Class Prophecy The date is May 19, 1971. In our nation's capital Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Beestman, pleads before a Senate sub-committee to pass measures assuring fur-lined pouches for all pure-bred kangaroos. Nina Olson demands that George Lehto, Navy's number one frog man, be heard. He comes to plead his case for mink-lined frog flippers. The plans meet with severe opposition from Senate Counsel, Rita Lenselink. Her assistant, Ann Torkelson, prevents a riot by suggesting that a public opinion poll of their former classmates be taken to determine public sentiment. Supreme Court Justice, Richard Nordahl, nods agreement and the search for the 61 of '61 begins. First returns include many of the big names in America's upper echelon. Ronnie Wallen is orbiting around Neptune as he prepares reports for the United States Navy. Ken Dado and his Rambling Wrecks Orchestra are playing on a Mediterranean cruiser captained by Pete Clark. The Orchestra features Donna Scherf at the piano and Margie Newville as female vocalist. Dave Swagger, magician, had featured an act where he sawed his assistant in half, but one time it was unsuccessful and mortician LeRoy Nelson had to finish the job. His slogan, You kill ’em. I'll chill 'em, has brought him international fame. Recreation director of the ship, Mary Ann Rothe, and Poughkeepsie Pigskin coach, Jerome Witthoft, are mapping out T-formation plays on the bridge. Hostess, Joan Clapsaddle, has planned a style show starring Bonnie Booth and Connie Larson, two of the nation's top models. Plain clothes-woman Judi Newville drifts along the mezzanine as she guards lovelorn columnist, Diane Briesemeister, from the rushes of Dave Witthoft who needs advice. By the way, Dave is a detective at 76 Sunset Strip. With this many classmates accounted for, it is decided to have a class reunion. Gary Danielson, head of his own bus line, drives the group to Virgil Graese’s Beverly Hill's Hotel. Later they go to an exclusive restaurant owned and operated by Charlotte Lee. Here they are joined by the prominent hardware tycoon, Darwin Ohlin, and his actress mate, Doreen Johnson, who enter with their party which includes Gary Tulgren, a wholesale grocer, and Ramona Felland, a Canadian ski-resort operator. They report that the Mortimer brothers run a dog-sled race track in Alaska where Marvin Anderson assists. He does nothing but mush all day. Six-gun Marshall, Marvin Sias, keeps the dogs from running around town. After returning to the hotel, they meet Larry Eggert and Murlyn Orner, on leave from the National Guard, who have come to visit Virgil. They tell of their adventures in New Zealand where Virgil Swagger and Jo Matson are operating a missionary hospital, with a professional staff headed by Virgil Barthman. Patty Burg is the head nurse and brother Pat is in charge of keeping pygmies out of the lobby. It is rumored that Marlene Grosbeck is riding one of Larry Titel's thoroughbreds at the Santa Anita Race Track. Further investigation shows that this is true, and also that Dale Logan, a newscaster assisting Huntley and Brinkley, is cheering wildly for Titel's horse, Santa Claus, named after pro-wrestler, Dave Johnson. The day of the reunion arrives. Bonnie Anderson announces that she is Yul Brynner’s barber, and Laura, Marlis, and Bill Christensen have opened a seashore resort in the Sahara Desert. Jim Kuhn and DuWayne Johnson are playing for the Harlem Globetrotters. 22

Dick Wahlstrom is a psychologist, John Streif, an industrial arts teacher in the Congo, and Gene Smith is the delegate to the United Nations from Dog Patch. Jean Rowe and David Nordby own and operate a bowling alley where Vicky Pittman is teaching Jean how not to throw the ball backwards. Dave's main interest, though, is counting the raisins in Post Raisin Bran. Sherman Lillie and Vic Pittman tell of their plans for the television show they have taken over, The Untouchables. Suddenly a jet cracks the sound barrier and screeches to a stop. Out pop Arnie Klatt and Dave Nelson, mink farmers. They announce that the kangaroos have settled for the fur-lined pouches, and the minks have escaped with their skins--at least until the next class reunion. 23
