Class Prophecy It was a bright, cheery morning when I settled back in my seat on the' new D. C. 9 Mainliner. The date was May 2, 1973. Fifteen years ago I had gfraduated from New Ross High School. In fact, that was where I was going now--toSNew Ross. I had some business with McAnulty's DeLuxe Auto Repairs, Inc. I wondered idly if the owner were any relation to the Iack McAnulty who had been in my graduating class. When I I'eaChed New ROSS, I' went directly to the garage. To my surprise, I found that Iack McAnulty, who had graduated with me fifteen years ago was the president of this thriving business. While I was there I also found out that Dick Golladay, away on business, was the business manager for the firm. He was married now and had a little boy, Dickie Ir. Since this was my home town, I decided to stroll around a bit. Walking along Grace Avenue, I almost passed an accountants office that said Duncan Sr Co. on the plate glass window. I walked in and asked who Mr. Duncan was. I was informed that Miss Duncan ran the establishment and that it was one of the finest accounting firms in towm. Iust then, Gracie came out of her private office and invited me to stay for coffee. I accepted and we spent a pleasant hour talking over old times. Reluctantly, -I left, and went over to the public library. I found that I knew the librarian. She was Grace Keller, another one of my former classmates. She told me that she was married. She also said that she only worked in the library one day a week. Coming down the library steps, I saw Iim Newton and David Carver. While talk- ing to them, I learned that they were special-duty jet pilots who flew important officials all over the world. They were on their way to the airport now to fly Larry Gray to Russia to sign a peace treaty and to talk to the Premier about colonizing the moon. I asked if they were married. Iim said that he wasn't. David said that he was and had three sturdy sons and a daughter. Iim looked at his watch and reamrded Dave that they were due at the airport. I said goodby and continued on my way. I had some time to kill, so I decided to take in a show while I was in town. A picture that I had been wanting to see, The Big Man , was playing at.the Bluejay Theatre. Before the picture started, someone remarked that it ought to be a good show. I turned around .nd saw Bob Meier sitting beside me. We talked a few moments until the show started. When the screen credits were shown, I saw that Bob was the star, and that he was billed as The James Dean of 1973. He told me that Dick Sosbe was his co-star and was in Hollywood working on a S3, 000, 000 production called Angel With A Reason . After the show, I left the theatre only to bump into Gary Watson. He said that he had a chain of funeral homes and enjoyed his work very much. For some reason, business had been awfully good lately. I left Gary and started on my way to the airport. Coming down the street toward me was Admiral Buck Henderson. I stopped him and asked where Bill was. He said that Bill was a successful auctioneer and was auctioneering a large sale in the next block right now. I asked him if he was married. He said no, but Bill was and had a little girl and a little boy. I looked at my watch, and taking leave of Buck, again started on my way to the airport. Thinking back, I realized that I h vi seen or heard of all my former classmates of 1958.

Class History In the year of 1946, our Sputnik began its long flight through space to the major points of interest of our universe. The original crew consisted of David Carver, Gracie Duncan, Dick Golladay, Bob Meier and Jack Mc Anulty. The chief pilot was Mrs. Meek Our landing on the Moon was smooth and we stopped just long enough to change pilots, our new commander was Mrs. Duncan. Under Mrs. Duncan, we made a quick trip to Venus, upon, landing, Iim Newton stumbled through the cosmic mist to our camp. We changed pilots to Mrs. Smith and blasted off for Mercury. Mrs. Smith got us to Mercury where we changed pilots again, and under Mrs. Bunnell we flashed off to Mars, upon landing we looked around and met our new com- mander, Mrs. Barnett. Mrs. Barnett got us to jupiter and we transferred Mr. Feltner as our guide for the long voyage to Saturn. just before we took off Grace Keller jumped aboard, As we flew along a comet buzzed us and the driver, Gary Waston hopped aboard. We were now ready for the biggest jump of all! The long, long trip to Uranus, otherwise known as New Ross High School. We switched pilots again, to Mrs. Mason and blasted off for the hard trip to Uranus. We made a rough landing, but were happy that leg of the journey had been completed. Now in high spirits we were ready for the trip to Neptune. Our pilot, Mr. Harper, took us safely to Neptune where we changed pilots to Mr. Barnett and started trying to make a little money on our way to Pluto. By the time Mr. Barnett got us to Pluto, we were starting to meet our expenses. With high hopes, we took off for the Milky Way under the strong hand of Mr. Dimmitt. After adding Dick Sosbe,-we now realized that our fuel and time were running low so we began a headlong rush back to Earth under the direction of Mrs. Brown, stopping at the asteroid belt to change to Mr. Purdue and add Bill and Buck Henderson to our crew. We are now approaching the end of our journey and will soon be landing but when we end our journey, we will have had some wonderful memories of the good times and helpful people along our route.
