NG The Echo ee CLASS PROPHECY You have heard the history of our high school days and our last will .and testament as we leave; now let us look into the future, May I take you to St. Louis where the olass of 1943 is holding a reunion in July, 1953. Ani What a beautiful day it is here in St. Louis... As fi gaze from the pier where our boat is docked, I see several friends fathering for a reunion. This group graduated from the Maroa High School on April 50, 1945. This is the first time in ten years that they have met. They seem to be having a wonder- ful time reminiscing. Come with me down to the boat and meet a few of the classmates as they arrive. I am anxious to meet and talk with my old classmates and pals of M.C.H.S. Look whom I see immediately! None other than Judge J.R. Miller and his wife, the former Charlotte Creekmur. Well, life's like that. A little behind them comes three girls: Betty Daviay Audrey Jump, and Edna Matheney, still pals as they were in '43. I am informed by Charlotte Creekmur Miller that they are nurses at the great Research | Hospital in Chicago. Well, wéll, well, I can. hear Cy Young comings, loudly dis- cussing sports with Dean Burns. You might know Cy would be talking about sports. He tells me that he is a ee oe for the Cubs and Dean Burns is the sports writer, Here comes Mary Current strolling leisurely along. She's made a name for herself, The public is enthusiastically prais- ing here latest picture Don't Keep Him Waiting.” It seems there is always a teacher from every class and we are not lacking hépeeess LT ie eee thet Bernard } Liorgenthaler is a famous Agriculture teacher. I see coming toward the dock two old pals Wesley Gardner and Dick Tuggle. They always said that the farm was the life and they have proveca it by being successful farmers. fin aquaplane has jus alighted! Who could the pilot be Oh, it's an Aviatrix, Jo Ann Longsdorff, and the stewardess of . the pica is noné other than Irene Mee, She always seid she'd be one. Among the passengers I see Mrs, Barney Hinkle the former’ Virginia Cramer who is making great achievements in music, Louise Dial now New York's debutante, of the season and Barbara Marlatt, hostess of St. Louis's largest notel, Nice work girls!
