E A Signed: Senior Class of 1956 I. I. CLASS PROPHECY In the year of 1960, the Juniors of '56 took off in Road Run, their ATOMIC POWERED HOT ROD, which travels at a mere 600 mph, to find the Seniors of '56. Our first flat tire found us in a snow covered village of Daddy-O, Alaska, where we heard a strange sort of jlve coming from a nearby snowbank. We started digging in the snow and whom should we uncover, but Richard Mud-Hen Roggy, who was always a very sound sleeper in school, you know. As the boys worked feverishly in the cold. the girls decided to see if they could find Carolyn Rudy Shaffer, who had married an alrman when she was in the Alr Force and they had moved to Alaska . We were invited in for blubber and after visiting for awhile, we took off for places unknown. In a llttle jungle town called Go-Man-Go, Africa, we had our second flat tire. While the tlre was being fixed, we saw a crowd in the square and who should be the center of attraction, but Sally DeLllly Ryburn Wagner. She had Kink tied to a pole and was giving him fifty lashes with a wet noodle at high noon, while their nine little baseball players cheered mommy on to victory. With our tire fixed, we started through the jungle when someone yelled, Look up in the sky, lt's a bird, it's a plane, no, lt's jerry Do-Do Daugherty swinging from tree to tree crying the call of the Do-Do bird.
