Senior Class Prophecy Being one of the many who would like to know what is to come and being better off if I didn't know, I am now at Dr. Pepper's Sanitarium ----- ah --:--- Planetarium about to embark upon his famed trip to the hereafter. I am making this trip partly because the galloping poll has assigned me to find out the future of the class of '51 and partly because I am so darned nosey. The room is hushed as I adjust my Buck Rodgers hat and the Professor throws the switch that hurls me into the great beyond. As the darkness clears I find myself in jail. Let's see, there is a sign which reads, OHIO STATE PRISON, Columbus, Ohio. Now I see the reason I have been sent here. Mervin Barkley is still watching over members of the class of which he was president. He is talking to prisoner 13l3l37. Why, it's Bob Edwards. I knew he'd get to be too handy with the cards. Let's see if we can catch a little of their conversation. Merve is saying, Yes, Art Bauer has worked himself up from section hand to president of the O.P.U. Railroad and Jeanne Wilkin has made enough as his secretary to retire to a life of touring the night clubs. Dan Snyder has become the leader of his own band and is touring the country, competing for Band of the Year, honors against the Sentimental Swingsters, who feature Duane Poling on the saxophone. Jim Hyitt and Bob Knittle both just completed top pitching performances in the major leagues for which they pulled in a cool 575,000 each. Herb Wagner, owner-president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is currently in the middle of a million dollar player deal. Dan May is now head of a company that is manufacturing a new car called the Erskine, Just then they hear someone and stop talking until Warden George Klinger passes. After he is gone, Bob asks Merve to continue. After all, thirteen years is a long time to be inside the walls . Well, says Merve, pulling up a chair and laying his bull-whip on the floor. June Bell has become a lady rassler with Max as her manager. Mary Bell and Rosie Klinger have teamed up to become world renown hair dressers. Donna McCleary, has become head of her own Ladies Wear Corporation where she designs many of the creations. Her husband stays at home with the official title of Vice-President-in-charge-of-the-children. Doyt Schaadt is very busy as Secretary of the Interior under the President of the United States, Barbara Clay. Yes, a woman president. Things have really gone to pot. But .Take Owens, who is running against her this year is conceded a pretty good chance of winning, so she will have to retreat to the state of Multi- Millionaire. I don't know what has happened to the rest of the gang and I do mean gang, but here comes someone who may. 16
