C4165 P010 QC? It all happened because of Dick Dodd's persistence. When in Custer, he insisted that we visit Madam La Fake, the world famed fortune teller. Midnight found us knocking at the door of an old dilapidated, clapboard house. The door silently opened. A hollow voice mockingly bade us enter. As I crossed the threshold I felt a slight inward tremor and found out later that Dick experienced the same feeling. The owner of the voice guided us through many dark and gloomy passages, until at last we were led into a long low room, inhabited by spiders and cobwebs. We were seated before a table completely covered by a black cloth. With little or no fright we waited for what seemed four years. BOOM!! ! BANGf7f ! ! ? Adeafening explosion startled our senses. The Purple smoke floated away and the re on the altar in a calm repose sat a hideous old hag-Madam La Fake ! Gentlemen, what do you desire? I was too frightened to speak. We wish to know the future of the class of 1951 of Ludington High School, answered Dick in a shaken tone. Immediately she passed into a kind of stupor, and began to recite names and deeds of the members of the class. I jerked out a pencil and paper and began to write the facts downjust as she predicted: DOUGLAS MIDDLETON, civil engineer, builder of a mammoth eight span bridge from Ludington to Butte rsvilleg JUNIOR STIELSTRA, ping pong champ of Mason County, EUGENE TOWNS, proprietor of Ludington's Girl's Board- ing Schoolg LYLE ANTHONY, Ludington Chief of Police, LOUIS CARL- SON, head baker of Daisy-Mae syndicate, ROGER ANDERSON, profes- sional basketball playerfor Gus' Cafeg JACK ALKEMA, owner offleet of rowboats in Florida, FRED ADAMS, recently released his theory of Why Man Descended From Woman , STUART ANDERSON, filling station attendant at Stue's Slooper Se rvice ,ED GIBSON, custodian of Ludington City Hallg BILL JEROME, inventor of electronic mousetrapg SHIRLEY SAVAGE, secretary to DICK JOHNSON, multi-millionaire, BOB WARNER, male nurse in Women's Wardg CAROL THOMSEN, racing driver in Stearns Parkg GENE GOFF, mayor of Custer, Michigang MILDRED TAYLOR, professor of Sociology, L.
