Robert was very surprised to learn famous 'Hot Rod Harry,' was none other had nsouped up' his old 1941 Chevrolet and made millions on the speedways. Robert learned that Magda Osterhuber went on to college after graduating, where whe again graduated with high honors in art. She was a big success while teaching in high school and seemed to enjoy it very much. Since Victor was working at DeKalb, he heard all the gossip and could keep track of all his friends. Why just the other day he had learned that Norma Koontz was working side by side He had been promoted Carrier of the whole from Victor that the than Bud Walker. He with her husband in Japan.

Prophecy It was the year 1979, and hundreds of people were seated around the tables in the large auditorium. The banquet, that quiet spring even1ng,was being held1J1honoroI'Robert Georges, who, after many long years of toll, had invented the Super Duper De Luxe Can Opener. Robert had gotten the idea for this can opener when hewas employed at Pr1tchett's Hardware Store, inthe early part ofhis youth. He worked and worked and final- ly perfected the now famous can opener. Robert was pleased to see a few of his former classmates among the many people. It was the first time he had seen them since their graduation in 1952, when they had separated and each had gone his own way. After the dinner, Robert went over to see his old buddy, Eddie Meister. Eddie told him that soon after graduation he joined the navy and saw the world. He, of course, had had a girl in every port but finally married the girl of his heart and settled down in Illiopolis, where he took up the job of remaking old Model T cars. Robert also learned from Eddie some of the Illlopolis news. He said that Betty Munson, since she had been such a good chemistry student in high school,had stayed on at I.H.S. as Mr. Shouse's assistant. Betty loves her job but she still can't stand the odor of Hydrogen Sulfide, otherwise known as rotten egg gas. Eddie then showed Robert some newspaper clippings that he had been saving. Eddie explained that Leuberta Tuoker's name had appeared in the paper many tlmesand each time it had been twins. The last clipping announced her fourth pair. In the article Robert read that she believed in the old saying UCheaper By the Dozen.n Another clipping announced the opening of a new restau- rant. Eddie explained that Leiman Jackson had sold his old tavern to Joannelmckrone. She had converted it into an ultra modern restaurant, and was now doing a booming business. Jo Anne was well known for miles around as the 'Hamburger Queen of the Middle west.U As Robert handed the clipping back to Eddie, he noticed a man walking toward him with a camera. The photographer was none other than Kenneth Gordy. Kenny explained that he had taken over the Hubbard Studio and that he had come to take a picture of the UCan Opener K1ng.' As Robert questioned him further, he found that Kenneth had expanded his business and now had studios all over the United States. After Robert'seyes had become adjusted from the glare of the flash bulbs he spotted another former classmate. With a broad smile, he crossed the room to Join Joan Chwierut. He learned that Joan was well known about the United States for her latest book,'How to Take Shorthand C300 words per minute! and Like It.n The book was only oneof'hergreatest accomplish- ments,for she also had started and is now managing a business college in the West. Joan told Robert about her dear friend, Rosella Ervin. It seems that Roselle studied many long, hard, years on her voice. She was doing fairly well professionally when along came her present husband--her voice was forgotten. However, she began to use her wind in a more useful way. She and her husband took up glass blowing and were presently employed at the Atomic Energy Plant in Tennessee. Joan also told Robert that the former Dorothy Pagel and Lois Bottrell, were both married soon after graduation, and now lived side by side in Illiopolis. Nothing had changed in their friendship--except the conversation. Ithad changed from clothes and boys, to housework and babies.
