Class Prophecy---Room 101 The time is September 18, 1949 outside Seibert stadium, home of the Detroit Tigers, where the lst game of the season was about to begin. As we approached the ticket office we noticed that our old friend, Bill XVood, from Longfellow, was selling tickets. After talking with him we found that several of our former schoolmates were playing and working there. We were ushered to our seats by Bob Herbster. He told us that Barbara Burnard, Margie Reetz, and Doris Thomas and their boy friends were also in the crowd. He also said that there would be ceremonies before the game in which Manager Tommy Sheehan, Owner and President Jack Seibert, Vice President, Sam Buzanis, and Eddie Lawrence, the slugging outfielder, would receive gifts for their fine work. These were presented by the four Queens of Detroit, Mary Gilbert, Helen Colvin, Ma1'ilyn Gray, and Georgia Selfe, all graduates from Longfellow. After the ceremonies, the ground keepers Bill Snell, Norman Link, and John Beroth came out to give the diamond a last minute going over. -lust as the teams were ready to take the field, a familiar voice came over the loud speaker to announce the umpires and battery for the game which consisted nf Donald Dankert and -lack Wend as umpires and the battery was none other than David Buttke as pitcher, and the catcher was lfddie VVelch. We inquired about the announcer and found out it was Ted McCool. The game finally started and about the third inning Donna llflasiker came around selling peanuts, etc. ln the fifth inning the visiting pitcher hit a Detroit batter in the head with a pitched ball lmmediately Doc Damraur and his nurse, Betty Shively, were called to the field. After first aid treatment he regained conciousness and the team resumed play. The lucky score card numbers were then posted' in the center, and We had a lucky one. We went to the box officer to get our award and we found then that Phyllis Wasserstrom and Jacquelyn Geisland were the secretaries and Eugene Dusseau was business manager. When we got back to our seats we found the score still tied, four up, going into the last of the ninth, with Detroit up. The first two men up, flied out. Then, Edgar Prond got hold of one and over the fence it went. The star of the game was Bob Boddy, who has international fame as shortstop. A poster announced that Robert Young and Otis Taylor, famous musicians, were appearing in Detroit the following week. Of course, we'll be there! So ended a perfect day.
