SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The scene is a sunny day in the summer of the year 1980. The members of the Class of 1955 are gathering for their class reunion. We see a few early birds have already arrived at this beautiful Picnic grounds in the heart of Johnstown's modern Recreation Center. Early birds did we say? Pardon our mistake, these birds are the Center's caretakers, Art LaRue and Wesley Smith. Well, here comes Judy Carr who is the sole owner of the Boston Red Sox Baseball team of which Ray Juice Cleveland is the manager, but we wonder who manages who. They're talking to Don Piper who was asleep on a park bench. Who is that laughing? Why, if it isn't Larry Stough and he is with Don Priest who incidently is the top joke teller on CAN YOU TOP THIS. We bet Don just told one of his whoppers. As we stroll on through the Park we see that Wanda Green and Barbara Weaver who have just received their M. A. Degree from B.C.U. University, we hear they majored in M. E. N. Look over there. Bill and Pat King are sitting on that Park bench showing off snapshots of their grandchildren. Pat and Bill own the a La King Dude Ranch of which Tom Jones is the foreman.
