(Signed) The Class of 1947 Class Prophecy The year is I9J 7, I am standing in front of a big tent. A sign, “Have Your Fortune Read , is posted in front of it. The gypsy fortune teller it from the Far East in person. It costs fifty dollur for one minute of her precious time. In a moment of weakness, I go in. A queer table is placed before me with u shining crystal boll upon it. Just as the gypsy is ready to Bit down, her helper interrupts and soys that she is wanted on the telephone. I look uround the room nt the gaudy colors. An idea suddenly comes to my mind—that is to see if I cun steal a glimpse of my former W. S. I . classmates. Clouds in the hall roll around, but Inter things become clcur. I see someone appear, first small, then lurge. To my surprise it is Elaine Kretain, my old Haaxmate nnd roommate. She is riding a horse on u large prairie—when and what on earth is she doing? In a short time, I see a herd of steers roaming around. A tall husky blond fellow conics riding up to Elaine. He is the same old Duvid. I look at her left finger. Certainly, they have been married. The state is Montana because 1 remember them speaking of a ranch in Montana during our school days. They ride home and the house is a .modem ranch home. Distantly the door flies open. Two children, a boy and a girl, come running and crying toward them. They have been fighting as ull children do. Dave's und Elaine’s married life seems happy. The cloud blurs my vision ngain. Now George comes into the picture. He Is all dressed up in a pilot’s uniform and is about to get in a rocket to fly to Mars. Ah! I watch him make the trip nil in the space of forty seconds. He finds n beautiful girl und many sccrvts for the atomic energy commission, lie brings the girl to America nnd marries her. Other men envy George nnd they want to fly to Mars, but never get to the place because the document on how to build rockets is destroyed by a fire.
