Class Prophecy Here we are holding our class reunion in the Palmer House in Chicago just twenty years after we graduated from L. C. H. S. As we look around the room we see Margaret DeLong, a former math teacher, now married to J. G. Highpockets, oil millionaire. At the table next to us we spot Ronald Hoscheid and Robert Becker, now the co-owners of the Cadillac Corporation. Roger Einstein Harris is with them. He just re -turned from the moon. We cross the room and struggle through reporters and past grinding TV cameras till we spot three of our grads who are now celebrities. Marilyn Barger, who finally got off to Washington, is currently running for president, and Wyman H. Billington, a Missourian, is running opposite her. John Lundgren (The Walter Winchell of our day) is sitting between them and getting his latest scoop. At an -other table we spot Eileen Einsele, former Du Pont secretary. Eileen made a fortune a couple of years ago from her invention of a shorthand pen. Eileen relates that Anna Marie Schmidt is a famous fashion designer for MGM. Elaine May Keutzer came in late. She had trouble finding someone to stay home and take care of her little Marines. The reporters stampede for the door and we look up to see Pat Kessel, the biggest star at Warner Brothers, carrying the Oscar she won for her role in All About Patricia. Across the room we spot Vivian Meyer, now Mrs. John Galetti, who operated a salami place in Cherry. Seated with Viv is Jack Weeks, who owns the biggest ranch this side of the Mississippi. Naomi Robbins rushes in and tells us that she is now doing social work here in Chicago. A high-powered car drives up and Jackie Drummer, who is now running a gambling casino in Las Vegas, enters. She states that she is awaiting a divorce from her 7th or 8th husband, she can't remember which! I suppose everyone read in the papers about Irma Dissinger's husband, Lowell McCormick, and his frozen food process. By the way, Sally Blackwell has fullfilled her life ambition to get married and have five children. She is now living on a farm southwest of LaMoille. Dorothy Jackson, who has made a name for herself in the interior decorating field,has just finished doing the Waldorf. Janice Bomleny has just returned from London where she has been governess to the royal family for the past fifteen years. The last person to enter is Mildred Strobel, who retired from a great stage career and is now teaching on the West Coast. I guess it’s getting late for I can see the sun rising over Lake Michigan, so we leave our reunion of the 1952 graduates. We sincerely hope that we will all meet again in the near future. 10
