Page 82 OUO VADIS POST MORTEM As far as the world is concerned, I am the one remaining member of the class of '58. In my profession as pall bearer I have carried on the Webb tradition and have carried all the students, let me tell you their story. I, Phil Smith, have seen them come and go. Today, I was pall bearer of the last one excluding myself. Joe Montgomery was buried this afternoon June l4, 2043. Gus, as he was commonly known, was the world's greatest dance instructor. Lee Levy died about a year after he was finally kicked off of the Thomas estate, where he had been sponging since his graduation from Webb School. His last words were, Who is Marie? Potter Cantrell died about three years before Lee. Potter had been a great success by monopolizing the zurp industry. I don't know what happened to Bill Powers. The last time I saw him he was boarding a Lunar-earth rocket ship. It is suspected, however, that somewhere in flight, his head was severed from his neck by a small gamma ray. I remember well how joe Murphey and James Murry Davis met their fate. The day after graduation they met for the last time-a duel to the death. One stood on Baldy and the other on Woody. The fight was resounded for miles around. It was a grave spectacle. Then all at once it was over, Murphey's nose struck home, instantly disemboweling James Murry, however, the blow, though fatal, was not a quick death-blow, so James Murry, with one deft swash, severed Murphey in two. James Eatherly was one of the first to go. He was drafted into the army right after graduation. One day while he was cleaning out a garbage pail, he twitched and fell. We dragged him out three days later. Bill Durden was hung by the K.K.K. on june 15, 1969, after making a speech proposing integration. Thad Thomas died a natural death. He left to the world Emily, ten children, twenty-seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grand- children. Ernest Edenton was run over by a power mower. fHe was probably asleep and Miss Sibyl wasn't there to awaken him.j It took several days to pick up the pieces.
