SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Written by a Junior, Rose Marie Hopkins It was a beautiful moonlit night on October 31, 1960. A tall, beautiful, graceful woman strolled leisurely down a woodland path. She was Mrs. Umpty-Woodle. the wife of the president of the United States of South America. She was clad in .1 lovely sky-yellow cellophane dress, made of synthetic rubber which was composed of the juice of lima beans. Those who had known her in the old days would hardly have recognized her as the former Miss Shirley Vee Wilson. As Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle walked, she musingly recalled her high school days, which had been spent in the dear old Imbler high school in Imbler, Oregon. She thought of the lowly existence that she had spent as a mere freshman, and then later, her exciting life as a high and mighty senior. She wondered what had become of her partners-in-crime; those who had their noses to the grindstone in their school days and who had later graduated with her. She resolved to go to the Old Witch who resided in the middle of the dense woods and who, on Halloween night would tell anything one wanted to know, to those who were brave enough to enter her presence. No sooner thought of than done. In the old days Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle had been known for her courage and resourcefulness. She set out for the Old Witch’s hut and arrived there at eleven p. m., daylight saving time. The Old Witch sat muttering over the pot which was boiling on a blazing lire. Bravely, Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle made her request that she might see her high school classmates wherever they might be. The Old Witch arose and threw some green powder into the pot. An orange haze rose over the pot, surrounding the two of them. Then gradually the haze dissolved and where before the pot had been, was a vast desert. There in the middle of the desert was one of the greatest scientists of all time, the eminent John Couzens, who was digging for the bones of the extinct Suzu-Buzu in the sand of the Sahara Desert. This scene faded, and there was a giant red rocket hurtling through space. As the beholders watched, the rocket landed on a strange world, the land of Grosheo which is one of the moons of the planet Jupiter; and who should step out but the famous explorer, Bill Howell. In another moment he was battling furiously with the purple Grosheosone, who are the inhabitants of this land. Behind him. valiantly wielding her Buck Roger's spray gun. was his wife, the former Shirley Ann Hibberd. Their old Imbler High School friends will remember how well the two always got along. Suddenly a loud war whoop split the stillness of the night. It was Don Hill, the cowboy, rounding up his purebred whitefaced sheep on a remote goat ranch in the hills of Carolina. He was using a jeep reconverted from a helicoptor for conveyance. Next there appears a tall flagpole, minus the flag, on top of which appeared Duane Schwebke, the handsome wavy-haired casanova of Imbler high. Duane is the champion flagpoel sitter as he has sat there for 365Vi days practically without food, water, or air. You can see the girls swooning below. Now there is Admiral Leon Paroz of the U. S. Navy. He is the supreme commander of the entire Army, Navy, Marine Corps. Air Corps, and Coast Guard, but modestly refuses to take any title greater than Admiral. There next appears Miss Elva McKinnis who is first, second, and third secretary to the Emperor of the Emperor of the Commonwealth of the East Asiatic Northerners in Africa. Miss McKinnis got her training in the office of Imbler High. Last, and most certainly least, appears the pig grower, Professor Albert B. Hopkins, who obtained his degree in Pigology from the University of Pigosis in Delaware. He is at present residing on the island of Franklin D. Roosevelt which was formerly Honshu Island in Japan. Mr. Hopkins was formerly the superintendent of Imbler Public Schools of Imbler, Oregon. The scenes fade away to the strains of ' Stardust which was being played on the request hour over station KLBM, La Grande, Oregon.

IMBLER GAZETTE Vol. 8 No. 3 June 1, 1955 FORMER IMBLER STUDENTS MAKE GOOD Elva McKinnis is now private secretary to Mr. Albert Hopkins who is president of the orange growers association of Alaska. The intense heat of the Alaska climate has greatly added to the intelligence of both Mr. Hopkins and Elva. Duane Schwebke is now the Reverend pastor of Summerville, Oregon. His sermons are so soothing that his whole congregation goes to sleep occasionally. John Couzens, Doctor of Medicine, is making quite a name for himself as the head of a clinic for the removal of outgrown toenails in East Australia. Shirley Wilson is the first woman ever appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her first move after she was appointed was to have the Supreme Court bench repainted and redecorated with white polka-dotted damask. Donald Hill has charge of the new macaroni factory in Alicel, Oregon. They are making a new macaroni product by stuffing the macaroni with (he holes of doughnuts. Who doesn’t like the funnies? A new cartoonist will make his appearance in this paper next Sunday. He runs a strip entitled, Pink-eye, the Snail Eater.” He draws pictures under the name of Jim. the Ant Killer; but in real life he is none other than Leon Paroz. Shirley Hibbcrd, famous for her cooking and author of her own auth-orative cook-book entitled, How to Feed Your Family On Little Or Nothing has just created a new recipe that is sweeping the country. For your convenience, we are printing it below. POINT SAVING MEAT SUBSTITUTE 1 cup baking powder Vi cup soda (finely ground) 1 teaspoon pepper 2 finely ground apples (whole) 1 cup of All-Bran 1 tablespoon white beans '2 cup distilled water 10 lbs. enriched cake flour 1 tablespoon green food coloring Mix ingredients thoroughly and bake for 2l i hours in an oven at a very high temperature. Miss Hibberd let Mr. Bill Howell be the first to try her new recipe. Funeral services will be held for Mr. Bill Howell at the Summerville chapel at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday, Rev. Duane Schwebke officiating. Bill Howell died suddenly yesterday afternoon. The world lost a truly great man. He had been hailed as a second Edison and Marconi combined. His last invention was a self-lighting cigarette that made him millions and put his name in the nation’s mouth. He was working on a non-squirting grapefruit at the time of his death. If it would have proved successful he would have been known to every breakfast table in America.
