TWENTY The Future Views of the 52s Let’s take a look into the future. It’s the year of 1963. We are at the largest air- port in Indiana on the southeast edge of Mentone. Well, look who’s getting off the plane that came from Miami, Florida. It’s none other than Mr. Kelley. He has one of the largest seaside hotels in Florida, with busi- ness really booming. He is getting into one of the Mellott’s Speedy City Cab cars. It is owned by none other than John Mellott, a member of the Class of ”52”. They have made themselves known and are talking over old times at M. H. S. John is setting Mr. Kelley up on all the news about the teachers that taught at Men- tone when he was in school. Mr. Pavlick is driving one of John’s taxies and is still looking for the right woman. Mr. Burt has given up coaching and is now Superintendent of County Schools. Mr. Law is now living in Texas where he owns a cattle farm and, by the way, nobody has stolen any of his steers lately. Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman are now living in Florida where they own the D.D.S.F. and S. C. (Dippsy Deep Sea Fishing and Suckers Corporation). They are known to catch some of the largest suckers in the world. (People, that is.) Mr. R. Kelly, our old maestro at M. H. S., finally gave up his band conducting. He now has his own radio show. It is almost unknown to listeners, since everyone has T. V. I wonder why he never made it on T. V. Miss Herriman has the largest Art Gallery in the U. S. It’s located here at Mentone, also. She helps the Art teacher at Men- tone, but her own art stores keep her plenty busy. Mr. Kent is the Governor of Indiana, and of course he is living in the Governor’s man- sion in Indianapolis. Mrs. Long is his pri- vate secretary. We spoke of Miss Herriman helping the art teacher, I suppose that you’re wondering who the art teacher is. Well, Roger Creigh- ton has taken over that job. And, everyone has said that his work is really wonderful. Here we are at the With-lnn Hotel. It is owned by Ned Witham. He also has a chain of hotels and they are known through- out the world. There’s Ned now. Shall we find out who’s working for him? Well, well, it looks like the old crooner at M. H. S. has really gone places. That’s Max Faurote I’m talking about. He has an engagement here at the hotel. Martha Creighton is the hotel’s dietition. It’s what she always wanted to be, and she has really done a very good job of it. Ned has said that he would take Mr. Kelley out and show him the town. They are stopping at the old hangout—Pete’s. It is now owned by Mary Esther but, her last name is no longer the same. She married her old boyfriend Lowell Long. And her restau- rant is the largest in the country. Georgia is head waitress. Even though Tub was in the service they got married. Georgia doesn’t need to pay out for a baby sitter. Tub stays home all the time and cares for their two children. Ned and Mr. Kelley walked past Starr Motor Sales. It was formerly owned by Mr. Cox. Pat, went in business for herself. She hasn’t married yet, but the boys still stand at her door. They stopped in at Pat’s. She told Mr. Kelley about all of her old girlfriends that she ran around with at school. Jackie is living on a farm near Etna Green. She of course is married to Tom. They have six boys. They own the largest ranch style farm in Indiana. She has always wanted a large home and family. The next is Geneva, she is married to Jun- ior. She has taken over full command. Yes, she is in charge of the head office at the Em- mons Chicken farm. It is located just east of Mentone. Ramona finally got Quentin talked into getting married. She had her plans all made so, as soon as Quent said yes,” they were married. Then he couldn’t change his mind.
