SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY My friend, Alice Meusburger, the former Alice Strain and I were visiting the Aero-View Airport. We decided to rent a special airplane to help us visit our former classmates. It was ten years since we had graduated. I was now manager of the Snyder's Slip and Slide Ballroom in Lytton. I had long since tired of the slogan NEverythings better in Yetteru and had changed it to nEverythings hitten in Lytton.H Alice Meusburger had finished her schooling at the Personnel Training School in Omaha and had married Kenneth Meusburger. They now lived south of Lytton on the farm with Kenny Jr. and little Alice. We hopped in our airplane and headed toward washington, D.C. On the way we saw a big light flashing off and on. We flew down to get a closer view. The sign read HUncle Dave's Restaurant-We serve anything to anyone at anytime. We stopped by to see what the sign meant by the word Hwen. We found David Lohff and Verlyn Scharn workingillthe place. David was chief cook and Verlyn was chief bottle washer. We ate a dinner at their restaurant of fried grasshoppers and chopped seaweed and then left. We flew on to Washington, D.C. We visited we found out that Sandra Oestreich was the first United States. Her cabinet consisted of Mr. Hudson,,Mr. Dale Ball, Mr. Max Mabie, Mr. Bruce and Jim Neppl. She said that shehad chosen some the White House, where woman President of the Albin Alexander, Rock Curtis, Mr. Don Klink, of her former teachers because they had given her such good grades in high school. While we were in Washington, we visited Congress where Senator Larry Williams was giving a speech on nThe Effects of Women in Govern- mentn. We thought this was an appropriate speech because 500 of the 535 members of Congress were women. We hopped in our airplane again and headed for New York City. There we found Shirley Grau playing a concert at Carnegie Hall. She had had her name linked in society columns with Liberace. As we flew over the St. Lawrence Seaway, we waved to Francha Smith who had been supervising the Seaway since she bought it last summer. As we flew over the Atlantic Ocean toward London, England, we saw Nelda Kreft directing the social activities on the ship, Queen Mary. In London we found Leah Patterson, theformer Leah Schultz, repre- senting the United States at the Big Four Summit Conference. With her at the Conference was her husband, Dennis and Dennis Jr. Representing Russia was Khrushchev, Jr. and his wife, the former Virginia Stone. We left London and flew to Paris, France, where we found Mildred Bix owning nMillie's Beauty Salonn. She won a contest which gave her a trip to Paris where she set up her practice. we then returned to the United States, where,we found Doris Jones at Cape Canaveral, Florida. She was to be the first women to travel to the moon. we flew on to New Orleans, where we found Doris Batz singing in a nightclub. The name of the nightclub was HHarold's Nightspotn. She said that she liked this job because she met so many different people. After leaving New Orleans, we flew on to Colorado where we found Karen Kuhrt, the former Karen Patterson, riding in a rodeo. She told us that she was known asUKeep With Them, Karenu because of her expert Brama Bull Hiding. we left Karenandflew on to the salt flats of Utah where we found Arthur Lange testing out his newcwufthat runs on water instead of gas. He said it cost less to run one of these cars. After visiting with him we flew back to Lytton to ' ' get back to the old grind of working. ,anti 45? ily: Q 'f' 'T'
