Cllass Prophecy JUNE 17, 1958 Dear Diary I guess it must be natural for a senior to feel as I do near my last days of school. It seems that each day can not last long enough. Frequently old school-day memories come back to me and I wish I could live those days all over again. However, I guess dreaming will do no good or get me nowhere. Speaking of dreams, last night I had a very unusual dream. I dreamed that I awoke in the morning to find myself ten years in the future. This is a brief account of my subconscious adventure It was very exciting and strange. I found myself in a large home, beautifully furnished, with all the modern conveniences. This period was called the Push Button Age, a time not hard to discover since my surroundings certainly revealed that. Where should I start??? Which button should I push first??? What would happen??? All such questions went through my mind. I finally started my venture in the living room. The first button I pushed turned on the television. The show about to be presented was being sponsored by the Chrysler Corporation, of which Gerald Davis had become the head. Mr. Davis' office staff was so attractive that he used them as part of his advertisement. His secretarial staff consisted of Alice McNulty, Joni Hackett, Rowena George, and Diane Hurlburt. Between laughs,they made very successful secretaries and, by the way, looked very becoming on the air. On a different channel I found Patricia Roche starring in her own television series entitled WLiving with Patty.N Sponsor- ing her show were the Avon Cosmetics, the correct use of which was demonstrated by Dorothy Calteaux. Dorothy had become head of the Avon Cosmetic Company. Looking up through my glass ceiling, I saw a helicopter buzzing around. It soon landed and, to my amazement, Jean Kirsch and Sharon Casey came out and greeted me. They informed me that they enjoyed a recent trip around the world. Also they told me that Georgetta McKinsey had become a very successful airline hostess. Suddenly a very strange sensation went through me. I thought the house was moving and, sure enough, it was. The house was being moved in order to avoid the sun's bright rays. An invention for moving houses to suit one's taste had been patented by Donald Simons, David Woodruff, and Larry Casey.

CLASS PROPHECY fcont.7 Now with the house turned about, I could see Main Street. A large truck passed by. The truck was not so unusual, but the lettering on it took my attention. It read, nCl1ff's Chevrolet Sales and Service.N Clifford Davies had acquired his own Chevro- let plant. The next car that went by I did not recognize. Later I found out it was a DePirromobile. Michael DePirro had recently patented the car. Marjorie Moltrup was driving the car. She Was the f1rSf person to purchase Mike's sports auto and, by the way, was a test driver for various sports car manufacturers. I decided to go outside and explore the outside world. Before I got out,someone came to the door giving out free samples of a new doughnut recipe, compliments of nBakers' Bakery,n run by Dolores Baker. Finally getting outside,I decided to hire a taxi and explore the town. Right at my service was WMathewsons' Taxi Service for Blondes.N Of course, this meant women only. Larry Mathewson gladly took me for a scenic tour of the town. While on this ride, I found out many interesting facts from Larry. Among these were that Beverly Binnie and Sylvia Nichols had become fashion models for Macey's in New York City, Robert Ritter was giving outer space flying lessonsg Judy Cotton had become treasurer of the General Electric Company: Marie Bliss had become a famous commercial artistgBeverly Davies and Sandra Lloyd were playing for the New York Philharmonic Orchestrag Raymond Kaiser, John Dutton, and David Reisdorf were leaders of the Amer- ican Dairy Association and were very successful farmers, Sandra George was running her own detective agency for women's strayed meng and Edna Husted was working as beauty assistant to NCandy Jones.' As we proceeded, I saw a state trooper on the sidewalk. He looked like David Blendinger and,sure enough, he was. Here I left the taxi and talked with him. He informed me that he had found his happiness with Ruth Pfarner, and Ruth was still teaching. I noticed a sign on a nearby building reading nDon's Dancing Studio.H Dave told me that Donald White had taken over Arthur Murray's dancing studio. Also, he said that Dee Schnitzler had recently received 'his bache1or's degree and was rapidly becoming a millionaire. He had many employees in his newly acquired indus- trial plant and among them were Carol Owens, one of his stenog- raphers, and Donna Schickler, one of his bookkeepers. Carol and Donna both agreed that Dee was very easy to get along with and work for.
