SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Diary of 1949.................kept by a graduate of “39” Well, well, it’s a small world isn’t it? I ran into Carl Berg today, the boy that put the corn in the cornet. He is conducting an all girl orchestra and features—Pauline Catron as his song bird. Joyce Neely is doing dance numbers with his orchestra. Saw “Boake” Bradford, today too—of course I read his columns every day in the “New York Gazette’' but I didn’t know that he published four volumes of poems—he is a bachelor and is still a “woman hater.” Received the Meadow Grove News and read that Verona Duhachek, principal of schools, and Donald C. Munger, superintendent, were married last week—congratulations. Lena Inness is teaching there too—I hear she is going to marry Quintin Osborn who took over “Red's” job as janitor. The unexpected happened however when I met Claire Dye on the street—he is just back from Alaska where he is a trapper,—Phyllis Yenter, his adoring wife was wearing a chic skunk coat;—she says she drives his dog team for him! Norman Krupicka was in Police court for disturbing the peace. I always knew his “soap box” speaking would get him in bad. P. S. i bailed him out! Odena Lewis and Dean Schleuter are happy parents of triplets. Dean is still milking those cows. Duane Stuart, the scientist of the class, has invented a new serum to prevent “housemaid’s knee-’—gad, he’ll be rich in no time! Dick Reeves and Arthur Suckstorf are partners in the grocery business—Dick’s only complaint is that Arthur’s great love for victuals tends to munch up the profits! Jennie Dearmin is a stenographer in the “Cruncho Nut Works. Merle Horrocks is an executive in the firm. P. S. He still goes with Jean Daniel. Max Horrocks is piling up the green backs in the circus. He charges to see his freak mustache, which is so long he could rope a Durham bull with it clear back home in his Dad’s south eighty. Hundreds pay to see him—thousands demand their money back! Hatty Ann Kahler is now famous on the radio—she’s an old maid you know and takes the place of “Ma Perkins. She dropped her heart in “39.” I’m going to a basketball game to-nite—two of mv old friends, Phil Grant and Bob Collins, are playing on the All American—Bob also is a hunter and Phil is the strong man in Max Horrocks’ “freak circus. Della Kilmer and Dorothy Blair are running a girl’s school. Reed Switzer is engaged to Della and Dorothy is going steady with Raymond Larson who is a plow jockey on his dad’s farm—he's made a fortune selling snipes and squabs. Well, dear diary it’s time to close—I’ll save other news for another page. It’s gratifying to see my old classmates prosper—may they succeed one and all and emerge victors in the battle of life.
