PROPHECY CLASS OF 55” Since I always did have an urge to travel”, I decided to take a trip behind the Iron Curtain tosee my old class- mates who had been banished by the U.S.S.R. to Siberia. I will now explain how this all developed out of our senior trip. Mr. Reed, of course, was driving along about 80 mph with the speedometer showing only 45, when he gave one of his huge puffs on the old black cigar. He created a cloud of smoke that would make an eruption of Mount Vesuvious look like the smoke from a match. The cloud blotted out the sun and all nearby objects. Apparently the highway must have taken an abrupt turn to the north but we went straight east. The old bus bumped a few times but Mr. Reed kept it on an even keel. Lo and behold! when the smoke cleared away, we had come to an abrupt stop at the Kremelin's front door. Immediately all my classmates were deported to Siberia. Fortunately, that day I had on a bright red dress and they mistook me for a Red and I was sent to the United States to spy. After following miles of red tape I arrived in a Siberian prison camp to search for my old classmates. As I entered the camp the first person I saw was Glenna Wolfrom, our former class treasurer, selling stones to throw at guards. She was always trying to get money out of someone in high school too. And, as of old, she vyas still pulling Duane Ginther around by the nose. He was picking up the stones and carrying them around for Glenna. Some people just never learn. Just then a great commotion arose. I heard a loud, familiar voice saying, All right you kids, let's quiet down. Yep,same old President Bill Powell! He was head Gestapo man in the camp and the same old whip-slinger as in high school. He had just assigned a committee to entertain the fellow comrades. The committee reported they had rented a little hole in the wall from Mickey the mole Fraidenburg, a well known hole digger, and named it the JKP Club. It seemed Jimmy Putnam, Ram Reed, and Keith Reed had so much in common they decided to make a little food out of it. You see, the cover charge was two kernels of corn, which all comrades stole from Art Willard, the corniest kid in the camp. The main entertainment of that day was The Tipup Twins , Bev Austin and Suzzie Bachclder.. They were doing their age-old version of Shake, Rattle and Roll . They had added a few more wiggles here and there but otherwise it wasn't too much different than in high school. Another attraction was Dale Johnney Ray-Bawl Boy Slee. Again he did his mournful singing act of Cry with all the contortions. Instead of throwing pennies as the kids did in our Junior play in high school, the com- rades threw corn. The show being over I decided to wander around to see if I could find any more of my old classmates. I then noticed a sign Library For Privileged Comrades Only . I thought I'd look around. In the library I saw ever-ef- ficient Janet Sheldon in charge. Boy, the job of head librarian must have gone to her head. She had Bob Dennis and Lawerence McConnell taking inventory of all the and's and the's in the books as punishment for dropping one of the books. I decided to seek a more pleasant atmosphere. Next, I saw a crowd of people gathered. I decided to see what was up. In the midst I saw Reverend Joan Harris leading prayer. She had decided to save some of her unfortunate classmates. Among her most faithful members were BobDougan and A1 Forrest. They never missed a sermon. They sat there with a most holy look on their faces, but it appeared that while one of their eyes was intent on the heavens the other eye wandered to the collection plate near-by. Next I heard some excited screaming and saw another group of people. A sign near there read The McLouth Maulers vs The Russian Reds . It seems Laura McLouth had organized a basketball team of her own after being the manager of the Wolfettes in school. Among the starting line-up were Cagey Caroline Knoblauch, Dodging Dorothy Eckelbarger, Marilyn The Meteor Wett and Horrible Helen Beavers. Trying to keep the bench warm was a well known warmer Myra Malink. Since they were cheating like mad I decided to move on. In my path stood a tent. My curiosity got the best of me and I raised up the flap and saw Marilyn Baumgras cleaning whips. She was using a product she had made herself called Whipum . She was doing this for Bill Powell, she always was his Girl Friday . As I left the tent I stumbled into a hole, I went a little farther and stepped into another one. I wondered who was doing all the digging. As I looked around I saw Teresa Ilerblet sitting on the ground, bawling and wailing because she still hadn’t found her rock . I went on, feeling very sorry for her. Then I saw a group of athletes making passes. Making Passes ! That sounded familiar-ycp, there was Blushing Hugh Archer, Pluggable” Roger Curtis, Skyscraper Steve Doyle and Bob Muscles March on a made over football field. Watching from the side lines was fair and square Virginia Warner, apparently thrilled by their pass making ability. Just then someone made a pass at me so I left. I started walking down the road, when out of a cloud of dust came a team of mules, and who should be driving them but Bob Sayles. He was taking his yearly crop of corn into town. He asked me if I wanted a lift so I ac- cepted. Because of Bob's long hair and mangy beard it was difficult to tell which was the mule and which was Bob. When we arrived in town I got off and thanked him for the bumpy ride. I looked around and saw a printing office, the proprietor being none other than our former editor-in-chief Mary Jane Hutchings, with Theodora Christ taking care of the advertising. The name of their pride was the Siberian Scandal Sheet . I strolled down to the local pool hall and went in. There I saw Tom Croy and George Beebe very engrossed in a game of eight-ball. They always were a couple of pool sharks. I didn't get to see Sam Harmount or Phil Wetoskey on my trip as they were in solitary confinement for trying to talk three of the guards to death. I decided to climb on the dog sled and head for my mansion in California before I got mixed up in some of this corruption. On the way home I pitied my classmates but I loved seeing them again. PROPHETS: Rose Marie, Suz, Bev, and Pam 18
