Class Prophecy I.M. Fancy meeting you here in this place of heavenly bliss. How did we get here? 0. D. Yeah — just fancy. You want to know how we got here? Well, I’ll tell you. Realizing that this place is scillions of miles from earth and knowing also that we’ve been drifting around in space for the past twenty years, you might say we’ve come a long way. Re- member the class outing? You and I decided not to go by bus with the rest of the kids. We were going to be different; we went in my car — or at least we started out in it.

I realize now that we used it, but what did we hit? 0. D. I’m not sure, but I think it was the Matter Horn but it might have been Pike’s peak. 1. M. It worked, Ha? O.D. Yah — to an extent. I wonder if Leo ever found out what happened to us. As we left the school I did have time to see Leo’s agon- ized look of surprise as we flew like a streak of greased lightening and disappeared. While we’re here let’s float around on a cloud that’s drifting earthward and see what the kids of the class of ’52 did with their lives.
