Prophecy It is the year 1975, and thenewP.C.H.S. has just been completed. Bert Cornish, the first superinten- dent of the new school, is walking through the halls, admiring the facilities he didn ' t have when he was going to the old P.C.H.S. Now he comes upon the framed picture of the class of ' 60. What a class!!! As Bert notes each individual picture of his classmates, we will peek into his mind while he thinks what each person is doing now--15 years later.

Billye Lou Tatman is the world ' s most fabulous lady poet, who wrote TANATHOPSIS, THE MORNING STROLL OF PAUL REVERE, SNOWBONDED, CASEY BOUGHT A HAT, and many, too many, others.

Gary Weaver was recently enshrined in West- minster Abbey in honor of his development of the famous quadrified turriculate testudo graeca, a Greek turtle shaped like a four leaf clover with a turret on t he top which is also useless. Dona Sharpe is Scientist Weaver ' s Private Sec- retary, which is suspicious because she has had no secretarial training. Actually she helps him with his math. Bob Amos is the millionaire ovmer of a chain of supermarkets. He races cars for a hobby, but somehow, the cars always win. Shirley Meyer became No. 1 on the F.B.I.
