Class Prophecy Here we are Preparing to make our way In a world of toil and struggle, That goes on from day to day. Here we are Just about the same, Except we've changed our fortunes, And we've changed our names. We have our lives before us, And in the future we will be Doctors, lawyers, merchants, As ruled by destiny. The time is June in 1954. We look around and see how many more. Some have brought their children to our class reunion and we are remem- bering faintly our class prophecy of 1939. Why remember, said Marge Wolters, how close our prophecy came to being correct. By the way, Marge brought her two children with her to the reunion. Yes, she married the young fellow whom she had been going steady with throughout her high school years. Kay Barnes, Lorraine Friedman, Shirley Raskey, Harriet Hill, Iris Brugman, Barbara Whalen, and Jane Wellman are all sitting in a corner bubbling over with news. They are discussing the problems of children. Of course, these girls are married and live in different cities. Lorraine lives in Chicago, and was a teacher in a well known speech school until she was married to a lawyer. Kay makes a grand little wife to her husband who owns a chain of newpapers. Barbara also lives in Manistee along with Marge. Barbara ma1'ried a young man who now owns a grocery store. Jane won a degree in arguing and has a grand position in a law firm. Gilman Gambs is a famous criminal lawyer. Norman Knudstrup, our former president, also took up law and now is in partnership with the Gambs-Knudstrup firm. Ray Johnson really stepped aside from his first job, which was a gigolo and walked into a high paid engineering project. Jack Turner is a millionaire and is now retired. He made a fortime in the munition business while the war was on. Yes, he married Shirley. Esther Adamski is a beauty operator in the city. Ruth Fenske has a, Gown shop. Marymae Davis, Dorothy Boulee, Ruth McNeil, Betty Scott. Lorraine Young, and Neva Rumbell are mannequins in the shop. Gerald Baker is the highest paid baseball player of the year.
