CLASS PROPHECY 'ATickets, tickets, get your tickets here. That voice sounds familiar. The face is familiar: why it's BOB RCLYIN, selling tickets. The scene is the Mid-XYestern Prep School Football Championship game of 1950 at Soldier's Field. Hirsch is play- ing Podunk for the Championship, and so. many of the alumni of the June, 1940 class should be in the crowd. Let's look around and see who's here. Caught in the mass surging to the ticket window, are MARY BARNES, BOB HULL, left guard of the St. Louis Cardinals, PEARL DANIEL- SON, XYARREN TENGBLAD, and the MAHER twins, BOB and ED, who are now renowned pilots. Hardly visible in the mad mob is STERLING JACKSON, sports commentator. XYe crush on in through the entrance and see TOM FITZPATRICK and JACK FABER, chief ushers, with a crowd of Andy Frain's ushers consisting of ED NILSC JN. LLOYD FONS.lJUN B CRNS. JOE GRECO AND MIKE FABING who are directing the excited Hirsch fans to their seats. Popcorn, popcorn, rings out the voice of JACKLKTPATER, vending his luscious ware to all. XYe cali him over and greet him with a friendly slap on the back. He tells us that he just saw H AZEL ERICK- SON, BARBARA DE GRAXY. and DOROTHY M L'RTHA,all stenographers, come in Gate 15. NYhile we idly munch our popcorn, we glance over to the Press Box and see LE ROY BIERINGER, sports editor, and BETTY HAYES, his assistant. In the box reserved for the radio announcers, we see CLARENCE CHRISTENSON and TED SMITH, all ready to describe the game over the air. Down on the held, ready to act as head linesman is XYAR- REN HEIDLIES, coach of athletics at Northwestern Cniversity. The game starts. Soon Hirsch scores a touchdown, and JANE JEROME leads the high school cheer leaders in a rousing sky-rocket. The touchdown brings such violence from the sports crazy fans behind us, that they smash our new Stetson. Wfhirling around, we see that Captain TOM O'DONNELL of the F.B.1. and Motorcycle Police Captain PAUL SCHXYENEDNER, are the enthusiastic spectators. During the half. we wander over to the hot dog stand and see CHUCK RYER and BOB SILVEY behind the counter giving the usual eye to models HELEN DUBACH, JAYNE DELANEY, and EVELYN KONCHAR. QQ offs IQ def QQ is Q do QQ 3555 QQ do QQ ot? Q? is as as as ee Qt? 5555 QE? as 29? se 9323 its QQ ot? Qi as tum Grouped near the drinking fountain are JERRY BRAYEMAN, artist, BOB BING. insurance salesman, RAYMOND CONKLING, mechanic. and ROBERT SXYOGER, football coach at Smith High school, all talking about the good old days. when they didn't have to worry about gas bills and Junior's new suit. Back in our seats again, we see that LOXYELL ROBERTS, shoe salesmen, has taken his old place with the cheer leaders. Probably when Lowell wrenches his back, he will find Dr. JACK LANDES' liniinent a handy thing to have around. The game proceeds with even more ex- citement than in the first quarters. The crowd goes wild, when in the last minute of play. Hirsch wins by a score of 13 to ll. RALPH ANDERSON, life guard. JAMES KOIILER. mechanic, JOE DONAHCE, salesman. and HAROLD McCOY, truck driver, are down on the lield, joyously tearing down the goal posts. Down in the locker room, we find JOHN BUYLE and XYARREN FINR. both engineers, and XYILLIAM HARR, farmer, congratulating the team on their grand victory. The team, by the way, is using LE ROY l.L l'Z'S soap. XYe know you've heard his slogan, Soap by Lutz, for better sudZ. XYell. we must leave now and hurry down to the Stevens Ilotel, where the June, 1940 class is having a dinner dance reunion after the game. XYe hop into a taxi driven by DON IVE.-XRE. and speed on our way. XYe pass one of those old red street cars. and mockingly wave at EDXYARD FILES, conductor, and EM- MET McBRlllE. motorman, who clangg back a greeting on his bell. XYe pull up to the curb, and DELBERT CREMENS, doorman, opens our door. NYe pass through the Michigan Avenue entrance of the Stevens and walk into a spacious lounge. XYe glance around quickly, seeing many faces, which are strange, yet familiar. Over in the corner. midst a group of girls, sits a woman who especially takes our attention. VVe ap- proach her. Are you LORRAINE RICKETTS, the one who writes the news- paper column ? we ask. XYhy yes, she replies cordially, do join us. 1sn't this idea of a reunion of our class after the game a wonderful scheme? So much has happened in these ten years since we graduated. I just can't wait to see everyone. MOLLIE B O S S E N, MARJORY FERGUSON. BETTE ANDERSON, LORRAINE KOHLER, RUTH LETCHER, ANN
