SENIOR CLASS PPRCDPHECY Yesterday, May 21, 2060, on the planet Moon, I received a letter from Patsy Green and Zelma Strong. I certainly was surprised because I hadn't heard from them for 2 light years. I'll read you a portion of their letter: Dear Doris, How are you coming along with your experiments with the inhabitants of the moon cellers. Our efforts to reach the center of the earth have been fruitless. The other day we picked up the Othello Look Out, and splashed across the front page was the headline of Dr. Charles Palmers latest exciting 7 day expedi- tion into the Malayan Jungle. Dr. Palmer fChuck as we used to know himj is now the world's noted authority on pygmy life. He brought back two specimens, Gogum Allen and Ugm Harry. You know of course, that Chuck is still a bachelor. Patsy broke her leg the other day and I had to fly her down to Mesa to the doctor. To our surprise the doctor was Rex King! I He related that he had been practicing medicine in Mesa for a few years. He invited us to his Quonset hut for tea where we met his plump little wife. But we didn't enjoy ourselves because their 14 kids were home from school. Yesterday we were spraying wheat fields when we dropped in and visited Peggy and Fritz Kliphardt who are still living on the old Kliphardt homestead. He's doing pretty well for himself these days. He was elected by popular vote, president of the 'Oldmobile Spaceship Corporation. Last year Fritz adopted two sons to run his business while he went on vacation. Last Wednesday we got stuck on the old Crab Creek road when Mrs. Johnny Hays, the fcrmer Joan Beebe, drove by on an old 4 wheeled tractor. She and her twin boys were a big help to us because they pulled us out of the ditch. Joan said she got a letter from Mary Mayeda who is teaching school in a one room school house in the Ozarks. Of course you know Mary hasn't married yet but she has two prospects-- two local yokels from the base. Mary sent Joan a picture along with the letter and it seems Mary has a modern poodle cut, horn rimmed glasses and her old familiar giggle. When I was getting ready to take Patsy back to Mesa to have her cast removed, I met Harold Beebe in front of the Post Office. He said that he was going to start his first regular flights to Mars. Since studying at the University of Alaska for 20 light years he has decided to make a complete summary of the Martian Lost Kingdom. We congratulated him on his recent engagement to the Martian Princess. I laughed so hard at Patsy this morning because she couldn't get her P.O. box opened. After a 10 minute struggle wiht the box, all she got was an old paper. If you know Patsy, she turned to the comic section first, to read Elmer Eggebrecht's Wild Big Hicup and His Horse Jingles. Of course you know if it hadn't been for Elmer's driving wife, Elmer would have been a wrestler. As a whole, Elmer's a pretty big success. Next on Patsy's list is always the society page. There, in headlines was the announcement of Shirley Bush Tree's 49th consecutive appearance at Walla Walla. You remember how Shirley met her fame and husband don't you? It seems she was walking down the corridor in the hospital where she worked as a professional nurse. She was singing the song that made her famous as she passed the Psyco Pathetic Ward. At the end of the corridor Wham she ran into the most recent psycho pathedc patient who had gotten out of bed to hear who was singing in the hall. Of course it was Mr. Tree. He was recuperating from his latest Broadway show: Kaw Leechy. He immediately gave her a 5 year opera contract. Shirley Bush Tree is really doing quite well for herself these days. Well, I have to quit writing now because Patsy and I are going to celebrate our 35th birthdays--again! I Love, Zelma
