Class Prophecy i It was none other than Eugene Dintelmann, an outstanding farmer living near New Athens. Butch was merely bragging about the new breed of cattle he developed. The spotlight now focuses on Miss Darlene Mueller who has one of the success stories of the nation. She has worked her way from tele- phone operator to President of the Bell Telephone Co. Chatting with her are Miss Alice Wilkerson and Miss Maxine Politsch. Alice is one of the outstanding beauty operators in St. Louis and is known for her Enticing Curl hair-do. Maxine is now the proprietress of the Rusty Muleslipper Restaurant which is competing with Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe. In another part of the ballroom booms the voice of James Womack, owner of the largest Jersey Farm in the state of Illinois. He is conversing with Dr. Ralph Ziegler, veterinarian. Dr. Z. is noted for his plastic surgery success the lifted the face of Elsie the Borden Cowl. One of the highlights of the evening is a scorching torch song by Miss Fern Lehr, accompanied by Miss Betty Ivory-Tickler Schaller at the piano. They are currently appearing with a well-known orchestra at the Park View Ballroom. The spotlight now shines on Captain Harold Heinecke of the United States Navy. He recently became the toast of the nation for the valiant sea rescue of Cleo the Goldfish. Joining the conservation is Mr. Marvin Huth, now President of Huth's Transcontinental Truckline which has put New Athens on the map. Most railroads have been put out of business because Huth carries the freight. Mr. Walker now greets Miss Violet Schopfer and Miss Janice Wig- gand. Miss Schopfer is the private secretary of Dr. Gallup who keeps her constantly on the run. Janice is at the Indiana Girls College where she is basketball coach of the Hoosier Hot Shots . The busiest celebrity of the group is Miss Viola Schneider, foreign news correspondent, who flew from Moscow especially to attend the re- union. She is constantly taking notes on the gala affair for her Woman About 30 column now appearing in the world's leading weekly, the Journal-Press. At the stroke of midnight the group gathered around Mr. Walker, the Albert Einstein of 1959, to present him with a gift. It is a solid gold slide rule with inlaid rubies. According to Mr. Robert Waeltz, pre- sident of the Caterpillar Corporation, who makes the presentation, this rule has attained an accuracy of 102 per cent. When the gathering finally concludes, it is decided to hold another reunion in ten years. The group vanishes into the night, each person seeking the fate or fame which the future holds.
