SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
When we were selected to prophesy the futures of the
senior class of 1957, we wondered in what way their futures would be
revealed to us.
One day as we were walking along the road to school, we heard a
rustling sound and turning, we saw a tiny fairy. Immediately the
fairy spoke. “Are you the students who have been chosen to prophesy
the futures of the senior class? If you are,” the fairy continued,
“I can be of help to you.”
“To your left you will see one unusually large daisy, Pluck
this daisy, take it with you; and under each petal you will find
written the future oa a member of your class as he appears ten years
from today.”
The petals read—Joeline Allen was recently elected the first
woman President of the United States. Tommy Clark still lives with
his parents to keep from working. Shirley Watters is a proud mother
of triplets. Lenville Tucker and Lowell Jones have just come back
