7.4. 41- 4 I945 CLASS PROPHECY SCENE-On board the helio-copter taxi. TIME-1955 CHARACTERS-Don Fitzsimmons, Elaine Carlisle, and Grace Coppock. This trio is just returning from the country estate, Paradise Acres, owned by the Shallen- burg,s, the wife being better known as the former LaVerne Matthews, where they are talking over investing in an air freight line. They get a little off the subject and finally get around to wondering as to where their old classmates of '45 are and what they are doing. We listen in on them and we hear Grace saying- Does anyone know where Wilma Ziegler is, or what she is doing? Yes, said Don. She is the owner of these Ziegler Funeral Homes you see from Tacoma to Miami. I hear she is doing a stiff business, too. I guess she is married, but I don't know who to. By the way, said Elaine, what are you doing, Don? I thought you were going to be a doctor. Oh, I am, said Don, but I am also interested in getting this freight line started. I am sure glad to have you two old classmates for my business associates. Say, Elaine, what ever happened to your Four Morons Club members, Janet Chamberlin, May Price, and Pauline Martin? Oh, Janet finally brought home the bacon. She is Mrs. Wilbur Bacon now. They have three little porkers. May Price went to college for a long while, and is now trying to become Dean of Women at Kent, or Mrs. David Frantz. Pauline is waiting 'till next year, which is leap year, you know, and then she's going to pop the question to Evan Taylor. Let me see, now, said Grace, that leaves four more girls, doesn't it? Yes,', said Elaine, Margaret Burkey, Dottie Crook, Goldie Gaskill and Dorothy Mc- Laughlin. What are they doing? Peggy is, as you should have guessed, married to Harold Klepfer. You remember, he was a sailor when we were seniors, said Grace. Goldie, said Grace, was married to Lon McAllistor, but things didn't go well, so she married Al Gorchefff' Dorothy McLaughlin, said Don, is the owner of all the Isaly's stores in this country and Europe. You all remember Mr. Frank, well, he is the head of her advisory board. Dottie Crook is happily married to Jimmy Ruhl and they are living on a farm near Lisbon. I hear they have a new set of Ruhlsf' Now, for the men,', said Grace, ah, men. Oh, yes, said Don, Paul Hamilton is the world's authority on Deisel engines. He learned about them in the Marines. He doesn't do any work, but how the dough rolls in. I was down at his place last week. He is happily married. They live in a cute ten room bungalow with 80 acres of lawn landing field. They have two planes. They are teaching their two children, George and Gracie to fly. Their planes aren't very modern. They have a B-29 for the family and a P-38 for errands and the like. Well, said Don, Nick owns all the big night clubs coast to coast. He makes S100,000,- 000 per year. His wife is Joan Leslie. He has the voice under contract. Oh, I forgotg maybe you don't know the voice. It isn,t Frank Sinatra any more. He went out with the automobile. The new voice is John Thomas. He lays them in the aisle so quickly that they have 200 ambulances to carry the swooners away from Nick's Macombof' Curtis married Mary Hoover and they have two little sweepers. He owns the Cope Products Co. He ran DuPont out of business. His factories produce everything from pin heads to 1000 foot motor launches. Harold Detwiler owns the Detwiler Packing Companies. They pack meat and vegetables. His companies were responsible for two-thirds of the food fed to Europe after the war. Say, said Grace, what ever happened to John Grim? C r::Oh, said Elaine, he is head dean at Youngstown College. Oh, say,,' said Elaine, where's ar . ' He, said Don, went to college for four years at the expense of the government, as all service men got free college educations upon request. He married Alice Mayer and is head coach at Southern California. I.,et's see, said Grace, we've told about all but-let me think, oh, yes, Ralph and Andy. Well, Andy owns all the gas stations all over this country. He sure has the gas. He handles 100 octane only for airplanes. Ralph is the western hemisphere's authority on farming. He knows all about it when it comes to crops and cows. He has developed a new machine that has revolutionized industry. It has one horn and gives milk. It is just a plain milk truck. Well, here is our stop. It sure was grand to talk over old times, We hear a chorus of good-byes as each departs on his own way. Paul Hamilton Page 18
