SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Listen my children and you shall hear of the prophecy of our class so dear On May 26th in '59 Is the memorable day of theirs and mine. Thirteen persons now remain Who shall dream of that wonderful day again. Now Shirley said I think I'll be A famous airline celebrity. When you see a light in the sky so high It may be ME flying by. One if by land, and two if by sea And Glenna on the opposite shore will be Ready to greet and meet with charm And personality oh so warm The passengers boarding their plane Who are sure that they'll be back again. Ron said Good-bye with muffled roars And silently left to do his chores. When a delivery truck you see Stocked with beef—think of me. I plan on farming the rest of my life And have ten kids and, of course, a wife. Said Hank, I think I'll be a mechanic And when my car fails--I'll not panic. So when your car lights begin to dim — Well, why don't you just fog right in. I'll fix it up in nothing flat, It'll be ready--just like that. Meanwhile, a friend at the army post Shouts at the yardbirds more violent than most Till, in the silence around her she hears And stops the muster of women's cheers. Sergeant Judy commands the tramp of the feet And keeps them going in all kinds of heat. He climbed to the top of the telephone pole And then yelled down to his friends below: Peel up here and help cut these wires Or else we'll have no telephone buyers. Leonard works hard to bring home the bread, Because he has lots of kids to keep fed. There's Mary and Betty and Lee and Jean Bob and Ray and little Eileen. He has lots of kids, goodness knows, But Beth, you see, makes all of their clothes. Bill very-indignantly tills the soil, And when the plow breaks he's sore as a boil. He raises wheat and corn and oats and rye, And never sells it the price isn't high. When a slice of brown bread you eat— Just remember, Bill raised the wheat. And when the vegetable man toots his horn, Just remember, Bill raised the com. So when the farmers bring in their haul, Think where we'd be without them at all. Leo decided that fishing he'd go, He'd tie the line to his little toe, He likes to go fishing on his own good terms, But once he struck oil while digging for worms. Now he is rich and his family's clothes Are expensive and fancy clear down to their toes. Meanwhile, impatient and ready to fly, Sonny and Bill Smith are saying good-bye. Jet pilots they are and give up they won't Now you see them—now you don't. The next assignment--fly to the moon Visit a while but return next June. And when they return before next year, Mission Accomplished is what you hear. Linda thinks Carroll is very manly, But somehow she'd rather be Mrs. Stanley. Now that they are happily wed, She has 3 sons to put to bed. Linda thinks she'll be teased no more, But her chances are an odd 100 to four. Her sons are like having three Hank's When it comes to pulling the same old pranks. Brenda, of course, is a perfect wife, She thinks that she lives quite the life. Her mother had 7 children, you see, But not Brenda, her limit is three. Her children are lovely and very well trained And Don a high position has gained. Their cottage, you see, is very small, There's only 25 rooms in all. Dorothy lives in a great big house, But she's still as timid as a little mouse, When an important doctor on the hospital board Proposed to her,--she was really floored. Now that she is a mother and wife, She'll live in luxury the rest of her life. Dean Anderson usually gets what he likes, Because he's the owner of 2 turnpikes. He says There's a highway that I want laid. And everyone jumps--boy he's got it made. He lives a life of pleasure and ease, But he has a wife and 5 kids to please. Sharen patiently waits to be fed. She always, always has breakfast in bed. A butler and two or three maids has she, She struck it rich at the age twenty-three. This is the end of our little rhyme, And it ended up just in time. We are running out of things to say And, also, you see, this is the day When the prophecy is supposed to be in And now we'll get back to normal again.
