Class Prophecy The year—1980; the place—on an airplane just leaving a New York Airport. I, SUSIE WORKMAN stewardess, had just finished making my passengers comfortable and had sat down to read the moming issue of 'The New York Times. The headlines were pleasing to the eye for they were: MONTY HARRELL, President of the United Nations, Announces that World Peace Has Finally Been Achieved. To celebrate this joyous event, the President of the United States, NEIL SCOTT, and the first lady, PEGGY DAVIS, are going to their country farm at Columbia, North Carolina. It seems that MICKEY BRUNER, the Sales Manager of the President's Sporting Goods Factory, will serve as caddy for the President's game of golf with BERTRAM DAVENPORT, Chief Engineer of space ships for Project X, which will explore Pluto. The article states, as] read further, that IRIS SNELL, Secretary of the Treasury and also tutor of the President's children, will remain in D. C. with the children. The President announced at this time that he will undergo his quarterly check-up after his retum to the capitol, if his personal physician, JOAN RHODES, retums from the Andes with her mil- Nionaire husband, AUBREY BRICKHOUSE, who is looking for new oil prospects there. As I turn to page IV, I find ROBERT CARTWRIGHT, Editor-in-Chief of this paper, blasting the Scott Adminstration for its Compulsory Space Insurance Act. As I am about to read further, 1 am interrupted by the plane's captain, FRANKIE BRICKHOUSE, who wants a cup of coffee. As I return from the cockpit, I run into one of the passengers. whom I immediately recognize as GENE COMBS, a confirmed bachelor, whose work is Model Photography. As we sit down to reminisce, he surprises me by having me meet two of his models, ROSALIE MIZELL and GLADYS HASSELL, who were also members of the Class of '60. Rosalie tells me that three members have become famous in the entertainment field. It seems that BETTY NORMAN, GLORIA ARMSTRONG, and GAY ROUGHTON, who are now known as the Gay-Lue Trio, are fast replacing the still-famous re - cordings of the McQuire Sisters. Gladys informed me that RITA WARD had the audience of The LARRY GREEN Show, which replaced the Ed Sullivan Show, rolling in the aisles with her comedy act, ''The Wildest of the Beatniks. As Gene thumbs through his issue of 'The New York Times to show mea picture of his models, he callsto my atten- tion an advertise ment run by NORMAN VANHORNE, president of New York City Motors. The advertisement reads,'For the best overhauling job available in the United States today visit us and have the job done under the supervision of chief mechanic, BOBBY VOLIVA. As Gene throws down the paper, a picture of GORDON DEAVER, coach of the New York Knickerbockers, turns up. Opposite it is a headline which reads, JUNIOR TARKINGTON, pitcher of a shut-out game for the New York Yankees last year signed a contract for the 1981 season for $250, 000. As we land at the Hollywood Airport, we all plan to go | out for the evening at RUTH SELBY'S Night Club Tropicana. That night at the Tropicana, Mrs. Vanhorme, who is now president of Vanhorne Productions, was sitting at a table Opposite us. Upon seeing us, she came over to talk with us about how she had achieved her fame through her academy- award-winning movie, starring Kathy and Craig Brickhouse. After discussing how the 1960 COLUMBIAN won the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for good literature, we all toasted, May the golden memories of C. H. S. live with us forever.
