So I went to see a professional seer and asked him if he would look into the future and see what it holds for us twenty odd sen¬ iors. Instead, he sent me into a trance and this is what I beheld of the class of 1953. This is what you will find the remains of the class of ' 53 doing on June 1, 1973.
