CLASS PROPHECY Dear Joy: I have a few minutes before my rocket lands, so I thought I would write a few words. I was happy to hear that you are now a kindergarten teacher. I know that was your ambition when we were working on the 1960 annual together at Wilmot. This morning I took a cab from my office to the rocketport. Guess who was driving it, none other than Dave Van Every! When I arrived at the rocketport I went to the in- formation desk to see if my rocket. would be leaving on schedule. Sandy Redman, the information clerk, told me it would be leaving in a few minutes from Gate 13. As I was getting on the rocket, the ste- wardess, Miss Larson, introduced me to the pilot, Mike McLay, and co-pilot, Jerry Kerkman. When I got settled on the rocket, I was surprised to find myself sitting next to Marilyn Bucci, who was on her way back to school and her husband, Jerry, in Cali- fornia. Upon looking around us we saw many of our former classmates among the passengers. In the back of the rocket we spied Andy Kisner and Dick Kunz. Mari- lyn told me that Andy is a famous wrestler on the West Coast and Dick is his manager. Marilyn asked me if I had heard from Carol Ann lately and I told her I hadn't. She then told me that Carol Ann was still having trouble deciding which boy she liked better. Doug Braund was also on the rocket. He was flying out to the moon for a vacation. He is the manager for Barbara Caddock and her all-girl band, the Cadets, who just finished a long engagement in a Broad- way play. The play was under the direc- tion of Frank Hegner. Glenn Kerkman is flying to Mars, where the Ringling Brothers' Circus is now ap- pearing. He is the only midget lion-tamer in the world. Doris Johnston - O'Hara, that is, is on this flight with her husband. He is a millionaire and owns a plantation in Mississippi. He is going to the moon on business. Lynn Pacey came up just a little while ago to talk to me. She is a nurse in the Waves, She just came back from a trip home. Lynn told me that quite a few of our classmates stayed right in Wisconsin. She said that Joy Rosentreter has got her college degree and is now devoting all her time to redecorating her home. She is making use of the skills she acquired in Home Economics class. Lorelei Doud, Judy Cates, and Donna Roessler have all gotten married and have children of their own, in fact Judy has twins! Bill Van Patten owns his own garage in Silver Lake and Joe Dalton is the head me- chanic. Joe doesn't have to worry about nouns and pronouns anymore, just nuts and bolts. Dorothy Broniecki found she liked it so much in Wisconsin that she opened a re- sort at Twin Lakes. Betty Rasch, Made- leine Rygielski and Sue Wirth are wai- tresses there. Carla Dankert is the only lady engineer working on the construction of the Fox River Power Plant. Bob Greskoviak now owns the biggest restaurant in this area, and Bev is content just to be Mrs. Greskoviak. Frank Jacobs is a professor at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Right now he and Ken Olson are doing research at the top of Mt. Everest. Sue Bartels is teaching Algebra at Wil- mot High School. Bud Meehan, Jim Schlitz and Ronnie Wayne are still flitting from honey to honey trying to make up their minds. Jim Ratchek plays football with the Green Bay Packers. Donna Sarbacker owns her own beauty shop and Kathy Anderlick is a hair stylist there. Jeanette Michaelis is a private secretary Page 97

to Frank Platts, who has followed in his father's footsteps and is now a leading in- surance salesman. Carole Prange and Marlene Swoboda are in charge of a Pep Club organized to back the Milwaukee Braves. We talked for a few more minutes then Lynn went back to her seat. I decided to look at the paper for awhile. There was an article on the front page about John Scalzo. He is a famous law- yer in New York. He just finished a case in which Leo Laskey was the judge. There was an article about Paul Dicklin and his trip to the meeting of the United Planets, where he represented the earth. When I got to the Women's Page I no- ticed that one of the models pictured there was Barb Sutcliffe. Joann Graham now writes a column about fashions. I glanced over the book section and I noticed that Tom Dicklin had a book on the best-seller list. It was entitled, The Life of a Bachel- or. H In the entertainment section there was an article about Louise Griebel, who was Miss Earth of 1965. She is now appearing in a leading Hollywood movie. On the last page was a review of the stock market. It said that the stock in the Lovely and Larson Yo-yo Company, own- ed by Harry Lovely and Jesse Larson has gone up 25 points. The rocket is going to land in about 20 minutes, so I guess I'd better close. Before I do though, I want to thank you for the letter you wrote me. I was glad to hear some of the news from back home. I was surprised to hear that Judy and Norm Ro- bers are living next to Bev Byers. So Allan Zerfas has finally taken over Richter's and specializes in Zerfas' Zuper Zervicef' Emil Mravec owns the biggest all-electric farm in the United States. He teaches Ag- riculture at Wilmot in his spare time, be- cause with all this new equipment, he has plenty of spare time. Darlene Mikolas works in the office of a cigar company own- ed by Bill Breen. Jim Harmon is a book- keeper there, and Gary Held is his assis- tant. Judy Schwartz has organized a girls' baseball team on the moon. By the way Pat Zaccard, Jeneen Wil- liams and Glenna Eckert work in the same office that I do. Sincerely, Mary Ann P. S.
