Class Prophecy The Senior class of 1960 has finally unveiled its great invention--a crystal ball which will allow the members to look into the future to the year 1990. It is through this crystal ball that you are all going to be treated to a glimpse of what this graduating class is going to be doing. As the ball clears and the curtains part we see that it is raining cosmic dust in good old Sheridan, Montana. We look through the window of the new 10 story shop at school and see that Mr. Douglas, our class sponsor, is still trying to teach his students how to saw straight without getting a finger in the way. The door to the shop now opens and in comes Mr. Bill Marsh, America's leading expert on baled hay stacking. He has come to school to do some research on the latest stacker reports and argue the merits of the baled hay vs loose hay stacking with Mr. Douglas. The ball becomes cloudy but again clears as we arrive in Hollywood where we see Judy Mortensen, the outstanding men's hair stylist as she tries to give Yul Brenner a wave amid the boos of the onlookers. We also see that the first man in line is Elvis Presley who has come to Judy for a trim on the flat top she has designed especially for him. The vision flashes to a large impressive-looking building which is shaped like a modern car. As the crystal ball invades the privacy of a plush office, we find Steve Mortensen instructing a mechanic on how to remove the value cover from one of the new Mort- mobiles which Steve has the patent on. It looks as though Steve has made his million, but parked out in front is the 1936 Chevy truck which Steve is still driv- ing. In this same factory is a young, handsome engineer who is designing the Mortmobiles. This is none other than Buddy Baril, the dynamic designer who is taking the flaws out of next year's models. The only trouble he is having is that he has designed one of these new com- pact cars and he cannot seem to find room for the engine. Good luck, Bud. you have a bit of a problem to solve. The next stop is the new do it yourself hospital in the Hawiian Islands. Here, working over an ironing board massaging table, is Joe Glick, the head of the Physical Wrecking Department. It seems Joe received his education with Skeet Marsh and he is still trying to determine why all of his patients are dying on him. After the Army dismissed Elvis, they needed some- one to replace him so they chose none other than our own Jim Reynolds. After thirty years he has replaced his guitar with a violin and now sits down to sing to the officers. He figures after 20 years the Army will raise his pay enough so he can buy a bow for the violin and really make some music. As the crystal ball flashes back to Montana. Mon- tana State College comes into view. Here we find Joe Stauduhar teaching his first class entitled. How Not to Get Lost on Campus. The year before Joe had been voted the best campus guide of Montana State College. This year he is going to compete again but also include the first two blocks off campus. The vision now flashes back to Sheridan High where Fred Salmonsen is teaching the newly organized class of girls' physical education. Sheridan has finally got enough girls to warrant such a class. It seems there is a great rivalry between Sheridan and Twin Bridges where Clark Conrow is teaching the same class. All of the girls had been going to Twin Bridges to see Clark per- form his feats of strength, but with Fred in Sheridan they are coming back. Clark is considering going back to college to learn some new tricks. At the new B.M.I. Company (it used to be I.B.M. until Oliver Kendall got the switches in backwards on the letter head machine) we see Oliver still trying to figure out what is wrong with one of the computers. At last it seems he has found the trouble because he has just removed the pair of pliers which he lost in the machine two years ago. Milton Hunt is still trying to decide what to do for a career. He figures he has a lot of time because of the youth vaccine which he accidentally found while he was playing with his home chemistry set. According to his new book entitled Youth Forever, he will always be the same age he is now. However, he is still worried over things financially because his vaccine and book only bring him a couple million a year. The last member, but by no means the least, is Wild Bill Larson. Bill went down to Texas to grow some of those giant Texas potatoes, but he had some bad luck. He accidentally struck oil and he is really having trouble making those potatoes grow in the oil seeded ground after a dozen or so gushers. You better come back to Montana and be satisfied with the smaller, good potatoes. Bill. Now that we have found all of our classmates the curtains fall over the crystal ball and it fills with snow. We shall put it away but it will always be available whenever any members of the class of 1960 wants to find their classmates and see what they are doing. by Oliver Kendall 16
