THE ODQNIAN CLASS PROPHECY The more I kept looking at that long. mysterious letter, the more curious I became. I walked over to the table where I had re- luctantly placed the letter only a few minutes before. VVithout listen- ing to my conscience I started to open the letter, but in doing so I glanced again at the front and read the Do not open until the year of 1965 again. The postman had just delivered the letter. and ever since I had become more and more curious. But my conscience got the better of me and I tossed the letter carelessly aside again. and went about my work. As I was going into the kitchen, I happened to glance at the class of 52's,' picture hanging in my bedroom. This started we wonder- ing just what my old classmates were doing and wishing that I could see them. It had been a full twelve years and would soon be thirteen years since I had last seen them on the night of graduation. I still couldn't get the letter off my mind. The more I thought about that letter the more curious I becameg linally tossing all cau- tion to the winds, I opened the letter. I did feel a twinge of remorse, but I consoled myself with the thought that it would soon be 1965 anyway. I began reading the letter and was amazed that it contained the very question that I had just been asking myself about my class- mate. The letter read as follows: joe Humeriekhouse, the president of our class, carried his poli- tics a little farther and is now campaigning for president of the United States. joe hasn't married yet: his policy is that marriage and politics do not mix. Helen Smiley, the little girl of the Senior class, had been head nurse of the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for three years. She finally resigned her nursing career to marry the chief surgeon. In- stead of devoting her time to humanity she is now devoting her time to raising little doctors. Richard Smiley, one of the basketball players, is now a very competent mechanic for The General Motors Garage in Raglesville, Indiana. He is married to Nancy Sinclair, one of the former cheer leaders of Odon High. Nancy is now teaching a lot of little grease monkeys how not to yell. Lois Corn, that little dark-haired beauty, has now retired from the nursing profession. She just married a very successful hair dress- er in New York by the name of Monsieur jim Adams. Helen Shake, the little girl with the sweet smile, is very happy now. She can be with her Tommy all the time. Helen, Tommy, and Tommy jr., live on a little farm east of Gdon. Joyce Hugunin, the brain of the Senior Class. has turned out to be a career lady. She is a professor at Indiana University, teaching English, and literature. She has never married. but is very much in- terested in the embalming business. Maurice Miller, namely Luky,', is running a very large super market at Raglesville, Indiana. His charming little wife.

I finished the letter, satisfied with myself that I hadn't done any- thing wrong in reading it. I'm still curious though as to who sent it. But how would any human know the future anyway? Maybe Fate herself wrote the letter. I have just about come to that con- clusion. I-Iere,s thanks to her! Delores Resler Helen Smiley Nancy Sinclair
