Where Does Uur Future Lie? CSEN IOR CLASS PROPH EC YJ One day in Mrs. Rhyne's second period French Class, while I wasn 't thinking about the French Lesson at all - don 't get me wrong, French isn 't a bore, but when she starts handing out all that jazz about Vieux homme prendre le diner and ill fail manuvais, ' that's enough to start anybody daydreaming. So that 's how I happen to be there ten years later on the luxurious OCEAN QUEEN bound for Paris. Being adventurous as always, I investigated beyond the ropes where no one is allowedg and before I knew what had happened, the boat lurched and I fell over- board! After struggling for a few minutes in the water, I was rescued by a handsome skin-diver who turned out to be Jerry Canipe, an old schoolmate. Patsy McKnight, the social director, helped me get prepared to meet the captain. I was taken before the captain, and as I stood in front of a huge desk, I looked into the solemn, stern face of an old friend, Barry Sain. After the ship docked and Barry explained the rules, he asked me out to dinner. I accepted, and we went to La Cuisine Parisienne. As soon as we walked in, I smelled the wonderful aroma of pizza. I glanced toward the kitchen and saw Brenda Gilbert - she was the Chef. While eating dinner, we were entertained by Judy lonas, who sang and pantomimed the La Bataille d' Oreleans. After dinner I went to find a hotel. It was getting late, but the hotel owner, Franklin Schronce, said that he had several vacant rooms. I guess some friends always remain friends, because Jimmy Taylor and Timmy Reynolds turned out to be the hotel bell hops. When I got to my hotel room, I was very tired, but I decided to watch television for a few minutes. And, what more could anyone ask for than an American sports reel. First was the world series, which had been played off, and the winning Dodgers' star, Clyde Ingle, who had always played baseball. Then came the Southern Five Hundred races, won by a fast 1960 Impala Chevrolet driven by Jerry Huss. The announcer, Sonny Wise, signed the sports reel off, and next came a commercial. The lady who was advertising Revlon Cosmetics looked familiarg and as I looked at Madgalene Helms, I thought of high school days. At that time, I turned off the television and went to sleep. The next morning, relaxed and feeling energetic, I made my way downstars. I went to a neat little restaurant, where I saw Mattie Ann Smith and Jane Propst as wait- resses. They told me that they had been in France for four years. After breakfast, I took a boat ride down the Seine River. My taxie turned out to be Ralph Grill, who was my bus driver in high school. Gliding down the river, I noticed huge, beautiful green pastures and dairy barns. As we passed the house, I glanced at the mailbox and saw the name, Bobby Abernethyg I never dreamed that Bobby would be one of the world's greatest cheese producers.
