CLASS PROPHECY I wasworking as floor nurse at Mercy Hospital when I received a letter from an old classmate of mine, Norma Ruth Brown, inviting me to her new million dollar home for a weekend. It seems she had married some rich guy who died leaving her his fortune. I immediately accepted her invitation. Leaving my boarding house Friday evening, I saw a big moving van stop in front of the build- ing. In it were Doug Grubb and Tom Frye. They had bought a big trucking business. I hailed a taxi to the airport where I found Marilyn Everette working in the dining room. She informed me that Nancy Foster, who married just after graduation, had twin boys. I took a newspaper and a magazine with me to the plane, on which Gloria Miller was working as a stewardess. After we were in the air I glanced at the newspa per and on the front page was a picture of Jerry Call, who had invented a motorless automobile. I always wondered what the results of his reading all those hot-rod magazines in Mrs. Hick's Class would be. ln the comic section was a strip by Howard Phelps, intitled l'll Never Grow Up , starring Imogene, Little Orphan Annies' third cousin, and an article about another of the class of '55, Ralph Graves, who bought a big ranch in Arizona and had his brother farming for him. I then began glancing through the magazine and found an advertisement headed McCulloughs Filling Station. Working For Delano were Norman Bowers and Delano Spillman. Then I saw a picture of a new Cadillac designed by Paul Tokarz. When I got off the plane, someone tapped me on the shoulder and there was our Ole' class president, Bob Cook. He was invited to Norma Ruth's also. On the way there Bob said he had bought a drive-in diner and had Jeanette Beck cooking for him. No wonder he stopped working for his dad at Hilltop. When we arrived at Norma Ruth's we saw Johnny Williams and his wife, the former Glenda liames. Also present was Walt Head, who owned a big clothing store in New York. Shelby Spry and Colene Wagner were there also and were operating a chain of beauty salons in Washington. That night we went to an expensive looking club called The High Hat. Joe Swicegood owned it and Shelby Nail was working as hat check girl. When the floor show started, I was startled to find out that Irene Barnes was the club's vocal- ist. My biggest surprise came toward the close of the show, when a group called the Sta rrets appeared. Their star vocalist was none other than our own Soak Spry. Hearing from my classmates made the week-end my most enioyable one since I left C .H.S. in '55. BARBARA SAIN, Prophetess
