✓ THE 1948 CLASS PROPHECY On May 15, 1958, Professor Slobleon Von Needham decided to try out his new brain-child, the new jet propelled, atom burning, pair of nyplastictone wings. It was a beautiful day, not a fluffy cloud in sight, and as Prof. Von Needham slipped into the traces of his new wings, pulled the straps taut and adjusted his new ’’Super-see-all-eye” and wondered what would happen if they failed. Throwing these thoughts aside and kissing his six foot policewoman wife good-bye he pulled a switch and took off with a great roar, like a herd of turtles!!J Reaching the moon, he became hungry and stopped to eat a small dehydrated dinner pill and sat to rest for awhile. Suddenly a vision came before his eyes, and he real- ized it was his super-see-all-eye working. The vision was of a beautiful room, with hundreds of bathing beautys, and amidst them all with a new drape shape French model bathing suit sat Imogens Bates. Then from a door, with eyes about two feet from his head came the King of Siam making his daily round of his harem. She was wife 669 and his favorite. Reluctantly Prof, adjusted his eye again and wondered if he could find all his old classmates of '48 again. With a startled gasp he saw Jackie Stereo racing by with the speed of sound on her Arabian steed across the Arabian sands. She was trying to outrun what was left of the king’s horses she hadn’t stolen yet. She was by now a 1st class horse thief!! Next, he turned his eye toward old Me-he-co where he saw Donna Rees, a stately, fat, old maid trying to con- vert innocent Mexicans to her religion. Just as he was getting the vision clearer they all started rolling around on the ground. Moving his eye a slight distance to the north, what did he see but a tiny dot becoming larger and larger as it came across the Alaskan ice and snow at terrific speed. Bounding alongside the sled dogs bundled in fur from head to foot was-----no, not Santa, but Wilmerth Bristow. It seems she is now carrying mail from Seattle to Nome---the long way and getting there 'way ahead of the boat--she always was a fast one! Wishing to see what had happened to ye olde class- mates the Prof, swung his eye to the Hawaiian Islands where much to his surprise he saw a familiar figure swaying 'neath the palms, hulaing with the best. It was Barrie Gassett! The Prof, guessed that by now

Gassett had really been around and seen the sights. The Prof, after having been almost around the world decided to look in on dear old Cove. There he saw Ginny and Gerald Rimby living happily in a mansion on Mill Hill. And he also noted that there were little things other than the picket fence running around the yard. Also in Cove, living in a cave on old Mt. Fanny were the two giddy old maids, Gay Conklin and Josce Smith. Josce worked in the winter at being the world's greatest plastic surgeon in La Grande and sup- ported the both of them. The Prof, wondered' why she didn't do a little work on her partner. He then turned his gaze at a ship in San Francisco Bay. Upon close investigation he was the crew was made up of gorgeous hunks of humanity---namily men, and that they all followed the captain around like dogs. He found that the captain was a lively blonde gal who resembled Beulah Bloom so much that he happened to see the name of the giant job—The Bloom(er) Gal of Cove. Then he knew for sure it was his old classmate Beulah. After leaving the Bloomer Girl of Cove at San Fran- sisco and sweeping back out of the harbor, he just hap- pened to notice quite a smoke coming out of one of the windows of a little house, on a little island. Decid- ing it was a fire he looked again and saw Clifford Towle rushing around the kitchen slipping hack saws in cakes and files in candy. He was the chief cook at Alcatraz and they'd put him to work for good be- havior—Ha!J He was sure making a monkey out of them!! Seeing the state his old classmates had fallen into the Prof, gladly took off for Mars and bid the earth adieu. A SENIOR by Josce Smith Eating is my happiest thought, At this day and age I do it a lot. Cakes and pies are my delight, But candy is my favorite. Fat I be, but less I oare, Even if I get so fat as a bear. So classmates do remember this, That fat girls are Jolly and fun to kiss.
