CLASS PROPHECY Hollywood. Calif., June 8. 1960 Dearest Marilyn: I received your last letter quite some time ago. and believe me. I’m sorry I put off answering for so long. You see I was on a vacation, and the letter was waiting here all that time. I was very glad to hear about some of our old Classmates, and I too have heard from and seen some of them. Well, to begin. I am just recuperating from a business trip to Indianapolis, Indiana, where I attended the Annual Indianapolis Speed Races, and guess whom I saw' our old friend Tenney, driving No. 42 and really taking the lead. I talked with him for a few minutes after the race was over, and Richard seems to have really fallen for auto racing. Of course he won the race by a large margin. On my trip home I stopped in Omaha and whom should I see, but our “Little Miller Boy” who is now the manager of Omaha’s famous Omar Mills. Howard always was a little “Flour” in the Miller family. After leaving Omaha, and of course being very sleepy eyed. I dialed my radio to station XELO Clint. Texas. Here to my surprise I heard Don Copeland singing his happy songs as he always did when we wfere in high school. Don has quite an easy life now. as he has taken over Tee Texas Tyler’s position. I managed to stay awake for a few’ more miles, and then as I was leaving Lincoln I saw a sign saying “Ardis’ Candy Kitchen and Coffee Shop.” I saw the name Ardis and thought of our old classmate, so I went in and sure enough to my surprise there stood Ardis Trosper beating a batch of fudge!! Ardis told me that she had a letter from Vonita Cooper the other day. Vonita is living in Arkansas now and is raising chickens. She says it really keeps her busy cleaning out the “coops.” Of course I stopped in Cambridge on my way home, and first of all. whom should I see but Ruth Tomlin. DeLoris Schaffert. and Dorothy Deter- ding. Ruth was at Trenchard’s service station getting her Dad’s 39 Pontiac filled with gas. and just like “the old day’s.” Dode and Dot were with her. Naturally I went over to talk to them, and was I ever amazed to hear about their occu tions. Ruth really did carry out her plans of ing a country school teacher. She is now teaching in that little school house just south of Cambridge, known as Dist. No. 79. She always was good at keeping the kids happy!!! DeLoris, who w’as on her way to New York from Los Angeles, was just spending a few days in Cambridge visiting friends and re’atives. Upon graduation undecided in what to choose as a career, she started taking skiing lessons. She is now a champion skier and is going to represent the United States in the World Olympics this year. I do hope she alw'ays keeps her “sunny side” up. Then too. there was Dorothy, and I learned to know' that her career is of athletics too. She is a professional Ice Skater, and has as her skat- ing partner that very famous Dick Button. Miss Deterding is known throughout the nation for her wonderful figure ........ skating. While I was in Cambridge. I saw my old friend Bob Phillips. “Flip” seems to be quite busy brick- ing up a new gymnasium there. I always thought that Bob would go on to school, school and more school (You know’ how he LOVED THOSE BOOKS comic books!) and maybe someday even be- come president of our beloved country, but Bob seems to think he has that special technique in bricklaying too!! Oh! Yes! Twila (Max) and her husband bought that Ranch Motel, know’n as the “Chuck Wagon” just east of McCook. They seem to have a profitable business out there. The reason is that they cut the price of T-Bone Steaks from $5.50 to $1.00. Everybody from the surrounding towns eat at the “Chuck Wagon” now. Twila to'd me she had a letter from Viola Martin and she is head secretary of the Delsy Products. Then going on. as I was entering my o’d h me state, w’hom should I see. but my old buddy. Dale Pearson, w’ho was standing by the roadside paint- ing some of the scenic beauty along Donner Pass. After graduation Dale w'ent to an Art school, and now is world famous for some of his artistic work. Well, little Bill Little seems to have grown considerably and is now playing professional foot- ball. I see by the papers that he has again signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. I surely hope I can see him play w’hen the Eagles tackle the Los Angeles Rams here next season. Just the other day. Harry Lemmon, another good friend and classmate of ours, came to see me. He owns a citrus fruit farm here in California, and specializes in raising Lemmons.” Well. I guess this is all the news for now. so I’ll keep writing and loving you always. I’m very happy to hear that you can get leave of your job soon and that we can still have the June wedding. By the way. I’ll be in New York next week. All my love Always. Jack.
