Art Eaton is just coming in. He has a bandage on his head and his right arm in a sling. I guess his hot rod racing days are about over for awhile. John Bradley sent word that he would also be a little late. His plane was held up in a storm. He is fast becoming one of the best test pilots in the country. Bill Bradley is just pulling in the driveway. That new Cadillac is really some- thing. A real bright red, like his old Buick. He has switched cars so many times since he became owner of two thriving stores in the .fast growing city of Lay- tonville, that we hardly know what he will be doing next. Donna Mason has just arrived. She had to leave her many admirers at the door. She is that famed commedienne of Hollywood. She has taken the place of that old-time actress Judy Canova. Hank Jasper just came bouncing in radiating that everlasting energy of his. He now owns a chain of atomic Energy Service Stations in California. He got his idea while working at the Shell Station during his High School days. Mr. Pettitt and Mrs. Pettitt are living in Chicago now. He is a prominent lawyer there. He will be here shortly since he had to leave Alberta off at a friend's house on the way over. Doctor Thomas is arriving this minute. Dr. Ray Thomas, that is. He never struck me as the type to be a doctor when we were in high school, but that just goes to show you how people change over the past years. Ray has studied hard in these last few years to achieve the reputation of being a top-notch Veterinarian in San Francisco. I happen to know how good he is too, for he took care of my little dog when she became car sick on one of my trips across country. Well, now here comes a distinguished looking gentleman. I don't seem to recognize him, wait a minute, yes, I do. lt's Professor David Rogers. I remembe-r hearing about him awhile back. He is the leading professor of Mathematics in the University of Laytonville. An outstanding man in this organization. The lobby here at the resort is really getting crowded. It looks like everyone is here. Oh, no! I'd better go see what that noise is. They are probably arguing again like they used to during the Senior meetings back in high school. We hope we are together again in the years to come for another reunion. Time and Tide wait for no Man as the old saying goes, and it is interesting to know just what changes time has brought to us. . Good-bye for now, ROSE HUDMAN

Class Prophecy of 54 I, Rose Hudman, have iust finished the last bit of work on my new resort in Palm Springs. I have been seeing a few of my old classmates from Layton- ville High of ten years ago, the Class of '54 from time to time. In order to cele- brate my opening night I have invited them all here for a reunion. It's good to see all the old familiar faces of my old classmates. Here comes the first arrivals now. Look, who iust walked in, Phyllis Vincent and Mrs. Barbara Conn, you all know her as Barbara Foster. Phyllis isn't married as yet, she has been terribly busy with her career. She has become a famous dancer on Broadway in New York, iCan-Can dancer, that isj. She and Barbara have kept in close contact through the years. Barbara left her children at home, itwo, a boy and a girll, to come to this reunion. Well, look who came in now, Jack Hartman and Joe Park. They are doing fine in their fix-it shop. They went into partnership about six years ago. Tom Large iust walked in. As you must have heard he is doing very well with his string of race cars. l'm sure you have read about his success in the Indianapolis race last year, he came in second. Lee Roy Stillwell CTOTJ came in right after Tommy. He is his same cheerful self after his long trip by horseback. He had to come a long way from his horse ranch in Northern California. Sammy Davis is really doing all right on his mink ranch. I remember when his brainstorm hit him, way back in high school days. We didn't think he would make it but he fooled us. He runs one of the best mink breeding outfits in the country. - Marilyn Moxley, now Mrs. Ellis, is coming through the door. She is satisfied just being a housewife and taking care of her four children, two boys and two girls. Delta Myers, excuse me, I mean Delta Longnickle has iust arrived. She is another happy housewife. She and Gerald are very happy with their two chil- dren, Ctwo girlsi. They reside in Willits, California. Wayne Curtis couldn't make it, he is busy with his career, too. He is now Coach at U.C.L.A. There was a game scheduled for tonight so he sent his regrets. We all miss his presence. Marlyce Osland is iust now arriving. A lot of the girls have gone to Mar- lyce's Beauty Salon on 5th Avenue in New York. She is doing quite a thriving business. Teddy Wright sent word that he would be late. He now owns and operates one of the largest sawmills in Northern California.
