C9lass 1P路rophecy

BY RODNEY DANCO Two decades from our commencement day, you will notice a modern castle standing on the crest of the Smoky Mountains in the United States, and it will be owned by me.

One rainy night after graduation, I dragged myself with my suitcase along a hidden path. I was wearing a special pair of glasses with which I could see at night. When I reached the rapids, there was no bridge, so I opened my suitcase and a portable bridge came out of it. I walked across the rapids with no trouble at all. The bridge r eturned to the suitcase again.

A great entrance door was in front of me, and I unlocked it with my skeleton key. In the entrance hall, there were numerous pairs of rats' eyes staring at me. Then the rats began to play around my soaked shoes. I came to an automatic door which opened only for me, and it had a sign on it which said, "Top Secret". Then I walked down the rotten stairway ruined by the dampness from the waterway at the bottom of the steps. A boat pulled by two well-trained sha rks was wait ing for me to get in. As soon as I sat in the boat, it zoomed for a bout 15 minutes in order to arrive at my bedrom which was guarded by my three musclar men , GEORGE PRENTICE, EUGENE WADE, and JAMES BROGAN. In my bedroom, there stood my beloved time machine cleaned by my two helpers, DAVID HOOVER and his wife, BARBARA PINTARICH. They told me t hat my time machine was ready to go. The necessities for my trip was on my messy table. I put a ll the things in my time machine.

When the machine was on, the lights were blinking on the instrument panel. When I turned the lever t o 436 B. C., my time machine was spinning very ha rd so that I couldn't even see what the outside looked like. I landed near t he P yramids, and I knew that I was in Egypt. I hid until t he morning came. In the morning, thousands of soldiers s urrounded the Pyramids and took me to their queen , Cleopatra . Suddenly I found out that Cleopatra was really SHARON S HADY. Sitt ing next to her was Julius Caesar. He was DEXTER SMITH. He got up and hugged me because he didn't think I would come to see him. He asked me if I knew of a way to conquer the world. When I gave him my automatic gun and grenades, he called his soldiers to be ready for t he conquest of the world. Cleopatra talked with me for a while. She said that there was a tribe that always fought w ith her soldiers, but she couldn't stop that tribe. The leader of that tribe was PAT PARSONS. I went to his tribe and saw Pat yelling at his 46 men how to capture 50,000 welltrained soldiers. I told him not to fight with t hat great number of soldiers.

He understood me and began t o move out to a place where there was peace.

I went back to my t ime machine and rested f or a while. Then I turned the lever to 50,000 B.C. Rex, a dinosaur, missed my t ime m achine by an inch. Two cavemen jumped on me as I got off the t ime machine. They wer e LEON GLAZEWSKI and HAROLD MOWL. They carried me roughly to t heir tribe, a nd their wives, MARCIA CONTE a nd DIANE MUMFORD, were there.

Supper was r eady, but I couldn't eat because the meat was raw. H arold said, "Yum meat good." These words made me sick, so I gave them my matches and taught them how to start a fire and how to cook the meat.

They f ound out t hat it tasted more delicious when it was cooked. Then I went back to my time machine while they were busy eating the cooked meat.

I turned the lever to 1870. "DALE (FORD), the Kid", had just passed me and left dust on me. I thought he was a good guy, but he came out of the town with four bags of money. I took my motorcycle out of my t ime machine and rode to the town. The people were scared because they had never heard the loud noise that my motorcycle made. I asked t he banker what ha ppened to Dale Ford. H e said that he had suddenly changed to a thief two mon ths ago. I recognized that the banker was TOM KUSZAJ. H e owned a huge manison, and he had ten maids. The maid who was in charge of all the other maids was JUDY KRAMER. I sat and talked to Tom and J udy.

There was a knock on t he door a nd Judy opened it. Ther e was Dale, The Kid, with his face covered, a nd he pointed his gun at m e. He put his gun down because he r ecognized me. H e, a ma n with no f eeling for anybody, was crying because he couldn't believe that I was t here. He thought that I was dead. He was a thief because he had no friends, a nd he thought that stealing was f un. He said that he hid all the money in a cave, and the cave had just collapsed. Instead of letting t he people ha ng him, I took him with me in my time machine a nd drop ped him off at 1919.

