SENIOR C LASS PROPHEC Y On my third expedition to the Tibetian Plateau, my company and I got lost in a blinding snow storm. We finally stumbled into the doorway of an enormous building. We opend the creaking door and found ourselves to be in the temple of a strange re- ligious sect. The room was empty but there on a small table was a strange looking lamp. I picked it up and started rubbing it, when all of a sudden, lightning struck, thunder rolled, and there before me stood a Genie. He said, What do you wish, Master? I was dumbfounded at first and didn't know what to say, butlfinally managed to stammer that I'd like to know what my old friends, the Seniors of '49 were doing in this year of 1979 A. D. And this is the story he told me. Marjorie Agler and Joyce Fetters are nurses and and are running a hospitable for broken-hearted old maids like themselves. Down a few blocks from the hospital, Edgar Allmandinger is working as a mechanic and blacksmith in a candy factory. You see, he tightens the nuts in the peanut brittle, and shoes the flies. Ruth Davis is teaching Home Economics and Music at Ohio State. In her spare time she gives piano lessons to the male students there. Don Black is also teaching at Ohio State. They tell me that his coaching is even better than Fitz Crizler. Bill Hey enlisted in the army, and the other day his sergeant told him to fire at will. Bill looked around and said, Where's Will? Phyllis Hamrick is now a famous milliner in China Town. On a sign outside her shop is written, Madame Hamrickee's Hoity Toity Hattee Shoppe. Just across the street inalittle white church, Reverend .Toe Thatcher can be seen giving his morning sermon. All the ladies in the congregation enjoy his singing so much that they can hardly be persuaded to go home when church is over. Speaking of singers, Jim Koch has now been given the name The Satin Voice by the bobby soxers, and is being rushed by dozens of beautiful girls in Hollywood. That reminds me, Ted Hakes is a test pilot for the new jet planes. He always was a speed demon and man of action back in the old days though. Do you remember hearing Gloria Trisel say that she would never marry? Well, she's married and a grandrnother already. Time sure does fly! Dixie Schlickman is in the watch repairing business with her husband, and l've heard tell that she's pretty good at making the old clocks tick. Betty Humerickhouse has taken up the art of wrestling and Ann Gibbons is her manager. The other night Betty got her nose broke, and they had to call on Dr. Ella Roehm, a famous woman surgeon, to set it. Unfortunately, Dr. Roeh.m's wave set evaporated on the way over, so poor Betty held her nose in her hands until more ca.-Ll-d be boughtlf Marjorie Stetler is still down on the farm, and be- sides taking care of 7 cows, 19 pigs, 1000 chickens, Z dogs, 5 cats, and a parrot, she now has 11 little Nettles in her hair. She sure is a busy woman. Realizing that l had now heard all about the Seniors of '49, I asked the Genie to shovel away the snow so we could be on our way. No sooner did I speak, than the snow had vanished, the sun was out, the Genie gone, and my company and I were in our rocket headed back for the good, old, U. S. A. 18
