THE NEXT HALF CENTURY It is now the year 1960 and as I am sitting here in my fortune telling booth at the Huntington County fair awaiting customers, I gaze into my crystal ball. I see the numbers 1950 and it brings to my memory the class that was graduating from H.C.H. ten years ago. It has been a long time, and 1 wonder what my old friends are doing. Hopping on my magic carpet I zoom over the city and land in the yard of a nice little bungalow on W. Tipton Street. Seeing a little tow-head in the yard, I asked who lived there. It was none other than his daddy, John Wonderly. Talking to John, I find he's the only one from his class married. Traveling on, I see something going down the sidewalk and zooming down, I find it is my good friend Mark Stoffel driving his new Ford Mort. After asking Mark several questions, I find he is a very successful poet. Continuing on my journey, I see a very stern man roughly pulling a little boy along the street. After going closer, I see it is Jerry Driscoll and can't help but notice his badge stating Truant Ofhcerf' Back on my magic carpet, I find myself enroute to Indianapolis. Hearing that Doloros Ehinger was in the hospital, I made a visit to St. Vincent's and had quite an interesting chat with the Superintendent of Nurses, Jackie Ferris. She told me Doloros had been the first lady ever to enter the 500 mile race and as she was entering her last lap, her racer crashed into the wall. I find that Jackie has two more of my friends on her staff. Helen Prus has supervision of pediatrics and Eugene Young is the general electrician. After visiting with Doloros for a few minutes, I started down the long hall. Glancing into one of the rooms, I rec- ognize a familiar face, none other than Gene Buzzard. Upon inquiring, l found out that he and his partner Don Stoltz cracked up during their dare devil performance. Going outside and climbing upon my magic carpet, I head for the Windy City of Chicago. At a famous laboratory, I find my good friends, Jean Anne Klepper and Patsy Kelly, well known scientists. Their chemistry at H.C.H. has proved a great help to them. Gliding over the tall buildings I see in neon lights, Joanne's Beauty Shop, featuring Peroxided Crew Cuts. Coming a little closer I see that it's Joanne Weber sporting one of her famous hair-do's. A few blocks down we find the largest Packard Co. in the world, owned and operated by Jim Zahm. Needing nourishment for the remainder of my journey, I stop at Jack Simon's grocery. Picking up a loaf of bread, I am told by Jack that Doris Ufh eil is now taking the place of Miss Sunbeam singing the advertisement on the radio as well as drawing her own picture on the bread wrapper. Back again on my magic carpet, I head toward New York City. The first stop I make is right on Broadway where I notice at the largest New York theater, a sign telling of the coming performance of Janie Coughlin and her little dancer Sylvester Rondus. While reading the advertisement, who should appear but Janie and Sylvester in a long black car driven by their stately chauffeur, Richard Holley. Going on to another theater I find it owned by Pat McNulty. By talking to Pat, I find he is also man- ager, producer, actor-in fact the whole show. The carpet is now enroute to Florida. Feeling a need for some refreshments, I swerved my carpet down when I saw the sign, Eat at Sib's Drive In. Who should appear but my good friend Lucille Brown. After a little chat with her, I resumed my flight to Florida. Wishing to learn of the latest news, I bought a Florida Hilltop. I soon discover that the production staff is none other than Helen Christman and Bernadine Stoltz, formerly on the H.C.H. staff. 'I'urning to the woman's page, I see the headlines Advice to the Love-Lorn by Joan Bartrom. Turning to the sports page, I find that Jim Stoffel went to California recently to capture the championship golf title from none other than Bing Crosby. Deciding to go on a sight seeing tour, I direct my magic carpet toward the orange groves of Greg- ory Coughlin. Upon talking to Gregg I learn that the Mardi Gras is to be held soon in New Orleans, and that Mary Elizabeth Kastner is to reign over the entire event. My last stop before reaching home is Ken- tucky, where I find Norma Gass is conducting an auctioneering school for women. Her command of the language has made her successful. She told us to be sure and visit Shirley Carmichael before that event- ful day when she plans to take the first train west to a certain Indian reservation for a teepee marriage. Our maiden friend, Shirley Kilty, will probably trail behind on the next train, prospecting for INDIANS??????? After a pleasant trip I find myself back in my fortune telling booth in Huntington still waiting for customers. I5
