SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Last night I dreamed that and I was making a trip to see then I had to travel quite far distance away I dreamed that I began ny L it was 1983, twenty five years from now, all of my classmates of 1955 Some of to see, and others were just a short trip right here in Edgewood First I went to see Wayne Thurn, then ouis Rowell Wayne and his wife, the former Annadell Nanke, lived on a farm northeast of Edgewood Annadell told me that since they had so many little Thurns, they had to trade their Ford sedan for a Ford tation wagon When I came to Louis Rowell's farn, I was very surprised All there was on the farm was a shack for a house, a broken down barn, and a 'MB Ford Louis explained to ne that he had fallen into poverty, when he started a reducing plan that added pounds instead of tak' v a My next stop was at Greeley where Charles Col Ins was runnlng a brewery After he discovered he couldn't hide all he wanted to make on a still at home, he decided to do it legally and in the open Charles was slowly becoming rich by selling to all his friends At Guttenburg I found Vayla Kramer, the girl who was once going steady with two bovs at the same time, searching the beaches for a man in a sleeping bag whom she stumbled over one night As I was traveling through Thorp on my way to Manchester, I found a small circus that featured Regina Vaske as its leading lady She was the fat lady Regina told me that while she was younger she had taken so many pills that she now weighed S80 pounds When I arrived in Manchester I founa that Joan Elliot, now Mrs Gary Hartbeck, lived in a brand new house Joan explained that she always did like Gary, so after Ronnie left for the service, she and Gary started r1d1ng to work at Manchester together After about a year of riding together they decided it would be cheaper to get married and build a new hore in Manchester St Luke's at Cedar Rapids was my next stop Verona Sherman was still employed by this hospital It seems she had been successful as a nurse, but not successful at landing Charles Collins, so she settled for an intern of similar qualities Now I dreamed that I had to leave the state of Iowa and go to Missouri to see Robert Everett sing on Ozark Jubilee Bob had a long string of girl admirers, but he brushed them aside and said, I still plan on marrying Evelyn Elledge, when I get Elvis's top rank N My destinations were getting farther apart now and I had to travel by train to Chicago where Pat and Howard Hansel were running a dancing school Pat and Howard agreed that they had been considering it ever since the Jr Sr Banquet when Howard proved to be such a good dancer From Chicago I went to New York to s Rob t M ca led umalk all the Time He holds a tglkjngegecog egnoghfsprogram program which no one has broken for three years when I talked to Bob, he said I proably wouldn't get to see Robert Timmerman because he goes from town to town selling medecine to make you grow tall Bob Maier said that the last tine he had seen Bob Timmernan he was six and one half feet tall Bob also told me I wouldn't get to see Nancy Lewis either Nancy was traveling with the Harlem Globetrotters and was fast becoming one of their star players I dreaned that by airplane I went to Germany to see Mardell Greve and to get some of the sleeves out of vests that she was giving away free. Mardell decided the United States was no olace for her after she and Larrv broke up so she went to Germany to live with ner slster. James Cole tried out for major league baseball but didn't make it. He then 1oined a girls' softball team that toured Russia. While on thi trip, he became so involved in Communism that he took out naturalization papers. So my next journey was to the Kremlin to see Jim in his new offic he Marines had sent Ronald Fousek to the Hawiian Islands, so that was my next stop. Upon my arrival I found that Ronnie had become infatuated with a cute, little Hawiian girl who was now his wife. She and Ronnie were now making grass skirts to send to the United States. 34 L - O .
