CLASS PROPHECY Time: 2:55 Phzre: Miami De.ftina1fi0n.' Interlochen, Michigan, National Music Camp JO ANN: As I boarded the East Coast Champion and was about to give the baggage to the porter, I hesitated and looked at him in bewilderment. I know I've seen that face somewhere, I said to my- self, and I started thinking about where I'd seen him. High School! FRED BOGLE, from my dear old Melbourne High School. As I found my seat on the train, my mind was full of memories of my high school days. It seemed like only yesterday that we were all close friends at M. I-I. S., and now I imagine we are scattered all over the world. For instance, MARY ANNE MCCARTHY is a professor at the University of Melbourne Where she and BILL TIP- PIE are enlarging their computer. In the last letter I received from MARY ANNE, I learned that SUE BREWER was getting married for the fifth time, in one of Melbourne's biggest weddings. I understood on her guest list was WALLY BECHT, the beautiful model from California, PAT MILLER, M. G. M.'s foremost understudyg LARRY BURGESS, president of Burgess Batteries, and MIKE GALLANT, Mayor of Palm Bay. I surely wanted to see the wedding but I had only an hour layover in Melbourne. I began to feel hungry so I headed for the diner, and while passing through the lounge I heard a deep voice, and there was CHARLIE NUTTING, behind the bar mixing drinks. I walked over and after talking with CHARLIE for a while, I found out that BILL TURN- ER, after six years, had finally worked his way up to Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. Another of CHARLIE'S friends, FRED VAN LENGEN, is now manager of the Brevard Drive-In. After hearing about CHARLES STRICKLAND'S noted racing abilities at the Brevard Speedway, I proceeded to the diner. As I was finishing my meal, I heard the porter call out, Next stop, Melbourne.

My old friend, DOT SPENCER, the socialite of Melbourne, arrived in her Caddy and dragged me to one of her afternoon cocktail parties. As I arrived, PAT HINES, the maid, took my coat. From the moment I walked in, it seemed like a class reunion. SHIRLEY NICHOLS was asking SUZANNE JOURDAN what she thought about their jobs since the new dial system was introduced when I met . . .
