escgee ecfor ,1 The Class Prophecy The class of '44 decided that immediately after graduation it would board a train for a trip to Hollywood, California. Our journey began as most do, and nothing extraordinary happened until we made our first stop at Washing- ton, D. C. Elizabeth Sabo, in her characteristic manner, wandered too far and missed the train. When we arrived at historic Richmond, Va., Given Leidich was so entranced by the chant of the tobacco auctioneers that he decided to remain. A few hours later we were exploring the vast caverns of Mammoth Cave, Ky. We left the cave without Frank Rayan, who had evidently become con- fused with his directions. A few hundred miles later, while crossing the Missis- sippi, Louis Kukoda leaned a bit too far out of the window and disappeared. We rushed to the window just in time to see him frantically paddling for shore. Without giving him a futher thought, we hurried on to suffer our greatest mis- fortune at Colorado Springs. Here, our practical joker, E. j. Dugan, uncoupled the last Pullman car containing sixteen members of our class. Eventually we reached sunny California - - it was raining. None of us realized that few would return. TEN YEARS LATER The rest of this tale will be told by two weary travellers of the road, namely, Marie Nagy and Betty Weierbach. 'lr 1' f Il' i' On june 6, 1954, we slowly plodded up to Mr. Brown's home in Heller- town. Here we learned that Arlene Reinert is married to the mayor and lives in a white mansion on Fifth Avenue, a new section of town. Lucy Mataitis, RN., is in the employ of one of the town's new doctors. Her consideration for others has made her a well-liked person in the locality. After a lengthy con- versation with our former class adviser, he told us that Ruth Mease is now managing the Bingen Department Store. The high school girls' basketball team has won the championship for five successive years under the coaching of Charlotte Brown, athletic directress. Dorothy Kilian, school nurse, has raised health standards considerably and attendance is now at its highest peak. Roy Bauder is the new director of the Allentown-Bethlehem Airport and is frequently seen flying overhead in his heliocopter. Evelyn Pluck is employed as his private secretary and often accompanies him on his flights. We were surprised to hear that Elizabeth Sabo and james Pearson are two of Pennsyl- vania's representatives to Congress. These two are outstanding members of the Lower House. We thanked Mr. Brown and explained to him that we were going to retrace the journey the class had made to Hollywood ten years ago. just before we left, we invested our last nickel in a copy of the New York Times and read that joseph Beyer has just returned from Moscow, where he had impressed millions with his interpretations of Shakespeares julius Caesar . Mr. Beyers forthcoming marriage to his leading lady of last geqgon will be his third. The following week we arrived at john Hopkins Hospital, where Kqrl Werkheiser has become one of the outstanding surgeons of the country. Mar- guerite Smoyer is the hospital's directress of nursing. Both Karl and Marguerite have advanced rapidly in the short space of ten years. ln Richmond, we met Given Leidich in a tobacco warehouse, auctioning fine tobacco in his familiar chant.
