SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The year is now 1976, the fourth day of the month of July. The graduating class of '52 from V.I.T. is gathering at RONALD EASLEY'S sky-home on a floating island, which he designed and built himself. The reunion will witness the sensational, collosal, extraordinary, breath-taking Burmill-Sexvan twelve-ring circus. The B. S. Circus has just arrived and is being set up. BULL MILLER, the strong man, is holding the huge center tent pole in place while the rest of the crew secures it. PHIL SEXTON is in a rear tent preparing for his evening show, Phil's Follies, the famous burlesque show. JACKIE ADCOCK and SHIRLEY ROBERTS are playing leading roles in Phil's Follies. While still in another part of the grounds, we find LEO BURKS, captain of the peanut vendors, roasting a week's supply of peanuts. ROY VAN FOSSEN is now practicing his dive routine, consisting of a jack-knife, 1 1 2 gainer, double backward swan dive into a wet sponge- THUD. The first rocket ship (also designed by RONALD EASLEY) is about to approach the floating island. Here it is, and the first familiar grad's face that appears is that of VADA LOU KOST, who is not letting her married life interfere with her stage career. Next is DELBERT LALICKER, who has risen from scooper to assistant manager of the Peoria Stockyards. DONALD ANDERSON, on being the next to arrive, was immediately captured (by mistake) and ushered to the monkey cage. Don has been working on the evolution theory. We are very fortunate to have LLOYD BUD GREEN with us today, for he is owner, player, and manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. It just so happened that Bud had an open date today. CATHERINE WEESE has just returned from the Belgian Congo where she has been modeling for the natives’ leading pin-up magazine, YUM YUM. SHERRILL CARRISON and SHIRLEY GUILL1AMS are now married and are living in Macomb, where their husbands are making as much dough as ever at Galloway's Bakery. LARRY ATWATER has gained his fame on the billiards tables. Larry has beaten the famed Willy Hoppe twice before poor Willy passed away. As a hobby, Larry also indulges in low-ball. JIM WICK T now owns half of Maxwell Street in Chicago and is making several million dollars annually. MARLYN JONES has finally realized his life's ambition and has replaced Gene Krupa as number one drummer. MARVIN REEDY, the nation’s number one trumpet player, has just replaced Harry James. LU ANN RIDENOUR is now coming down the gang plank escorted by her fifth husband. The first four have all committed suicide. CHARLES HUNTER has reformed since that fateful graduation night and has now become a Father of a mission to civilize the people of Pluto. ROSE MARIE HEATON now owns her own music shop in Los Angeles and is making millions on her own invention, the Sousanet (combination of the Sousa phone and the Clarinet). PAT ETTER has been head of the Research Department in Washington, D. C. and has at last made the headlines. She has discovered a sure way to kill dandruff. Also, as a hobby, Pat is trying to keep up with Luann. She has had four husbands to present. RICHARD HICKLE, last to ascend on this load, has done quite well for himself. Richard has spread the fame of Hickle Orchards across the entire continent until now the favorite American expression is Oh, nick instead of Oh, heck. The second rocket ship is now approaching the island, and at a timely moment, because the first one has just started to leave for another load. GLENN LEARNED is the pilot of this ship and has learned to handle it with the ease of his school-time hot rod. BOB SMITH, the class Romeo, has become a talent scout for the richest sheik of Arabia, and to present has found exactly 87 wives for him.
