CLASS PRGPHECY QContinued from page 195 I also hear Jim has his own dance band, n'ow in which he plays his sax, called The, Stardust Serenadersn. Hailing a cab owned by Murray Loan I went to the east side of town. On the' way I passed a book shop owned by'Russell Thompson. I Lmderstand Russ has recently written a new book entitled How to Conceal a Book In Class . Also, I passed a sign reading, Better Buy Burgies. A mile later I found that sign referred to Burgen Mellinger's Car Sales Inc. Stopping in I noticed that Georgene Barton was busily giving the customers a build-upand was busy grabbing or rather, gently took the check. Bob Price is now one of the best guides in the north woods, doing work for the Mountain-View Lodge. Going further, I came upon a frozen food locker. This reminded me of the one back home across from the school, ovmed by Lois King's grandfather. Stopping in I found it was ovmed by a King, Lois herself. In the office was Betty lVIarin writing letters like a mad fiend. Well, I don't mean fiend but she did look mad. Betty is married now but I can't remem- ber if she married the soldier, sailor, or marine. I finally came to a large family mfg. co. owned by Hancel Pritt. I remember when Hancel started out in that business, and now here he is with his own company. He told me that Jim Young was now head coach of Harvard University. Also I found that Velma Monroe was the highest paid stenographer in the co. Velma told me that Geneva Dycus and Chuck who was recently discharged from the Army are now happily married. Paddie Rech is now a commercial artist at one of the leading advertising companies of New York. Anna Hiffner is the new chief tailoress for Bob's Tailor Shop which is owned by Bob Bussey. Bob is also treasurer of the newly organized organization, Males For Hire Service . . On the billboards along the street I noticed the familiar name of Jim Ross. Seems as though the Ringling, Ross, Rob- em, and Run Circus, owned by Jim, is now in town. I see where Joyce Wylie has recently won her second year in the Miss America Contest . Carleen Ross is now head of a large speech school in New York' City, which follows the plans laid out by the Senior Dramatic School. In her spare time she makes recordings singing love ballads. CTO DICK! Me? What am I doing? Why, as soon as I spend 'a few more days here before Prof. Mileski's time machine will take me back to 1951, Pm going back to the Green Grass of Kentucky, where I am the owner of a famous horse ranch, Skyline Farms, which is the home of the fastest horses and some of the best show horses of America. Oh yes, my name is Sandra Bowers. t 20

CLASS PROPHECY What will become of our class--the one that will graduate during the years of The Great Debate? Lets see, how can Ifind that out. I know--I'll visit Professor Mileski who is chief scientist for the U. S. Mechanical Experimental Technology . Pro. Mileski, I understand you have a time machine here. May I be sent 10 years ahead? Oh, thank you. I'm ready, good bye. Bring me back in two weeks, will you? I'm falling-fa1ling--1952-54-'57459-62. I'm here. Where am I? Oh , New York City. Where will I go? What street is this? Fifth Ave. ? Guess I'll start down here and see what I can find . No sooner did I get here than I noticed a very beautiful brick building with a large carved tombstone over the door. On the tombstone were these words. Gerald Tucker, Your Neighborhood's Friendly Mortician. Remember--we are the last ones to let you down. Out of the coffin like office stepped a tr im looking young secretary, who was none other than Theo Barbour, going out to mail some advertisements for Mr. Tucker. I ask Miss Barbour if she knew where I could get in touch with some of our former classmates. She suggested I go ,see Norman Beard who is now Mayor of New York City. On the way to his- office, I passed a new type of restaurant called the Kah1er-Matic, owned and managed by Velma Kahler. She always said she wanted to work in a restaurant. I was very surprised to find Ada Trexler as Velma's pri- vate secretary. Ada says she -sends 100-150 invitations out a day for the joint--I mean place. Walking on down the street I noticed a billboard announcing the 7th appearance of the famous pianist, Phyllis Figard, playing Greig's B Major Concerto in F Minor. Might have known Phyllis would try something like that. I passed a store owned by Melvin Clark'called, Fashion For Men . Well, I finally reached Mayor Beard's office--but he wasn't in. His personal secretary Knot privatel, Helen Houser, said he was out fishing. Feeding the fish his line since everyone else was tired of it. Leaving there, I decided to Udo the town over, hunting for some of my former classmates. I passed a very ,beautiful church, and noticed on the sign that the minister was none other than the Rev. Paul Oborne. At City Hospital I found Marcia Epple as head dietitian. She was helping the patients with their diets and trying to keep on one herself, I hear. ' I was flabbergasted when I came to a very modernistic barber shop owned by Harold Climes. Above the door it read, Try Our Haircuts. You'1l be amazed too. Yeah, I remember, Harold always did have a new haircut in school. At the corner I thought I'd buy a paper and see what I could find out about the seniors in the news. I noticed that Delorse Baltrinic was editor. I always said her good writing would get her some place. On the back, in the advertising section, I saw that Ruth Ferrell, who surpassed Sonya Henji in the Olympics, was making a skating tour of the United States. ' In the birth announcements I was surprised to see that Mr. and Mrs. Danny Koontz were the proud parents of twins. lMrs. Koontz is the former Jean Herbert.J I I saw where Bill Neidert was appointed head advisor on the procedure of sports for N. Y. City Athletics. I see where Skip Dillinger is now head tester for the Patton Mattress Co.. All he has to do is to see if he can sleep comfortably on them . I remember Skip always did like to sleep. Also, Richard is still looking for the perfect girls. By this ad I see that Eddie Hiffner is now chief surgeon of the Davey Tree Expert Co. Well, I don't have any more time to read, right now. I have an appointment at the Wells CMrs. Glenn Eastj Dancing School. I walked into heroffice to find Elizabeth Durst rapidly, taking dictation from Breezy Wells . While' there I discovered that Ruth,Harris teaches jitterbugging for the dancing school. I remember that Ruth was famous for her sophisticated Swing duringschool days. Elizabeth said Dorothy Scott was working in the office of Attorney James Kolter copying deeds etc. for him, in her neat handwriting. QContinued on page 20, 19
