Ruth is teaching the first grade in Cam- bridge and Jean is the Principal of Junior High. ‘‘Is Patricia O’Brien still living on the farm and does she still have that old car she used to drive to school? I bet I could give her a few lessons on driving the old buggy!” “No, she isn’t on the farm, and I doubt if she does have the old car. The last I heard she had just bought a new Packard. She Ls private secre- tary to Nebraska’s new’ governor.” ‘‘Say, I thought I heard Fidler over the radio the other day. Is he really a news commentator?” “Yes. he went on the radio about two years ago. Remember how he used to fight over who would get the World Herald in the library every morning? He must have had it in him then to be a news commentator, and “Red Colvert do you remem- ber him?—Well, he has an orchestra of his own now and is playing at the Turnpike in Lincoln. “How’s Roger Newcomb? He used to be the life of everything. I surely have missed him. “He is now editor of the Omaha World Herald and he writes editorials for the Herald. “I suppose Norman Kinder is working on a farm somewhere?” “No. he is a photographer for the New York Times. “Say. where is Calvin now?” “Oh, he and his family moved to Chicago a few years ago and he is preaching in one of the big churches there.” “What’s Kenneth Bose doing these days.” “He’s running a garage repairing wrecked cars. He got the idea after he had wrecked his eighth car.” “Did Betty Burton ever get married? “Yes, she got married right after school was out and she is living in Chambers. “I suppose Dean Sexton is still on the farm.” “Yes. he took over his folks farm north of town as they have retired and moved to Cambridge.” “Well I guess that is all the kids that graduated in our class. No, wait a minute what happened to Dick Trant? “Oh. he is forman of the Bethlehem Steel Cor- poration and is making that money that always seemed so important to him.” “Well, Bob have you decided what you are going to order.

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 read your new book, and I really think it is swell. I never thought you could write so intelligently.” “By the way have you ever heard from Dick Coba? He went away to medical school, but I never knew what happened to him after that?” Bob asked in a puzzled tone. “Oh, he is a great doctor in the Bryan Memorial in Lincoln. 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-
