PROPHECY The citizens of San Juan, Mexico, little realized that, for one day at least, their fair city would lose its official title as the sleepiest town in Mexico. For, on an eventful day in June, 1965, it was to be invaded, not by visitors from another world, but by Dayton's Class of '55, Official host and hostess, Senor Baker and Senor Leek, anxiously awaited the arrival of their former students. Harold Adams, Class President, was also on hand to act as Master of Ceremonies and Chairman of the Reception Committee. News coverage of the great event was to be handled by the renowned reporters, Evelyn Shirey of the Salem Gazette, and Sue Erickson of the Smicksburg Times. Punctual as all good engineers should be, Ronald Lewis and Jo Ann Sharp arrived in time to watch an approaching plane make a perfect landing, although its stewardesses, Pat Cornman and Stella Bashline, were prepared for the worst. Of course, the fact that Don Calhoun was piloting the plane for the first time had nothing to do with their preparations for an emergency. Passengers on the plane were Nancy Copenhaver, a new bride complete with old shoes and rice, and Shirley McIn- tire, an already experienced housewife who just didn't have time to hire a baby sitter. The gala fiesta was well under way. Suddenly the group recognized several other classmates waving wildly from the windows of a sightseeing bus. Vacationing secretaries Shirley Simmers, Helen Kammerdiener, and Shirley Dov- erspike were talking excitedly about their guided tour of a large ranch in Texas which was oper- ated by Warren Brothers and his faithful assistants, Carl Shirey and Tom Anderson. Without too much coaxing, the girls were able to talk the cow pokes into joining them. We soon discovered that Homer Rupp's cowboying ability had been put to good use, and he arrived in a cloud of dust followed by his fellow gauchos, George Porter, Carl Schreckengost, and Ralph Petras. Senoritas Pat Barnett, Peggy Lockhart, and Florence Oliver were the expert cooks especially imported from Barnett's Restaurant to serve the tasty tamales for the class. Senorita Violet Sell could be seen using every mischievous trick she had learned at DJHS, trying to awaken Senor Leo Woodford. Leo, although surrounded by confusion, was taking his usual afternoon siesta under a nearby cactus, sombrero over eyes, completely unaware of the fabu- lous Mexican Hat Dance being executed by Kathleen Reedy and her partner Lee Snyder. The Mambo Combo was under the direction of Don Pedro Phillippi Alcorn and featured the rhythmic ramblings of Senorita Irene Lolita Barrett, Senor Pancho Paul Shick, and Senor Carlos Harold Barrett. Shirley Yarger, an accomplished fashion authority, who had taken time from her busy schedule to visit with the class, was the next to arrive. Avonelle Galbraith, the wife of the local missionary, called to our attention an approaching burro led by Paul Rumbaugh and ridden by jockey Richard Perry. Marlene Lightner, a noted author, had decided by this time that our merry fiesta didn't provide the right atmosphere for her latest book, so she put away her notebook and settled back to enjoy herself. The main event of the afternoon, a bull fight, was the only thing that could tear artist Burnell Shaffer away from his easel. Ken Sloniger was still proving his athletic ability for he was the brave matador who was to pit his skill against the belligerent bull. He could have accomplished nothing, however, without the able assistance of the picadors, Wayne Baum, Dale Aden, and Blair Schawl. Jim Shick and John Bish were circulating among the crowd, doing a thriving business selling tamales, Mexican jumping beans, and pop corn. The last members of the Class of l55 to arrive were sailors, Regis Schultz, Jim Preteroti, and Bob Galbraith, who were on the last lap of their live-day leave. After the most exciting fiesta ever held in the town of San Juan, the yawning natives drowsily settled back for their siestas, very willing to regain their coveted title. And so to sleep! 26
