Prophecy 4527 Broadway Blvd. Tokio, Ohio January 10, 1960 Dear Betty, After spending a formal evening at Coney Island, Tokio's leading restaurant, we went to the Star Theater. You probably don't remember much about it, but they have built an addition to it and it will now hold five thousand. The movie was entitled The Successful 45's. There was a great crowd. People from miles around came to see the great picture. Since you are an expert beautician in New York and never hear from any of your old schoolmates, I will try to tell you their whereabouts. According to the movie :- Martha Burnet has achieved fame from her acting. She is the lead- ing lady in practically every picture made and Paul Thomas plays opposite her. Besides acting Paul takes care of a couple thousand leghorns. I suppose you have heard that Donald Crone is the Republican can- didate for president of the United States. I imagine he will get it because of his great interest in political affairs and because of his great experience at being class president. Remember the romance of Betty Lauck and Lewis Linton? Well. Betty, she is now head nurse at Mercy Hospital right here in Tokio and also wife of the head surgeon, but still cuts and patches. See her if you need medical advice. Dick Gamble is now coach at York. His team has won every game they have played. Next week his team plays in the state tournament. They are bound to win with his coaching and the influence of the three little red- headed cheerleaders. As for Bertha Evans, she is a regular model. She specializes in bath- ing suits. Did she ever make Esther Williams feel cheap? Eddie Amerman is one of radio's best paid advertisers. Johnny on the Phillip Morris program retired and they could think of no one better than he. Maxine Wallick is now Mrs. Amerman and furnishes the musical entertainment for his program. After many strenuous exercises and screen tests, Joy Lininger is now a second Deanna Durbin. Do you suppose she still likes candy bars? Remember the romance of Betty Lauck and Lewis Linton? Well, I am sending you a clipping from the Tokio Blade of the recent announce- ment of their engagement. My stars! And Betty always said she was going to be an old maid. Lewie owns the Linton Dairy Farm near Tokio and Betty already has promised to go in partnership with him. To my amazement and yours too, I am sure, Paul Ries has added a few inches in height and is playing the part of Junior in plays. Along with plays, he is Donald Crone's right-hand man in campaigning for presi- dent. Turned out to be quite some man, eh? Last but not least, our old pal, Doris, is the kindergarten teacher at York. Remember how she always had a way with the children? There are fivedhundred children under her supervision and she still remains an old mai . c As for myself, I am manager of the Equity Store on Tokio's own public square. I think all of our classmates have been very successful, don't you? Hoping to hear from you soon, Your old schoolmate, JANICE DAVIES. 20
