CLASS PROFHECY Dear Mary, I have just found a minute to write you about the big event. It v;as really great. You probably remember how we used to sit at all the class meetings and tell about the big class reunion that we were going to have. Personally, I never thought we would have one, but I guess I underestimated our class. I suppose you got the same kind of card that I got for an invitation. I thought it was really very clever reading: ::Pack your grips and bring the kids. We fur- nish baby sitters and diaper and bottle service. I had to get e. short vacation from the boss before I could go. As I probably told you, I am new secretary and writer for Danny Kaye, It is really a wonderful job. It is just like going through some of those com- edy readings thnt I used co do in school. Well, I arrived at the hotel and was greeted by a huge sign saying: V 3LCGME ATJHJKN GRADUATES OF 1947 . It made me feel pretty good a. l more anxious to see all the old gang. A3 I went in I noticed a bell boy in a bright red suit with gleaming gold buttons, smiling at me.

He Lad been working at the hotel for about six years and he was the one who suggested that we have our reunion at the Stevens Hotel. He told me that I was the first one to arrive but that he knew the others would be arriving soon. I told him that you wouldn!t be he. e because you were teaching French and history at the University of Paris. He said that he wasn’t surprised because you were the prize history student in our Senior class- As I cane downstairs later, I saw another group arriving. It was Don Pohlod and Art Deschamps. As I found out later, Art is nov the owner of several l'arge farms. It seems he married a little farm girl and he is quite the farmer now. Don has done very well for himself, too. He did such nice work on the drawing on our yearbook that when a couple of artists saw; it they looked him up and now he is one of the oountrys leading commercial artists. It seems h-- is one of the best in his line of work. Soon I heard the door open and in walked I.larceau Criouelion, his wife, and the cutest pair of twins you ever saw. They are boys, two years old and they were
