SENIOR PROPHECY One summer evening in the year 1965, the people of the United States, including the President, gathered around their television sets ready to listen to their regular evening program. And now if you listen closely you can hear the announcer say — “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Station XYZ bringing to you your favorite program, of proving that ‘People Are Nuts’, by reviewing for you our latest report on the graduating class of 1946 of Grayville Community High School. This program is brought to you through the courtesy of the Green network.” Gene Arnold, always the class leader, was first to be interviewed. In describing his flea corporation in North Africa, he assured us that it would rid our houses of mothers-in-law. Mary Edd Aston, who really had something to shout about, told us about her children. Time prevented her from telling about all of them but she covered a large percentage. Charles Blackford, the Nobel Prize winner of 1964, read to us his latest poem, “Hanging From a Star”, which was simply out of this world. Since Minnie Boling had just departed in her rocket ship for a week-end trip to the moon, we were unable to contact her but were told that she plans to establish a “Green Cheese Restaurant” there in the near future.. Norma Carter, the nation-wide Oats manufacturer, is doing fine. Surely everyone has heard of Carter’s Oats. Betty Coe, who was always sort of windy, now owns a balloon factory north cf Cowling. Her business is expanding constantly. Aubra Driggers, after his discharge from the navy, discovered a gold deposit near the banks of the Wabash which, unfortunately, someone else had deposited. Erma Dyer has just applied for a patent on an electric tooth brush. It not only cleans your teeth but fills the cavities, massages your gums, and pulls all the loose teeth. Doris Daugherty, the world’s champion wrestler, is still undefeated. Kelly Gross, the penny pincher, is making a nation-wide tour giving lectures on “How to Live on Two Cents a Day.” Dolores Elliott has just reached the states after circling the world for the second time in a row boat. What some women won’t do for a man! Margie Girot, after finishing her latest picture “The Return of The Moron,” is spending a much needed vacation in Europe. Jerry Gibson has just discovered a military use for doughnut holes. This is indeed a great asset to the United States. He is kept in solitary confinement so we won’t lose the secret. Peggy Haas, chief executive of the Mahogany Gum Corporation, reports her business is growing like a bubble. Helen Hailey, after becoming acquainted with the grocery business, decided to try it herself. She now has chain stores all over America, including Calvin. Pat Hayden, whose greatest ambition was to become a musician, has accepted a life-long contract with Spike Jones. Vonda Hortin, head of the Illinois State Department of Agriculture, has at last,, after many years of research, discovered how to get blood from a turnip. The subway between the assembly and the pool hall is now operated by Bob Kotulek.
