Prophecy We have just reached the site of the great Arnold Circus, owned and operated by Ray Arnold, where the engineers, Don Hamilton, Charles Svoboda, and Tom Loftus, are busily erect- ing the large tents. We spoke with these old classmates and were told that many of them were starring in the circus. Upon learning this we decided to stay at Madison Square Garden and take in the acts. We were getting hungry and went across the street to Dunlap’s drug store where we met Earle Hines and Ken Dunlap, who were the pharmacists. We reminisced over the good old days for some time and then stopped by the old Alma Mater to see who was teaching there. First we stopped in the office to meet the principal who was Richard Gregg. We asked him why there were no children in the school, and he told us that he had created a National Skip Day for all the kids. We then talked to the secretaries who were Ruth Ann Golch and Verne Butler, who said that the students were getting harder to teach and therefore had to hire some of the best teachers in the world. We visited these unparalleled teachers and stopped first at the history room where Rudy Papa was busily grading test papers. Next we visited the bookkeeping room where Pat Doneff was lecturing her class. We talked for a while and then went to the biology and chemistry room formerly held down by C. O. Gass and E. Votoupal. We found, much to our surprise, Robert Armstrong mixing an atomic solution. Robert had just received the Nobel (no-bell) prize as the scientist of the year. George Staggs told us that Mr. Gass had re- signed because of the lack of rats in the high school. In the P. E. Department we found Mike Costoff eating out assistant coaches, Bob Jones, Bob Cantlon and John Kraus. The girls P. E. instructors, Pat Kutzera and Barb Kraley, were enjoying a rest after the kids had gone on their skip day. While we were talking Izola Barefield, the school nurse, dropped in to chat for a while. She told us about Hugo Carter’s son having his hand caught in the soda vender and spraining it a little. She said he was a chip off the old block. By this time it was getting late, and we decided to leave the old school and go to a restaur- ant to dine. As we left the school, we met millionaire, professional basketball player, Jim Orescovich with his wife, Carol Turner, and their four children, one of whom now starred on the school team. We learned that they were going to go to the circus that night, so we planned to meet them there and watch the acts together. We crossed the street to the Old High Grill, now owned by Jane Schoolfield and her husband Boyd Briles. We talked, over sloppy joes and pepsies, until we were thoroughly lubricated. As we left they said they would join us at the Circus that night. When we got back to our hotel we found that we had left some of our luggage at the Echols Airline Company. We told our old friend Tyrone, now known as Tycoon Ty, about our luggage, and he promptly spoke to another of our old classmates, Kathryn Hawley, who was the head com- munications operator of the airlines. She sent for a hostess to bring our bags. The hostess, much to our surprise, was Myrna Horn, who told us that she had not seen our luggage but would help us find it. As we toured the hangers, we came upon a supersonic craft which Myrna Horn, told us was to be test flown by Raleigh Freeman, their test pilot. Standing beside it was James Boyd, drawing a sketch of the plane for Diders Rejest. With him was his chief assistant, Everett Hockerson, who was to paint the drawing. As we were leaving, we saw the Globe Trotters getting off a plane, led by their coach. James Salmond, and assistant, Walter Jackson. We talked to them and found that many of the basketball stars of high school days were now with the Globe Trotters. They told us about Mike Foster setting a new scoring record, how Dio Fosters’ cool, calm, and collected play had won many games, how John Hampton dazzled the crowd with his jumping ability, and that Edward Shackelford had taken over in place of Goose Tatum, who was 98 years old at the time. 30 Madison, Illinois Compliments Of UHERCIK’S GROCERY 2000 Edwardsville Rd.
