SENIDR CLASS PROPHECY Today, April 14, 1978, is the first day DUI at sea of the Luxurv Liner U S.S. Sul- tana, This is the start of a world-wide cruise to gather information for Look Magazine. First on the agenda is lunch at the Captain's table, As I arrive, I notice that the Captain's face seems familiar. As his wife enters the room, I saw that it was Mrs, Emie Slessman, the former Mabel Bollnger, We talked over old times and recalled the days when she was still in High School, writing to Ernie. She told us that her seventeen year old son, Emie Jr. , was planning to join the Navy, too. After lunch, we decided to find some activity on deck. The Social Director, Miss Judy Lancaster, seemed to be quite busy with several handsome young men who just didn't seem to understand the game of deck tennis. She was rather preoccupied, so we didn't stop to talk to her. The first stop on the schedule was at the beautiful island of Hawaii, We were stroll- ing along the beach at Waikiki and saw two American sailors surrounded by lovely native girls. Well, what do you know! It was Dick Norwood and Dale Carroll! Of course, we couldn't get close enough to talk to them either, We didn't have time to wait at the end of the line? We retumed to the Sultana because it was time to leave Hawaii. The next stop was foggy London. We decided to look around for some interesting gift shops. We found one, and were looking around, when we bumped into another member of the class of 58. It was Larry Coble and his wife, the former Marge Wohlford. Larry told us that he was still farming on his 5, 000 acre farm and that he and Marge were taking their first vacation away from home. Marge was looking for gifts to take back to the four grandparents who were taking care of their five children. We left Marge and Larry in the shop and retumed to the boat, We arrived in Paris, France, where the weather was considerably better than foggy London. Paris is noted, among other things, for its food. looking around for a restaurant, we saw another class member of '58, It was Dorolyn Strobel, Since we didn't have to return to the Sultana right away, she asked us to join her for lunch. As usual, we talked over old times. Dorolyn was doing quite well as a fashion designer and was in Paris for the summer to pick up the latest styles. She also told us that she hadn't gotten married because she had been too busy with her career, but that she had been dating a French millionaire. Whoops, it's time to leave Paris, so we said our good-byes and hurried back to the boat.

We arrived in time to see the passengers coming back. There were quite a few getting on for the first time at Paris. Among them, we recognized Linda Fox. We stopped her to see how things had passed for her since she graduated. Linda said that she was going to meet her husband in New York after she had taken a few week's vacation on our pleasure cruise. She was sure that her husband, who was on Wall Street, would not appreciate the fact that she had spent too much of his hard earned money on Paris fashions. Now we travel on to romantic Venice. As soon as we got off the boat, we went to the Grand Canal, We spent a lot of time riding in a gondola. We passed quite a few other gondolas and were surprised to see a couple waving to us. Why, it was Tom Cal- lison and his wife, the former Norma Urschel! As the two gondolas passed, we had time only to say Hello and note the two small children seated behind them. Back to the boat again. The next few days of the trip passed uneventfully, The next place the boat docked was at Hong Kong, China, What a place for sight- seeing! We were wandering around the city, looking at all the unusual things around us, when we ran into Sue Reeves! We asked her what in the world she was doing inChina Sue told us she was here to visit JoAnn Snyder who was teaching in a Sunday School Mission in a small village outside of Hong Kong. She invited us to go out with her and, on the way, she told us more about herself. She said that she could stay only a short time because she had to return to the States to help her husband in his Post Office. She was so proud that he had worked up from being just a mailman to running the New York Main Branch Post Office. When we arrived at the Mission School, JoAnn took a few minutes off to talk over old times with us, We asked her how long she had been in China and she replied that this will be her seventh year. She had also spent five years in India. Time was getting short again, so we had to leave the oriental city. We found things slightly different in Japan. In Tokyo, we saw quite a few Amer- ican servicemen. We passed an Army hospital and saw a white-clad nurse who looked rather familiar. We stopped her and found that it was Sharon Crago. She told us that she had just been transferred to the Tokyo hospital from Thule, Greenland. Sharon had to be on duty in a few minutes so we wished her -luck on her career and left,
