C Class Prophecy 1 n In the summer of 1970 the class of 1945 of Galatia High School decided to have a reunion, thinking it would be very interesting to see how far the class members had scattered in 25 years. Some fame from almost around the globe to attend. At the air port who should step out of the plane but the former class president, Red Maple, with thinning locks and a streak or two of grey but gay as ever. He, after an honorable discharge from the Navy at the close of the war, had gone into Air Express business in Central America and it was rumored that he, still interested in athletics, owned a' large interest in a ball club there. Hardly had that greeting been given till a helicopter settled and out came Major Dale Bond who had continued in the air service all these many years. He was accompanied by his Spanish looking wife. Their home 'was in Texas. Someone overheard Dr. George Crawford say to them, Hello, Bond!! Sure glad you could come. Then turning to the others. Dr. Crawford explained. When Major and Mrs. Bond dropped in on us last week end, they feared they couldn't come. Major Bond brought some mosquitoes for my research work. Dr. Crawford has a huge research laboratory in South America. He has helped to make Central Brazil more livable for the white man. A stunning woman walked up and we rubbed our eyes and looked again. Such Parisian clothes and hair dress!! It was Edna Devine-now the wife of a French importer. She had for many years been internationally known for her interior decorations and maintained her studios in New York. We finally closed our gaping mouths, when she called out- Well kids, say something! ! ! We all laughed at the familiar phrase and expected an introduction to the two men following, but on closer view we recognizd Billy Ray Tate, who had piloted the plane in which they came. and Raymond lordan, who was the mechanic. ' Tate and lordan owned a commerical hangar with 25 planes in which they taxied passengers anywhere in the states. They lived in Brooklyn. Wayman Garner, an engineer, in Yukon. told how they had brought his gold out on dog sleds. He had traveled by train, auto, boat. and finally by plane to attend the reunion. The spectacled Professor, Dr. James Lester Golliher, L.D.D., Ph. D. with a small goatee and cane. strolled up. He was still able to talk. CContinued on next pagej rfiifjiiirif f. fl-..
