Senior Class Prophecy A prominent Waveland teacher, just for the sake of being able to say “I told you so”, paid a fabulous price to a known professor at Culver Institute to peer into the future for him with his newly perfected time machine. The result was that the teacher went stark raving mad, so police are investigating at this very time. As the switch is thrown, here’s what we see!! Coming out of a cloudy haze, we sec Mary Ellen Miller teaching school in a Colorado Indiana Reservation. She always did have a preference for wild Indians. As we pass over the Windy City”, a gust of wind brings us the news that rancher Jeff Jeffries of Padock, Kansas has been chosen the outstanding liar of the vcar in an annual contest of the Liars Club of America that met in Chicago last month. Rolling on and on in an endless space, we see John Walker is now captain of the Minn- eapolis Lakers, a professional basketball team. A short note for the girls! He is still an eli- gible bachelor. Passing through Pot Hook, New Mexico, we see that Irene Hester, former home ec. teacher at Waveland, Indiana, has been found. It seems that she was wanted for the kidnapping of Texas, the little state that does all the strutting. Asked how she had secured the state she said, It was easy, I put it in the glove compartment of my Croslev.” She is being shipped to the Brookfield Zoo. Two gun “Pistol” Pitcock, a graduate of W.H.S.. finally laid down her guns to become the first ladv to ever hold the high rank of warden in Poughkeepsie Prison in Ohio. We just picked up the news bulletin that Mr. Max Gentry, the handsome thirty-eight year old bachelor of New York’s “400”, has been see with Miss Elmira Zilch, the most beautiful girl in the world. (Max has all the luck, doesn’t he, fellows?) Jerry Johnson, the space waves told us, is now better known as ‘Terrible Theodore”, the wrestler, and will defend his title against “Horrible Hoff bans”, former math teacher of Waveland. on March 21, at Madison Square Garden. (Note to gamblers: The odds are 2-1 on Iloffhaus.) Headline news is that William “Doc” Bolton has just turned down two coaching jobs, one at U.C.L.A.. and the other at Texas coaching the All Stars. He says he’s retiring because of ulcer trouble. Turning the beam toward Waveland we s. e that Ernest Brown has just acquired the position of third trombone player in the Waveland Symphony Orchestra after a nine-month tour of Putnam County. News reached us that Jon Foster, a not-so-hot-noblc bum, has risen to become president of one of the largest distilleries in Kentucky. From Las Vegas comes the startling news of the capture of Public Enemy No. 1, Victor Pence, the former principal of Waveland School. He was wanted for stealing government books. This crime is punishable by life in prison. As we pass through Hollywood we hear this news: Elinor Apple, first woman senator of Indiana, today officially hooked Wally Cox, television’s most elegible bachelor. This highly colorful romance started when Wally accidently hit Elinor while lie was riding his motorcycle. Although he is quite older than she, all seems well. Jerry Joiner, who was the smallest girl in the senior class of “54”, is now performing in Victor’s Flea Circus. Mrs. Glascock, a teacher at W.H.S., has just become a Bachelor. (Referring to her Degree.) As the machine keeps humming along, we pick up the news that Miss Linda Howell, of Waveland, has just won the International Hog ('ailing Contest. Another bulletin tells us that Mrs. Flossie Servies was released from San Quentin prison today after serving a twenty year sentence for embezzlement. It seems that over a period of ten years she had stolen over $5(),(XX) from the Waveland School, bv hopping up the books. Famed millionaire Sidney Shanks, formerly of Waveland, has just made his fourteenth billion. (Sidney always was good in bookkeeping.) Page Twelve
