CLASS PROPHECY Iune I, 1970 The other day, I began wondering what had happened to the old Class of '52. I telephoned MARY KITTLESON, who is cur- rently starred in the show Legs Maggie. She is not married yet, but she and ROBERT RUSHTON, the famous quartette tenor and trombone player, have been seen together quite frequently in IAMES FEENEY'S Iewelry Shop. While I waited in the phone booth, the operator courteously made the connec- tion. When I told MARY who I was, and why I was calling, the operator, IOANN RUSH- TON, who just happened to be listening, said that she could help us. She also brought us up to date on the latest gossip. We agreed to meet in front of the building in which IOANN worked. When MARY and I arrived, there IOAN SAGE was with IOANN. IOANN explained that IOAN was working as a sec- retary for the big boss of the phone compa- ny, BOB COOK. IOAN told us that IANE ANNE CANNEY was married to WAYNE GALLINGER, a wealthy businessman who owned a chain of gas stations and afield of oil wells. IOAN said that ELSIE BRADLEY was working as a secretary for RUSSELL KNUDSON, the famous optometrist. We walked several blocks out of our way to get to BILL MORGAN'S Coffee Shop. While in BILL'S Coffee Shop, someone played that new recording, Yodel Blues, by that great hillbilly singer, HARVEY HOTSPURS I-IEAP. Iune 8, l97O Somehow or other, we managed to get all these people together a week later. I dug up a list of the old Senior Class and found out that seven of the members were unable to attend. I began drilling everyone. I finally found out that CHUCK ANDERSON was con- tacted but could not come. As general man- ager of Ioliet's first TV station, he had to work that evening. IOAN YOUNG, the first lady president of the U. S., was to make a personal appearance at the station the next day, CHUCK had to make all the prepara- tions. BOB COOK was there and he brought his wife, BILLIE DITCH. They also brought their five children. No one seemed to know where AL STEG- MAN, ART COOP, IOYCE WINTERBOTTOM, and MARY MCKANNA were. A while ago we had learned that AL and IOYCE were cele- brating their Tenth Wedding Anniversary with their family of six lovely children. Of course, everyone knew that ART and MARY had been married, too, and they had a large family, also. We began phoning all the ART COOPS and AL STEGMANS in the telephone book and finally succeeded in getting MARY and IOYCE. They happened to be spending the evening together watching TV. It was impossible for them to come, as their hus- bands were members of the famous Chicago White Sox, and they were in New York playing baseball at the time. MARY and IOYCE were watching the game on TV and had tucked all the little ones in bed. It was so much fun talking to them since they couldn't be with us. They also were able to tell us that GRACE FERGUSON was in Alaska teaching the Eskimos foreign lan- guages. Well, having my curiosity satisfied, l, ED SANDSTROM, went back to work writing my latest book, Life in the l950's.
