Senior Class Prophecy It is the year 1969, the place, Washington D.C. The newly appointed cabinet is now assembling for its first meeting with the newly elected President of the United States, MIKE LOWER. Mike's election to the Presidency was no surprise, as he had staged a long and hard campaign begun in high school. Being old school chums of the President, LEATRICE LYNCH and LARRY ROSTRON, were invited to the first cabinet meeting. As newspaper reporters they are reporting on A Day With the President. As we walked down the corridor to the President's o fice, we noticed two men following close behind us. After a second glance we recognized RUSSELL ZIER and ALLEN ZINK. The President informed us that they were both Secret Service men and that they were with him wherever he goes. Before we entered the meeting, the President told us that we would see several familiar faces who were members of his cabinet. As we entered the room, we saw or rather heard JAMES SLOAN quietly disturbing the other mem- bers, as he described the details of his latest book, HOW TO BEAT THE RUSSIANS IN THE OLYMPICS. Later we learned that Jim was the Secretary of Defense. As we were introduced to each of the members we met RONNIE HELMS, Secretary of Agriculture, SHARON FOLK, Secretary of Health and Education, and LARRY GROVE, Secretary of State. r While visiting with Ronnie, he told us that he had had the privilege of presenting the Farmer of the Year award to DUANE KRUSE who now owns and manages one of the largest dairy farms in the United States. Finally the chaplain of the cabinet, known to us as ROGER BREMMER, rose and immediately all was quiet as he offered a short but reverent pratyer. As the meeting progressed the cabinet ecided two things. One was to redecorate the White House, and the other was to build a new Washington Bridge. The problem of selecting an interior decorator was a simple one. The cabinet merely selected the best in this ield, JOANNE COLE. Joanne has become widely known mainly because of the extensive advertising program provided for her by RALFE LICHTY. After considering several engineers for building the new Washington Bridge the cabinet decided on DAVID PIESEN because of his past record. Only one out of the eight bridges that he has built has collapsed. After the meeting had adjourned, the President invited us to dine with him and we readily accepted. He sent word to JAMES LOWE, his chauffeur,to bring the car around to the front of the White House. After a short wait Jim arrived but without a car. He informed us that JIM FULRATH, the White House mechanic, had been unable to repair the car,so we decided to walk. Presently we came to the business district where we could hear the cry of a newspaper man as he sold his pa ers. He was a tall man and as we came closer we recognized JUNIOR BIRCHEN. Talking to him we learnecl, that he and DAVID BOWMAN, had started printing their own newspaper. We purchased a paper from Junior and started on down the street. Finally we entered an elegant looking restaurant, and after checking our coats'with BARBARA VIET- MEYER, the hostess came to show us to a table. We remembered the waitress at once as the girl who used to work at our home town root beer stand, MARILYN FISHER. While talking with Marilyn, we learned that she was workin for JANE BOWERS who has a chain of fine restaurants. Marilyn also told us that she was trying to win the griendship of acertain KENNY CARBAUGH. Ken is the bouncer in one of Ja.ne's restaurants. While eating dinner we enjoyed a fine stage show, and who was the M.C. ? Of course GARY SMITH, now a talented comedian. The show included DENNIS LAMOREUX, as Maestro the Magician, GARY HAW- BECKER, tenor soloist, with BETTY RADEMAKER as his accompanist. As we enjoyed the show a charming young lady came around selling cigarettes and cigars. Then the lights brightene and we could see the shining face of MARY POFFENBERGER. After the show we talked to Mary learned that SHARON WARNEKE was operating a dress shop in which SHARON KLOEPPING was a m e . After an all too short visit with our friends at the restaurant, we hailed a taxi to take us back to the White House. The ride back was a wild one and as we got out to pay the fare we understood why, the cab driver was none other than DENNIS fthe Menacej RIPPY. As we said goodnight to the President and started on our homeward journey we wonder if the thoughts of our friends are the same as ours. How wonderful it has been to meet our classmates of 1957 and to learn that each is leading a successful and happy life.
