NINETEEN CLASS PROPHECY Finally my husband is letting me go back to Mentone to see some of my old friends and classmates. We had been married 10 years now, the result—10 children. I just had to have a rest away from them. On the plane, I met a tall stewardess with long brown hair whom I recognized as Janice Rohrer. She had a 3-day leave in Mentone and offered to show me around the town. I accepted. As we landed, the huge air port impressed me. Janice told me that Curtis Binkley had built this after a brilliant 6-year career in the Air Force as an Ace Pilot. We hailed a cab to take us to our hotel. Whom should we find driving the cab, but Bonnie Cochran! Bonnie took this up as a career, after receiving the World's Safe Driv- ing Award in 1958. We congratulated her, then inquired where we could get a good meal for the least. She said there was a nice little restaurant around the comer from our hotel. The name of it was Eat Well and Feel Swell with Alfred Dorell. Yes, it was the same Alfred with whom we had gone to school. After taking our bags to the hotel and fresh- ening up, we walked to the restaurant. The wait- ress who waited on us turned out to be Sue Borton! Later, Janice told me that Sue was till going to college. She had failed at 5 al- ready, so she was working her way through the 6th. Seeing Sue reminded me of Sue's pal, Dor- othy Christian. Janice said that Dorothy was married to a short, little fat man and lived on a chicken farm just outside of Mentone. After eating, we took a ride to see the city. Why, some of the streets had from 6 to 8 lanes of traffic! I asked how Mentone got the money to build them. Janice told me that Ronald Secrist had inherited a large sum of money, and in- vested it here. Now, he is living off the profits from the tolls paid. ■ We told the cab-driver to stop and wait while we went into a malt shop where we heard a jolly man singing folk-songs in the comer. Keith Besson finished singing, then came over to us and sat down. Asking more about our classmates, he said that Dorothy Kendall de- signed clothes for a large dress shop in New York and was acquiring fame all over the world. Fred Anderson manufactured basket- ball trunks that hang on the hips attractively, without waist bands. Dwayne McKinley was following in his brother's footsteps and attend- ing Manchester College. Glancing at the paper which I had bought, I read that June Romine, Janet Romine, and Leah Nell Lemler were bound for Hollywood— Leah Nell playing the piano, Janet and June singing. Beverly Tinkey went along as their agent. Keith said that Tom Hoover was still throw- ing in those baskets. He had played college basketball to gain a lot of attention. Now he coached in our own Mentone High School, with Junior Clampitt as his assistant. Janice and I started toward the school house. Going to the office, we found Joyce Eiler be- hind the secretary's desk. She showed us into the principal's office, where Jim Unzicker sat. He welcomed us and pointed to the T. V. he had been watching. We looked and saw Charles Feldman demonstrating on his farm. Oh, the farm was enormous! Then Jim told us that Glen Davis was now training for the Oly- mpics. Both Charles and Glen had gotten into the fields they liked. Janice and I left the school building about 5:00 p. m. We went to the hotel to dress for dinner. As we entered the escalator we met George Fitzgerald and Dick Goshert. They ac- knowledged our greetings and offered to ac- company us to dinner. We accepted and later, they told us that they enjoyed being bachelors. We asked if they could tell us more of our friends. Dick said that Richard Haupert had joined the Navy and was overseas now with a wife and 2 children; and that Dale Kindig was a foreign minister to Great Britain. George said that Larry Horn and Larry Long went into business together. They owned the Long- Horn Cattle Industry of the State of Louisiana. After boarding the plane I noticed Jim Eaton in the seat next to me. Jim told me he was trying to get his invention patented. It was a power control outfit to distribute chairs on the gym floor in the proper position for boys to run laps. Arriving home, I was relieved to find my 10 children safe and sound.
