CLASS PROPHECY cf '45 It is a. beautiful, sunny May afternoon in Miami, Florida, in the year 1955. World War II has been over now for about ten years, and the coun- try is again Tmclc to rorral, with gasoline and tires for everybody. A warm breeze is blowing over Miami, aud tnere is a hustle and bustle at the Grard Depot before the trains arrive. Harold Bates, one of the good-looking eligibles of the city, has just married his high school sweetheart, Rose Marie Ringsdorf, and they are preparing to leave on their honeymoon. How Harold, better known in high school as Cutie, has just inherited a great sum of money from his late uncle, and they have planned to take a real trip, a cross-country tour of our nation, and to stop in to see all the highlights of each state. They also planned to take a short trip to Hawaii, for since Outie has a vacation of two months from the factory in which he works, they are going to take life easy and forget all about the regular grind of his steady hours, and since the war, they have made a perfect all-the-year- 'round resort of this lovely island. At last the train arrives, and as they step aboard, Rosie and Cutie are very surprised to see their cld classmate, Stanley Riedel, as con- ductor. Seating themselves by the window, Rosie gazes around and se- s a bent, haggard figure across the isle. Taking a closer look she sees it is none other than Everett Eimers. They quickly get up to say hello to their old school chum, and are scon engaged in noisy conversation. They find that Everett is going to Hot Springs for his health. Us brother Ervin, another schoolmate of theirs, lives there, and is employed in 11 Chris tens eu's Earn Enuipment Company, with Roland Christensen as head of the big department. alsr ±. .lies in Hot Springs, and believe it or not, ho is a typical bachelor- at his young age, too. It is mid-afternoort of the ney day when the train finally pulls into the Central Depot of New York City. They have quite a time finding a taxi, but finally succeed. And. to their amazement, it is driven by the great ’’breaker of all records,” iranois Riobhoff. While he takes the couple uptown, they have a great time talking over their school days. Ah', many is the time they wish they were back to that little brick building. Franci8 takes them straight to a good hotel. As they walk up to the hotel desk, who should they see but Clerice Riebhoff as desk clerk. They talk with her, and egain rece-ll their fond memories of high school days. They left, promising to visit her at her ’’Home For All Stray Dogs as soon as possible. During the stay in New York, they went to the big arena to see a box- ing match. Why I Doesn't one of those husky fellows look familiar? Sure enough, it's William Boettcher. Inquiring around, they then find that he has become quite popular in the athletic field, but they expected that as he was all for athletics in high school. The next morning the newly wedded couple leave New York. They h ve enjoyed their stay here, but of course they must go on. At the 'Urpart they have quite a we.it, and so to pass the time av;e.y, they buy a copy ef the New York Times . The headlines immediately attract their attention, Dog Biscuit Company Robbed'. They quickly scan th° article and see th t Gerald Riedel is manager of the firm. Reading on, they find that he and his secretary, Vivian Wejrd, were held up the previous evening by a ga-ng of deepere.does. They feel that they should extend him a word of sympathy, but, not being able to visit him personally rt this late hour, they de-
