CLASS PROPHECY I am the Crystal Gazer. I alone can tell what will befall each and every one of you. Oh Senior Class of Buffalo High School, hear ye the message I bring. Life is divided into three great periods - the past, the present, the future. The past, with its many happy days of freedom from care, is behind you. It is now only a succession of beautiful memories, that, in years to come, we shall love to recall. The present, with its petty trails, its days of study and the great unknown future stretches out before you, an untraveled road, filled with - you know what. Perhaps it is great joy and success; perhaps sorrow and dis- appointment; perhaps wealth; perhaps poverty; perhaps fame. You go forward with, as it were, your eyes blinfolded, traveling the great road of life, each step opening up something new, something unexpected. But I, with my mystic power, can unfold that future to you and give a brief glimpse of this class, thirty years from today. Then you can judge for your- selves the paths each one has traveled, the efforts each one has made. Listen well, Oh Class of 1959! Give heed to these words of mystic wisdom, as the future is revealed. I see in my crystal ball a great building, rising out of the heart of the city. The name in clear letters over it reads Manufacturer of McKinlay Automobiles; Don McKinlay, President. I see miles and miles of unbroken prairie land. There are thousands of splendid cattle, with cowboys riding in and out among them. The owner of this splendid ranch, sitting at ease on the broad veranda of the handsome ranch house is Victor, and his wife, standing beside him, is - I cannot see her face very clearly. You, perhaps, would predict for Lorin a career in Wall Street, but I have knowledge that he will be chief supervisor of garbage inspection in a nearby municipality. For Pat Fairbanks you see ahead a marriage of wealth and importance but out of the future I bring you word of a successful career as proprietor of a pet shop specializing in trained fleas. There is also a store across the street that has a sale on flea powder. For Floyd I see a double complex. As a result, his reactions will range from blackest despair to sitting on top of the world. He will start something in one mood and finish in another; the result always confusing and sometimes deplor- able. I see Pat Driskell’s occupation to be teacher of auction, duplicate, and contract bridge, successor to work, Whitehead, and Lenz. She will be famed for her always trumping her partner's ace. Dimmer and dimmer grows the ball. Its message is over, and I, too, will say to you my farewell message, Peace-Happiness-Good-bye.
