CLASS PROPHECY ANTARCTLA CELEBRATES TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF INHABITABLE CONTINENT Parksville, Antarctica, June 7, 1974 Today the continent of Antarctica is celebrating its tenth anniversary as being an inhabitable continent. The highlight of this celebration was re- cognition of the leaders in the settl- ing of this continent. Strangely e- nough the prominent leaders were the graduating class of 1954 from Big Island High School, Big Island, Va. , U. S. A. The settling of this continent was made possible by the- genius Macon Putney who invented a giant air con- ditioner unit which is suspended in the stratasphere by permanent gas chambers. This unit enables the combining of hot and cold air result- ing in a complete mild climate. Mr. Putney is now Professor of Aeronau- tics at South Point, Ant. LeRoy Arthur, the dentist in this group, may have ended this profess- ion by discovering a chemical in An- tarctria that can be given to children so that as the child grows he will be assured a perfect set of teeth. Mr. Arthur has built a beautiful resort by one of the colorful falls in Antarctia which is named after his beloved Coleman Falls . Mrs. Carrington Von Baron bet- ter known as Peggy Bulis, President of the University of Antarctica has established a world famous Univer- sity. A survey of 1960 showed the ideal school according to the stu- dents. This university was modeled by this survey. Thousands of stu- dents have to be rejected each year because of the popularity and lead- ership of Mrs. Carrington Von Baron and her School. The Picketeer, the most fabalous nightclub in all Antarctica, is owned and operated by Betty Goff. The fea- ture attraction is a famous band and dance team conducted by Miss Goff ' s fiancee, Lou Pluchino. The dance team is composed of the previous couple. The Antarctica version of the Minn. Lakers is James Turpin ' s (Quintets. This famous five performs weekly at the Willis Memorial Gym- nasium during basketball season. What makes them so unusual is that they are actually Turpin ' s quintet sons. A familiar sight in Antarctica is Turpin cruising by in his 1974 Cad- illac on his way to a modern con- struction job where he is chief en- gineer. It is necessary for each contin- ent to have a patrol. system. Head of Antarctica is Captain Lloyd Video Phillips. D u e to his su- perior workmanship and that of his patrol this continent is free of cri- minals. In the future, Captain Video Phillips hopes to extend his system over the entire world. After the completion of the Oliver Memorial Hospital, Miss R a c h e 1 Farley was asked to accept a position of the staff at Oliver Memorial. She formerly held a high position at John Hopkins. Miss Farley ' s private life is as full as her professional life keeping house for her two children and husband, Demeritris de Villeo. No continent would be complete without a movie industry. Corres- ponding to Hollywood, U. S. A. is Eherhardt, Antarctica. The leading male star and founder of the movie industry of Antarctica is Earl Dean H e n s 1 a y who has had previews all over the world. Earl ' s latest fan- tasy has been Debbie Reynolds of Hollywood, U. S. A. To ease the complex transpor- tation system Charles Casto has pat- ented the Bird-Mobile. This is the only atomic propelled car of its kind. He a 1 s o operates the greatest bus line on Artarctica. The Red-Hill- Charlemont Bus line is the most eff - icient and convenient in the world. It ' s conveniences include TV. snack-bar and beautiful hostesses. Sports take an active part in An- tarctica too. One of the leading sports is auto-racing. An ultra modern race track on the outskirts of Parksville is owned and operated by Norma Burks. A familiar sight at the track is a 1974 yellow jaguar driven by Norma. Seldom does she compete in the races as her suberb driving would discourage the other entries. Appearing recently at the Harris Latin Opera was Miss Joyce Ann Camden. Miss Camden was a former

MACON COBBS PUTNEY To get an education has been The Nature of his mind. But to sports and fishing He seems much more inclined. JAMES NORTON TURPIN A person on whom Everyone calls. He ' s most often found Around Coleman Falls. TO THE CLASS OF 1954 We love the hours together spent Some tears of course were shed. We face the future confident In what lays out ahead. We ' ve had our sorrows and our strife We ' ve had our ups and downs. But well we know that in this life A cross proceeds the crowns. And so we face the future years Determined to succeed. In spite of all the pain and tears Or where the road may lead. Our heritage is much too great Our freedom much too sweet. For us to fail at any rate Or entertain defeat. Some storms may rise the sun to hide To obscure the course we take But others too have stemed that tide We ' ll follow in their wake. The tide runs high and sometimes low It always has been thus. We ask no favors but to know The world is fair to us. c. w. c. - 9 -

star of the Metropalitian Opera of the United States. When Miss Camden is not singing you will find her taking Latin at the Clenon Thacker High School. From this interview it is easy to understand why Antarctica has pro- gresses so rapidly in such a short period of time. It well deserves its publicized anniversary and is cer - tain to progress as much in the next ten years as the past ten.
