'V 5 KIKVIII WY YI ' W l A I Q 40 CLASS PROPHECY Having been mildly successful with my last book, I was asked to do a series of articles on NSchool Daye.u Realizing that I could find no better material then that of my former classmates, in the class of '46, I set out immediately to acquire the needed material. I telephoned for a reservation on the Golden and Bette Golden for their rockets the passengers to tation was upheld Bhd Delores STZEVCDS their destinations. Stevens Ripping Rocket. had long been famous and had a reputation for always getting Of course, this repu- by the famous pilot, Kenneth Henrey, the Sky Romeo, and his charming co-pilot Virginia Bechtel. As we ere drifting along over Nevada, I was startled to see a girl running from one cloud bank to another paint- ing beautiful pictures on penny post cards. I recognized Arlene Herrick and called a greeting to her. She motioned for me to look downward and I saw a wild bronco who was try- ing in vain to shake its rider. Marveling at such horsemen- shlp I looked more closely and discovered the rider to Alice Weise. I had heard of her famous dude ranch but had slipped my mind. By this time we were in California and were ready begin the first part of our Journey to other planets. had taken us all of five minutes to get from New York be it to It to California, but Kenny always traveled slowly so that th passengers could get a better view of We had to stop for a few minutes e the scenery. so I got out and walked around. I remembered that Judy Emanuel and Pauline Lange had formed a partnership and now owned the biggest hospital and laboratory on earth. I decided to run over and see them. I made arrangements for a transfer to another rocket, hailed a taxi, and set out. The taxi driver was humming in a manner that seemed strangely familiar the driver turned around. I was sure and I was right for it was none other I told her I was looking for material slightly off key so I coughed a bit and it was someone I knew then Jeanette Rugotzke. about my old classmates and she was able to supply me with quite a bit of material. She told me all about the much-read-about Wwater Innu. This Water Inn was Raymond Schal1nske's Harem for Mermaids. Jeanette pulled up to a large glass building and a large neon sign flashed WNever Die Hospitalu. I walked in and was greeted by both Pauline and Judy. We talked over all the things that have happened since we last met. Suddenly a shrill ringing pierced out chatter and Pauline answered it. After she hung up she told me that it was Qgb Halverson. It seems Bob, who is now an undertaker, has an agreement with Pauline. He is to get all the used patients from the e . 55:1 ,OO of X Q I ver Die Hospital' 111419 'WVWW 23229261 f 'mv 52243 fa

'fe Prophecy continued Judy asked me to stay and spend the evening with them and there was nothing I would rather do. After glancing through the papers, arguing a bit, we decided to see a movie. The picture playing that night was 'Back to the Storm' a sequal to 'Gone With the Windl. It starred Joanne Shoemaker, now universally famous. Realizing that my material was far from complete, I pulled up my tents and prepared to steal away. Returning to my rocket my Journey to Mars began. As one of the passengers turns around and greets me, I recognize the trlmly-dressed dark- haired woman as Muriel Ayers. She came over and told me that she is on her way to 'Venus to get some new ideas for her fashion show. Muriel has designed dresses that are worn all over the universe. We finally arrive in Mars and in stopping at one of the recreation centers, I found Aubrey Arrles rollerskatlng for the customers. I inquired as to the owner of the place and some kind gentleman tells me that the owner of the place is Sherwood Anderson, a new-comer in the recreation field. Sherwood Eemself comes over and we talk excitedly. It seems Sherwood is doing quite wellg why, he can even afford to hire two cashiers. To my surprise they turn out to be Ruth Dobrenz and Arlis Glenz. Arlis is looking for her eighth Husband, Count Double-Check. Mars holds no attraction for me so I move on to Pluto, and arriving at 'Soupbone' the capital of Pluto, I decide my hair needs fixing after all my strenuous traveling. After walking down the street for a block or two, I see a bearty parlor. When I had entered and taken off my coat I was amazed to see Marjorie McLellen smiling at me. She had been fixing hair on this planet for several weeks now and was making a success of her little salon. 'Recently,' she told me,'a new men's section had been added--a 'wigs for bald heads' department'. Marjorie skillfully combed my hair and soon I was sitting under the dryer. Suddenly a soft-voiced blonde came up and asked if I needed a manicure. Absent- mlndly I nodded, and then with a startled glance I saw the manacurist was Irma Schumacker. I hadn't seen her since we graduated together in '45. Irma said she had Joined MarJor1e about six months ago. I picked up the Pluto newspaper, 'The Bow Wow T1mes', and found the edltoral very interesting. The ideas presented seemed familar and in looking at the name of the editor it was easy to see why. The editor was none other than Howard Luedtke. I also noticed that his assistant was the a5Ie 5EIrIe Lengyel. It seems Howard has at last persuaded Shirley to come and help him. It must have been hard for Shirley to give up her toe-dancing just when she was becoming famous. ,qs ddlwku 'K V? 2' v ' 0 Me' 47' eiidi
