Senior Class Prophecy October 22, 1965 Dear Jim, Well, the class of '5l had a bang up time at our class reunion last week. lt was real nice of Tom to ask us to Washington this year, but we certainly missed you and your good humor. I thought l would drop you this letter and try to give you an idea of what all of our former classmates are now doing. As you know, Tom Nelsen asked us to Washington, D. C. for our class reunion. He had rooms for all of us at the White House. It seems only yester- day that we were teasing Tom about being our future president. Of course, he is making a success of it as we thought he would. Lola is a very charming hostess and first lady. . I was the first one there, since my band, Bob Miller and his Bob Cats, was engaged in New York the week before. I just flew down to Washington and sent the band on to Chicago where we have a recording date this week. I am really having a time. A bachelor's life certainly agrees with me. About an hour after I came, Bill Griffin flew in. You know, 'he is now a cheese salesman from a big Madison, Wisconsin factory. Usually, he sells in and around Madison, since he wants to be near his family. Bill hasn't changed a bit since the old days, still kept us laughing all the time. Richard Madsen was on his way to New York to board the Queen Elizabeth to sail for England and was there only for a couple of days. As you know, Richard went to college after his hitch with the Army and became, as I hear, a very famous man in his field of Engineering. Right now his latest project is to supervise the building of a bridge across the English Channel. Richard says he is tired of hearing all about everyone trying to swim it and just wants to make things easier for everyone. As you know, Donna Schuetts' play on Broadway just closed after a two- year run, so she was able to be with us the whole week. She starts rehearsing next month for her newest play, for which she promises us all tickets if it goes over. Laurel Griffin, formerly Keelen, drove here from Sheffield. Noel is on leave for a couple of months, so they used this reunion as kind of a vacation. Of course, they brought all of the kids with them, and the White House was livened with all of them sliding down the banisters all day long. Carrie Ellen Hasbrook was there and told us she was now happily married with six children. I forgot her husband's name. Dorothy Bill, who has been in the field of studying human behavior, is now working on a new theory for high school students-- How To Learn Without Study ing. lt will be in book form and all of us will be the first to get copies.
