SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On one bright sunny day in June. 1957. Bob Payton was walking down the Main Street in Los Angeles and since it was a pretty warm day he de- cided he would stop at the next drug store. D ,wn the street a little farther he could see the Walgreen. That was one of the largest chain stores in th? United States. Bob casually walked in and sat down at the counter. He sat there for a moment just resting. This had been a pretty big year for Bob. All year long he had been working on a book and now it was just being published, “Lessons on How to Drive Recklessly.” a very educational book. He finally looked up at the waitress and to his great surprise he saw that it was Donna Tomlin. This was the first time he had seen any of his classmates in ten long years as he had been stay- ing close to his home in Los Angeles concentrating on his book. Of course Donna was very glad to see Bob and they started reminiscing about the good old times they had in high school. “Donna, how did you ever get to be a waitress in one of these stores? Boy. you are really getting up in the world,” Bob asked casually. Oh, I’m not just a waitress here, I am the man- ager.” replied Donna in one of those serious tones of hers, “and by the way.

I saw by the paper that he just oper- ated on the President’s son the other day. I guess the son wouldn’t think of having anyone else operate on him and the whole country knows about Dr. Coba now.” “I suppose you hear quite often from Mrs. Ross Newcomb.” “Oh, not so often, but you know she is pretty busy now. She sent me a picture of her twin girls. They look just like Marylou. dimples and all. Then they have a boy who is simply the very image of Ross.” “Say. what is Lila doing now?” “Haven’t you heard? She is in Hollywood mak- ing one of those ice skating pictures and her favor- ite hair specialist is Bonnie. She has a shop there now you know.” “How’s Decker getting along by now? Did she ever get to leave home?” “Oh, yes, she left home and went away to veter- inary school. She is now living in McCook and is known the state over for her good veterinary work. “Say what did our brilliant classmate. Mildred Harsch ever do? Oh. she is a professor in the Nebraska Univer-
