By: Mildred Laymon. Witness: Ruby Sidweli.. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Margie: I certainly have some great news for you. If you don’t get excitement and thrills from it, something is wrong. You probably think I am crazy, raving on like this, but when I tell you that it’s all about our graduating class, you’ll understand. Since you were president of the class during our Senior year, I have decided to tell you first. You see, it all happened like this. I recently met an old Indian guide while I was touring the mountains. Strange to say, this guide was a woman, who, though very old, could climb the mountains much more easily than I. She possessed the only magic mirror in the world, and people came from far and near to have her look into their futures. Well, my curiosity got the best of me, and one day, as we rested before finishing our climb, I asked her to reveal my future. She consented and asked if there was a particular question I would like to ask. It was indeed hard to choose one from the many that flashed through my mind. However, the atmosphere reminded me of spring and brought back memories of graduation time. I had an idea. “I would rather hear the future of the Class of ’31 than my own future,” I answered. “Oh! gladly will I tell you,” she quickly replied, “for it is indeed a class worthy of great praise.” I sat closer to her so that I would not miss a word, and she began: “I see Norma Reavers doubling for Janet Gaynor in the movies. Darrell Chapman operates a radio station in the back of his father’s drug store. “Fon Perisho and Ruby Sidweli, talented toe dancers, have gained world wide fame. William Bell, accompanied by his mechanic, Exil Bower, makes a trip to England every day in his airplane to take the king for a ride. “Howard Johnson, Kenneth Lamb, and Wilbour Cummins are new United States senators who are fighting for bigger and better speed laws. 125 1 6 57 ¥ ft f to § I c
