Ofoofing in ,7!Le 5y51fa!Z?a! During our stroll down the Midway, we passed the tent of the fortune teller. Just for fun we stopped to see what the future held for our class. After we had crossed her palm with sil- ver, she told us to look into her crystal ball, where the following scenes passed before our eyes in rapid succession. The first thing we saw was a Naval Base where Admiral Walter Kissick was showing Wil- liam Retzer, Robert Ortmann, Frank Yaskula, Francis Churchill, and Jim Liptow how to scrub decks, while off in a corner we saw Chief Petty Officer Paul Malagari tinkering with the radio. A cloud formed in the crystal ball and we waited patiently for it to clear, wondering what would appear next. As the cloud cleared, we saw Donnie Bar- bour and Rosemarie Baculik, who met just in front of Arco's haberdashery. They waved to Vic, who was trimming the window, and then went across the street to Helm and Johnston's Dairy Store, where Beverly Miller made them an extra special banana split while they talked over old times. Father down the street we saw the twins with their four little J's, marching into Protz's Bootery to buy some shoes. Then we saw John and Peggy, the prosper- ous farmer and his wife, sitting in front of their television set. The big attraction for the evening was a program from Carnegie Hall where com- poser-conductor Lee Ray Green was about to lower his baton for the opening strains of his latest violin concerto in which Leona Kania was featured as soloist. Again a cloud formed across the crystal ball, and when it had cleared, we saw an airfield where Albert Hribik, William Stover, and George Morda were flying the latest jet jobs. We saw Betty Lou Tague, air hostess, checking her list of passengers. These included Dom Cesare, return- ing from investigating conditions of the coal min- ers in England, Richard Passmore, famous law- yer, John Falsetti, the international dancing in- structor, Gloria Capizzi and her assistant, Bernice Campbell, renowned artists, and George Tod- oroff, still trying to find a shorter way to Manor- ville. Coming in from the other direction, Pilot Dean Doverspike, and Co-pilot Gladys Marie Sipe made a smooth landing. While mechanics James Waugaman, James Tomaswick, and Richard Kar- abin were checking the motor, several passengers prepared for the take-off. Edward Germy, mis- sionary, was going to the coast on the first lap of his journey to the mission field in Africa, Miss Joan Gowetski was going to inspect one of her famous news stores, Privates Richard Hand, Karl Stollenwerk, Joe Hagofsky, David Patsue, and Stanley Wilson were returning to their base after their leaves. After seeing these scenes, we waited anx- iously for some that would tell us what had hap- pened tothe other members of the class. We did not wait long, however, for soon the ball cleared and this is what we saw: ln Maw Harriger Umny's Cafeteria, just off the campus of a well-known college, we saw Professor William Turicik dining with his secre- tary and assistant, Doris Priester. At one end of the cafeteria Coach Val Woyton and his star foot- ball players, Kenneth Lettrich and Walter Crytzer, were grabbing a nutritious lunch while talking over new plays. Over in a far corner we saw student Earl Cooper still trying to figure out his solid problems, and there was Grant Daugherty covering another tablecloth with one of his orig- inal cartoons. Leaving the cafeteria, we peeked into the dean's office and saw Helen Coleman

Next the crystal ball took us to a farm show in a state capitol. There Edward Lunz, Robert Hileman, and Robert Davis, now prosperous farmers, met Doris Hindes, as they were looking over the various exhibits. Verle Coleman was proudly exhibiting his famous Poland China pigs. Chief electrician for the show was John Varholla. Again a cloud formed over the crystal ball and when it had cleared, we were surprised tc see a big city hospital in which Dr. Joseph Krukar was preparing to perform an important opera- tion on the famous newspaper columnist, John Rudosky. Assisting at the operation were nurses Joan Carberry, Hope Arnold, and Mary Catherine Rich. Recovering from an attack of ennui was Charles Hutchison, while Bob Maus was there for observation. ln another part of the hos- pital Dr. Gariglio had iust finished extracting a tooth for big leaguer Paul Klacha. Waiting pa- tiently in his outer office was Anabel McJunkin to see him about some of her charity cases. Next we saw a galaxy of famous radio stars putting on a program for the Teachers' Old Age Benefit. Bill Roberts as announcer, introduced singers Lois Jane Malc, Patty Anne McMeans, Marlene McCarthy, Gerard Slagle, and Dick Duff, comedian, B. B. Valekg and lecturer, Jack Reitler. Photographer Bill Lucian was on hand to photo- graph the many celebrities. The scene shifted to a lodge in the moun- tains where foresters Angelo Scopel and James Novak were discussing Christmas tree raising with Henry Dietz. Guests at the lodge for the week-end were the famous sportsmen, Howard Zerick and Bill Jansen. Ben Cook, James Mor- vick, and Joe Kiiowski were out hunting bear. James K. Bowser and Franklin King were exhib- iting their trophy, a 12 point buck. At Donald Roberts' grocery store we saw Vera Carney and Joan Jageman, now married, discussing their little girls' progress in kinder- garten with the teacher, Esther Blondeaux. Next door in Mechling's Feed Store, George Fitzgerald and Richard Clever were buying feed for their farm animals. Georgia Lou Cassel and Peggy Edwards were buying their fruit at Goldinger's fruit market. At the movie owned and operated by the Cippel-Gross-Gribik chain, Delores Czapor, Frankie Jean Hepler, and Honey Kiiowski were having a bubble gum cracking contest. ln an- other part of the theater Min Duff was complain- ing to Nancy Goldman about having too many of her father's shirts to iron. Betty Kendra and Chuckie were holding hands in the front row. Joe Bureau had just called Bingo for the third time in a row. The picture for the evening fea- tured the sultry-voiced June Tolliver. Another glance into the crystal ball showed us Irene Yount's Beauty Parlor, where Margie Dunmire, secretary to a prominent business man, was gossiping with Rose Morvik and Louise Good. lrene's assistant, Helen Szalankiewicz, was work- ing on their hair. At the church on the corner a wedding party was coming out. The bride, Lorraine Thiry, was attended by Virginia Walker. The minister who had performed the ceremony was Pat Fester's husband. The final scene showed Charlaine Schwab and Lila Lee Lhote, each in her own home by now, wondering if things had turned out as they had seen them in the crystal ball.
