Class Prophecy It was the year 1975. I was starting on my trip to Hong Kong, China, to meet my husband, who was foreman of a construction project there. As I boarded the El Paso Special, Larry McWilliams, the engineer, waved at me. As Richard Bohrer, the conductor, showed me to my seat, he inquired about my husband and asked when we would return home. When the train pulled into Chicago, I knew I would have to hurry to catch my plane. I hailed a taxi and to my surprise Jerry Williams was in the driver's seat. As we brought each other up to date on our lives since graduation, we heard a siren. Realizing it was for us, we pulled over to the curb;.and immediately Jerry recognized the patrolman as Bob Aucutt. After receiving a traffic ticket, we rushed on to the airport. Connie Greene, the stewardess, greeted me when I boarded the plane. After the plane got into the air, Connie sat with me; and we started to recall old times. When not attending passengers, she told me that Linda Schroeder was chief cook at the airport commissary. We were forced to land in Indianapolis because of bad weather. After learning that I would have to spend the night there, I proceeded to the Hotel Indianapolis. The door was opened for me by none other than doorman Jimmy Weber. Since he was going off duty, we sat in the lobby and talked. He told me that Dave Franklin was head barber of the hotel, and that Rohn Abbott was the general manager. I then brought him up to date on the doings of some of our old classmates in and around El Paso. I told him about Larry Stoller's International Grand Champion steer that had sold for $40 a pound in gold. I mentioned also that there was a new dance studio in town called Jack and Sharon's . Just then Luan Corrigan, Paris correspondent for the Indianapolis News, walked in. She had received a telegram saying that Lynda Graack had just been promoted to head of the New York Welfare Organization. When Luan asked about Barb Stauter, I told her Barb was head nurse at the El Paso General Hospital where, just before my departure, Nancy Edwards gave birth to a set of twin girls. There was a standing joke between Judy Wagner, Janet McClure, and her about who would have the largest family. The next day when the weather cleared, our plane took off for New York. I had a one night stop-over before the ship left for Paris. I checked in at the Waldrof and decided to eat dinner and take in a floor show. Upon entering the dining room, I saw Helen Famey as cigarette girl. After talking to her, I returned to my room. I picked up the newspaper, and Lynn Graack's name was in the headlines. He had just been voted Auto Designer of the Year. As I read on further, 1 saw Tom Lewis, a prominent attorney, had just won an important case; and Bob Riker had been elected Speaker of the House. I saw that the illustration in the special book section were done by Kay Jakob, and the love-lorn column was written by Shari Thorndyke, I noticed in the sports section that A1 La Rochelle's underdog team had won the state championship. The next morning as I walked up the gangplank of the ship, Gary Bell, the ship's captain, greeted me. Looking at the ship's directory, I noticed that Darlene Whiskers was the teacher, Pat Wallace was the ship’s nurse, and Henry Armstrong was the navigator. After a pleasant voyage, I arrived in France. I had my hair done in Paris by Virginia Hartman. She told me that Sharon Hunsinger was a secretary to an Air Force general stationed somewhere in France. Later when I arrived at the hotel, a copy of an el Paso paper was waiting for me. While skimming through it, I noticed Kenny Hartman, a mechanical engineer, was home for a visit; Mary Ann Williams, sports car racer, was also home for a visit; Bonnie Toole's chickens had won first prize in the poultry division at the cointy fair; Loren Armstrong and Glen Garrels had been awarded an exclusive dealership by General Motors for the El Paso area; Pat Bagby had been named Housewife of the Month; and word had been received that Rita Reeves hadwon the championship of the nation's new craze, The Talk-a-Thon . I noticed an advertisement for Sandy Beoletto's Spaghetti-Ette . Gilbert Armstrong had invented a new pill, Cheap Sleep and had received a patent for it. Judy Diener had opened a Private Eye Investigation Bureau. Her first case was to find out who had stolen fishing supplies from John Reel’s Rod and Reel Store. There was an article on Nancy Burton, the new night club singer, who was making her successful debut in Las Vegas where Henry Sprehe, the oil tycoon and rancher from Alaska, had ;truck the jackpot at the Double-Dice Gambling House. That afternoon, 1 took a walk before catching my plane for Hong Kong. As I walked past a photographer's shop, I saw a picture of Judy Rippel. Upon inquiring about her, I learned that she was a model for perfume advertisements. I still had a few hours before my plane left, so I stopped at Diors to see Carol Bell and purchase one of her creations. When I came out of the shop, I bumped into Ronnie Steffen. In my conversation with him, I learned that he was an architect, and he told me thatTom O'Leary was putting the spark in the spark-plugs for General Motors. I had to hurry off to catch my plane in twenty minutes. My husband was waiting for me when I arrived in Hong Kong. After freshening up at my hotel, I visited Karen Maier, who was teaching at a missionary school. Karen had a letter from Sandy Kimpler saying that she was now well established in the San Francisco Pet Clinic as head veterinarian. She also mentioned that Jeri Jones was the wife of a research chemist and that on the side she was making I. D. bracelets for twins. Eleanor Reinhardt had just purchased a dude ranch in Oklahoma and was growing mistletoe as a hobby. After the completion of the construction project, my hisband and I headed back for good Ole El Paso, Illinois.
