Senior Class Prophecy Dear Marilyn, You have written me many times asking about your fellow classmates. Up until a few months ago I had not succeeded in keeping track of but a few of them. At that time I took my much needed vacation and here is what my trip uncovered. On the first lap of my journey I landed in DesMoines and who should I meet but Jack Hyatt. He was selling vegetables and eggs at a vegetable stand. He said they were fresh from the farm ----- his own farm, of course. As I walked on up the street I saw a poster which read: See The Champion ship Bout Tonight. Joe Walcott vs. Killer Willoughby. Do you suppose Killer could be a nickname for David? Having nothing better to do while I waited on my bus I attended a fashion show. I was enjoying myself immensely when I thought I recognized one of the models. Yes, it was Alberta Dabb. I didn't get to stop and talk to her but I gathered she was doing quite well in her profession. Rushing to the station I found my bus prepared to leave. As I handed the bus driver my ticket I was surprised to find it was a woman. Looking closer, I found it to be none other than Margaret Mart. A good bus driver too. A few days later we arrived at a small town named Brett, at which we stopped for a rest. While reading the small town paper I found the annual Hobo Convention had been held here recently. It had elected a king and queen, who were none than Herb Dixson and Deloris Willis, respectively. My thoughts were broken by a commotion outside. When I looked to see what was the matter I saw our trusty bus driver throwing out an evident stow- a-way. It was none other than Bill Miller. And when a big strong man came to the rescue, I recognized him as Lowell Boles. Driving through the big city of Chicago brought many new experiences, es- pecially when I saw Ed Davison sweeping the streets with his little broom and dustpan. Later as I walked into a large department store I saw Maxine Hunt hurrying out. I discovered this had been a big day in her life. She said she got tired of waiting, so she joined the Waves. Proceeding on up the street I met a woman dressed in mink and with jewels around her neck and on her arms. If she hadn't spoken to me I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized her as the former Jane Clark. From the size of the ring on her left hand I'rn certain she and her husband, Clifford, are quite well off. In a smaller town farther south, I decided to visit a home founded for the feeble-minded. I walked in and who should I meet but Norma Hansaker. She said she liked her work very much.
