PROPHECY I AM HERE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TELLING YOU A STORY. It is now 1971 and the graduates of 1961 are gathering together at the Rolland Coats residence. He is still teaching at Hill City and has been joined in the teaching pro- fession by his wife. It is now six o'clock and the class is beginning to assemble. Now arriving are Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wilcox and their two little boys. She is the former Virginia Mohler, now happily married and raising her family. Well guess who is here now! Dr. Weiderhold. He is still single and teaching geo- logy at the School of Mines. And now here is Judy Gregson and Linda Reinke the two beauticians. When asked where their husbands were they replied, home babysitting. As I now look out the window I notice a Cadillac and Lincoln pulling into the drive- way, and out of them stepped no less than John Miller and Tim Gregson. What hap- pen to the hot rods boys ? Coming across the room to me now is Judy Odden. I hear she is keeping books for an insurance company run by her husband T. J. Odden and their son. Now coming up the walk is a teacher, another look tells us it is the girl who we know as Doneene McDonald. Of course it is possible she has changed her name since we last saw her. Another look around the room tells me that Joe McDonald and Charlie Edwards have arrived. I have heard they are working in town and still chasing the girls. Dennis Olson is here looking quite prosperous. It seems he followed his brother's footsteps in the mining business, but he is now his brother's boss. Now the party is complete, OOPS'. Here comes John Nash, he looks as carefree as ever. It is now after midnight, and the party must be broken up to provide time for the long trips home. It has been fun renewing old acquaintances and we hope to see you all again in ten years at the same place.
