Class Prophecy One warm, sunshiny day as I was driv- ing along in my new car, listening to the radio, I heard the announcement that Hazel Nagelschneider and Alma Zener would sing Take Me Back To My Boois and Saddle”, accompanied on the piano by Arlene Ray, a well known pianist, over Colonel Hovorka's Amateur Hour. I in- stantly recognized the names to be those of my old school mates of dear old H. H. S. I decided to go back to the old town of Hemingford to see some of my old class mates. As I drove into the city with my family I was stopped by a blue coated figure, for driving with too many in the car. Who's blonde head and frowning face should I spy as I heard the huge flat feet running up to the car, but my old friend and school mate, Martin Plahn. “Hey you”, he shouted, shouted he. Don’t you know that there is a law against over-loading on the highway?” As he stepped on the running- board he recognized me as one of his team mates of the Basketball Squad of '36. ! asked him about my friends of bygone days. He immediately offered me a police escort around the old town which has now become the Spud Center of the world. In 1936 a small village struggling against the evils of a depression, now in 1955 a thriv- ing metropolis of 450,000. As we drove down Broadway I saw a huge sign saying. Main Event of the Year. World Championship Bout between the world renowned fighter, Dick Moser, and the Eastern Cyclone of New York City.” I promised myself to look in upon him that evening. I asked who Dick s manager was and was informed that Lumir Peltz had been his manager for the past four years. I asked Martin about more of my school mates and he told me that Rosaline Hov- orka, Verna Byrd and Audrey Taylor had a clothing store with the latest Paris fa- shions on sale at all times, with many of their own designs displayed along with the Paris models. He also told me that Donald Minich was the Spud King of the U. S. and President of the National Po- tato Growers Association of America. We asked for a good hotel and were referred to the Grand Palace Hotel” man- aged by the Zeller sisters, Elizabeth and Henrietta. We registered at the desk and who should the clerk be but Arnold Brown. We shook hands and he called a bellboy to take our bags to our rooms. After cleaning up a bit we decided to eat a lunch before going further. After lunch we proceeded on our way to the theater The Shetler Reviews” star- ring Laverne Kiester, dare-devil stunt flyer, and the beautiful and renowned Ruth Hollinrake, in Happy Landings”. When the show was over we took a taxi to the Spudpicker University where we hoped to see the famous S. P. U.'s team in action. When we arrived and stepped out to pay the fare, who should be hold- ing out the bill but Vernon Mann, another of our classmates. Stepping out onto the field we saw the team in their famous formation coached by the All-American Half Back, Wilmer Plan- ansky. He greeted us with his famous saying, Hi Cookie”, and introduced us to the team. After talking a while we asked him whore we would find Gladstone Iver- son and he informed us that he could be found in the gym with his basketball squad. We went immediately to the gym and found him issuing orders to the first team Upon seeing us he dismissed the team and came over to us. We talked for a while and during this time we found out that Laddie Janky was teaching a course in American Government at the Univer- sity. We made a date with Gladstone and Wilmer to meet us that evening in front of the new City Auditorium where Dick was to fight his long-to-be- remembered battle. We had dinner that evening at a large restaurant owned and managed by Wi- nona Phillips. We complimented her upon her beautiful decorations and fine food and went to pay our check To our amazement the cashier was Bonnie Person. She told us that she would be at the fight that night especially to see Leon lanky who was to referee the well advertised bout. We then changed clothes and went to the fight. We got there just as the famous sports announcer Marvin Yardley was an- nouncing the preliminary of the fight. After the fight the ambulance siren could be heard rushing the Eastern Cyclone to the hospital where Dr. Miller received him with great joy. We were informed by Gladstone that Muriel Price was head dietician at the hospital owned and op- erated by Marjorie Miller. Marvin Yard- ley then announced that Harlan Meeker was about to take off at the Municipal Airport in his ship Olive Oyle”, for the first non-stop flight around the world. May success be his. Returning to the hotel from the airport we bid adieu to our old friend and com- panion, Martin Plahn, so that he could go back on duty, and retired for the night. In the morning we started on our return home with the memories of old friends and classmates still fresh in our minds.
