Class Prophecy History has proven that Ogden Dunes was not a good plcae for the Worlds Largest Port, so it is now built at Baum’s Bridge. One fine day Joan Birky and Kay Simic, co-captains of the Kankee Steamer set out in a journey down the Kankakee River. The first thing to meet their eye was a blushing mermaid flapping her tail in the water. Who should it be but Vera Krug. After the shock she told us some of our classmates lived along the same river. So we pointed our steamer down the stream and started off. As we drew near Bachelor’s Heaven we noticed two men floating lazily down the river on a raft. They were feeding squirrels home brewed moonshine. As they waved we noticed they were none other than Wayne and Dave. We discussed old times and they told us they were married but came out here to forget their little troubles (twelve to be exact). Later we decided to get a bite to eat, anything but fish. We docked by a little cafe. As we drew closer we heard someone beating on a piano. It was Dick Good- paster. He decided to give Liberace some competition by pounding away on the piano and letting his hair grow. Along side of him we saw a little man playing a violin who was our own Roger Cannon. As we looked up we saw a blonde sitting on top of the piano with her blonde hair dangling in her eyes. You’d never guess it to be Alice Kay. She jumped from the piano to tell us some news about Roger Redelman who deserted her to go to the foreign legion with Glen Good. After we had had enough to eat, we went on our way. As we were gliding along we saw a little man setting traps for river rats. Wc found it to be Glenn Hefner. Our ship began to sputter and Glenn told us there was a gas station not far ahead. When we arrived at the station to gas up our steamer, who should be running the station but Kay Krueger, now Mrs. Knopf. Jim was letting her take care of the station while he chased the twelve kids around the tent in which they lived. Kay told us Evelyn and Chuck lived just across the river. They started making Pontiacs but ended up with Fords that sprout wing and are jet propelled. Wc decided to go down Crooked Creek so we dropped the wheels on our steamer and drove down river road. There sat a glass house heated by the sun and Janet was watching her forty inch colored television while Ronald was in the kitchen washing dishes with “Winski’s Hopeless Soap.” This soap is manufactured by Ron Winski. We stopped and Janet told us Roy lived on a ranch not far away and raised Shetland ponies. Jerry, Sandy, and Don Schoon were employed by Roy; they clean the stables. Not far from Roy’s ranch was a huge poultry farm. This was operated by none other than Ronnie Sommers and Clarence. They had three of our classmates picking chickens for them. They were Jim, Bill, and Bev. We talked to them for a while and they told us that Warren has now taken Miss Dittmer s place as English teacher at Kouts High School. We finally arrived at CroOiced Creek. Then we came upon Grape Island and found Donna, Rosie, and Bernice frantically clearing away the grapes so they would have a place to live. It got a little foggy so we decided to dock on Lone Tree Island. We both agreed it had been a very enjoyable trip because we had heard about and seen the whole c'ass of ’55.
