PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ' 56 In the year 1966, having made our first billion, we ran out of things to do with it and so decided to take a world cruise to see what the rest of the glorious class of ' 56 was doing. We hopped in our custom-made gold plated Ford convertible and went to North Webster High to see what we could find out. We were very surprised to find that Mr. Robert L. Ritchie was still principal, but we didn ' t get to see him since he was taking a refresher course in chemistry at one of our leading colleges from the brilliant professor, Mr. Lowell Engle. Marty Gard was doing a wonderful job of teaching psychology to the second grade. We stopped to talk to Mr. Young for a while who is now the sponsor for the class of ' 70. He found talking a little difficult because of his very beautiful but also very long white beard. Noticing that the students seemed a little old for high school, we asked Mr. Young about it. He said that the bell hadn ' t rung since the day we seniors left school, and Mr. Ritchie wouldn ' t let anyone go home. He told us to go see Charlie Hunter, who was now coach of the Champion North Webster Trojans, so, being very careful not to trip on his beard, we went downstairs to the new ultra-modern gym. There sat Charlie, tearing his hair and crying. He told us that he was lonesome for his old buddy Don Mort who was traveling with the Harlem Globetrotters as water boy. We walked uptown a little ways and there, on the corner where the bank used to be was the biggest pool par- lor in the world sole owner and operator, Mr. Red Pearson. We went inside to look around, expecting to find Dan Elliott, but Red said that he was in jail for murder. He was accused of killing time. We got back in the car and drove into the country where we saw two farm houses side by side. The one, with three stories and 720 acres of land was owned by Arnold Weimer, President of the Farm Bureau. The other was too tall to see how many stories it had because the clouds covered the upper stories completely. It was the home of retired millionaire farmer, Larry Richcreek, who, after making his money farming, decided to turn Hell Driver and is star of his own show. Nearby was the biggest junkyard in 14 states, owned and operated by Gale Black and made up entirely from Larry Richcreek ' s old cars and who should we see sorting around for car parts but Harold Mickley, who is a contractor build- ing bird and dog houses. With no one else to see around Webster, we decided to head East. At the famous Vassar school for girls, Jim Kuhn is honorary president and Professor Vernon A. Fawley, Jr. , gives tuba lessons. We fin- ally reached New York and looked up Norma Barnhart, career girl. She is running a very fine Lonely Hearts Club. She took us down to see Ronnie Kiser trying to set a flag pole sitting record on a 2-mile flagpole. He didn ' t feel much like talking so we hurried on to the park to take a horse-back ride. One of the horses fell and dislocated his tail so we took him to the veterinarian, who was none other than Carolyn Whitacre. We took a plane to Europe, stopping off for a moment in South America to see the brilliant scientist, Lee Lawrence, who is finding new and bet- ter ways to cure sleeping sickness, from which he is a life-long sufferer. In Europe we first went to the circus in which Phil Leach is appearing as the laziest man in the world and Royal Jefferies as the living skeleton. In Paris we found Thames Hickman modeling the remarkable three-way stretch girdle for men, which he designed. Norma Jane Rickcreek is also modeling in Paris at the saloon of Pierre, where we found Beverly Hudson, who was trying to find ideas for Esquire Magazine covers, which she draws. Peggy Rhodes is touring Europe withher playboy husband. It seems she decided to marry a regular cut-up instead of a butcher. Janet and Stanley are running a large factory. Stanley manufactures the manes and tails for hobby horses and Janet counts the hairs in each tail so everyone is sure to get a fair deal. Diane Pierce and Larry Hunter Page 18
