Class Prophecy It is the year 1955 and the little city of Manistee from whence a class of seniors went out into the world fifteen years ago to seek their fortunes, is playing host to these now experienced men and women. It is the occasion of a big celebration, for the once practically unknown Manistee National Forest Festival is now indeed a national event. Peo- ple from all over the United States attend it. Among the many celebrities attending it are, to our great surprise, some of our former classmates. We are attracted by a large crowd to a grandstand where the guest speaker of the occasion is being introduced by Eugene Batzer, prominent business man. I now take great pleasure in introducing to you Mr. Roger Campbell, famous criminal lawyer from Chicago, he says. Before us we see our former senior class president. He is asking that all persons from out of town who graduated in the class of 1940 to please register at the Home Comers booth. We are very happy to hear this for it will give us an oppor- to check up on our class prophecy and see how close it came to being true. As we make our our way down the street toward the Home Comers booth, we are handed a program for the festival. As we stop a minute to look at it we see that Eleanor James, who is now married, is the chairman of the committee for the Indian Day which is to be the main event of the celebration. Working with her on the committee are: Jim Larsen, Allen Peek, Audrey Lundstrom, Helen Walle, Louis Thomas, Donald Paprocki, and Daniel Smith. They are all married and settled down. Glancing further down on the program we see that Marion Sell, who is now a famous singer on the New York stage will be home to give a concert with the accompaniment of Henry Nelson's popular orchestra. In Henry's orchestra are: Phyllis Rykala, Ruth Tangerstrom, Marjorie Newman, Mary Granger, Claude Simons, Bob Johnson, Marilyn Sweetnam, Edna Lundbom, Marge Belknap, and Merle Erickson. VVe look up for a minute and are handed a special festival edition of the Manistee News Advocate by a small boy. He is a cute little fellow and we are informed by him that he is Windy Witkowski Jr. So June Norton and Windy did get married. Glancing at the front page of the paper we notice an announcement by Bob Peterson, now manager of the Vogue theatre. A nationally famous troupe has been secured to participate in the festival. The troupe consists of: Betty Wojciechowski, Vivien Tossey, Jean Anderson, Pat Shaw, Sarah Rogers, Audrey Engstrom, Evelyn Albright, Phyllis Thode, Dorothy Peter- son, Geraldine Schuelke, and Audrey Owens. Phyllis Krus and Virginia Racine are soloists. Looking back at the program we see that Lee MacIntosh, who is now in business for himself, has charge of the advertising. Wayne Saari, who is a Z6