I went back to 1865, a nd I was in the middle of t he battle of the North a nd the South. I had many na rrow escapes: three cannon balls went over my head; a bayonet missed my stomach by a n inch ; a nd many bullets missed me. Boy, I was lucky because there wer e no sharpshooter s in this battle. MARTY MAJOR, the general of t he North, grabbed my arm and hid me in a trench. I saw three nurses busy bandaging the wounded men. Marty told me tha t they were PAULETTE HUMMEL, JANET OVERBECK, and PATTY GoETTMANN. I gave t hem my first aid kit, and now they worked easily.

Marty told m e that HARRY LANG, the general of the Sout h, was wounded, so I went across the front line. I saw three other nur ses carrying a stretcher with a 400 pound man. I helped t hem carry it to a hospital. These nurses wer e SHARON McGUIRE, SHARON PICARD, and JUDY WILLISON. Harry was on the stretcher, and he kept on saying, " I want slavery!" I told him that all men are created equal, and there should be no slaver y. Then he decided t o surrender. The war had stopped because he agr eed with me.

I t urned t he lever to 1985, and I crashed back on my castle. On my messy tabl~ I found many t hank you notes. One not e was on stone, and it was from H AROLD MowL. The people that I met t ha nked me for t he t hings I gave them, and some thanked me for the good advice I gave them. After the long trip, I slept in my comfortable bed.

The 1964- 1965 basketba ll tea m consisted of George Prentice, Dale F ord, T om Kuszaj, Fred Hicks, Harry Lewis, and Marty Major. There were four regular substit utes.

Before we left for the to urnament, we promised W. P. S. D. that we would bring t h e bacon home. This to urnament was one of the most exciting events we ever experienced. The firsL game we played was a close one, but we won, 51 - 48. We moved up to t he semi-finals against Mt. Airy of Philadelphia. W e beat them by only one p oint, 62 - 61. Then we entered the finals against Kendall of Washington, D. C., a nd Kendall was consider ed th e "darkh orse". The scor e seesawed a ll the way through t he game until it ended with t he score t ied, 59 up. After a n overtime quarter was played, Kendall won, 64 t o 63. W e nearly made our promise to br ing the bacon home, but our record of 11 wins and 12 losses was good enough.

We shall pass on this equation, "Physical condition + Desire + T eam L oyalty + Spirit = Victory" to next year's team. Good Luck!

As the 1964 soccer season started, the Lions gave the impression of being a strong team on offense as well as on defense. In t he first half of the season, top scorer s Dale Ford a nd Joe Michiline had a busy t ime. The Lions' defense was a lso good as Harry Lewis, Bob Cowan, W ilbur Lewis, and Harold Mowl did the heavy work to keep the ball away from our goal.

Goalies George Prentice and Harry Lewis each shared about half t he soccer season guarding the net. Forwards Rodney Danco, Mar ty Major, Gary Courie, and J ames Maher, along with halfbacks Fred Hicks, Wilbur Lewis, and Donnie Stoops, did fine work.

As we neared the secon d half of the season we lost our top scorer, Joe Michiline, and we began to have difficulty in winning the games. But Coaches Salem and J ones inspired our boys into a r oaring spir it, a n d we sh owed our opponents how to play r eal soccer. The Lions finally ended their season with 4 wins, 5 losses, a nd two ties.

The 1965 Track team was probably t he best team we have ever had. We won t he first track meet in our history, a nd eleven records were broken. Even though we ended our season with one w in and six losses, t he boys have shown a lot of improvement.

The records broken were : James Maher erased both of Harry Lewis' r ecords in hurdlings- 22.8 sec. for low hurdling a nd 18.6 sec. for high hurdling. Gary Courie ran the 440 in 56.1 sec, erasing Dale Ford's record of 58.2 sec. Gary also broke another r ecordhis own- he ran the 880 in 2:07.5 min. to er ase the old mark of 2.10 min. Rodney Danco pole vaulted 11 ft. to break Mearl Helsel's r ecord of 10ft. 6 in. Rodney also broad jumped 20ft. 6·~ in. to better his previous record of 18ft. 11 in. R odney also t ook h old of t he triple j ump record with a 37 ft. 3;} in. Tom Kuszaj put the shot at 39 ft. 9 in. to break Tom Inches' record of 38ft. 8 in. R icky Lewis erased Tom Inches' di scus r ecord of 107ft. 10 in. by setting the discus at 113 ft. 10 in. Walter Moor e set a school record of 12:13 min. as a two miler. The 880 and Mile relay records were also broken.

The 1965 track team hopes that t he future teams f ollow its habit of showing good school spirit and breaking records. Good Luck ! ! ! ! !
