Class Prophecy When we were assigned the task of writing the prophecy for the Class of ' 66, our English class had just made a study of H. G. Well ' s book, THE TIME MACHINE. This gave us the idea of making our own Time Machine as an English class project. With much toil and hard work, the project was completed on May 31, 1966. So, with further ado, we set the dials and adjusted the indicator for the year 1976. The Time Machine then revealed to us what the future held in store for the members of the Class of ' 66. As the pictures of the class members flashed across the small picture screen, we were amazed to foresee that: JEAN ARTHUR is now married and manufactures stilts so she can be on the lev el with her husband, Tommy.
