Class Prophecy The time is 1952. Miss Sheehan and Miss Shook have retired and are living in “Starkywick,” a small city in Nebraska. They chose Starkywick because there they could live among many of their students who graduated from Falls City High School in 1942. Since these two receive retired teachers pensions, they have had the leisure to write a review of the present positions of the members of the class which is to be published in the “Zagette Gazette,” edited by Bob Hicks. The article follows: The town of Starkywick was in a somewhat run down condition, but through the efforts of Richard Colglazier, mayor, Mildred Metz, his secretary, and Kenneth Wink-lear, F. B. I. Agent, the city has been much improved. “Ox” gained his experience in leadership as president of the class of ’42. Not to be forgotten are the two leading members of his council, Pauline Kentopp and Keith Henninger. Pauline has broken the tradition of “all men” councils. Keith is working to improve the lot of high school students, especially those under Janice Slagle and Lura Arnold, who are seeking revenge for the bard work at Falls City High School. The teachers constantly fear Duane Duey, President of the School Board. He employs all the newest methods, practical or impractical. Since we are speaking of governing bodies, the Congressman, Joe Norris in Washington, is working for higher coal rates and shorter hair cuts. Other outstanding personalities are Wilma Pollette, concert pianist, and Catherine Denison, who has just completed a history text book. Ernestine Frehse and Betty Meyers have influenced theater manager Kent Waller not to show any more murder mysteries because these movies frighten the girls. Besides, it was as a result of these pictures that Lowell Ankrom and Bud Reed launched on their wayward careers. However, the two young men are walking the straight and narrow now because of the efforts of Henry Horn, University Coach. Juliamae Duerfeldt, director of the Ladies Aid Society, has arranged for that great lecturer, Professor John Budeit, to speak to the girls on a most fascinating subject “The Evils of Slang.” Betty Mae Austin who runs the boarding house—“Mae’s Place”—employs Ardis Carr as blues singer and Lois Timothy as a dancer. Next door to “Mae’s Place” is a novel corporation, an old maid’s home, owned and operated by Miss Emma Baker. The “maidens” under her care keep the beauticians, Dorothy and Lucille Bossom, on their toes. Ernie Prosser and Darlene Fisher aren’t around town any more. Ernie is pitching for the New York Lankees and Darlene directs an orchestra deep in the heart of Texas. Henry Wulf, big butter and egg man of the West, employs blond Naomi Needham as his private secretary. She isn’t getting fickle, is she? That brawny dog catcher, Glendonald Runyan, finds victims for Lossie Bowers, the veterinarian. Since business has been rather slow, they can afford only one stenographer, Ruth Grush, and even she does well to keep away from the bread line. Joan Bohrer and Dorothy Lichty arebeing starred in the popular radio serial, “Farewell to Arms.” This program is sponsored by Ruth Johnson, who pickles “Bita-a-wee Pickles.” Annabel Cox, a graduate of Princeton, getting ideas from Ridera Stock -dale’s column, “The Latest Hints On Fashions,” designs the gowns worn by Joan and Dorothy. Because he won his last match, “the bomber,” Albert Gruber, is spending his time under the care of Dr. Sam Cowan, owner of the “Quick Relief Hospital.” The personnel includes Betty June Burton, laboratory technician (her appointment was purely co-incidental), and nurses, Marceille Mahoney and Donna Meinzer.
