CiC1SS Prophecy Ile bandagcd it and they all sat down for a nice long talk. It got to be late and so Dick, in his nice 1956 Mercury, took all of them home. They decided to meet again the next day for lunch. The next day they met in the same cafe where they had lunched the day before. After the lunch they were walking along the street when Maxine noticed a beautiful dress in the window of a dress shop. While they stood admiring it they saw Loa Dell Twedt inside decorating the window. They went inside and found Norma Knutson talking to her. They learned that Loa Dell owned the dress shop and Norma was living in Chicago. She had married the boy that she went with while we were seniors and had blond triplet boys. After this nice reunion of just about all the class they decided to meet outside the LaSalle Street Church, and attend Sunday school and church like they did when they were in high school. They met there Sunday morning. When they were all there they went inside to Sunday School. Their teacher was none other than Hortenza lleeren. That was quite a surprise to them. They were also very pleas- antly surprised to see Avis Danielson directing the :largest choir in the city. Following the services, they were requested to remain seated as there was to be an unannounced wedding. The happy bride proved to be none other than our own Lola Arneson, who upon recognizing them, invited them to attend the reception. After the happy couple had left on their honeymoon, the entire group of classmates continued to celebrate until late that evening. Since every one had to observe early rising hours, they parted in the early hours of the morning, promising to have another reunion in the near future. And so we leave our happy class, with every one having attained so early in life, his High School ambitions. 13 s ff J 5.41 .id X

Class iDI'OPi1eCy In the year 1956 A. D. a neatly dressed young woman was seen strolling down Sacramento Boulevard in Chicago when she stopped and suddenly exclaimed, NVhy, Dick Amundson, what are you doing in Chicago?,' It .took a few seconds for him to recognize his old school mate, Helen WVeidner. VVhy hello, Helen. I haven't seen you since 1946. In answer to your question of what I'm doing here-I live here. I have an orchestra of my own and am playing at the Edgewater Beach Hotel under the profes- sional name of Kay Kirkwood. But tell me what you are doing here? Well, I live here, too. I am a secretary at Marshall Field's. Have you seen any of the other kids that were in our class?,' Yes, Ruth Hanson sings with my orchestra under the name of Darlene O'Shay. Why donit you come and have lunch with Ruth and me. Oh, that would be swell. They walked into an extravagant cafe called The Brown Derby. When they entered who should they see but .lean Caruth. She was a waitress there in the Cafe. After a nice ehat over their lunch they all decided they would go roller skating. They found the best skating rink around. The name of it was, Rolling Palace of Chicago. They decided to really have some fun. Inside they found Virginia Berg who owned the rink, and Freda Ward, her skate girl. Virginia was still as tiny. They were having a swell time until Ruth fell and hurt her leg. They did not know how badly she had hurt it so they carried her to the car and drove to a doetor's office. They came up to a very nice building and on the window it said, Dr, Ryan. Of course they did not imagine it was their old classmate and wisecraeker. They found out that it was. There he stood in his white shirt. They helped Ruth into his office and he called in his nurse. It was none other than Maxine Kallem, just as short and with the same pug nose. Jim told Ruth that it was nothing more than a sprained ankle. 12
