enior Class Prophecy It WAS the month of August in the year of our Lord. 1 955. when the World's Fair was being held in McMinnville, the metropolis of the Willamette Valley. We were arriving via the Yamhill River on the Pennyline Steamboat run by good old Steamboat Bill” DeVall and Man O' Leisure” Small. We were engaged in a grand conversation when we puffed up to the dock of the home of our dear old Alma Mater. While we were rushing around gathering our baggage, whom should we encounter but the steward. John Wisecarver. He immediately began lecturing to us about his petition for more and better missionaries for the head hunters of Borneo. We hastened down the gangplank and were met by the mayor. John Baker, and his wife. Ruth Breeding. Behind them was the world's famous discordant band led by Rodney Minnon, the champion clarinet squeeker. Farther down the street we noticed a very dense crowd. Elbowing our way in. we found Norma Hoffman lecturing on The Whys and Wherefores of Woman Suffer-age.” This was too much for us, so we hastened on. but stopped abruptly in order to avoid a collision with Ed Keinle, the fish peddler. We asked the way to a hotel, and he referred us to the De Lazy Hotel run by Handsome Bob Tuttle and Shorty” Elmo Oleson. Entering the hotel, we were greeted by Velma Jones and Lucille Leonard, the bell hops. After the usual scramble for baggage, we learned that John Mekkers was the official dishwasher with his wife. Marjorie Newbold, assisting him. Ross Coughran was the chef. After engaging our rooms from the clerk, Marjorie Kerr, we decided to see the fair. The first booth to attract our attention had a purple and green sign which read Critcher-Wyffels Youth Cream. Hastening in we found Louise in a very talkative mood. We learned that John Wortman, the president of the First National Bank, had left with his wife, Betty Pray, on a honeymoon to Reno. Bob Smith, our class debater, was pearl-diving off the coast of Sicily. Willene Wann was showing a display of baby clothes put out by the Hoffman-Hessemer Manufacturing Company. Leo Bride and his wife. Olive Lerum, were operating a radio station over which Einstein Sanford gave a review of his book The Seventh Demension. Picking up a papef, we noticed Esther Pattey’s comic strip. Falconer, the Soap-box Orator.” Some customers came in. interrupting our conversation. Who should they be but Lola Spencer, Thelma Shreves, Goldie Stephenson, and Alberta McElroy. Time was going on, so we bade them goodbye. Across the street was the San-do” Theater run by Delmar Sanders and Eldred Dodson. The picture showing was The Shock of ’55”, featuring Ruth Hall and Leslie
