CLASS PROPHECY Garden Seeds! Here it is Thursday, February 22, 1996, and I'm just completing my Time Machine. Now to see if it works. Instead of looking into the future I'll reopen the past to see what my fellow members of the class of 'Ll-6 were doing in 1956. I'll just push this little button-Sizzle! Zipp! Scrape! Rrrt! . Well! Audrey Bengel is in the used automobile business, selling cars that make walking a pleasure! I see that Miss Mamie I.aTourr Cthe former Lucy Gale Turnbulll has just com- pleted a very successful run on Broadway in Dorothy Johnson's thriller Strychnine and Old Corpses. Frank Fagan has just opened a television station on the planet Mars, thanks to Nellie Isley's speedy rocket ship. They say Nellie got her inspiration for this ship, the Little Dwmkl, while ucruisingi' around on a basketball court. Another, now famous is Ivey Piner, who won a free trip to Hollywood by sending in ten box tops and twenty-five words Cno lessj telling why he likes Gordon's Gritty Graham Crackers. You think this was easy? Have you even eaten any? Minnie Belle Grady has a job with the world famous Rockettes. She's third from the end. Charles Silva, now a famous engineer, has finally completed plans for a tunnel from Los Angeles to Honolulu. One of the main features of this under-water road is a hot dog stand every six hundred yards to make the travelers feel at home. Professor Robert Yudell has published his latest essay entitled How to Change Anthracite to Sealing Wax. Lollie', Burrow and Marie Kelly are associate professors of Technology at the University of Tennessee. I see that Eunice Paige has won the Nobel peace prize for 1956 for settling the Martin and McCoy Feud. Lamar Sledge is working for the Gallup Poll. Jo Ann Ferguson and Pebble Hardison have won some important elections in New York City. Jo Ann has distinguished herself by becoming this eity's first woman mayor. District Attorney Hardison has already started to squelch the crime wave by hunting Baby-face Nelson. Weire wondering how long it will take the D. A. to discover that Baby-face was sent up in '31. Also in New York is Bette Manuel, who is singing at the Copacabana. Clinton Harrison, now a pro, spends his summers in Miami and coaches in the fall at Penn State. Valin Simpson is in Argentina spreading the good neighbor policy? Last but not least, Mildred Jackson is in China with the International Airways. You might say she's a flying Tigress' Chubba! hubbalj. P. S. The class of '46 seems to be flying high, and I'm sure they will continue to do so. Best of luck to them all, and may we never forget one another. GRETA BULL, Class Prophet. E 17 l
