THE INDIAN PAGESEVENTEEN 1947 CLASS PROPHECY By Willa Mary Hewes and Joanne McMahon The year for the big event had come!! The class of '47 was holding its tenth reunion at Chautauqua Institution. They hadn't seen one another for five years and had come from all parts of the world. Martha Kemp, now a famous missionary in Angola, was giving a series of lectures at Norton Hall about the need for doctors in Africa. Dr. Robert S, Orser, practicing in Burma, spoke to Martha after her talk when the entire class had assembled. He said that the need for doctors was great in Burma, too. Carol Saxton, working in Johns Hopkins as a dietician, voiced her opinion about the need for doctors in the United States, as did Martha Milligan, a laboratory technician who had been doing some work with scientists about the effect of atomic energy on humans. Steve Kovach, aircraft technician, had just arrived from California. He had been delayed by a breakdown in his plane. Homer Terwilliger, an auto mechanic, had found the trouble with no difficulty fthere was no gasl. Among those present were John Whitehead and Lincoln Fisher, both top farmers in Chautauqua. That afternoon the class attended a concert given by the famous pianist, Sidney Smith. Shirley Crump, now a radio singer, presented several numbers. Douglas Seymour also followed the line of music, becoming a hill-billy musician but also being a gentleman farmer on the side. Doug had his own radio program, a half-hour show once a week. As this program was being heard from coast to coast regularly, there was a sponsor and a commercial: If your pan is petering out, go to Billy's Peter Pan Beauty Salon, which is operated by Marion Greene and Elizabeth Hodges. After this program Willa Mary Hewes and Joanne McMahon, both elementary teachers, gave a talk on Why Teachers Are So Important. After this the alumni went to see a major league baseball game. The winning team's pitcher was George Fisher. Irene Boss, Carol Miller, and Rosemary Flanders agreed that it was the best baseball game they had ever seen. Rosemary was Mrs. John G. Stewart now and the mother of twins. Carol Miller was engaged to Roland Hewes. As it was then getting quite late, all said goodbye and departed towards their homes, far and near. They felt sad about parting but knew that in another ten years they would be together again.
