CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1944, as all good children went to school, among them were children who stood as the best. And it was the hand of fate which finally directed them into the halls of NYCUHS, as the class of '56. And now it is these children who have finished school and taken their places in the world that we devote this prophecy to. And it came to pass that the mighty class of '56 had finally emerged successful throughout the world. They were destined to take their place in the world ever since their cute smiling faces first peeked at the outside. The world had changed since that memorable year of 56. Atomic energy had been finally conquered successfully. Yes, it is a com- pletely different world that we have for a background as we look into the class of '56, in the new present year 1976. Have you ever locked up into the heavens and wondered what really goes on up there? Let us take a closer look and see. Well, what do you know! There's some sort of a magic world up here. Its unbelievable! Who lives here I wonder?..........HELLO!!! I am the GHOST SPIRIT of the graduating class of NYCUHS, of 1956. When that great class of '56 graduated, I was chosen to forever watch over that class. And each year I make a check on my little angels. Would you want to listen to my report on my cherished ones before I turn it in to he Highest of GHOST SPIRITS Well on the day I was to begin, I checked on my rolls first and then went on down into the mortal world. First on the list was I.F.ROY SHONTZ. I found Leroy in Parker City. He now is the sole owner of SHONTZ TRIJCKLINES— COAST TO COAST. Next was STEVEN COX.
