Prophecy Ot 1 he Class Oi '53 the night. We peek in on the floor-show before going to our rooms and whom should we see but Jo Railing!!! She has a magic act and uses a pet monkey for an assistant. Being in the act must be a carry-over from the modeling she did in the Junior play at school. We cnat with her a few minutes alter her act and then go up to get a good night’s sleep before we blast-off for Jupiter in the morning. As morning dawns, we rise, eat, check out, and go back to the ship to get ready to leave. Just as we are ready to blast-off, Frank rushes up to the ship and asks if he might fly along to Jupiter. Naturally, we grant permission to him. Muriel gives ua clearance frem Mars’ tower and we blast-off. After a few hours swift flight we land on Jupiter, disembark, and go to one of the United Planets’ Hotel. Guess who is door- man? None other than Vernon Young, who looks a lot different in a doorman’s uniform than he did in a basketball uniform. As we go in to register, another familiar face greets us. Phyllis Birky is the clerk on duty. Since we are all going to the “Starway” after dinner, we invite Phyllis to go along after she gets off duty. A bellboy ushers us to our rooms. Say, isn’t this someone else we should know? It is!! Jim Schultz. Jim, who is working part time in the hotel, spends his spare time hunting goradu, which is the combination of goose, rabbit, and duck, and is also de- veloping a scatter-shot-rocket-gun capable of hitting the goradus at 50,000 feet. Jim also decides to join us for dinner. We freshen up, eat, collect our group, and call a jet car to take us to the “Starway” nightclub owned and operated by Nancy French (This is what she learned at I. U.!!!???) The featured entertainment produced by our old buddy, Gordie, is billed as the vocal duet of Gingerkh and Peters. We always knew these boys would do something with their great voices. (But not this) We go in, sit down, and order drinks. When they are served, we tell the waiter he may as well leave the bottle because of the size of our party. We examine the contents written on the outside of the bottle, and we discover it is a combination cf “eight down” and “lower eleven” manufactured by none other than Doris Kneifel, who learned how to make this beverage in Home Ec. under the roof of our old Alma Mater. After Don and Don complete their numbers they are followed by the star of the old Zigfield Follies of 1954, Sylvia Nagaitis. Sylvia tired of the quiet life she lived in high school, so she came up here and mastered the art of being a night club hostess. After a wonderful evening of visiting with our friends, we decide to see what kind of a school system they have on Jupiter. As we step into the school building we are greeted by our old principal, Mr. Taylor, who informs us that he has employed all of our old faculty. After visiting for a while with each of our old teachers, we go back to our ship, blast-off for earth after oiue again seeing all of our old friends and classmates of the class of ‘53. Margie Luthi

Prophecy Of The Class Of ‘53 The sky is dark, overcast and foreboding as my assistant and pilot, Paul Newsom, and I sit in our rocket ship (designed by the famous rocket designer, Lola Sutter) awaiting clearance from the tower. Our mechanic and handyman, Ronnie Snow, is bustling around making a last minute check before we blast-off to Mars. There we have decided to visit one of our dear old classmates, Mildred Hibbs, who now owns a string of restaurants across the various planets. We finally get the signal and we start counting the seconds, 5, 4, 3y 2, 1, and we’re off. As we leave the earth’s gravi- tational pull and float swiftly through space, we decide to journey on to Jupiter to see another buddy, Gordon Reinhertz. Gordie, after the Senior play, became so en- grossed in producing that he started a new “Starway” (similar to our Broadway) on Jupiter. At last our destination comes into sight on the view-o-scope and we prepare to land. We hear voices crackle over our spacephones. Hmmmmmmm? It surely sounds familiar. I know!!!! Muriel Dowd!!!! We inform her that we’re her old classmates and inquire how she ever got to be employed in the tower. After explaining that she is now married and has taken this part-time job in order to support her loafing husband, Muriel agrees to meet all of us later at Mildred’s for dinner. We land, collect our things, and step out onto the “terra firma” of Mars, where another familiar face greets us. Frank Barnard steps forward to take our luggage and informs us that he is using this means to get enough money ahead to move on to Jupiter. He says that he has seen all of the U. S. and he is now sight-seeing on the planets. We hail a cab, or, as it is now called, a jet car, and proceed on to Mildred’s. We happen to glance into the rear-view mirror and meet the gaze of Sam Martin, who tells us that the jet car he’s now driving runs a little better than his old Pontiac, and that it’s a lot faster too. We come to a stop, pay our fare, and ask Sam if he won’t join us for dinner. He agrees and we trail into the restaurant. Mildred greets us and tells us to sit down. Her headwaiter and manager, Harold Fritz, comes over to take our orders. After being co-editor of our yearbook, Harold felt he could be a good manager so Mildred hired him to help her. Our orders are taken and we hear a voice with a faint Swedish accent repeat them. We ask who the cook is and we are informed that Algot Olson decided to take Home Economics instead of Agriculture when he got to Purdue. His Swedish dishes are famous throughout space. In a few minutes we are joined by Muriel, Sam, and Frank. After we have finished eating and are enjoying a second cup of coffee, we discuss old times and all the mischief we used to get into at old K.H.S. After good-byes are exchanged, we find a suitable hotel and check in for
