Semor Prophecy The other day, as I was watchrng the WEAK news bulletrn over my rnter-planetary tele caster I was surprrsed to see Cyou guessed rtl an old classmate of mrne berng rntervrewed bya reporter It was Gary Tweddale the brg crgar tycoon owner of the Tweed Tobacco Co maker of Tweeds longer lastrng more durable plastrc crgars And as I found out rn the rntervrew Gary was gorng to sponsor the frrst annual Mrss Solar System contest of 1975 Thrs lrttle rncrdent got me to thrnkrng about my old classmates Frnally I decrded to try to track down some of them rust for old trmes sake so I sat rrght down and wrote a letter to the local B F T D I O O C fBureau For Trackrng Down Informatron On Old Classmatesl Thrs year of 1975 rs certarnly full of convenrences Cfor people tryrng to track down rnformatron on old classmatesl A few days later I recerved a return message contarnrng my classmates names Cmany of whrch I had forgottenl therr addresses, and rnformatron about them At the head of the lrst was Dale Losher Bev erly Hrlls Calrfornra Dale rs makrng a serres of prctures for televrsron and rs fast becomrng a star on One Gun Theater Everyone had always felt that when Wakely retrred Dale, the croonrng cowpuncher wrth hrs boots and swaggerrng gart would take over However western prctures have are entrtled Lopealong Losher and Hrs Plane tord Pals Next on the lrst was Rrchard Vrsserrng and from the rnformatron I could gather concernrng hrm he rs a brg restaurant owner rn New York Hrs place of busrness rs known as the Frshworm Pal-ace Spaghettr rs the mam drsh Brll Hard man another old trmer from the class of 55 has a couple of rmportant jobs rn Rrch s restaurant He measures the spaghettr and cuts rt off rn strands of equal length and count the meatballs as they pop out of the automatrc pop up meatball machrne I always knew that Brll would put hrs great understandrng of physrcs to use As I went on down the lrst I found Phyllrs hemp s address as Washrngton D C I found that she had been elected toCongress by the Alaskan legrslature She has won many rrghts for the Eskrmos by her oratory rn Congress such as socral securrty for retrred carrbou hunters over srxty frve, and an rnvestrgatron of the redherrrngs rnfrltratrng the salmon mdustry jean Schertz was my next encounter on the lrst She rs lrvrng rn Chrcago and workrng on a televrsron program where

famous as unde feated Horrrble Harry the Hrdeous Head Locker He derrves hrs name Harry from the trrc way he masters hrs opponents Dale had always been proud of the harr on hrs chest Crt was a cute lrttle thrngb but only because I saw hrm on t v a number of trmes drd I belreve that he could ever comprle enough brush to hrde behrnd thus eludrng hrs foe Emrly Janssen I found, has marrred a rrch farmer from the Lowpornt area and has clrmbed to the hrghest rung of the ladder rn Lowpornt so- crety She even belongs to the local chapter of the Socrety For Wrves Of Farmers Wrth Hrred Help The presrdent of our Senror Class ofl955 Paul Anderson came next We all knew Paul would make good He has a yob rn an astronomrcal lab oratory rn Nevada just lately Paul has been observrng a newly

workrng furrously on a rocket shrp whrch he rntends to navrgate to The next name I saw brought back old memor res at once It was my old pal Brll Gardner Wrllre has frnally made Baseball s Hall of Fame He rs the custodran there And accordrng to my lrst of rnformatron he rs strll gorng steady wrth Delores Whrrrell Brll has never got up enough courage to pop the questron even though rt was Delores s
