CLASS PROPHECY After 20 years of hard work in a sewing factory, I. Devoy McCreary was at last entitled to draw my social security and live off its benefits. Al- ways having had a yearn to travel, I decided to make a cross country tour. So Frank Williams and I settled ourselves in his brand new Harley Davidson and started west to visit points of interest. Stopping in Pittsburgh to go through the steel mills, we were happy to find Rose Marie Frazier, a stenographer in the main office. There we also found Floyd Wertz and Roy Fisher, Supervisors over the metallurgy depart- ment. In the Westinghouse Research Building, we found Ethel Yankanich busily engaged in atomic energy experiments. Erecting a new lighting system for her work were Gerald Latshaw and Tom Shippey whom we learned were the best electricians in Pittsburgh. Being time for lunch we stopped at Bowens Diner, owned and operated by none other than our old friend Harold Bowen. How good to see him and learn Alice Imgrund was head waitress. Continuing on our way through Ohio, we learned Don Grasser was plant manager of the Firestone Rubber Co. How he had changed! Wearing a black mustache and tipping the scales at 250, we barely recognized our old friend. In the heart of Indiana's Corn belt, whose name do you think we saw on the end of a huge red barn? Brady's of course. Owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Lohr and their four sturdy sons. lust after we left their farm, a large freight veered crazily across the highway and crashed into a telephone pole. Quickly we rang for an am- bulance and who should appear at the scene but Mortician Iim Leydig, ably assisted by Bob Leydig. As the injured driver was removed from the scene, we were shocked to find that it was Ioel Colvin. Twenty Three

CLASS PROPHECY We followed the racing ambulance to the hospital and was very glad to learn he had but one broken rib and a few brush burns. He was carefully bandaged by nurse Evelyn Dull who told us Lovella Rose was Dietician in that hospital. Stopping at the Double M Shoppe, to my pleasant surprise, I found Mary Lois Herline and Marian Shaffer doing a fine and thriving business. We drove out to the famous speedway and Iimmy Otto was driving for Ioey Chitwood. Arriving in Chicago the next day, we went to see the Chicago Cubs playing ball. At third base was Barry Leydig who could really play ball. Visiting the Great Lakes Navel Training Center, we found Lieutenant- Commander Wayne Hobson instructing there. Vaughn Way was testing a B-17 Bomber with Ned Shippey and Harold Coyle working the guns. Shoot-a- Mile Coyle, that's him! In Iowa we looked up Iean Miller who was a teacher there in a little red school house. Ferne Slick was doing missionary work in the Mountains of Nebraska. In Cheyenne, Wyoming, we visited a large ranch owned by Ronald Custer. Bob Taylor and Park Williams were busy rounding up the doggies. In Salt Lake City, Utah, we found Geraldine Sheirer and Mary Turner raising carrots with their husbands. We stopped in Reno to visit Audrey Mit- chell who said she was getting another divorce. In Hollywood we saw Phyllis Pensyl who had as her personal attendant Shirley Moore. Her lovely costumes were designed by Lowalla Mullin and her assistant Ianet Detweiler. We continued our journey home tired but happy, because we had seen all our former classmates. Twenty Four
