Class Prophecy On the evening of May 27, 1959 the ballroom of the Park View Hotel is the scene of a gala reunion of the former Class of '49, The members of the class are gathered there awaiting the arrival of their guest of honor. At last the moment arrives. A fanfare of trumpets is heard and through the door enters Mr. Dale T. Walker. As the spotlight follows him around he is greeted by former students. He is attracted to the center of the room by the famous gown de- signer, none other than Miss Irene Pfeiffer, better known to the fashion world as Renee. She is noted for her shockingly shocking creations. Beside her is that charming model, Miss Edna Schneider. Miss Schneider appears very ravishing in one of Renee's exclusive creations. The honored guest moves to another part of the room where he becomes involved in an argument concerning baseball with the two Herzog brothers and Edgar Wirth. They are each up-holding their respective teams. Relly is Boy Wonder of the Yankees . Herman is with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Bud is the 40-game winner of the Giants. Each is successful in his individual field. Next Mr. Walker is greeted by Miss Myrtle Wildy, famous history teacher at the University of lllinoisg Miss Lulu Glenn, successful English teacher at Vassarg and Miss Grace Wildy, a nurse who specializes in deli- cate brain surgery. Another member of the Class of '49, Donald Burton, attracts Mr. Walker's attention. Burton, head of the Curtis Magazine Sales Depart- ment, is trying to sell Ralph Bretsc-h, owner of the most elaborate casino east of the Mississippi, a subscription to the latest magazines on card tricks. Ray Hoffman, owner of the Skunk Foot Hunting Lodge in northern Minnesota, has also joined the group. There seems to be some commotion in another corner. Ardell Jack the Snipper Schoepp, the celebrated understudy of Harold Albers, is trying to give William Gorgeous Goggles ' Portman the latest style haircut. Portman, a well-known wrestler, seems to object and has Schoepp in a half-nelson. Mr. Walker now joins a group of dignitaries discussing present day problems of the nation. Included in the gathering are James Carter Schmulbach, a Wall Street bankerg Marilyn Stroh, lady Senator, and Dale Schneider, president of the Monsanto Chemical Co. About this time Miss Joyce Tresch, the local butcher, comes dashing across the floor. She had heard a comment that someone was shooting the bull and wanted to purchase it for her meat market.
