CLASS PROPHECY Ten years ago, in 1946, no one would have thought that such things could come to pass: long range space ships had been invented and put to use. I decided to take a short trip to the moon. Maybe I should say a long trip to the moon. Upon reaching this queer place, I found that all was turmoil and confusion because of the invasion of a group of human beings. These people were the seniors of 1946 at Birdville High School. When I stepped from my ship, I noticed a commotion nearby and walked over to investigate. The mischievous one 'Was James Fulkerson, who had tried to put out the light that made the moon glow. I walked up the street, and as my mind was full of other things, I wasn't aware of whom I was about to encounter. I came immediately upon the street cleaner. To my amazement I found myself face to face with Raymond Fetter. He was having some difficulty cleaning out the deep craters which kept filling up with report-cards lost by the Birdville students from Earth. Raymond told me that I could find some of the other 1946 graduates through Betty Jane Winters who was editor of the Waning Moon, the daily newspaper. I contacted her, and she told me what had happened to several of the other '46's. Lewis Ashburn's red, curly hair had gotten him a movie con- tract, and he was the favorite actor of the Moonites. Billy Collins is now the main attraction in a museum that harbors a collection of antiques. Well, he did gain success after all.
