PROPHECY It is the year 1980. The Class of 60' is gathering together for its class reunion. As we enter the Hotel Eden Prai- rie we are welcomed by an old friend and classmate, who much to our surprise is the owner of the hotel. Good After- noon, Harvey Smetana greets us, the reunion will begin at 5:30. I'll call the bell hop to carry your bags up to your suite. The bell hop, who turned out to be none other than our former classmate, Dick Hitt, led us to the elevator where we met Chris Chtistenson, who proudly told us she was the owner and operator of a wild west show. As we arrive on the fifth floor, we notice that all the doors are ajat and we see many former classmates scurrying back and forth from room to room. As we step into Room 501, we ate gteated by Dennis Pometleau, who is now employed at Eden Prairie High School as a chemistry teacher. He is explaining the theory of heap big explosions to Di Dredge, who works in a munitions factory. From across the hall we hear the faint strains of Aloha 0e . As we hurry into the room, we are not surprised to see Jeanne Doughty diligently practising her hula dance. Jeanne tells us that she is just back from the Hawaiian Islands where she is a dance instructor. What is that commotion we hear in the next room? Why, it's a crowd of our former classmates gathered around Carolyn Emerson. What is Carolyn doing? Why, she's about to begin rehearsal for her new act opening tonite at the Cha Cha Club. Carolyn has found her life's ambition fulfilled working as a bubble dancer. And there's Ellen Johnson hastily scurrying about. Ellen has continued on to fame working as a photographer for the Withy Wathy Thoap Company. Also watching is Lorin Maenke! What has he been doing all these years? Oh my goodness, Lorin's been working as a zoo keeper at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. And there's Bob Wittenberg, laden down with his familiar wares. Bob has been a Fuller Brush man for about fifteen years now. No Bob!!!...I donlt want any brooms today! Let's move on down the hall. In Room number 506 we find Janis Dimlet. Janis is studiously going over some news- paper copies. She is a proof reader for a publishing company that manufactures spelling books. With her we find Marsha Nicholson and Winnie Boyd reminiscing over old times. Marsha is working as a waitress at the Piney Grill of Upper Chanhassen, and Winnie has been busily engaged as a ballet dancer. Back out in the hall again we find Jeannie Ramus engaged in conversation with Harold Schutrop, who has turned out to be a marriage counsellor. Harold is the person that introduced Barb Geiger to her poor hen-pecked husband. Bouncem' Barb has become a lady wrestler. We hear a loud commotion down the street. Beep, beep! Looking out the window we see a policeman directing traffic. Oh no, it's Jerry Bagley. He has just stopped a 39 Model T with a huge banner on it announcing Grand Winner of 1980 National Road Race. Mary Holasek, the driver, yells up and tells us that she is the vice-president of a hot roddets club. Who is that intelligent looking gentleman riding with her? It ain't Professor Berquist, is it? Larry is Professor of English at Purdue University. Glancing ovet toward the swimming pool, we notice that the life guard looks familiar. Why it's Splash Kennedy. In her spare time, Splash gives swimming instructions at the YMCA.....WOWEE...Who is that glamot girl on the diving board? It's 1 ong Sam Sue Benson. She tells us that she used to model for Short Miss Creations .... until they found out she was bending at the knees. Glancing about we notice many of our former classmates sunning themselves beside the pool. Whose face is hidden behind the obituary column of the Eden Prairie Buzzerd? lt's Frank Smetana, who tells us he is chief mortician in a funeral home. He has a very gratifying business. Furthermore, Bitz Monson is the receptionist in his mortuary. And there's Jeff Hoffsgom conversing with Reverend Bruce Eggan. Jeff tells us that he is a reformed beat- nik. Continuing our journey to the sixth floor, we come into the business section. On the door to the first office we read Big Game Hunter---Have Safari, Will Travel . Rosey Kopesky tells us she is a big game hunter. What does she hunt... MEN. As we progress down the corridor, who should we tun into but the world teknown Sherry Baker, the beautiful movie star. As we talk to Sherry, all she can say is Daaaaaahhhhling! On the next door we see Babysitting Agency -- Diane Listbetget is the president! Knocking on the door we ask, Diane, can you take one more? She replies, Why not. Further down the hall we notice a sign on a door which reads, Flower Shop . Stepping inside we are pleased to see our old friend, Eloise Gilbert. Eloise tells us she really enjoys her job as a florist. Now the next door is a must. It's Tom Roeset's store. Tom is now the vice-ptesident of the Eden Prairie Pickle Factory. Seeing the pickles reminds us of food, which makes us realize it's suppertime. Down we go on the elevator. As we enter the main floor dining room, we are greeted by the inviting aroma of pizza. While we are devouring the delicious pizza, we learn that it was made by Jim Letold. Jim tells us that he is now the head chef at the Cafe Pizza. After this lucious snack, we as: entertained by Gordy Stodola and Sue Fisher. Gordy is currently on Broadway playing the lead in Lil' Abner ; and Sue has finally landed a part in the Student Prince . She sings the tenor lead at Radio City Music Hall. After hashing over old memories it was too soon time to depart. We all went away in amazement thinking about the accomplishments of the Class of 60 .
