Senior Prophecy The graduating class of 1954 was incomparable in many respects. This class was the instigator of the first annual All-School Formal, the first annual Homecoming celebration, and the new Constitution. They departed from the Chico tradition and had the first different Sneak Day in a long time. They also started the idea of a Prom Queen and a Junior-Senior Banquet. Four of its members were on the first basketball squad from Roundup to ever place in the state tournament, and one of these four was named to the North-South game to be played in Butte. Also, Bette Lowery became the first girl to take shop. High predictions follow for this unsurpassable 1954 class. In 2000, the year of the class reunion, Bill Field and Jim Ford have be- come high-ranking captains of the Space Cadet Corps. They are the President's two trusted individuals who make regular visits to the first stellar station located in space. This station was designed and perfected by the world's fore- most engineer, Dale Hougardy. Several more '54 graduates have headlined the news. Ray Birkett was the first man to ever bum his way completely around the globe, Sharon O’Neill was the first woman ever to climb the North Pole, and Anthony Mang has just received the honor of being appointed the first SIX star general. We see by the televised newscasts that Barbara Meyer is a missionary to the backward people of Peru, while her old Roundup High side kick, Betty Lowery, is deep in the interior of Brazil shooting pygmies on the earth's last frontier. Pathfinder” Bette's favorite motto is, The only good pygmy is a dead pygmy. Jack Shields, after 46 years, is still undecided as to which vocation to enter. His old flame, Donna Riley, is a millionairess who on June 1,2000, just married her sixth husband. James Brown is doing a booming business with his own exclusive funeral parlor and, sad to report, has just cremated poor Gerald Sandvig. Carl Langsather was so impressed by the movie Shane in 1954 that he became a pig farmer. His pigs have become world famous for their quality and are even served to Violet Keosky's night club in Paris. Incidentally, Revenna Hubble is working there as a chef and through diligent effort has acquired a position as head of the boiling water department. continued on page 46
