CLASS OF 1947 PROPHECY At this time we would like to show the Seniors prophecylng. Being only amateurs, don't expect a life a look in on our crystal top sees you ten years in the giving the top a spin, we find ourselves taking off on Looking to our right, we see a volcano erupting every our ability for history, but just future. Ah-h-h-h the BakerPlateau. two minutes, but wait a minute folks, that 1sn't a volcano, that's Marion Baker himself. Seeing that Marion has as much steam as ever, we won't take time to stop. Taking the first road to our right,wef1nd ourselves pulling intoaroad- side inn. After listening to nspencerville City My Homeu sung by the Bow Tie Crooner of '57, Glen fsinatrab Akey, we refresh with a Knop Cola, whose famous inventor is none mmer'dnnImnald Knop, and a hot dog apiece rolled in that outstanding Nusbaum relish, whose founder is also another school chum, Frances Nusbaum, present owner of the country's largest relish factory. Well, we must get back to our traveling if we are to locate all the Seniors from the class of '47. After riding for a little way, we come to a small Indian settlement and there sitting with all the papooses, we find Paul Howe, the most reliable baby sitter in the North- western United States. After helping Paul toddle a few papooses we see the medicine doctor approaching. Getting a closer look at the doctor, we recognize the face of one of our chums, Myrtle Bry. Myrtle is now thirteen thousand medicine pow-wows. in size, but some of the things we when we find ourselves entering the are seated, who do you think takes known among the Indians for her some The next stop is a much larger town see are not so great. The first is largest night club in town. When we our order? It's that little handsome hunk of man you all know, Richard Miller, who is now the fastest hash slinger and do-nut ringer of all night clubs. Discovering ourselves to be quite tired, we decide to spend the night in a hotel on one of the minor streets, called the Sheefel Slumber. The manager of this small but hospitable hotel is none other than Harry Sheefel. Harry says he hopes to expand in the near future and build a larger hotel so his friends can catch up on their sleep bspecially as he did in the good old days.J In the morning we leave the city. Winding up a mountain side, we are stopped as we go to cross a toll bridge by a man who looks quite familiar. As we remember him, he never had much success in growing whiskers Cexcept for the Senior Playl but now has a beard to his waist and is the old hermit of the mountain, Warren Fitch. We turn around and go back down the mountain side. Taking another road, we find ourselves driving onto a small desert. Seeing a small Hindu settlement, and then hearing the chapel bell, we decide to attend the early morning services. After the services, we recognize the priest as Forrest Reasor. On the outskirts of'another c1ty,1n see a new opera house which we decide to attend. We enjoy the opera very much and leaving the building, we see another familiar face. It is that of Ruth Kelley, who is attired inscrub woman's clothing. Ruth tells us that she likes her job,but some day for a little extra money, she hopes to sing on a two-minuteadvedusemmat for the All-Purpose Rit Company. Getting back to the car, we discover that the gas tank is empty. Pulling into the nearest filling station, we are considerably shocked when we recognize the caretaker as Blaine K1mes,who tells us he is the owner of a small car factory and is the inventor of a new car called the K1.mes Killer. Passing the morgue, we see the urdertaker and 1t's that digger O'Dell, Norman Ritenour. Buck tells us that businem is dead! Heading out in the country, we come to a little red schoolhouse We are surprised to see that old school marm herself,Opal Carnahan. Opal says teaching hillbillies is OK except for one very disobedient student. She tells us he always acted so awful while in high school. All of a sudden around the corner of the schoolhouse comes a man we know. It is that cutter-upper,Kelth Fry. I suppose you wonder why Keith is in school. Well, he says it is the only place he can find to really rest since his wife kicked him out two months ago. Deciding we had found all theseniors from the class of '47, we head for home. Driving by a mailbox we read Mr. and Mrs. Huckleberry, then remembering our old school chum, Kathryn Halbert, we remember that she married a farmer from the hills, has athmlly of four, and is living very happily on their lO-acre patch. We seem to be slowing down. Why,of course, it is because our top has stopped! 12 1- 'J
