Class Prophecy The year 1980 has rolled around and I am taking a cruise on the S. S. LAUREL. As I am enjoying an afternoon stroll about the ship, I see a crowd of people congregated in the dining salon. There is Susan Hood, the nationally known dress designer, with her sister-in-law Tudith Poling. Miss Poling is the private secretary of Richard D. Robinson. President of the National Basketball Association. The two men talking to Mr. Robinson are Woodrow Burkett and Kenneth Hepner. two of the incomparable players of the Boston Celtics Basketball Team. I notice two of the world's most famous scientists. Tames L. Miller and James Carmichael, discussing their latest project, the U. S. A. Sputnik Cruiser. Good luck, men! Talking over the stock market and recent business trends are two very prominent businessmen and their secretaries. They are Richard Crusan. owner of the Crusan Telephone Company, and his secretary lean Hollen; and Ralph Spory, owner of Spory Chain Stores located all over the world, and his secretary Peggy T. Hutchison. I see a group of men who look very familiar. Oh, yes, they are Paul Ludwig. Frank Peters. Robert Swatsworth, and Larry Beeler who are all big game hunters just returning from their latest safari to Africa. After meeting all these people I am exhausted. I am going to the lounge and rest awhile. Seated in the lounge is Roberta Dubics, founder of the great Women's International Basketball Team. With Miss Dubics is one of her best friends, Delores Hill. chief operator of the Bell Telephone Company. Lounging on the sun verandas are four of America's famous novelists — Tudith Sheehan. Lillian Piasente. Lueana Edwards. and Patricia Corvi — who have risen to great fame by writing books which sold over three million copies. I must go and continue my search for celebrities. I might as well stroll around the main deck. You can never tell whom you might see next. Just look who is standing at the rail and gazing at the lovely sea. It is Joseph Trusz. the chancellor of Seward University. Standing next to him are Walter Yeager, president of Amalgamated Chemicals Inc. , and David Muir, president of Muir's Typewriter Company. These two are very important men in this world. What's this? The ship is docking at Honolulu so Tacqueline Glessner. the very lovely movie actress, may come aboard. She has just completed her latest picture called The Sun Also Sets.

Class Prophecy This cruise is making me a little seasick. I think I’ll take Wanda Glacken's advice and go to the ship's hospital. Miss Glacken is the very reliable stewardess of the S. S. LAUREL. The medical officer is the famous Dr. Merlin Skavang and his very efficient nurse is Sandra Machak. After the excellent care I received, I feel somewhat better. I guess I'll go now to the upper promenade deck. Attracting admiring glances here are Donna Hewitt. Teannette Clark, and Priscilla Long — three of the world's wealthiest people. Also enjoying the cruise are Toy Ritenour. singer-comedienne; Wayne Baird, a television newscaster; and Shirley Munshower. hostess for the famous Brown Derby Restaurant. While talking to Robert Swank, I learned that he is the designer of Grand Hall. Tohn LaMantia. Mr. Swank says, is the best chef on board. I'll sample his famous ravioli and pizza at dinner. There's the columnist Margery Henderson gathering news about Sylvia Cummings. the world's sensational poetess. Also attracting my attention is Carol Cushman, an artist, who recently returned from London where she painted a portrait of Queen Elizabeth. I just heard there are two very good hair stylists on board. Their names are Lewis Boske and Joseph Callihan. I'll have to try their latest hair style. Walking towards the swimming pool is Thomas Rhoades. the owner of Rhoades Radio anu Television Manufacturing Co. , and his traveling companion Gerald Hall, president of Hall Construction Company. The beautiful music heard from the ballroom is being played by the famous Hollywood band led by Joseph Burkett, who has risen to great heights since his graduation from Laurel Valley Joint High School. On the dance floor I see the famous beautician Mary Kathryn Hedges. Her dancing partner is David Magnani, owner of the Magnani Limousine Corp. Also, the famous Olympic swimming champion Marlene Carol Fry is among the celebrities on board. Dancing with Miss Fry is one of America's greatest professional dancers, Wayne Glessner. As I leave the ballroom, whom should I see but Roger W. Garland, manager of the Harmony Band; Richard Caldwell, general director of the Jameson Corp.; Samuel Henderson, superintendent of the Truck Drivers League; and Edward Langham, business manager of Hesses Economy Stores. All four are doing very well. I was told we are approaching the harbor. I can hardly wait to know what will be in store for us when we reach shore. The customs officers who are coming aboard are Clifford Henderson and William Stutzman. On this wonderful cruise everyone was treated superbly well by the captain, Donald Marino, and his very efficient crew. 28
