CLASS PROPHECY lt is May, 1966, and we are in a let liner approaching the landing at Ander- son Air Activities owned by Bonnie Anderson, who purchased it to keep alive the famous name with the first million dollars she made on Bonnie Beauty Lotion, a formula she discovered one day when she dropped a box containing an assort- ment of medicine her veterinary grandfather had entrusted to her. She strained the glass and labels out and stirred the mixture thoroughly with her hands, which came out soft and lovely. She tried it on her face and it worked like magic. Now it is sold the world over and Bonnie is immensely wealthy. We are looking forward to the fast approaching reunion of the class of '56, which is to be held in the beautiful White Hotel in Malden owned by Sue White- horn. On the plane we noticed a mysterious man in dark glasses. Upon closer in- spection we found him to be Jimmy Taylor of the famous Blansett Detective Agency of New York, owned by Marlin Blansett, who is vacationing in the Riviera and can't attend the reunion. He confided that he was shadowing Jerry Holloway, whose millionaire wife suspected he was returning to Malden to see some old love. The Malden Police Department, headed by Chief of Police Tom Elder, was joining efforts with Detective Taylor to make a complete report to the iealous wife. Upon landing we went into the Air Terminal and found Anna Lee Box selling tickets and Jeannie Walker waiting for her husband to return from his daily flight. While we were making a telephone call, P. J. Lovelace came in from his round- the-world flight. He is a very well-known iet ace. We telephoned for a cab and the telephone operator's voice seemed very familiar and we soon discovered that she was Shirley Blanton, chief Malden opera- tor. We took a cab into town, and as we stepped out of the cab we found the doorman at the White Hotel to be Harold White, looking very natty in his slick uniform. Seated at the grand piano in the ballroom of the hotel was that famous enter- tainer Bob Meyer. He has changed his name to Meyerace. He was accompanying Charles Dale Anderson who is singing at the Malden Metropolitan Opera, owned and operated by Norma Karlish and Dotty Stewart, who just couldn't leave the theatrical business. We slipped into one of-the back rows of the Green and Gold room where the reunion was already in progress. The row was overrun with fidgeting children. We inquired their names and they turned out to be the children of the famous basketball player, Gene Jordan, and his wife, Mariel Johnson. Gene and Mariel live luxuriously on the royalties from Gene's book, Basketball, One-Way Street to Fame and Fortune. The main speaker for the afternoon was Senator J. Rayburn King. Senator King is now in the middle of his campaign for the nomination for president of Redem Party which he formed from the best principles of the two maior parties. Seated beside Senator King were Gen. Jerry L. Shelton, a four-star general in the United States Army, and the president of our class of '56, Jerry Tuttle, who is the master of ceremonies and star of Grand Ole Opry. The two women seated on the other side of the speaker were Dolores Johnson, famous criminal lawyer, and Melba Crawford, ambassador to Spain, who secured the appointment because of her broad knowledge of the language. Presiding at the meeting were Dean and Mrs. William A. Greeng Bill is now the dean of the University of Missouri and father of five. He rapped for attention and expressed the appreciation of the class to the owner of the Malden Bakery, Mr. Delon Allen, for furnishing the bread and rolls for the banquet. He also ex- pressed his appreciation to Rodney Stokes for furnishing the delicious roast pork from his nationally known Hampshire hogs. Dean Green called upon Mr. Ronnie Deen, owner of KTCB Radio and TV station, to read his report on the activities of the class of '56 since graduation. Mr. Deen appeared very proud as he told of his former classmates. Two of the majorettes from our class, Martha Bowman and Barbara Barham, are now the world's twirling champions. The twins from our class, Wayne and Jane King, are a brother and sister trapeze act in Ringling Brothers' Circus. Their slogan is We're the flying Kings, who fly without wings. Jerold Stafford was nominated baseball player of the year. He plays for the St. Louis Cardinal Club, which is owned by Allen Varvell and managed by Roy Brown. Another of our athletes, Betty Everett, is now the star of the professional bas- ketball team, the Redheads. Ronny Fagan, a famous photographer, sells many of his photographs to fashion magazines, for he prefers working with women. Two of his models are Sue Shelton and Jackie Mosley. Mary Budewitz is now Mary Lankford, the wife of Jackie, who is manager of the Malden Bakery. The Tri-County Hospital, located at Malden, is headed by Doctor Dale Kinder, and his head nurse is Helen O'Neal. The hospital's psychiatrist is Loretta Gourley.
