CLASS PROPHECY As the sun is slowly sinking beyond the towering skyscrapers of Hew York in the year 1960, our star rises amidst the billowing clouds. It seems to linger over Holiday Inn, whose proprietor is Paul Haase. Paul is making pre- parations for the reunion of his class of 1947. He is especially anxious for the arrival of his brother Emil, who is bringing his Basketeers on a sight seeing trip through Hew York. As everyone knows Jknil is the new head coach of Hasseville, which is now a suberb of Burt. The interior of the Inn is decorated with huge palm trees and rich vel- vet carpeting. There is an air of elegance everywhere. As Emil and his Basketeers leave the station and climb into a taxi, he at once recognizes his old classmate Robert Riebhoff at the wheel. Bob aoquired his skill for driving during his noon hours at Burt High. Arriving at the club they find that they are a trifle early, but Paul is eager to have them look around his fine establishment. They make a tour of the place and finally come to the kitchen. Roger Chafee is at the work table making his special souffle . Roger is now employed at the Waldorf Astoria as first chef and is doing the honors for Paul on the gala occasion. Hext to arrive is Edward Abbas and Arlet Cherland. Ed is the head of a law agency and Arlet is employed as his private secretary. He has a big trial coming up next week at which he has to defend his old pal Ordel Diok- meyer, who seems to think he has inherited the right to be third governor of Georgia. While Paul is chatting with his old classmates, the head waiter brings him a telegram. He looks very disappointed as he reads it to his guests. Another one of the classmates Butch Madsen will not be able to be present because of the sudden illness of his Grand Champion Baby Beef. All of a sudden there is a loud blast of an ambulance siren. Everyone rushes to the door to see what is the matter and where should the ambulance stop but in front of Holiday Inn'. I Stepping from it is Dr. Duane Habeger, Burse Mary Griese, and Head Matron Stella Rachut. All three of then work to- gether at St. Marys Hospital in Hew York. As the evening is progressing, Paul decides to start some of the fes- tivities. The main event of the evening is Hi Bombardo's orchestra featuring his star singer Lugenia Riedel. The spotlight is focused on her as she sings Starlight.
