CLASS PROPHECY It was a pleasant fall day and Front Street of FI Paso was bustling with the annual Corn Festival. We were walking along the row of conces '•on tents when a large banner, which stretched across one of the tents, caught our eye: 'Madame Zola, Reader of the Future. We ventured into the dark and mysterious interior. There, seated behind a crystal ball, was a hook-nosed gypsy draped in gaudy robes. After we had contributed a generous fee, she asked what we wanted her to foresee. We decided to take a look at the Class of 1956 as they live twenty years from their graduation. Her eyes sparkled as she settled down to this great task. She saw a 1976 model Rocket with Donna Schopp, Barbara Mayne, Carol Harris, and Janice Crump being driven by Joan Smith as chauffeur. They purchased the Rocket from Oldsmobile dealer Larry Roth. It was designed by airplane enthusiast. Bud Malcom. There should be six Rockettes, but Norma Crusius has departed to play twin pianos with Liberace. Two clarinetists, Shirley Stimpert and Yvonne Weirman, were competing for the lead in the The Female Benny Goodman Story . Former movie projectionist, Chuck Riker, was the director. The Rockettes stopped at an interplanetary service station to have the Rocket serviced by Dale Robinson. The station was built by the combined efforts of carpenter Ralph Wilson, architect Ray Armstrong, and engineer BobFamey. Back down on earth there has been a tremendous manhunt for Ben Gossmeyer who was lost in the Carlock woods. He was found by trapper Ted Garey whose dog, We Walk ’Fm, got a thorn in his paw. Ted’s wife, Marilyn, took the ailing hound to Reeves’ Veterinary Clinic which was located next door to a Kroger store. In that store, cashier Darlene Miller was complaining to manager Elma Kemp about the angelic children of customers. Hazel Kinder Blackmore, Roberta Green Kesler, Charlotte Morris Remmert, Mary Punke Mennen, and Joyce Finck Hinthorn. In the back room Loren Vogel and secretary Ruth Dixon were making out bills. In a nearby restaurant waiter Clyde Fisher was recommending a low calorie special to Tom Tipler and Robert Waller. The next booth was occupied by the man with the green thumb, florist Mike Bowers, who can grow anything except hair on Charles Roberts’ head. Ag teacher Charles Pinkham has not been successful in making a farmer of Alan Reinhardt. The scene switched to a skyscraper office where Pantagraph publisher Tom Volz was reading a sports column written by Ken Lewis. Also in the sports section was a picture of pro-football captain Ed Finck congratulating barefoot Charles Gillespie on kicking the winning field goal. I noticed Bill Fever had won another motorcycle race, Jon Lindsey had pole-vaulted twenty feet, and Lois Stine’s team had won the Women’s World Series. All of Tom’s papers were filed in The Library of Congress by head librarian Ann Diener. Ann’s chief historian, Clara Wilkey, and secretaries Pat Crum and Joanne Shepherd had been busy looking through old legal books to be used by lawyer SteveClaggett in his case against Secor Politician Larry Moritz.
