CLASS PROPHECY ‘08 GUAM, January 31, 1958 Dear Mary Adele: I was simply overjoyed to hear that you are having such success with your Dress Shoppe there in La Grande. You’ll never believe it, but even the natives over here are wearing your “Merry Mary” models and they love them. It was so clever of you to think of the sunbonnets as they surely are a hit here. They are just the tiling for carrying your worldly goods in. And Fay tells me that you are also doing interior decorating and have re-done dear old Imbler Hi in purple and red. I must say it needed i,t. No doubt a purple and red atmosphere is very conducive to study. Congratulations to you and Abraham on staying happily married for three months. nniversaries are such happy times aren’t they? Now. don’t protest that you haven’t been happy. Oh. of course we all have our little squabbles, but his head will heal. An aluminum roaster isn’t a deadly weapon. Guess who dropped in on me the other day! I was just about to take dictation and the door burst open and in ran Bill Fisher yelling, Micky! Micky Calhoun!” I was so excited I nearly fell off the boss’s lap. She established a photograph shop in New York and made her first million there. Remember how she used to be known as Wild Bill from Summerville”? Well, she hasn’t changed. She’s over here taking pictures for the New York Herald-Tribune. Her pictures are a little unusual, and the sales of the paper have more than doubled since she became staff photographer. Arlajean is living in Boston now, you know. They’re sitting on top of the world since she wrote her treatise on child care that took the world by storm. At Johns Hopkins they said it was unlike anything else that had ever been written, and I can well t elieve it. She has first hand information, too. Of course you knew that they had twins, Clement and Clementine. Just recently they've been blessed with triplets—going up. I’m not sure what they are named but I heard foul rumors to the effect that it is Asa. Amanda, and Alouette. The last copy of a Boston newspaper I had said that she was No. 4 of the ten best-dressed women in Boston. She’s still the same though, and laughs about soaking up the culture.” I ran into Fay the last time I was in Cleveland. She’s head librarian in one of the libraries there. Her husband owns the Rivoli Theatre and she works in the box office at night. It works out very well, I guess. While in the library, Fay drums up trade for the theatre. She says it does get a bit dull in the library, so she often takes her scrapbooks along to look at. They’re doing very well, but she does so pine to be back on the farm. How is Roberta getting along? She still does live in Elgin, of course? I heard she had opened up a beauty shop for men and specializes in finger waves and mud packs. They say it has greatly improved the appearance of the Elgin men, too. Her husband was the first to patronize the place, and then the rest flocked in, or so the story goes. Darling, is her husband’s name Ronny or Danny? I can never remember. Did you hear about Carl? He’s a psychiatrist in Piladelphia and acts so strangely. He goes around murmuring. “I ought to have my head examined.” He broke his contract as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, stating that it was a lousy ball club, so of course he had to get out of town. He went west and designed cargo planes for Boeing for awhile, but he says there’s really more money in this ether field. He says its simply a snap to take money away from women this way Ind fun

■ ,1 f too. I do hope he doesn’t think of fortune telling. Is it really true that Maxine Barton is the new physical education teacher at Wallowa high school? They tell me that she revolutionized the whole system, and the new state tests she drew up are really tough. One of the nurses at St. Jo told me the last time I was home that they brought in one girl who was tied into a choir boy tie. Maxine started tying them in knots and gradually working up to the more difficult phases. Aileen Stephens is a nurse at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. 1 had to have a physical check-up before taking this job with the Embassy, and I was surprised to see her there. She told me she was planning on going to the Foreign Mission Field, so 1 sent her 100 copies of the song “Civilization” to take with her. Did I mention she’s developed a new bell system for ringing for nurses in hospitals that has spead like wildfire? The bells don’t ring. I really like my job fine. Mainly I take dictation. The boss is young, unattached, and handsome, and my shorthand is splendid so 1 have an easy time of it. Life on Guam isn’t nearly so monotonous as you might think. Really, there are practically no women whatever over here. 1 would like to go home again though, and see everybody, especially at Imbler Hi. Mr. Rogers has been dictator there for the last three years. He has a doctor’s degree in so many fields he’s lost count of them by now, but every summer goes back for another one. Of course Jo’s still there, trying to get her credits in English IV and Physical Education so she can graduate. You know she passed Agriculture with flying colors but just couldn’t make it through English. And what with Maxine’s new physical education rulings, 1 guess she’s just about despaired of ever making it through P. E. I heard via the grapevine that she has opened up a rather shady matrimonial bureau on the side, she became so short of funds. You know she lost everything on the Louis-Walcott light, hack in ’47. She hopes to make enough to pay off her debts in the office and for a bus ticket to Salt Lake City before the cops catch up with her. Well, the boss wants another letter written so I must run and put on fresh lipstick. As ever, MICK IE CALHOUN
