.xgnckorecl in im CLASS PROPHECY On December 31, 1963 while sitting in our office, looking out at the beautiful snow we decided to call on our former classmates. First we went to see Eunice Reedel, who told us about teaching Algebra to the hard learning students of Ohio. In the little village of Pine Run, we met Nancy Histand. She told us of the interesting happenings at the Bell Telephone Company. Next we went to the Clear Lake Dairy Farms, where Glenn Myers and Paul Miller were doing the evening chores. Then we stopped at the Detweiler Rug Cleaning Company, and saw Robert Detweiler instructing a large group of men in the weaving of rugs. For our next stop, we went to the Myers home. Martha was busily sewing some dresses for her little girls. Then we came to Bedminster township to see Elsie Gahman. We found her taking care of her sick sister. She is taking up nursing at Grand View Hospital. For our last stop we went to Dublin, where we saw Donald Detweiler building a ranch house for his family.
