CLASS PROPHECY As LaVerne B. and I, now registered nurses, relax after a hard d'ay on duty, we are interrupted by a knock on the door. Upon answering it we find ,ai mes- senger with a large package. We open it and disclose a carpet. Further ex- amination proves it a magic carpet, a gift from a former classmat:, Harold Hall. Harold is now known as “The,Great Magi,” -a very successful magician. A small enclosed card informs us “For successful use repeat the magic words 'Simbo, Sambo, Wham,.” We climb on the carpet and repeat “Simbo, Sambo, Wham” and immediately find ourselves floating in tfr; air. Our magic carpet ldwers as we enter .Fairmont. ALas, we see two beautifully cultivated farms—one belonging to Raymond Jackson, and the adjoining cne be- longing to Gayle Galusha. Raymond ,has ,a lov.ly wife to go with his beautiful farm. Gayle has yet to And a woman who can carry on as an intelligent con- versation as he. Our carpet lands at Nichols Station, now a very big concern. In fact every- thing in Fairmont h3s grown. It now has a population cf 5,COO and a nice size business section. It is a very progressive town. As we walk up to the new big railroad depot, we see the new, .handsome, red-head d agent, Bcb Delaney. He is accompanied by his charming wife, the former Donna Shelly, and low and be- hold, toddling by their sides are two very sharp-looking little r d-headed boys. We leave the depot and walk toward the old school house. Our eyes must be deceiving us, for where the old school house stood, ,we see a beautiful n w school building, a large auditorium, and a magnificent play ground —Mr. Reed’s dream come true. The f.ithful custodian, Clarenc. .Clark—who had taken over his grandfather’s position—informs us that the new buildings had to be constructed to accomodate the increasing number of new students in F.H.S. • Clarence leads us to a room entitled “Athletic Coach and Principal.” Here we find Don Lang- don. It se ms, after many years of successful coaching at Fairmont, Mr. Knut- zen had to take Mrs. Knutzen t)o a different climate for her health. Don had taken over Mr. Knutzen’s duties. We return to cur carpet and remain in the air a long time, when we drop over a big business Concern in Denver. During our exploration of the concern we run into Shirley Halsey, a secretary to the manager. Shirley had eyes for the manager until sh- learned that he had married his former secretary, Marjorie Mcyle. Although Marj was very efficient, she won her employer’s heart and finally led him to the altar. Through Shirley we learn that Lillian Jacobsen is running the largest greenhouse in Denver and we certainly must see her before we take our leave. We journey out to the gr.enhouse and find Lillian enjoying her position. We return to our carpet and leave (Denver. B fore too long we enter Wy- oming. We see a ranch. Across the top of the gate is written “Quick Bar X.” We bring our carpet to the ground and are met by Robert Quick—our former classmate, who is owner of the ranch. Bcb takes us into his small twenty-rocrr cottage. Upon entering, we run into Marilyn Domeier, Bob’s secretary and man- ager combined. After a delicious lunch we are escorted to the dam which is be- ing constructed cn Bob’s ranch. Much to our surprise we find Dick Mason in charge as chief engineer, and by his side—busily working—is Lucile West, his very efficient secretary. We leave Wyoming and land in California. Since one of California's great- est attractions is Hollywood, we journey out to see all the great movi stars. We get th.re just in time to see the stars file out of a studio after fininshing a scene. Following the .female stars is a familiar sight. Yes, none ether than Bob Mason. Bob is now fashion expert for Paramount. Bob accompanies us to one of Pasa-
