S E N I O R P R O P H E C Y One afternoon in the year of 1975, I walked down the main street of my home town which now has a population of l0,000. As I looked down the street, I saw a streetcar rolling up Yantlsville Avenue. As it went by me, I saw that Lavonne Largent was the driver. She looked as pretty as ever, and had her hair in a little knot on the back of her neck, ln- stead of down around her shoulders. The car stopped at the corner where there was a sign saying 'Boys Barber Shop.n I wonder if that could be Bob Boys, so I looked through the window. It was Bob, but he had changed considerably. His face looked old and wrinkled, and his hair d1dn't look quite the same. He started to wipe the sweat off of his forehead, and his wig fell off! No wonder his hair d1dn't look natural. Then I turned .back no the street car and I saw Fred Rice getting out with ten kids. It seemed as though they were going to the barber shop. Those kids must be following the trade of their father, because they started playing 'Cops and Robbersu right on the side-walk. They got so rough that they knocked an old lady down. While Fred was standing there with his mouth open trying to apologize, he recognized her as Vera Lamb, an old class-mate. After help- ing her up, Fred asked her which one of the boy's she had married. After hesitating she answers, 'None of them. 'I am now a contented old maid.' Then she hurried on and Fred once more started to the Barber shop. As I looked back at the car, I saw Dale Smith getting out, with a high hat and a cane. He went into a building which had a sign WAdv1ce to the Lovelorn.' As I walked by I saw Dorothy Huffer sitting there giving Dale advice, He was telling her that he was the boss of Montgomery Ward and was in love with his beau- tiful secretary. The girl was much younger then he, so he wanted to know if he should marry her or not. He also add- ed, nshe has already asked me.' .The little old lady QDorothyJ who had white hair and a shawl around her shoulders answered, uFor goodness sake, man, if you love the girl, marry her!'
