CLASS PROPHECY From the armchair of my writing desk where | had sat down to rest that night after a day of hard work, | heard..the’ distant ‘voices fromthe street, diminished by the thick walls of the room. | saw through the window in front of mea clear sky- full of stars, whose-light softened that of thefull moon. | heard singing on the T. V. from the other room. It weis’a song. that brought me memories of my school days. It had been ten years since the graduation of the class of '58. As | sat there wondered what had happened to my old friends. A rocket was being launched to the moon by LARRY BARKSDALE with GLENDA CHAMBERLAIN, SALLY PLEASANT and myself as passengers. Enroute to the moon, we noticed, out of the rear view mirror, old familiar pals, ANNE BEGGARLY and BOBBY PARKER, balancing the Big Dipper. At dusk the evening star shone brightly on the residence of DIANNE GILBERT, who was teaching the duties of a housewife to LANA HODNETT, FAYE GILBERT, and SANFORD YATES. Since it was so late, we stopped at Mars Hotel, where preprietor, DAVID HADLEY, was playing the latest Rock and Roll records. We were amazed at seeing LOIS SIMMONS and DALLAS SNEAD, Mars Champion Dancers, rehearsing for their space debut. The Bellhops, ROBERT COMER, RONALD THOMPSON, MERVIN PRUITT, and JAMES LEWIS showed us to our recom. While dining at the Dewdrop Inn, BETTY ADAMS, GLORIA DAVIS, and VIRGINIA TERRY served us excellent food cooked by DOYLE EDWARDS. (We noticed Chef on his lapel.) The evening would not have been complete without Mars' greatest comedian STANLEY Sputnik GOSNEY. At break of dawn we were on our way again and a short time later, we reached the moon. Strolling down Fairyland Avenue, we met FAYE ROWLAND whe was on her way to be maid of honor at the double wedding of JUDY and CLIFTON, VIOLET and WESLEY. WALLACE BRYANT, Pastor, performed the double ring ceremonies. Greatly astonished, we noticed WAYNE YATES as ring bearer and KITTY NEAL as flower girl. TOMMY WALKER, who was having a scientific meeting with technicians, JUNE BARKSDALE, GAYNELLE SHELTON and MINNIE HOWERTON, invited us to go with him to Pluto to see BARBARA REYNOLDS and FAYE GIBSON compete for championship in the All-Star Universal Wrestling match. AUBREY DODSON refereed this event. The Planet was ruled successfully by Kings Momo, RANDOLPH MARTIN, and Koko, RAY JONES. On our return trip as we jerked off, we heard HAZEL EVANS singing “By the Light of the Silvery Moon to MICKEL, EARLENE, JOAN and BILLY. We waved goodbye to CHARLOTTE and MAXINE who were sweeping stardust from the stars so that there would be enough light to see our way back to earth. We landed our rocket safely with the help of BLANCHE BARRETT, JUDY GRAVELY and BETTY HILL, who pulled us in, and MARY JOHNSON, who tied it down. There to greet us were REBECCA HOWERTON and JEAN MILAM. Just as | was ask ing them how they had spent the past ten years, an eerie wail from the other room awakened me and | noticed that SALLY and GLENDA were nowhere in sight and that | wasn't in a rocket. It had al! been a figment of my imagination. | went in the direction of the scream and to my surprise, | saw on the T. V. set, WAYNE HALL playing the villain in a serial. After his pesty ways in high school, | can imagine the delight he is getting by scaring people out of their wits. What a day this had been! | could hardly believe that the rocket trip was a dream. | can still see all of my classmates and | can remember the fun that they were having!
