Prophecy TIME: 1982 SCENE: Archaeological Excavation I gripped my pencil nervously. Imagine! A chance to interview the great archaeologist, Dr. Wayne Swiers, for my newspaper! It was the chance of a lifetime and it should be easy, for Dr. Swiers and I had graduated from high school together. When I located Dr. Swiers, he was on his knees amidst the excavation, carefully dusting a new discovery. Upon a second glance, we were both amazed to realize it was a faded photograph of the graduating class of 1972 our class. | My pen poised over my notepad, I began the interview. “Exactly what caused the destruction of the building, Dr. Swiers?” “Professor Kevin Beard’s physical science class was conducting an experiment. Needless to say it was a booming success. The principal, James Lloyd and the athlet- ic coach, Richard Lucas, were quite upset. They had planned on dynamite and were aggravated that Professor Beard stole their thunder.” “Who reported the accident?” “Several of the teachers were procrastinating in the lounge and notified the proper authorities. Miss Beth Johnson, the 6th grade teacher, kept the home eco- nomics teachers, Misses Glenda Upchurch and Frances Gregory, quiet while the li- brarian, Miss Delorise Holliday, phoned the police. “Earl Jones, now running for President, and his campaign manager, Bruce Blackmon, rushed home from Washington to offer their assistance and boost their campaign. Their competent staff, composed of James McKoy, Randolph Brewington, and Mike Royals carried on in Washington.” “Was anyone hurt in the explosion?” “Those who were then were treated by either therapist, Kathy Betts, or physiolo- gist, Teri Brown.” “How did the students react?” “Those who were attending were thrilled but graduates were appalled. The famous operatic star, Anna Vail, lost her voice for a week and world-acclaimed artist, Bonita Reardon refused to continue her creations. Constance Evans closed down her nursery school in Raleigh and Beth Roseman, Rachelle Shaw, Ronald and Gayle Turner and Terry Vann were forced to keep their own children for an entire week. David Bunn, Dwight Savage, and David Thornton dropped out of the Indian- apolis 500 and raced home to help construct a new building. Sensational author, Mike Todd was at a loss for words and restaurateur, Rex Sorrell, served nothing but bread and water, even to the famous comedians, Rudolph Spears and Terry McLean. Professor Leah McCall forgot to give a Biology exam to her Duke students and farmers in the area such as Gary Currin, David Johnson, Ralph Ryals and John Moyd failed to cultivate their crops. Employees of Campbell College organized a reconstruction campaign and with leaders like Calvin McKoy, Evelyn McKoy, Jo Ann McLean and Hilda McNeil, there will be a new school in no time flat. Minister Daniel Williams is praying for an immediate reconstruction.” “Thank you, Dr. Swiers. Eddie Washburn, our photographer, has finished his feature shots. I can see the headlines now - Excavation Uncovers Explosive School Scandal.” Class Prophet Robin Haney 23
