Prophecy It’s a cool evening in May, 1976, as I board my Jet Coupe for Tombstone, Arizona. I gaze anxiously around for my partner, Sally Nuest, who has returned to our hotel suite for our personal folding pianos. (Sally and I are concert pianists). Here she comes now, carrying a piano in each hand. These pianos, which fold to the size of a suit case, were invented by the famous Professor Lezlion E. Young in 1972. We board the jet and in a few minutes, under the splendid supervision of our pilot, Gwen Heinold, we have an aerial view of Tombstone. Upon our arrival, we notice with vexation that the former village has grown to a close proximity of many of our large cities and is now the capital of Arizona. Who shoul'd be there to meet us? None other than Governor Donald P. Smith, a former classmate. After joyous words of greeting, Governor Smith invites us to dine with him at the ancient Birdcage Inn, now owned and operated by Johann Wandry. We observe on the marquee that the entertainment for the evening is to be provided by comediennes, June Koehler, Janice Pfledderer, and her daughter, Qavette, accompanied by the LSMFT BAND (Lefty Susdorfs Mighty Fine Troope). We enter and are very pleasantly ushered to a beautifully arrayed table. In the back row of the band we spot Jerry Cannon, now playing the merimba. After eating a very delicious dinner with Governor Smith, we excuse our- selves to see that our arrangements are in order for the concert. We go quietly around to the stage door and down the hall. We pass a practice room, with the door open, so we peek in and “Well fancy meeting you her!” Donna Pfeiffer and Larry Birky are practicing some new dance steps for their ballet act. We watch them a minute and hurry on to our dressing room. Upon entering the dressing room we find a telegram addressed to both of us; quickly Sally tears it open and reads the message. “Good luck on your tour. Sorry can be present first night.” Signed by the President and Vice-president of the U. S., Marshall Heinold and Donald Kneifel. Marshall and Don had a switch of opinions on Republican and Democrat parties back in 1969, and now Marshall is President on the Democratic ticket and Don a Republican Vice-president. This sys- tem of one Democrat and the other Republican was started in 1972. As we once more board our jet to continue our concert tour, Sally and I en- thusiastically agree that our evening in Tombstone was very enjoyable. We shoot up into 'he sky, and our pilot, Gwen, points to a small black speck on the ground below. There, to our amazement, is none other lhan Elvin Nuest on his new atomic controlled tractor. “He is now sole proprietor of a 2,000 acre ranch” Gwen non- chalantly adds. Our next destination is in Rome, Italy, so we have a few minutes to relax after a tiring evening. We turn on our radio-vision and, there to our surprise, we see Hhroi'd Olson adver'ising his new automobile called the Piymasoatcadabaker, the finest in the land. (By the way, Marilyn Sutter test-drives these cars for him.) We spend the first night in Rome at the newly built hotel, the luxurious Las Quazierre. As the sun peeks through the windows the next morning, a bell boy rings cur door bell and hands us a special telegram infroming us that Sandra Birky, a former classmate, is now pacing the fioor of the Rome General Hospital. She is about to become a new grandma. We rush to the hospital to exchange bits of gossip and to console her in her excitemenl After our evening concert, we shove off once more, this time for Scotland. We have come here for the sole purpose of visiting Allen Hamann in his new spectacu- lar Presbyterian Church which seats 5,000 people very comfortably. As we make our way down the crowded streets of Scotland, we notice in a nearby style salon, a model very much resembling Dick Tabler. At a closer glance, we are assured of the astonishing fact that it is Dick, now modeling the very latest styles in kilts. We stop for a chat with him, then excuse ourselves to see Allen, after which we resume our journey to our last destination, enchanting Hawaii. We decide to spend a few leisure days here in the balmy sunshine of Hawaii before returning to our home near Kouts, Indiana. As we are lazily dreaming under the palm trees, we hear a faint sound of music in the distance. Upon investigation, we discover that Mary Ann Knoll is now a hulu dancer and has a show of her own! She was very glad to see us once more, and a tear glistened in our eyes as we bid her adieu. As we board our jet coupe to end our concert tour, we think happily of the many memories we have brought afresh to our minds. We have one more stop to make, however, in a nearby city to see Sue Mans- field who is now composing and pantomiming her own songs. After seeing Sue, we are on our way home. As we notice the enumerable neon lights of Kouts, we conclude that our tour was the most enjoyable we have ever had, but it’s true we were happy to be back in our old home town. “Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” Kay Johnson and Sally Nuest

History Twelve years ago, on a bright day in September, thirty-six boys and girls filed into Room I to begin learning the basic fundamentals in their melody of education under the careful guidance of Lola Benson. Fifteen of the enthusiastic choir are still with the group: Jerry Cannon, June Koehler, Don Kneifel, Mary Ann Knoll, Richard Tabler, Elvin Nuest, Sally Nuest, Harold Olson, Donna Pfeiffer, Janice Pfledderer, Don Smith, Marilyn Sutter, Sue Mansfield, Johann Wandry, and Leslie Young. Before traveling on to the second verse, seven members left, only to be replaced by eight new ones, three of whom were to graduate with the choir in 1956. They are Gwen Heinold, Marshall Heinold, and Kay Johnson. This part of their melody was directed by Marie Maupin, Jeanette Loring, and Mabelle Hofferth. A very sour chord was struck when thirty-two out of the thirty-five members went home with failing papers, all on the same day. This was soon corrected, however, as they traveled on their way to the third verse, leaving only three members behind and gaining seven, including Sandra Eirky, Allen Hamann, and Francis Susdorf. Wasn’t this the year when Kay Johnson found, under the direction of Hazel Filer, that making faces at teachers wasn’t accepted. Miss Ova Chelf assisted the choir in their fourth verse when ,two voices joined in the singing, one being Janice Pfledderer, who rejoined after a three years’ absence. Remember the argument Sally and Marilyn had, each claiming they knew Janice best? This was also the time when the choir had to sit on the floor in front of the fifth graders because they had not yet learned not to shout in the corridors. It wasn’t long, however, until they were fifth graders themselves and found they were under the leadership of Mesdames Kathryn French and Faustine Nocco. Larry Birky and two other voices united with the choir at this time. Can any one remember walking up and down the halls drying out their clothes after sliding on a damp slide at recess? Three voices were added as they continued their mleody in the sixth grade with Marion Vanderhart. Between the sixth and seventh verses, a sad tempo fell upon their melody, by the deaths of David Rosenbaum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Rosenbaum, and Larry Railing, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Railing. As they started the second half of the melody, their choir found it was singing the tune of hourly bells and buzzers, but they soon got used to the new rhythm. There were many directors in this part of the melody. After the resignation of several members and the addition of June Koehler, the choir sang the latest notes of the song with twenty-two joyful voices.
