, PROPHECY May 26, 1969 appeared to be a very fascinating day in my life. I decided to take a trep to dear old Cannelton, Indiana. I left early in the morning. After flying for a while, I decided to land my space ship on a landing pad. As I entered the space station, I happened to run on to an electronical stage engineer, who I recognized to be Jimmy Holloway. We chatted for a while and he told me that the new Chief of Police was Forrest Hawhee. He told me that his deputies were William Reed and Bobby Bell. I talked to him for a while and he informed me that he wasn't the only one working at the space station, for Alden CKroJ Freeman was the space motorcycle mechanic. Next I stopped at a restaurant to eat. Out came William CBullD Coomer, who was in partnership with Bernard Powers, to wait on me. He told me that KathyCKellemsJRaley and her family was his favorite Boston customer. After eating my breakfast I joruneyed on toward my destiny. I arrived in Cannelton in a short ten minutes. There I had my space ship parked in a parking lot which I found was Don Hall's. As I left the parking lot and started down town I noticed a large crowd, and the center attraction was Merry Minto a new owner of the Sewer Pipe, campaigning for mayor. His campaign manager was Kenny Thiery. I decided to stay at the famous Sunlight Hotel. As I opened the door, who whould I see but George Parr, the famous owner of the hotel. He greeted me with a cheerful smile, and we chatted. Then he informed me that Melvin QMouseyJ Rhodes was running the Goctall Lounge, down stairs. So I Jockeyed on down to see old Mousey. But to my surprise I saw Ralph CSk1pJ Bauer sitting at the bar and by him sat Larry KMoochJ Carter. They chatted with me for a while and informed me that they were now both five star generals inthe Marines. As I glanced up over the bar I saw a familiar face, who I came to recognize as Don Rudolph, the President of the United States. I found Mousey and he told me that Sonja Badger was in New York City working for the United Nations as an I.B.M. operator, Janet CBobJ Buckler and Mary Nell Mattingly were in Hawaii swinging and swaying, and Paula Carr was the head nurse at Cannelton's new Maples Grove Hospital. I got tired and went to bed. In the morning when I awoke I decided to take a walk down town. Before long I spotted the High School and decided to go in and see the old place. There I found the principal to be Linda Smith. As I ventured on through the class rooms I found out that Margaret May was teaching Dr1ver's Training in Cannelton High School. It seems tha she get her experience coming back from band period. I also found out that Gary Clark was now the minister of the Fourth Street Baptist Church. I saw Margaret and she told me that Mary Nell Gore, was now Secretary to the Governor, Gene Maxey. She also told me that Mary Jane Jones and Bertha Hargis owned an immense Cat Farm on the outskirts of Tobinsport, and Jan Litherland is now State Auditor of Indiana. Getting hungry I left Margaret to go up town to find something to eat. So I went to the old hangout Olberdings and guess who owns it now, Frankie Keown and his Chief Waiter is, Kenneth Kratzer. He told me that Donald Tate's prize pigs had won first prize at the World's Fair. He said Bonita Litherland Ballis was now a teacher on television teaching English. I finally found out what happened to Melvin Ccheetal McBrayer and Mary Lou Hafele. Cheeta was playing basketball at L.S.U. and Mary Lou had become a model for the Mademoiselle Cherie. Finding that all my old classmates were alright I headed for home. I arrived home in a short twenty minutes. BIJSAAIWNAIJLPAJPER CCIMIUANY' IIENIIY HEf:K ADU CJOAMPAIWY C3nnelt0D.
