During the year Mary Ruth Correll and Marvin Staller joined us. At the beginning of our second year we had lost Herbert Deno, Lee Sturgeon, Mary Ann Sturgeon, Mearl Estes, and Jean Ann Gick. Morris Ford, George Clark and Wilson Clark joined us so our teacher, Joan Mit- chell, had ten pupils. They were, Charlette Berry, Sharon Booth, Darlene Durflinger, Jack Hawn, Marvin Staller, Marjorie Steiner, and Junior Worley. Herbert Deno decided he liked good 'ole Pine pretty wellg so he came back for his third year, and Willa Bea Lawson and Morris Ford were with us for awhile. Our class consisted of twelve pupils. They were Char- lette Berry, Sharon Booth, George Clark, Wilson Clark, Herbert Deno, Darlene Durflinger, Morris Ford, Jack Hawn, Marvin Staller, Marjorie Steiner, Junior Worley, and Willa Bea Lawson. During the year we had two teachers. The first semester teacher was Cecelia Muller, and our second semester teacher was Mar- garet Leburg. When we started our fourth year, Herbert Deno had left us again. We had gained Eddie Brummett and Zula Burris but lost them during the year. I'm sure our teacher, Margaret Leburg, found eleven students very studious. We were as follows: Charlette Berry, Sharon Booth, George Clar , Wilson Clark, Darlene Durflinger, Jack Hawn, Marvin Staller, Marjorie Steiner, Junior Worley, Eddie Brummett, and Zula Burris. At the beginning of our fifth year we had lost Marvin Staller, Our teacher, Alora Clem, found our class getting smaller each year. We had only eight. They were Charlette Berry, Sharon Booth, George Clark, Wilson Clark, Darlene Durflinger, Jack Hawn, Marjorie Steiner, and Junior Worley. We were happy to see that we had two new faces with us when we started our sixth year. They were Marcyle Hendry and Mary Lee Brooks.

Now that we were in Junior High School we had several teachers. Our principal was Vern Green. After being with us seven years, Jack Hawn decided to leave during our eighth year. William Bryant, Wilson Clark, and Marcyle Hendry also left during the year. We gained Earline Charlton for only one year: so our class had nine members, Sharon Boot , William Bryant, Earline Charlton, George Clark, Dar- lene Durflinger, Jack Hawn, Marcyle Hendry, Marjorie Steiner, and Junior Worley.

PRUPHECY It is now May 31, 1966. I have just risen from a good night's sleep. I own a large Electronic School for the disabled boys and girls of the state of California. I sit at home and teach through a electronic mechanism to hospitals all over the state. The pupils number from five to ten thousandp they can see and hear me and ask questions. Since today is Saturday, I don't have anything to do. After breakfast I settle down in an easy chair and turn on the radio to catch up on the latest news. As I was listening, I heard some very exciting news. A Mr. George Clark had invented a photophone, a combination of television and radio. I listened with interest to the inventor as he explained that anyone can see another person any place in the world and commicate with him in his home or place of business. Suddenly I realized that George was an old classmate of mine at old P. H. S. I immediately went out and bought a set. I decided that I would contact all of my classmates of old P. H. S. I called George at the station. At first I didn't recognize himg then he seemed the same old George. I told him who I was, and he was very surprised to hear from me. George and I talked of old times back at P. H. S. I asked him if he had heard from any of our other classmates. He informed me that Marge had made an even bigger accomplishment than he. I asked him to explain, but he had to appear on a television program, so we said, Good-by. Next I brought Marge into focus. I was surprised at the exquisite penthouse that appeared on my screen. Marge was pleased to hear from me, and she asked me a million questions about my life. Then we talked of old P. H. S. Finally I got to ask her what her occupation was. She explained that she was a Lady Einstein. She said that she assisted and electronic brain that presented her with laborious problems and asked her difficult questions. She answered it's questions until the electronic brain got so disturbed that it blew up. I wanted to talk to Marge some more, but she explained that she had to build a robot from human brains. As she vanished I wondered what had become of Sharon. As Sharon came into focus. I saw a huge palace in the shape of a crown. She explained that she was the Queen of the Universe . Every hour she appeared before thousands of hopeful young ladies that wanted to become models and movie stars, and Sharon showed them how to walk, talk, and dress properly. I talked with Sharon for a long time until she had to help Miss America learn some new methods of walking. Sharon disappearedg then I switched my attention to Darlene. I tried to get Darlene 's place of business, but there seemed to be so much static that I couldn't focus it properly. All of a sudden a large 5-dimensional building came into focus. It was the biggest building that l had ever seen. Then I saw her, seated at the head of a huge machine. She was known as Madam Durflinger, the founder of the largest atom testing laboratory in the West. Her laboratory training at Indiana Central was the beginning of a successful career. She told me she was overseer of the lab which employed ten million people. Their city was now larger than New York because of her successful business. We talked of old times, our teachers, and principal, and how much that we really appreciated them. I told her about the successes of our other classmates. She seemed very happy to hear about them. But she couldn't talk too long because she had to break in a new foreman. I bade her farewell as she vanished. That ends a rather different reunion, but a very successful one of the Pine 56 seniors.
