CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1975. A mighty eagle-symbol of our country, township, school, and teams-leaves his solitary nest on a mountain peak to seek the members of the Z. H. S. Senior Class of '55. As the eagle flies slowly over Texas, he sees Thelma Turner, who is serving as that state's first ambassador. On he soars until he reaches the great midwestern city of Zionsville. Instantly he sees four people whom he recognizes. Ralph Atkinson heads the list as principal and chief paddle-handler of the new high school. In this building he also sees Don Pavey, who has succeeded Mrs. Edith Reese as typing teacher. Mr. Pavey reports that all of his students have received their 70-word pins. Still engrossed in his favorite subject, Bill Barger has taken Miss Roby's place as English teacher. Peering into the office, the eagle blinks in amaze- ment. Here sits Dave Beldon, Director of Public Relations. As the great eagle wings his way aloft to leave Zionsville, he sees a limousine pull up to the curb, and a chauffeur opens the door for a distinguished- looking man. He recognizes Carl Crane, millionaire owner of the country's most productive oil well. The mighty eagle hovers over the outskirts of the city, where he sees Winona Hummel, chief needle jabber and straight-jacket expert in the Zionsville Booby Hatch. Also, the winged observer catches a glimpse of Nancy Harmon, who is private secretary to the president of John Deere Implement Company. As he leaves the midwestern city, the bird's feathers are ruffled when Jerry Smith, setting a new speed record between Zionsville and Carmel, breezes down the road. Flying south, the eagle views with his piercing eyes several of the class of '55 who are now in Indianapolis. Jon Sharp, who has always ,liked journalism, is selling THE ZIONSVILLE TIMES on the streets of the city. The world's largest used- car lot is owned by Lloyd Sadler. Ralph McFarland is rollin, in dough at the Continental Baking Com- pany. At General Motors he learns that Jack Mc- Clellan is the new vice president and has over 310,- 000,000 in stock. The eagle hovers over the stock-car race tracks long enough to see Don West become the only per- son to win his 1000th race in an Olds '98. At the nearby Indianapolis Speedway track he sees Bobby Atkinson, now the ace driver of Jimmy Wood- chuck's race car, The Woodpulp Special. Northward the eagle flies,,pausing at Eagle Vil- lage long enough to see Joan Neese, private secre- tary to the president of the Better Bubble Gum Factory, and Ronnie Hudson, president of the You-Lose-All Bank. Still northward he soars until he reaches the second largest city in the state of Indiana, Waugh. Here he finds four members of the class of '55. Betsy Atkinson is chief bottle washer and pill pusher at Waugh General Hospitalg Martishi Boffo is top popsicle taster for the Snowball Icicle Com- pany, Marion Adkinson is special lipstick taster for Waugh Lipsticks, Inc., and Mr. Kenneth At- kinson is the town marshal and jailor. Before he leaves Indiana, the eagle views two more Z. H. S. graduates. Whitestown boasts a Bachelors, Unanimous Club, of which Marylin Dag- lish is private secretary. The Shannondale basket- ball team has Sandy Sanders as its first captain. After a long flight to Washington, D. C., the mighty eagle rests on the White House. From there he sees Ruth Miller, the first woman representative to Congress from Big Springs, and Suzanne Stewart, who runs a dress-designing studio for retired secre- taries. A short journey brings the inquiring bird to New York. This city boastsf?J of John Venard, who is assistant to the assistant to the assistant metallurgist at the U. S. Rocket Research Center. Gene Marsh stars as first-string catcher for the New York Yankees. Dave McCray is author of the five novels which top the best-seller list. Bob Dulin and Bob Moore are owners of the leading dance studio in New York. They give lessons to girls only. On a theatre billboard the eagle spies a pic- ture of Don Buskirk, who has taken Julius LaRosa's place as the bobby soxers' hero. While visiting a shut-in friend at the Brooklyn Zoo, the eagle meets Mary Dome, superintendent of nurses for baby chimpanzees. As the great bird leaves New York on his mission of discovery, he passes a giant man-made bird of American Airlines. Within he sees Joyce Jervis, noted stewardess. In Baghdad the eagle finds Bill Kaser, the world's most famous speech instructor. Also, he sees Sonny Smith, the gifted aeronautical engineer who de- signed the first interplanetary plane. Lastly, he finds Larry Smiley, now a member of the Foreign Legion serving in El Gheriat esc Schergia, Africa. His mission ended, the mighty eagle returns to America, where he settles wearily on his nest in the Rockies to ponder over the marvels he has seen.
