. . • PROPHECY -OF THU CLASS ' 37 . . Once again Hay is here: the grass is green; the flowers 1 are in bloom; and the birds are chirping with gayety and con- . tentmcnt. But it is not the Hay of old 1937; instead it is a . .new Hay, an even happier and more prosperous time. To be de- finite, it is Hay, 1962, and the day of the annual reunion of the Class of. ' 37 fror.1 good ol ' llerrillviile High School. The ! .place is the beautiful lawn of Paradise Park near the calm .waters of a silver lake. The surface is dotted with small . -white sailboats that .skim lightly o ' er it. About the park . are tall trees that sway gently in the cool afternoon breeze, .swaying back and forth with the same raeloncholy, quiet, and . easy swing of a huge penulur. as it slowly counts out each min- . ute., day, and year until, young boys become men and old men . -have passed on. An abundance of wild flowers speckle the green, {n large and well-cared rock gardens are f r ' esL-bloom- ’. 4ng flowers, filling the spring atmosphere with their sweet . aroma. . Under the trees in a pleasing atmosphere of fresh grass, . newly-blooming flowers, and ancient pines can be seen a gay, ! laughing party of middle aged men and women. A luncheon is . being spread on the ground by some of the women, while the . others busy themselves about, shaking ' hands, laughing, and . joking over their old ' school experiences. In time the con- . fusion and. excitement of meeting old classmates again abates, . and the party seat themselves in a large circle in the shade ’. of an enormous treb, scarred and -orn from a century of ex- posure. -
