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

As we entered stage II we came upon Monsieur Brice Clark who was artistically applying make-up to the famous faces of Basil Miller and Dale Lonsbury, who have replaced Hope and Crosby. Donna Shaffer was waiting patiently for the comedy team's approval of the costumes which she had designed for their new picture. We continued on to set IV where America's foremost feminine photographer, Elinor Loomis, was taking publicity stills of Lois Spangle, who incidentally was sporting an Erl Raney Original Chapeau rumored to have cost S7S0.00. As we reached the studio gate, we were nearly trampled by the thundering hoofs of the horses belonging to Sheila Harman and Tillie Van Wagner, rising stars of the horse operas. We winged our way to Washington where we found John Elliottis campaign manager, Donna Phinney, already hard at work on the Elliott for President in '60' H program. In Congress we found Dick Fisher, Speaker of the House, and prominent Congress- men Cloyce Clark, Burdett Jackson and Congresswomen Mary Jane Henderson, and Barbara Gwiazdowski. We met Keith Newnam coming from Psychiatrist Loren Heckler's office. A week before Keith had thrown two million one-dollar bills from the 200th story window of Bob Blum's town house and had just been having himself examined. From Washington, we flew to Hogback Lake in time to catch the grand opening of Helen Newkam and Delight Rnehart's summer resort. Featured nightly on the revolv- ing bandstand were Don Chaddick and Beauteous Banshees and Waddie Myers and her Boogie Men. Also in the spotlight as the Dindrew Sisters were Elsie Castner, Mary Lois Baker and JoAnne Thrasher. Handsome Harold Dowell acted as master of cere- monies. We sincerely hope that you will be as pleased as we were to discover that the members of the class of ,48 have really made their mark in the world. Fondly, ILEEN NELSON NANCY PENCE CLAIRE SMITH P. S.-Please tell Druck that our class has chosen to ignore the law of averages, not one of us has died of cancer. Page Twenty nme
