CLASS PROPHECY It was a funny coincidence that I should run into Cacielia Schwarz, one of our class prophets, exactly ten years to the day of our cLss graduation. We fell to talking and soon we were comparing notes on the old gang. I learned from her that: Margaret Adams’ latest book has been chosen as the next Book-of-the-Month. Gustave Babrenburg, head of the bakers' league, has made a fortune in crooked dough. (Pretzels) Elizabeth Baumack, who is prettier than ever, still favors the Navy—all of it. Helene Benoit has been responsible for a women’s branch to Adler Elevator Shoes. Virginia Betcha has her own radio program and quite a fan following. Olga Bezluk is still collecting money. She went from selling COMETS to collecting bills. Catherine Blasucci has made quite a hit singing with Dick Eisemann’s band. Walter Blessee has settled down to one girl—and a little homestead on the North Shore. Stanley Braja has hit the jackpot recently. Cashing in on those war war bonds really changed things. Evelyn Brandstetter and Elmer are one of our older couples. Adeline Brigandi and Mike finally got to- gether, and all is serene. Just about here Cacielia began to run out of information, and I was able to get in my two cents' worth. Kenneth Burgess has made a career of managing basketball teams, and he’s one of the experts on the sport. Marylee Caldwell, who really sold subscrip- tions, is present owner of Curtis Publishing Company. Florence Caruso can be seen with a differ- ent beau every night. That family really races through things. Carol Chittenden is with Joe permanently —and they have two little Smith boys. Audrey Christiansen has taken over the posture division of the Dubarry Success School. Admiral Thomas Cullen has Mary Lou and Marge waiting for him at every port. Audrey Davis is a professional lollipop taster. John Deci is a henpecked husband—but we don't know by whom. Gerard Donlon now careens around cor- ners in his own truck. Arline Dougherty is a shorthand expert, and she and Adeline are still like sisters. Jean Doughty has entered one of her thor- oughbreds in the biggest horse race of the season. Edward Eisemann can be seen wearing his sheriff's badge and carrying his “shotgun. Ruth Ewen has won fame as the first wo- man tobacco auctioneer. Catherine Finn is now known as Mickey. But she isn't a bartender. Grace Fippinger is teaching music and giving cheerleading lessons on the side. Joseph Fox has gone out for track to try to get away from those girls who are still following him. William Gauck is a test pilot for the Army Air Corps. June Geir is a very private private secre- tary. Margaret Gleckler was almost arrested for assault and battery when she almost lost control when someone called her “Maggie. Vivienne Goetz married her French cor- respondent and now lives in Canada. Virginia Gordon is still working on “the Brain's dancing ability. Agnes Gorney is doing H.H.S. right proud as an outstanding secretary. Joseph Gowalis no longer has that shabby, old buggy—he painted it. Joan Graeber gave up journalism to be a model. Her profile graces this month’s LOOK. Hugh Habenicht is still petitioning—this time a for mayor. I told Cacielia about the announcement Virginia Hafner had sent me announcing Artie Jr. Beryl Hall has taken over the fashion de- signing for M.G.M. Her brother, James Hall, has gained fame as the typical college boy in magazine ads. Irma Harter is making out I.Q. tests for high schools. Betty Herfort poses for eye make-up ads.
