Cl ass Prophecy CLASS OF 3 6 1 t is the summer of 1946 and a liny black speck is seen to be gliding along upon the shiny ribbon of one of the latest flexible, shock-absorbing, salt highways. The speck rapidly materializes into a car somewhat similar in design to a rocket ship. As it ap- proaches another car going in the opposite direction, it keeps in the center lane and does not slacken its speed. A terrible collision seems imminent, but the rocket car rises neatly into the air, glides swiftly over the other car, skims gently to the pavement and rushes on. The seven occupants of the strange contraption appear to be cool and unconcerned over the feat of the car, and continue playing chess while they talk animatedly. Five of the group arc none other than Bert La Fuze, Donald Garber, Robert Shipp, Earnest Wilkins, and Courtney Boom, who compose a world famous jazz orchestra known as the “Jammers. The other two occupants are Patsy Merritt, now known as Countess, and Opal Patterson, movie actress, who fascinates the public as the brunette May West of 1946. Patsy is telling me others of her travels and encounters with former classmates. She says that Nancy Crandall, contralto, recently took Broadway by storm and that Dorothy Gentry and Ruth Wallace are enjoying new-found wealth, said to have been inherited from rich uncles. Patsy adds that she is skeptical as to the source of this wealth as there have been several major bank robberies lately. The seven are on their way to Prescott where they hope to see old acquaintances. As they approach the city they find it very different from the Prescott they remember. Large parks and resorts surround the city, which has expanded considerably. Skyscrapers decorate the business district and in the very heart of the city stands a place that is a delight to all tourists. This is a fine graveyard for old cars; it is maintained by Ross Cravcr The new high school located upon the shoulder of Thumb Butte commands a beau- tiful outlook of the city and surrounding territory. This so-called back to the hills movement was originated by Mr. Bast, chemistry teacher. The high school provides training in every occupation, even aviation which is taught by Harry Higgins, daring stunt flyer. Take-offs are made from the top of the building which has been made into an ideal landing field. Near Granite Creek the group is attracted by the noise of a whistle. To their amazement they see an old fashioned steamship puffing up the stream. Upon investi- gation they find that the creek has been widened and connected with Boulder Dam. Phil Marquette conducts the tours in connection with this project. He welcomes his classmates with many a tale concerning his interesting adventures. After reluctantly leaving the boat the company proceeds to the city hall to visit Mayor George Travis and his council composed of Dick Robbins, Chester Cook, and Hiram Leffingwell. They are told that the mayor and council are engaged at present as they arc trying to decide whether the new suits of the city's basketball team are to be blue or red. While lunching with the mayor and council the group hears loud cries. All fear a ••••••• PAGE 10 T
