in the 'Thite House. She revealed in a round about way that she was having ''uite an'affair with a fellow Congressman. As yet her plans are uncertain, but they hinge around this certain man, It seemed that we had just begun to converse when we reached our destination. ..e, my husband and I, escorted Ramona to the Capitol Building, As we enter the Governor's Chambers we found, much to our surprise, Dorothy Schlickbernd was serving as the Governor's Secretary, From that time on there never was a lull in our con- versation. Among the interesting topics was Gene Martin and his success in the coaching of the Cornhuskers, He has turned out some fine athletes and has secured the reputation of being a Nat- ional ly—known coach, I also learned that he was married to some pretty red head from around the old camping grounds in Cuming County. In finishing up our newsy conversation I spyed a huge glittering ring on Dorothy's left hand. In inruiring about her love-life, I learned she was planning on resigning and taking the full-time jcb of being a house-wife to the son of the greatest Rancher in the •test. They plan to reside at Loveland, Colo, at the Bar L.H.D.S. Ranch. Char plane was scheduled to leave the next night, at a late hour. Having some time on our hands, we went window shopping. Seeing a very pretty dress in the window of Gold's department store, I decided to look at it, and perhaps try it on. On entering the store I was approached-by a very trim and neat looking lady, 'and taking a second glance, I saw none other than Frances Spenner. After many greetings and salutations, she told me'that she was the buyer for the Ladies Ready to Vlear department, but vas filling in that day'for one of the clerks who was ill. She was- very happy there. However, her plans were soon to be changed,'because, you see, her blond tresses were too much for the manager. He had decided that he did not want to take a chance of losing her on one-of her buying sprees, and had asked her to marry him. Nat- urally, she accepted, and was all'a-dither about the Hollywood home that was being built for her. Her engagement was to b« culminated in the spring. Over joyed with the fact that I had seen so many of my old «lass- mates, that I had not anticipated seeing for years, my husband and I left in high spirits for Mexico. Tijuana is one spot that I had always wanted to visit and the horse racing season was in full swing. Maybe‘I had better not go into the horse racing. Vie live and learnt Sometimes it is kind of expensive, V7e spent just a day there, and began our trip back toward the East, Salt

CLASS PROPHECY OF 1947 New York City, New York Twenty fifth Avenue May 22, 1957 ' Dear Mrs. 'Jells: I am sure that you will be surprised to hear from me, but- I have so much to tell you, that I am simply bubbling over. • And because I do not want to forget to tell you a single important event, I am writing to you right away, while everything is fresh in my memory. You know the old saying There are no friends like the old friend 1 One never ouite realizes how true that'is until they have been away from their old friends for a time, and then ouite by accideit meet up with them again. This was my experience very recently. As you know, my husband is a pilot for Pan American Airways, and I spend much of my time traveling with him. It is his responsibility to experiment with • all of the new inventions, to determine whether or not they waH add to the comfort of the traveling public. He likes his work very much, and needless to say, so do I. A very delightful series of events began a couple of weeks ago. My husband was flying to the west coast, so I took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Hollywood Breakfast Club,(naturally I wore my funniest hat). I stayed for the following broadcast, which was Two-gun Tony and his rootin', tootin' orchestra star- ring Alma Falsken as the leading lady. She has made a great hit in the 'western ’rorld. After visiting some of the outstanding attractions of Hollywood my husband received a call from Lincoln, Nebr. to make a rush flight bringing Nebraska's distinguished Congresswoman to the Governor, I decided to go along, not that I don't trust my hus- baTid, but for the enjoyment I would receive talking to such a distinguished person. 'Tho should it be, but Ramona Ayres. You remember her, I am sure. She wa3 always up on everything in Government Class, and as I remember, put the rest of us to shaie by her knowledge of Government. It's no surprise to me that die became famous in,her chosen field. The highlights of our con- ' versation involved some of the legislative works that take pLace

Lake City ha3 one of the nicest places for dancing built out over the lake, and while vre vre re discussing our next stop, we decided to taxi in to Salt Lake, and have a coke and a couple of dances. We communicated with the Salt Lake airport, to make arrangements for our landing, and the voice answering our call seemed very far iliar. I didn't give it a second thought, as I knew no one there, I thought, We checked in at the airport, and looking'around, who should I see, looking very business-like, and capable, but Irvin Schlickbernd, If he lives to be a thousand, he -vail never change. Time has certainly been good to him. He doesn't look a day older than the day he graduated from High School. He works in the rad:o department, and in his spare time he experiments with new devices for the betterment of television. He informed us that it was his voice that we heard as vre asked for information concerning'our re- cent landing. YJhile vre talked, he was called to the Tower, and as he left he said that he would send in'someone to talk to us that he was sure I woi.ld know and remember. Resignin'7 myself to the feeling that life can be full of surprises,and most anything can happen, I began to count on my fingers, the number of classmates that I had seen within the last few hours—vrhen from behind me a very familiar voice said Weill ’!h t do you know, if it isn't Jackson ? Yes, even before I looked around, I knew it- corld be none other than'Lee King, He was as fresh as a breeze, as misc- hevious as ever, and kept up a rapid fire of conversation about his work. He hasn't changed a bit, I'.rs, Wells,as far as his viv- acious personality is concerned. We find that he has'been given the work of checking all incoming and outgoing planes, and has several men working under him. He has a tremendous responsibility. j He always had a yen for mechanics, you know. You probably arc -.rendering what happened to our plans for the remainder of the day. They were forgotten, and what time re had left we spent with Lee and Irvin, Well, all good things must come to an end and so also must this letter. I hope that you vail enjoy hearing from me as much as I enjoyed all of my delightful experiences of the past few hours. We are all looking forward to having a get-together some time in the near future. All of us are enjoying your school papers. Keep them coming and write when you have time.
