CLASS PROPHECY One cold January night in 1965 as I was sitting by a cozy fire in my bachel- or ' s quarters thinking of a new routine for my understudy, Jack Teague, and me, I received an urgent call from Wayne Boughman, the world renowned in- ventor. He excitedly asked me to rush over to his laboratory to see his latest invention, a machine that would show on a screen what any person was doing at that time. I quickly put on my coat and rushed over. As I stepped out o f my Rolls-Royce, I met Brooks Bush, Johnny Holloway, and Wayne Downs, who were going into Wayne ' s laboratory to escape the snow because Brooks ' car — a model T — had broken down. After all of the greetings had been exchanged and the operation of the machine explained, Johnny suggested that we see what the old senior class of ' 49 was doing. Heeding the suggestion, we got out an old annual to refresh our memories and started down the list of familiar faces. As we adjusted the contraption to Marjorie Abernethy ' s wave length, we found that we had four old schoolmates instead of one — Marjorie, Dot Brown, Lucy Pegg, and Pat Yates were playing a hard game of bridge. We turned the dial and saw a baseball diamond — strictly big-league stuff — and also saw a few of our old buddies now in the bigtime — Ken Adkins, Speedy Powe ll, and Wayne Davis — who were getting ready for baseball season. Another flick of the wrist and we again saw an athletic field, only this time it was a football field, and what a team! The two coaches were Jack Pennell and Henry Carson and out on the field fighting their hearts out were Warren Wilson, a hard-running back. Ken Tiny Land still putting gaping holes in the line. Mack Matheson skip- ping through these holes like a flea on a hot skillet, and Delbert Teem handing that squeelless pig to the back in a way that made touchdowns easy for those pros. As we were fiddling around with the dial, suddenly an elite structure flashed on the screen. It looked like — it couldn ' t be! — but it was!! There in big letters on the office door was: The Elite Billiard Parlor, James Boiver, owner and presi- dent, Eddie Boyd, first vice-president, Hildred Clark, second vice-president, Dale Hodges, third vice-president and Fred Greene, president in charge of racking billiard balls. Truly a magnifi- cent establishment. Next we saw Dr. Joe Gaither, a very prominent physician analyzing the cases of Dovie Martin, Vivian Turner, and Louise Kendall. His analysis was — don ' t ever wear the same hat to the same place at the same time. Another scene flashed on the screen, of the famous (Ronald) Stromberg- Carlson radio plant. Ronald was in his office dictating to two secretaries at once, Lorene Carswell and Peggy Coffey. 18
