Their nine year old daughter, Maureta Elaine, has already been seen in two Broadway shows and plans to be an actress on the legitimate stage.
