Class Prophecy 1953 In the spring of the year 1970, I started out on a trip around the world. I had just recently made a fortune when I invented the formula for dry water to cure people who are all wet. My souped-up superjet blew a gasket just as I was ready to take off, so I took it to a highly recommended repair shop known as WMourdock's Murderous Mechanicsn. What to my wondering eyes should appear but my old classmate, Phyllis, with all the repair gear. Finally, I took off and headed for England. I was met by the American delegation headed by our ambassadress to Britain, Miss Genevieve Watts. It couldn't be, but it was! The cutest, most undiplomatic girl in the Senior Class of '53, formerly Gerry watts. Off I went into the wild blue yonder, to Paris, the city of beautiful wo en, fashions, beautiful women, leaning tower of Piza, and beautiful women. And the most beautiful woman of all, Marie Myers, now the most valued model on two continents. Continuing on, I reached Italy and decided to tour the boot, and I met the sole of the Senior Class, Darrel Duncan, earning an honest living selling garlic grown in chlorophyll, for that clean smell. Off again and on to the province of Magador. There I found the Nrich Maharanee of Magadoen to be Milayne Walker. Oh, to be ruled by the gentle hand of a woman! I stopped off in Hongkong to get my laundry done. Here I saw the largest laundry in the world, run by Ellen Snyder. She has branch offices in every country on the globe. She's really clean- ing up a fortune. I stopped on the island of New Guinea to find how Barbara Rathbun was doing in her missionary work. I found that with the help of her native husband and six children, she had converted the entire island and was now preparing to settle down and rear her family. On to darkest Africa, where I saw the strangest sight, an old yellow, l9L8 Ford parked at a water hole. Somehow that car struck a chord in my memory. Sure enough, Jim Ryder was still driving his mother's Ford. It just seemed no other car could take its place. Now he's studying strange forms of plant life for use in his private museu . In Chili, I found Jeanette Hummel, the valedictorian of the Class of '53, the first woman president of the University of Chili. She recalled an old joke we used to love at noon, in school. UIt's so cold it's chili fsoupJ.H Oh, well. In Cuba,I wanted some entertainment, so I went to the opera HCarmen.W Singing the title role, I found Ann Armitage, now the leading prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera. Heading for home, I stopped over in Mexico. Here I found none other than our old class sponsor, Mr. Van Atta, teaching the Mexican hat dance to the headless horseman. Happily I returned home to my wife, Beverly, and little John Falls Jr., to remember always the way my old classmates looked, as they did on my trip around the world. 1A
