CLASS PROPH CY It is past midnight, and I sit here still without an inspiration for this prophecy. I fight to keep awake. I rise from my chair and turn on the television to get the news, and to my amazement I recognize our old friends and classmates from the class of '55 in thg year ' S. The first picture that comes into sight is of Peter Von Jagow sitting in his study with his bone-rimmed glasses in pos1tTEn pre- paring his lecture for tomorrow's classes on the campus. He nas become a beloved professor in a noted German university. Next we see Larr Catt putting on a clean apron to he worn during his day's work in his very sucessful grocery and meat market.

Turning toward the stadium at East Lansing we see a former all- conference football player from Lake O'. He, of course, is Glen Desvranves. Settling down to the daily routine of milking cows and feeding chickens of a farm near Woodland is Helen Davis and her husband. Not far from there we find another little farm where Nancy Smith hangs her hat. Qlgigg Curtis is the proprietor of a large dairy farm with Della and Donna Smith as milkmaids. Returning toImke.0' now and then we see the millionaire play-boy Qarwin Bennett. Jim Leak is now employed by Ionia County as chief snow-drift smasher Larry Stalter has taken over the WION Request Club.
