CLASS PR OPHECY All abo ard, yelled the conductor as we grabbed our bagg- age and climbed aboard the Rocket . We had just finished in M.G.M's production of 'Silver Lining' and we were leaving for New York. From there we would go to Europe by atomic airship to spend our two month vacation. With a sigh of relief we settled down in our seats. Soon an argument in the back of the car distracted us. We turned around and to our surprise we recognized Delores Falada, argu- ing with the conductor. We went back to help her out of her difficulty, but as usual Delores didn't need any help. She could still put up a good argument! She was now Mrs. Murven Anderson and singing with his band. They were to appear at the Avolon Ballroom in Hayfield, Iowa. When we arrived in Hayfield, we took a taxi to the Hotel Astoria where we were to spend the night. The next morning we decided to tour the town. As we trudged up Federal Avenue, with the wind beating against us, we noticed a very refined, young lady having the time of her life trying to hang on to her hat and a dog at the same time. As we approached her she looked vaguely familiar. We recognized her as none other than Shirley Jensen. As we exchanged greetings, Shirley invited us to have lunch with her and her husband, Don Geddes. Don was the owner of a chain of Geddes Department Stores . After having a love- ly time with Shirley and Don, we hastened to our hotel. After a short nap we decided it was time once again to leave. We called a taxi and left for Grand Central Station where we took the Zepher to New York. When we arrived, we hurried to the airport. We had to ask the manager for tickets as we didn't have reservations. When we approached the office, what should we see but DONALD G. SCHULZ MANAGER written in big, bright, gold letters. We rushed in to surprise Don. We chatted a while and Don informed us that he had inherited the airline from his great-grandfather. He was still sticking to his motto, Always be a Bachelor . Wonder how long he'l1 stick to this?

We took our tickets and hurried to the air ship. Amid the jostling and pushing we finally got a seat on the atomic air ship. In the next hour we found ourselves in Great Britain. After we got settled in our hotel, We decided to see the Olympic Games that were being held in London. At the stadium we heard a voice over the microphone which we both felt we had heard before. To our amazement it was Donald Formanek, who was not a coach but the manager of the Olympic Games. After a very exciting day we finally got to Don. After a short chat We decided that fame hadn't changed Don a bit. He was still his old self. The next day We went to Paris. The first thing we noticed was a beautiful cathedral. It was so lovely that we couldn't resist the temptation to go in. As we entered the door, the sound of beautiful music overwhelmed us. On the side of a bal- cony we saw the organ that the music was coming from. And who should be seated at the organ but our old schoolmate Mercedes Formanek. Later she invited us to her home where we spent a very enjoyable day. Mercedes had surely traveled a long way on the musical road. Mercedes informed us that Kenny Heller was also living in Paris. Kenny was the professor of the University of France . ' We went to see the University the next day. As we walked down the hall we could see an irate man informing his poor students on How to Become Famous . Sure enough, it was Kenny Heller, still making speeches. Although we both admitted he had im- proved in his speech making a little since our high school days. As we proceeded on our tour we passed through the city of Kwitchabelliakin, formerly Berlin, Germany. We toured the city and visited Governor's We thought to his wife none other old hearty years now By this all the important buildings. This included the house. We were introduced to the governor, Mr. Book. the name sounded familiar and when he introduced us we knew where we had heard it before. His wife was than Wanda Hanson. Wanda greeted us with the same smile. They had been governing the city for three and we were both sure they had made a success. time our vacation had almost elapsed. We were very glad to have seen all the class of 1946 and we were sure they had all gone beyond their goal in life.
