CLASS PROPHECY The date is May 20, 1970, Orvin Hedquist, professional big game hunter, is leaving Clear Lake enroute to Africa. Larry Lien, his hot-rodding chauffeur, speeds toward the destination--San Francisco. They stop to refuel in a gas station and are surprised to find old school chum Gary Rothe owning and operating the largest gas station in Wisconsin. After a few uneventful miles along the country roads, Orvin's limousine mysteriously breaks down. They are fortunate to be helped by farmer, Dave Wahlstrom, and hired hand, Tyrone Asp, who are driving a load of hay to their farm. They are taken to Dave’s farm and eat a home-cooked meal prepared by Master Chef Joy Wilson. Meanwhile, their car is repaired faultlessly by mechanic Everett Rogers from the Ever Ready Everett garage. Having the car fixed, Orvin and Larry are invited to the big gala barn dance at the Deborah Holldorf farm. At 8:00 they arrive at the happily decorated barn and go inside. Inside they hear the gay music of Carl Frohreich's Dead Beats which consists of singer, Earl Larson: fiddler. Bob Eggert; guitar, Darrel Kuhn; accordian, Jim Stoltz; and bass fiddler, Richard Briesemeister. It was less than an hour before the couples began to arrive; there was a huge turn out. Harvey Amundsen arrived with his happy brood of 11 children. The party came to an abrupt end when Marlene Knutson came wildly galloping into the happy throng riding a white stallion and yodeling, Back in the Saddle Again.” At dawn the following day Orvin and Larry said good-bye to their hosts and with a squeal of Larry's tires are off for Las Vegas. They arrive in Las Vegas and proceed to the Richardson Night Club where singer Gordy Hammons, the teenage idol, is appearing. Gordy's two slick managers, Ron Anderson and Lyle Banks, are tending to important business in another room. Lome Campbell, the wealthy steel tycoon, is gambling successfully at the roulette table. He is with John Peterson who is the world-famous architect and Ronnie Fox, who is the most eligible bachelor in Las Vegas. After a night of exciting events, Orvin and Larry move on. In a day they arrive in San Francisco to attend a chauffeur's convention on Better Driving Techniques. The main speaker is Pat Steinberger who talks on The Art of Better Driving. Bill Skapyak is attending the meeting representing the Air Force Jet Pilots' Association. Bill Olson, the famous race car driver, is also there. His girl friend, Janice Buhr, is with him--as always. Lynn Torkelson, the president of Princeton, speaks to the crowd. After the meeting Orvin leaves to visit old classmates he knows are in town. He goes first to the Fishermen's Wharf and meets Kent and Keith Larson who are deep sea divers. After a short chat Orvin moves on to visit Connie Paulson and Joan Lenselink who are an airline stewardess and dressmaker, respectively. 20
