CLASS PROPHECY - 1963 As I walked into the Greater Pittsburg Airport, I was greeted by a brunette whom I thought was familiar. I learned this travel consultant and receptionist was my old classmate, Cheryl Plog. In no time she had me seated on a plane headed for San Francisco and the beginning of a trip around the world. I noticed a group of people gathering outside the plane and found later that the object of their attention was Gary Carlson who had just returned from the first successful flight to Pluto. Peto told me the inhabitants looked like a strangely familiar dog. I parted with him at the airport and took a cab to downtown Frisco. On the way I noticed a sign advertising one of the many Mona Lisa Hotels’' owned by Gaylene Peterson, better known to me as Lefty. I decided to stay there for the night. When I arrived, Carol Bengston, the manager of the U.S. chain of Mona Lisas, and I talked of all the fun times we had had together in Wausa High. The next morning I boarded the ocean liner, The 63. I was just getting settled in my stateroom when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and found Karen Swanson standing there in a swim suit. She was the social director on the ocean liner. In Hawaii, Karen and I were greeted by flower leis and music. We decided to go shopping dur- ing our few hours on the island. While walking down the street, we met none other than Diane Lindquist. She told us she was employed as a fashion designer at one of the leading shops on the island. The following day Karen and I parted in Japan and I decided to do some sightseeing, so I went to the Imperial Palace. There I accidentally entered a private room and among several people I recognized Mary Ann Smith, now the U.S. ambassador to Japan. Time was speeding by and I had to move on to Australia. Riding along the countryside I noticed a sign which read Experimental Government Farm. I entered the main of- fice and saw Terry Beaudette seated at the desk. He and I enjoyed a nice talk and he confided to me that his biggest problem was rabbits. The dawn of a new day found me in the market place of Ceylon. Someone with a large bundle of material bumped into me. I whirled around and discovered Corlynn Nyman, who was in Ceylon buying materials for the famous fashion houses of the world, sprawled on the ground. She told me she had met Margaret Peters in the U.S. Embassy in India where she was serving as an interpreter. I met Eugene Langemeier in the Union of South Africa. He was a gem connoisseur and showed me around his dia- mond mines and told me Tom Ekdahl was a great white hunter in Ethiopia, making a big profit selling furs. Next I flew to Rome where the Olympics were being TOWN COUNTRY CONSTRUCTION J. Arnold Anderson Wausa, Nebraska TED’S RADIO AND TELEVISION Wausa, Nebraska held. Jim Halleen was participating in them. I was happy to see Jim win and that night we celebrated by going to a night club. As we entered, we were greeted by gales of laughter. It was no wonder because there on the stage was Stanley Jensen. He joined us and told us that Dale Jacob was also somewhere in Rome and was an economist con- nected with the Common Market. After touring Italy I journeyed to Greece. There I found Karen Anderson as leading home economist. On the Acropo- lis I saw a distinguished man walking about the ruins. After closer examination I found him to be Richard Carlson, the famous architect. He confided to me he was secretly plan- ning to clean up the shambles. I decided to do some skiing in Switzerland, but broke my leg tailing off the ski lift, so was taken to the hospital where, I found, Glenda Erickson was head nurse. While talking about old times, she told me Dale Olson was a mathematician designing cars in Germany. Anxious to return to life, I flew to Paris where I discov- ered a luxurious beauty salon owned by Judy Bargstadt and LaVonne Hansen. They were running a prosperous business styling the hair of some of the top heads of Europe. My next stop was London. While I was there I was de- termined to see the Queen. I stood among the other tourists trying to get a glimpse of her, when there in the crowd I saw Sheryl Shalander. I made my way over to her and was delighted to learn that she was now special advisor to the Prime Minister. She told me Kathy Gillilan was Superin- tendent of a girls’ private school in England and Lois Fuel- berth was the Principal and head teacher of the same school. Flying over Ireland I remembered Sheryl had also told me Jean Bryant was the manager of an historical museum in the land of the green. I arrived in Sweden and was unexpectedly greeted by Larry Carlson. As we toured Stockholm together, he told me that he was now a mechanical engineer, employed by the Swedish government. We were busy talking when we bumped into Karolyn Bartlett, who was the famous author of BETTER BUSINESS. I flew to Bolivia where Larry Wilbeck was the newly elected President. I spent a few days touring the beautiful country, then flew to Nassau and the Hidden Paradise Re- sort which Connie Olson owned. As Connie and I lay on the beach, she and I realized that I had seen or heard of every one of our classmates except one. Realizing this, I couldn't finish my trip without seeing her. The next day I was in Greenwich Village looking over Shirley Claussen's shoulder admiring her world famous art- work. While having lunch, she and I agreed that the Wausa High Class of '63 was one to be truly proud of.
