Class Prophecy . . . Owwww!! This aching tooth! For nine months I’ve put up with this miserable tiling. I guess I'll make a trip to the dentist, since I’m new in this city I think I’ll look in the directory and find one who is noted for his extractions. Oh gee! I’ll just pick one at random, let’s see. A-B-C-D—L-M, M sounds pretty good, just in the middle of the alphebet. Matzinger it is! Adams 1-500 please, hello, is this Dr. Matzinger’s office ?—Do you have an open appointment for this afternoon— 1:30—thank you. The aching hours seemed to drag by. I thought one o’clock would never come, at last! The fatal hour came and I was on my way. Walking into the street, I hailed a cab. Low and behold, but who should be driving the call—none other than Junior Estel. Better known in school as “Spike.” I remembered back in school, what great ability he had at driving a car. and know he would use this ability to the best of his knowledge. Our conversation led to many surprising events, especially the marriage of Ivan Kigar. better known as “Ike. I found that he owned a large dairy farm near Delta and was very happy. This brought our conversation to a close, for we were at our destination. Saving good-by, we parted. I entered the building, my tooth aching more than ever. Upon entering the elevator who should I find as operator of the elevator but Stanley Hilton. We remembered him in public speaking as wanting to have such an occupation. Our talk was very limited since the office was only on the fourth floor. I strolled casually over to the door marked — Dr. Matzinger, Dentist, Donald Snyder, assistant. Don Snyder! That name sounded familiar. Remembering back in ’16 we remember Don as being called “Doc. We see that he has put his nick- name to work. 1 was greeted by an attractive receptionist. Seeing her reminded me of Fulton. W hy sure enough! It was Golda Naveau. I had a 15 minute wait, which I spent talking to Golda. Finally it was my turn in the chair. 1 was glad it was one of my old schoolmates that was going to assist with the extraction, also giving the gas. I sat in the chair, talking over obi times with Golda, when the gas took effect. As I went off to dreamland, the vision of the past came back to me. Sweet music sounded in my cars. I listened and listened, it rose lounder and louder. It came from Carnegie Hall. The great piano soloist of the evening was none other than the talented Eulaine Lau. We remembered her back at Fulton as the accompanist of the glee clubs.

Class Prophecy We waited for her at the stage door. The crowd outside was enormous. Vie finally caught her eye. and she recognizing us came forward with a friendly greeting of welcome. We sat in the dressing room talking about her twin Duane. She told us he was living on a huge farm near Akron. Our memory went back to ’46 remembering him as a great agricultural student. Everything on his farm was run by electricity. It was Eulaine’s cue, so we left her, congratulating her on her success in life. We walked down 45th street when our eyes met a great billboard. On it was a picture of a basketball star. Since I was interested in sports. I went closer, and stopped dead in my tracks, for the advertisment was of the great high point man of Ai. Bill Gorey! It seemed he was high point man of Columbia University, of New York, also. We hailed a taxi and headed for Madison Square Gardens, for that was where the game between C. U. and the University of Michigan was to be held. Securing our tickets we were seated in a box seat. We asked the usher to lake a note to the famed Bill Gorey, asking to see him after the game. The game was won by C. U., with Gorey as high point man as usual. He really put in some nice “hook shots.” I chatted with Bill for quite a while. He told us that two of his old classmates. Sue Mizer and Bernadine Krieger were working as stenographers for the great John D. Rockerfeller. Jr. Sue, as we re- call. was one of the best typists at Fulton, while Bernadine excelled in her ability to write compositions. Between the two of them, they kept his business on top. He also told me that they were sharing an apartment, and getting along fine, the only thing which was different from their school life was the fact that they were riding on busses instead of in Bernadine’s car. Since my time was limited we said ‘'farewell to Bill and went once again into the street. A'cab was waiting. I entered and told the cabby” to hurry. As you know, haste makes waste. I ended up in the hospital, with Doris Elton standing over me. Seeing her made me feel much better. She bounced the pillow, making it more comfortable for me. as she was used to doing this. Her experience as nurses aid. while she was still in high school made her much more experienced. Doris told me that Virginia Hartbarger was also working there as receptionist. Later that evening Virginia came in to visit with me. She was still the demure girl she was in high school. Her politeness and poise, made her a fitting example for this job. By bed began to whirl, my brain was cloudy, my eyes played tricks on me. As my vision began to clear. I found myself sitting in the dentist chair and not lying in a hospital bed. And it was Golda standing beside me. and not Virginia. As I walked out into the fresh air my dizziness left me. but not the memories of the students of ’46 at good old Fulton High.
