CLASS PRUPHECY Home, at last! From a beautiful trip abroad, GAEL KNAUER, a fashion designer, and I. ANN OTTERPOHL, an interior decorator, have just arrived in the United States from a business and pleasure trip to Paris, France. We decided to stay in New York City for a couple of days before returning to complete the work on our projects that we have been studying while in France. As we were slowly making our way up Broadway, we noticed one theater in particular, the thing that caught our eye was a large picture of-THOR HANSON, the famous Scandinavian tenor! Not only is he a world famous singer, but one of our own classmates from E.R.H.S. Well, you can imagine our suprise when we bumped into SANDY BLOOM. She told us she was touring the country with the Guiseppe Opera Co. as Carmen. She immediately invited us to the Waldorf for lunch and you just can't imagine who owns it now-GORDON HIORT, of all people. Gordie greeted us very cordially and said he had a wonderful surprise for us. BOB IOHNSON and DALE HILL were staying at the hotel with their orchestra enroute to France. GAIL EASTMAN is a well known Hatcheck Girl at Gordon's club. Well, about this time, we decided it would be wonderful to have a reunion right there in Gordie's hotel. Sandy said she would get hold Of the rest Of the alums and We WOUIC1 plan the reunion for that night. As we were planning the banquet, someone noticed the Beulah show on the television set. We looked, and we looked again and sure enough it was CATHERINE BECRAFT. As we watched her, it brought back nostalgic memories of our Senior Class Play in Eagle River back in '54, Then the program was over, and another familiar face materialized. Why, of course, it was Reverend LORY DERRICK, head of the First Presbyterian church, with his coast to coast tele- vision program Let's Live. His speaking voice held us spellbound for many moments, but we tore ourselves away long enough to get ready for the reunion. As the hands of the clock slowly approached the awaited hour, we grew more and more anxious at the thoughts of seeing our old friends. The din- ing room was magnificently decorated with red and blue and masses of gardenias arranged by VIR- GINIA BYINGTON and helper BOB CASEY of the floral shop. On one of the walls was a life- size picture of the football squad from back in '54. Seems to us, we had a championship team that year, too. On another was a huge stairway curving upwards to a great cloud sprinkled with stars- Remember now-that was our junior prom theme. The guests began to arrive, and we greeted them. We learned what each of them has been doing in the past ten years. To start off, HELENE IOHN- SON-remember-her father used to be the coach at ERHS-just returned from Spain-she has been doing exceptional work as a foreign correspondent. Next comes FRANCIS CARLSON and RICHARD INBERG, the Great White Hunters, they are leaving for the wilds of deep dark Africa in another week in search of the Kie Kie Bird. ELIZABETH HOECKER, known to us as Sue, is a famous ballerina, appearing in Band Cart. WAYNE HESSEN walked in with a beautiful blonde -by the Way, She'S his Wife, and Cl06Sl'1,t mind 3 bit that her husband runs a modeling agency. ERIC and DAVE--members of the HEDBERG clan arrived, and told us that Eric is Police Commissioner and he is very rough on teenage drivers, and cousin Dave is the head of the CIO and AFL. Next was our old friend MORGAN HAYNER, who looked very distinguished. We found out that Mor- gan is the President of Schenley's, Inc. EUGENE OLSON, HARRY SCI-IMIDT, and ROGER STOECKMAN are making their appearance as they are on their way to climb Mt. Everest- to the top of the world. Guess what? CHARLES QUINN is the guest soloist at Metropolitan Opera, singing in the purest of all bass voices. Oh, Charlie-The world's most famous beautician just walked
