Looking back at photos like these, it's hard to imagine any of us spent much time at Father Ryan thinking about what we would be when we grew up to be men.
But I know we all did. After all the Beach Boys made a hit record about it:
"When I Grow Up To Be A Man"
The second part of our Prophecy of the FRHS Senior Class of 1969 is not nearly as profound as some of the words of that Beach Boy song from the 1960s.
Some of it seems a little obscure, even a bit mean 40 years later. But hey, we were still kids. Also keep in mind, as in Part I of the Prophecy, it helps to remember who was dating who, etc.
And so, here it is: Part II of Prophecy of the FRHS Senior Class of 1969. Depending on how you want to look it, I guess we either scooped John Lennon by a few years,or we owe him a very belated apology, since the name of this prophecy segement is IMAGINE:

I am afraid to ask this question. Did we produce a "Last Will & Testament?" I don't have a copy. If anyone does, bring it to the party at the Wilsons. It ought to be good for a few laughs...especially after a few beers.
