Senior Class Prophecy 1954 It is the fall of 1964, and we are planning a trip to the outer world. We now approach the space ship which is piloted by Bruce Holding. After talking we learn that his glamorous wife, Lynda Rash, is the stewardess on the space ship. As we board the ship we notice a girl hiding behind dark glasses and we recognize her as the world’s renouned band director Sheila Rachut, we remember her from school days and as we talk with her we learn that she decided to become a band leader while studying music at Burt High under the leader- ship of Thomas Kump. The pilot tells us we better fasten our safety belts because we are about ready to take off. Everyone settles back in his seat and as we take off we notice someone on the runway hollering and waving for dear life. As he runs closer we see our own Bob Fairbanks, boy? he just made it in time! We stop and pick him up and take off again. Our first stop is a little island (known to be Jupiter) and as we step from the plane we are greeted by a cute, shapely, hula dancer, her face looks like--oh no it can’t be-- but it is none other than Aria Moore. We move on around the island taking in its beauty, when suddenly we hear ’’Get your coconuts here, nice fresh coconuts as big as your head. His face looks familiar to us and sure enough it is our old acquaintance from Burt High, Jerry McMullen. It is getting late so we mosey back to our plane and get settled. With our safety belts fastened and very pleased with all the old acquaintances we renewed, we took off. Bruce tells us our next stop will be Mars, so we settle back in our seats and relax. After traveling about two meters'we land on the paradise of Mars. We hail a taxi and to our surprise we seem to know that guy driving it, strangely enough it’s that good old pal “Warren Rentz from Burt High. We ask him what ever made him decide to come way up here and drive a taxi. He answers with no hesitation that he was playing with an airplane he built one day and it just took off and landed on Mars, he never yet has attempted a return flight. After we get off the taxi we see Bud pick up a couple of beautiful girls. “There seems to be something familiar about them, we tell each other and as we get nearer we find they are our old friends Maxine Angus and Janice Madsen. We talk to them for a while and find that they are movie stars on Mars. Since they are so famous they have to be moving on and we say good-bye as the taxi speeds off. Not long after we hear a peculiar noise in the far distance. It sounds like and ambulance siren. We ask a marsoneon what it is and she says that there must have been an accident some place. We find out later that Warren’s taxi had been in a smash up. We remember then that our old friends Maxine and Janice were riding in that taxi. We hasten to the hospital to deter- mine the extent of their injuries. At the bedside we are confronted by a woman doctor who radiated an air of confidence which seems familiar. Of course! It is Betty Mitchell, graduate of Burt High, 1954. We needn’t ask Betty what ever made her become a doctor because we know that it was her life-long ambition. Betty chats to us a while and tells us that if it hadn’t been for the skill-of the ambulance driver the chances for our friends would have slight. Betty then informs us that we should know the ambulance driver too, since he was one of her graduating class. It is none other than Louis Krull. She tells us that he learned to drive so skillfully by driving his Chevrolet to school every day back at Burt High. Betty then informs us that she had to run along now and see how her new pa- tients are coming'. We say good-bye and as we watch her leave we see two gorgeous nurses coming toward us.. “They seem to know us ’ we say to each other, and as they come closer we recognize them as the LeBrun sisters, Dorothy and Elaine. After saying good-bye to all our old acquaintances we take the elevator down. On our way down we find that the elevator operator looks familiar.. Much to our surprise we find i? is JoAnn Dittmer. After saying good-bye to JoAnn we board our ship to continue our trip. Our next stop is Pluto. It is now 300 meters P. M. As we step from the plane we are greeted by the customs man and he says he would like to inspect our luggage. As he draws nearer we see that it is Paul Carlson and his watch dog. We renew old times and Paul tells us to be sure and look up Elizabeth Steil and Betty Groen, operatois of the Drive Inn Space Motel. We decide to stop at the Motel and get a good night’s rest. As we settle down in our beds we hear a loud roar. We decide to investigate and find it is some newl} weds on their honeymoon. As they step from their spacemobile we recognize them to be John Hasse and Delores Stroebel who were married in Pluto Ville Church about 3 meters ago. As we make our way back to bed we realize that in the past day we have seen nine- teen of our old Burt High friends. We now decide to get some rest before our journey homeward.
