Class Prophecy Over the loud speaker came this message: time, 9:00 'o'clock p.m., date, December 31, 1962. Plane leaving for New York at gate five. As the passengers board the plane a young stewardess greets them. She sees that they are made comfortable for the trip. Hours pass and the Statue of Liberty is soon in view. A few minutes later the stewardess asks the passengers to fasten their safety belts as they are approaching La Guardia airport. Due to the fact that the plane has been grounded for a period of twelve hours, the stewardess took a taxi to uptown New York. She walked to a garage to rent a car for the day. As she walked into the garage a tall, goodlooking man greeted her and to her surprise it was Dewey Colbert, now the owner of this large garage, one of her classmates of '52. Dewey Bill in- formed her that more of her former E. H. S. classmates also lived in New York. She made arrangements at once to see them. A few hours later our stewardess is attending a baseball game at Yankee Stadium. The New York Yankees are playing the Brooklyn Dodgers. After the game was over she went to the dugout to congratulate the winning pitcher, Eugene Green. They were talking and Eugene and his wife igvited her out to dinner, so he suggested that they go to the Stork Clu . Soft music is playing, the food is delicious and they were seated at a ring side table, because two of our former classmates, Doris Walker and Barbara Arendell are the proud owners of the club. Doris and Barbara joined them for a while, but then had to leave because some important business had come up. After they were through eating, Eugene and his wife drove the stewardess back to Dewey's garage to rent a car to drive to Newark, New Jersey. When she arrived at Newark she decided to stop and do some shopping. As she was walking along the street the stewardess met Dolores Campbell, or as it is now, Dolores Neiderhaus. She told her that she, her husband, and children were living on the outskirts of Newark. The stewardess and Dolores had some laughs about their high school days, then the stewardess parted with her and started back to the airport. When the stewardess arrived at the airport she sent Ronald Oster, another former classmate, a telegram to tell him to meet her at the air- port in Miami, Florida. The plane then left New York for Florida. After a few hours of flying they landed at Miami. After all the passengers had departed from the plane the stewardess went into the coffee shop where she was to meet Ronald. As she walked in she saw Ronald, Arlene and three wonderful children. After she had talked with them for a while she learned that they lived in a large home on the shore line, and that Ronald was now a famous painter. They insisted the stewardess go out to dinner with them, but the plane left in an hour for Lexingon, so she kindly refused. iContinued on next pageb
