CLASS PROPHECY Here it is 1963 and I have been out of school ten years. My how time files. It doesn't seem as though I have been In the Waves for ten years. Just as I was leaving my headquarters, I ran into one of my old pals, Dolores Campbell , and she was on a thirty day furlough the same as I, so we decided to go back to good ole Loogootee and Crane. As we boarded our plane who do you think was pilot, but our old classmate Ned Morrlsette. We had a little ahat with Ned before the plane departed and he told us that Donald Vickers, Jack Hardwick, and Donald Neukam were big businessmen who had a large share in the N. V. H. Airline TransportatIon. He also Informed us that ve would meet Priscilla Fish one of our old classmates who is a ctewardest on this airline. As the plane landed in Loogootee, we decided to go over to the Arrow and have our breakfast, and to our surprise who do you think was the owner but our old class artist Carroll Ledgerwood. We chatted with Carroll while we ate, and he told us that Wllmer Jones was now a pro basketball player. After we said good-by to Carroll we decided to go over to Larkins end see what hardened to two of our classmates Doris Williams and Dean Waggoner, we learned that Larkin's is now Waggoner's and that Dean 1s now the owner, and Doris w=s now Mrs. Clarence Gingerick who had four children. As we talked with Dean he told us that Gayle Taylor was now the owner of the Ford Garage.

As we talked with Nancy she told us that Wanda Truelove was now teach- ing the First grade in Loogootee Public School and that Martha Westenbarger finally married Bob and is now head nurse In the Loogootee Hospital. We then told Nancy good-bye and started on our ™ay to Crane. On our way to Crane we stooped at the Beasley Ranch and found our good oal Camilla home from California where she is teach- ing commerical studies in a large school there. We talked with Camilla for quite a while and then we again said good-bye and started on our way to Crane. When we arrived in Crane we learned that Shirley Walker wos now Mrs. Kenny Sandere and was living in Crane and the mother of six children. We had our lunch In Crane then started back to Loogootee.
