1 Page Fourteen Senior Class Prophecy January 20, 1964 Dear Diary, On my way from New York to the 1964 Publishers' Convention in San Francisco, I de- cided to stop in Greencastle, which is now a flourishing city under the leadership of its mayor, The Honorable James K. Brewer, Hlld look up some of my old classmates. Naturally, the first place I went for news was The Campus Retreat, owned and operated by Dick Gaddis. While Dick was telling me all about the success of Harold I-Ienry's used car lot, Jalopy Junction, Bob Helmuth came in and asked if he could put up an election poster over the pinball machine. Helmuth is the new political boss of Greencastle, and he is working very hard to get Mary Ann Harsh elected president of the United States. Mary Ann, whose slogan is Never Underestimate the Power of a VVoman, divides her time betwen campaigning and hr husband, Professor Ivan R. Finfrock, the disitnguished scientist who recently discovered a method of making cigarettes from salt water and alfalfa. Her opponent, Honest Earl Leckron, is giving her a stiff fight, since he is able to get all the women's votes. His slogan is Lighten Your Life With Leckronln As I left the Campus Retreat, who should come by in a brand new atomic convertible but Mamie C Hot Stuffvj Metcalf, who has just divorced her fourth hsuband, and is now being seen at Morter's Pool Parlor with Dick Myers, wealthy gentleman farmer. She stopped, and showed me the latest copy of Peek, which had a picture of John Holbert on the cover. John has been the sensation of New York since he opened on Broadway in the musical comedy, Love 'Em and Leave 'Emf' According to the gossip columnists, he dates a different chorus girl every night, though he is supposed to be engaged to his leading lady. Mamie took me out to get a look at the new city hospital, which is run by Frances Swisher and ex-Captain Janet Phillippy, who has recently resigned from the Naval Nurse Corps. Betty Lindsay took me through the children's division, which is supervised by her and Geraldine Buchanan, and I was really impressed. Just as we were leaving, John Koons, who is painting the addition to the Zullinger house fit seems that Joanne and Tom have decided they need a larger nurseryj, came rushing up the street. He said that he'd just heard on a news broadcast over his vest pocket radio that Charles Bert's super stratospheric rocket ship had lin- ally landed on the moon after a three year voyage. We were all relieved to know that he and John Sharp, the official photographer, were safe, because the last message that had been re- ceived from him had said: Food supply nearly exhausted. Sharp has gleam in his eye and is sharpening his knife. It's lucky John could control his appetite. By this time it was getting late, so after Fighting my way past the Five o'clock rush at Binkley's Drug Store, I walked on down past Hoffman's Sports Arena and the Ziegler Dairy to the parking lot. Imagine my surprise when I saw John Bingaman polishing my car! He explained that he was doing it free to all the cars in town to get publicity for his new garage. While he finished the job, I dined at Cowan's Cafe, where the featured boogie-woogie singer was Betty Burke. Then I climbed in my car, stepped on the starter, and departed for the wide open spaces. Senior Class Will Dear Diary, I have just received a copy of the 1947 class will.
