19 LAUREL 40 ♦ ♦ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ♦ ♦ Howard Taylor and Bud Miller, wealthy stock brokers, were on a chartered airplane flown by Leo Aber and John Shambow on their way to Rock Dam to see the head engineer, Raymond Riley. “Our sputtering engine warned us that we had to make a forced landing. As our pilot, Leo Aber, climbed out of the plane, he noticed bow-legged Smith, whom he recognized as an old friend, coming across the field. Smith invited us all to stay at his farm while the plane was being repaired. “In the evening we decided to take a walk around the town of Coquille and see how it had changed since we had left it twenty years ago. The first thing that took our eyes was an old school-mate of ours, Dova Gilman, and her fourth husband, Marvin Goodman. Talking to them, they told us that they had just arrived home from Hawaii where they had spent their honeymoon, and we were astonished to hear that Bill Ray was owner and manager of the Hotel Wa Ka Kee. They invited us to join them, so we all went up the street to the “Happy Helen,” a swanky new theatre restaurant owned by Helen Kyle. We received excellent service and we met two lovely waitresses and hat clerk girls who reminded us of their mothers, Flora Ellen Wise and Jeannette Wheeler. One of these girls told us that her father, Robert Arnold, was a Coco Cola fiend and not very long ago had died from excessive use of the strong drink. His body was found two days after his death under a booth of the Top Notch Confectionery by the proprietor, Emerick Hultin, and his wife, Eunice Howe. They also told us of a lad, Ted Schaer, who had finally after all these years, gotten courage enough to ask Shirley to marry him. The wedding took place at the Methodist Church, and was performed by the Reverend Dee Krantz. “It began to get late, so more for curiosity’s sake than anything else, we stepped into the “Midnight Follies.” The girl on the end looked very familiar to us, so we asked Don Wheaton, who was sitting next to us and he said, “Oh! you mean that little number with the baby blue eyes ? Why, that’s the daughter of the news commentator, Gretchen Clinton, and do you see that girl in the severe tailored suit? She’s the hit of the season among society’s “400.” Her former name was Corene Kollar but now she goes by the name of Mrs. John Williams. Her husband is president of the Williams and Knox Bologna Factory. “After the show we loitered along Fifth Avenue, looking in the shop windows, and saw Dick Avery coming to a sudden stop in front of the Duncanson Emergency Hospital. He told us he was taking Nancy Sonneland and Josephine Canterbury to have a few squeaks taken out of them. Also, Jerry Davis was slowly dying of leakage of the heart. We continued to talk to him and found out that his wife, Jeanne Claterbos, had left him many years ago and had stayed four years in the Cannibal Islands as missionary but for the last six years she had been converting Hula Hulas in Hawaii. “After bidding adeiu to all our friends we started for the St. Vincent Hotel, managed by Bill Vincent, and his charming wife, the former Alvah Turner. The building was now being redecorated and Mary Jane Dunn, interior decorator, was assisted by Frankie Edgmon and Edith Drake. “Upon entering the dining room, the waiter seated us at a table next to a dinner party of four, presumably two men and their wives. As they talked to us it dawned on us that it was our friend Joy Norton and her husband, Earl Allen Trejbal, Earl of Cabbage Grove. She introduced us to her friend Catherine Schroeder and her husband, Richard Loop, who now owns the Dish Water Estate. As we sat there listening to Wendy Goodwin and his orchestra, the queen of the season, Venita Farris, stepped through the curtains and sang, “The Gaulke Serenade.” The lyrics for the song were written by our great compooser of popular music. Arden Lee Harrah. He is known the world over for his new hits, “The Landaker Stomp,” and the “Red Devil Prance” from Fuhrman’s musical hit, “BROADWAY MELODIEE OF 1960.” After hearing Wendy’s theme song we left the hotel and started up the street. Suddenly we heard a familiar voice call out to us. Who was it? Why, we couldn’t place the voice until he pointed out his place of business which was a large Bakery. Dan Cardwell told us
