-Class Prophecy TIME: Ten years from now ---------- I-1960 Dale Schlueter sat behind the large desk on the eighteenth floor of his office. He directed an occasional .glance toward the large television screen on the opposite wall. He strummed his fingers on the polished mahogany surface and a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth. For the third time he reached for the letter on his desk and read it aloud to see if his ears would believe what his eyes had been conveying to him. Dear Dale, he started, then half to himself said, My, how nice to 'receive a letter with my own first name instead of the usual Mr. Dale Schlueter, President Arnis Television Co., Tenth and Vine, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California Then he continued with the letterg '9We've missed you these past five years at our annual class reunions but of course know you've been terribly busy in your work. I do want to congratulate you on your recent oppointment as director of National Television. I met your Mother when I was down at school last week to see Stella. She's quite a gal-: when her husband became ill, she offered to help out with the family finances by taking on this extra work. Goodness only knows how she does it with those twin boys of hers. They're six now though, and going to school to Mrs. Butler. Anyway, Dick is working again so Stella says she will have some extra cash for a vacation. Know what she dreamed up? A class reunion out west! What do you think about that? Several of the class of '50 are living in the West. Do you suppose we could manage 9 We could make it this fall when jim fSeibertl has his farming out of the way. He's really quite prominent around here since he became president of the Flying Farmer of Iowa. He has aspirations to represent the county in the next legislature. joy and her family could get away that fall, too. They've done rather well over at Dallas Center on the farm. They've just completed their new home and she's expecting---that is they plan to move'in soon, and will be settled by then. Bet she'll be glad, too, after living all this time with those three children in those two rooms. Pat lShepherdj writes from San Francisco that she's marrying again. This time it's a wealthy oil man she nursed back to health after a serious auto accident. Nothing would do but she must accompany him from the hospital to continue to care for him at his beautiful home overlooking the ocean. I know you see her occasionally but thought you might not have heard this late news. Perhaps she'll bring him to the rleunion for us to look him over. Nice thought! Did you know Rosie has a transportation company in Denver now? He makes the run from that city to Los Angeles. They say his wife likes the climate there much better and anyway she got bored with living here in a small town, especially with him hauling milk. Rich KRichard Kohlsj has just renamed the former Dodge Field , the Kohls Airport. He had rather bad5luck when the windstorm flattened the new building over there, but now everything is fine. I-le's added several new passenger planes and everyone, just everyone flies whenever they want to go anywhere. His wife and their little girl, Rheta, are spending the summer in Long Beach with her parents. Says he's going to fly out and bring them home before school starts. Maybe I can persuade him to let the rest of us ride along about reunion time. Say, I think I've really got something there! 13
