CLASS PROPHECY The moment is tense. Not a person is stirring. The Senior Class of ’49 are gathered around the crystal ball of Swammee anxiously awaiting the message from the far away spirit. The purpose of this horseplay is to see what each of the seniors will be doing at this same time in 1959. The contact is ready. Wait------ Who do you suppose is the first one to appear? Why it’s Margaret Ritter. What is that funny thing she is holding in her hand? It’s a flask and test tube. You didn’t know it, but Margaret is planning to become a famous scientist and this proves her expectations------she is one. Our next image is Trinabeth Reed. What is that freakish looking garb she has on? Well, you couldn’t expect anything better because you see she is wearing the latest thing designed for interior decorators. Some class. And here’s Harold Baker. I have heard that his cowboy band is just out of this world In fact it has been rumored that he is giving Eddie Arnold a run for his money. Who would have ever thought of Blaine Mitchel becoming a famous agriculturist. They say his cross between the strawberry plant and the wheat plant has resulted in the most unique type of breakfast cereal. Buddy Cole steps into the spotlight. You know he has become a well-known minister and they even say that he will some day be another Billy Sunday. We see Dick Bailey sitting at a desk with his feet propped up, smoking a cigar, watching his secretary type his letters. We understand he is now quite rich from his investments made with embezzled funds of the Senior Class of 1949. And now the crystal ball of Swammee is no longer clear, but we part, much happier about the future of our dear class.
