CLASS PROPHECY Chicago, 111. June 1, 1957 Dear Diary, While shopping in Marshall Field ' s Store today, I accidently got lost and found myself wandering through the in- fant ' s department. There, to my surprise, stood Mr. and Mrs. Ed Zacek [the former Lois Hoffman], two of my old classmates of 1947. While talking things over, Ed told me that he has sole proprietorship of the new Skyrocket Elevated Train Sys- tem in the Chicago City Limits. In the middle of all the excitement on Parnell Avenue, I saw the big red fire engine pull to a halt in front of a flaming home. I, trying to find out all I could about the fire, found the fire chief to be Richard Kelly. I looked across the way and who do you think was standing there on the porch of a modern home????? It was Mr. and Mrs. Lee Schwanke [the former Mar- garet Schoonveld], Lee is working on the new subway. That was enough surprises for one day, and believe me, I enjoyed all of them. June 3, 1957 Dear Diary, The boss gave me a new assignment which is taking me to New York. While peacefully reading my maga- zine on the train, the familiar words of Tickets, tickets, have your tickets ready! came expectedly from the conductor. I looked up into his face as I gave him my ticket, and to my astonishment, he was none other than Don Chappell. When looking for the dining car, I had to pass through the private car of the famous Madame Gwendolyn Belstra ' s Or- chestra. The Madame informed me that she features Doris Mak as her first violin- ist. She also told me that they were start- ing an engagement in Madison Square Garden the first of next month. New York, N. Y. June 4, 1957 Dear Diary, After the performance of the Ice Follies, I went backstage to interview the stars, Connie and Bonnie Vandersnoozen. To my surprise I found them to be Mary and Margaret Curtin of DeMotte. They are now on a nation wide tour.
