ence of the vast knowledge he acquired at Falls City High School. Ronnie Harris is teaching chemistry in Alaska to the Eskimos. Finally, I arrived at my old Home Town. It was really wonderful to be back, but there had been some changes since I had lived here. John Boswell, Dale Chesnut, and Wayne Martin are operating a cheap transport service between Falls City and California for those students who are looking for a brighter future in the sunny west. Bob Brown is still trying to explain the fourth dimension to Coach Peterson. Elmer Butler, a motorcycle cop, is busily arresting speed-happy teenagers in the high school parking lot. Martha “Cookie” Cain has become the sexiest weather girl KTNC ever had. Mary Ellen Gaither and Karen Yohe have formed the “Happy Hour” knitting club for those lonely Monday nights when their hubbies are at Guards. Willie Craig and Charles Stevens say that farming makes them dizzy. They get all tangled up in the rotation of crops. Dennis Crofford continues to spend his time at the poolhall as manager. Karen Gerlt is driving the Stella school bus. Ronnie Gilkerson, who has his own beauty shop, is specializing in those little curls for “Little Women.” Ronnie Gibson is still selling lots to those in need of them. Judie Majerus is now a happy wife and mother who has found her greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations—the maker and keeper of the home. Thelma Merz is helping her dad sell tractors and combines in a leopard bikini bathing suit. I hear they’re selling like hot cakes. Betty Vogele is still here in town working on a new formula to restore older ladies’ white hair to its natural color. Donald Wenz has set up a bait shop at Rulo and is digging worms for the fishermen. As I walked into a drug store I saw a Falls City Journal on the counter. The first article I read was one written by the president of Geneva Girls’ School. Miss Linda Apel still insists that there is really no bad girl. Dorothy Goltz and Alice Winsor did their famous Pow Wow Dance at the Sidney Rodeo last night. Judi Heineman is somewhere in Africa selling ice-cream cones to the natives for immense sums of money. Nancy Kelly is in Florida designing men’s Bermuda shorts. Harold Lewis is now a cowboy in the wilds of the wooly west. He has shown wonderful bravery and endurance in his job. Douglas Ludwig, a man of iron endurance, is now a sergeant in the army and is quite capable of handling his job. Tom McGuire is in the State Psychological Department still advocating Freudian principles, although he is not a staff member. The big question in Hollywood today is whether Dick Monroe will receive the role of Tarzan at MGM. Eileen and Elaine Niedfeldt are renting a magnificent apartment in a large foreign city. Virgil Scheitel, a respectable Falls City father, is running for city council so he can have the curfew changed from 11 o’clock to 9 o’clock. An article that really amused me was that Peggy Pickard, head spy of Scotland Yard, had been called to Falls City High School to trace fingerprints on shorthand notes found by Mr. Coba in his government class. Then I saw a most handsome picture of Delmar Rieschick. Delmar, according to some of the leading men’s magazines, is the Most Eligible Bachelor of 1990. Charles Marteny is now teaching English at Harvard; we always knew Mrs. Hoffman would finally get it through to him. Judie Wehrman is employed at the world’s largest zoo and is painlessly extracting walrus teeth by hypnosis. Carol West is “house mother” for the boys’ dorm at St. Benedict’s. Charlotte Robinson has just given birth to her twelfth child. The more Bachmans the merrier. Down at the bottom of the page I found this unusual advertisement: If you have soft, tired, irritated, perspiring, chafed, and tender feet, we recommend the best-selling cure-all, Dr. John Otto’s Foot Powder. Finally before folding the paper I noticed on the society page that Shirley Cunningham recently threw a party in Virginia, bigger and better than ever before. Shirley is known as the southern dainty lady of society, envied and flattered by all, the queen of every gathering, and the bell of every ball. Well, my little trip was very interesting, but I hurried to catch the train back to Omaha so I could fly home to Florida where I was a marriage counselor. Just then I heard a loud noise, and as I turned around I saw some of my friends stopping to pick me up. Why I wasn’t in a strange world after all; I had just prophesied the lives of my classmates.
