Class Prophecy August 24, 1956 Dear Miss Shultz, Perhaps you remember the vow that Claire Smith, Nancy Pence, and I made one Friday afternoon 'way back in 1948. We had been working on features for the Key and were discussing the probable occupations of our classmates. Claire suggested that it would be wonderful if, after five or ten years, someone would contact each of the graduates of our class to discover just what he actually was doing. Then and there we laughingly vowed to clo just that and, surpisingly enough, our vow has been fulfilled. One afternoon just as Claire and I were finishing the last paragraph of our new novel, Queer Vegetable, who should knock on our office door but Nancy. She had left her all male modeling agency in charge of her competent assistant, Annette Aranguren, and had come prepared to go classmate hunting. Earlier in the day she had visited Molly Hosack fnow a famous air-line magnate and stunt pilotj at her office at Hosack fformerly La Guardiaj Field. While they were talking, the door suddenly burst open and Bill Crain and Tom Jack rushed in arguing heatedly as to whether or not their new plane would break 4000 m.p.h. When they saw Molly's guest they stopped, listened to her story and finally gave her one of their privately manufactured and costly amphibian heliocoprer cars in which to make the trip. We took off immediately for Hollywood, where big things were doing on the Bride and Groom program. Elinor Owens and Dean Sutton, Shirley Brokaw and Phil Hull, Phyllis Porter and Q'W0odie Dygert were finally taking the long awaited plunge in a triple wedding. After the ceremony the M. C., George Close, presented the couples with the Brooklyn Bridge, Marshall Field and Co. and the sponsor, l'Diamond jim Willis. We congratulated our old buddies and wended our way to the Harris Brothers' Studio where Sam and Jim produce the most colossal pictures ever filmed. We were met at the studio gates by Don Seely who was vice president in charge of vice presidents. Don asked if we should like to go behind the scenes to see a movie being produced. We accepted enthusiastically. Page Twenty eight
