CLASS PROPHECY In the summer of 1960, I, Jane Drew, being granted a month's vacation, climbed in my flying machine and took off for Colorado to visit an old classmate, Beverly and her hus- band, Kenny at the Flying W. Ranch. Kenny was away on a business trip, and Beverly, feel- ing herself in need of a vacation, left her three children with a tutor in a neighboring school and came with me to look up our old pal, Carol Kirsch. From the last letter we knew Carol could be found in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she was now a prominent baby doctor. We arrived just as she was leaving for lunch so we accompanied her. While talking to Carol she told us she had recently seen Waneta, while on a business trip to California. Wie se- cured from her Waneta's address, and journey- ed on to that point. We found that Waneta had changed her name to Juanita Swanson, well- known actress and singer. She told us she was getting along very well and was now engaged to a movie producer. After talking with Juan- ita, she informed us that Kate was living in Dallas, Texas, so we took off for Dallas. We found Kate and her two children busily clean- ing their house. We stayed for two days and met her husband who told us that he had im- portant business with Marion Sheets. We went to see Marion in his Bachelor apartment in Los Angeles where he was la business manufacturer. He had not yet marri- ed but was very happy. He cou1dn't tell us the whereabouts of any of our classmates so we journeyed back to good old Indiana to see if we could find anyone. First, we saw Ray and Lois on their two- hundred acre farm near Decatur. Wie met their sweet little daughter who was now four years old. They invited us to stay for the week-end so we gladly accepted. On Sunday afternoon, Fred and his lovely wife came over to dinner. They brought along their two children. Fred said he had been working hard on his large farm. Both Ray and Fred were important men in their comm-unity, as anyone would guess they might be. Saying good-bye to them early Sunday evening, we proceeded to go see Bob and Dorothy DeLong in Monmouth where they lived with their three children. Of course they were happy as larks. Bob now owned an elec- trical shop in Decatur. Dorothy told us that Marcella was married to a man named Bleeke, who was very wealthy, but they were on a trip to Cuba. so we were unable to see them. She also said that Arlene had run off with a travel- ing salesman. a fuller-brush man, to be exact, and no one knew where they were now living, but we knew that Arlene had found happiness. Next we went to the farm of Carol and Melvyn Frusch near Hoagland. Carol was washing and her three children .were playing in the yard. We chatted a while but she was very busy so we went on to see Frances who was married and living with her folks. They were just eating lunch so we stopped and met her husband and her four children. We visited the afternoon and watched Frances sew school clothes for her children. Then we went to Fort Wayne to see Phyllis. who was working for a prominent lawyer- Phyllis is now engaged and seems to be very happy. She looked the same as ever and still had her red hair and freckles. She talked of her future plans and soon our conversation drifted once more to our classmates. Much to OL1l' surprise she told us of Margaret who was teach- ing school at Purdue extension so we went to see her, We caught her in-between classes and she told us she had not married, but was very much satisfied at her work. Bernie, she said. was working in a private office in Muncie. She was not married, but was engaged to her boss. She invited us to accompany her to dinner and a movie which we accepted with pleasure. It was so late when we returned that we were obliged to stay all night. Leaving her friendly hospitality, the next morning, we took off for Indianapolis to see Rosella and Albert Selking. Albert now owned a string of hotels and they lived in a swanky apartment with their two children. Rosie said she just got a letter from Lucille who was liv- ing in St. Louis where she and her doctor hus- band were both working in the hospital. Luc- ille was in the heighth of her ambition as sup- erintendent of nurses. She was now very com- fortably settled after working her way up to her profession. We left Lucille to go to New York. There we were brousing around in an art gallery when we saw a beautiful painting signed by Glenda McClure. We looked her up and found she had graduated from art school and was now a top-flight artist. She had real- ized her ambition of being wealthy. We would have stayed but our vacation was nearing an end and we had yet to see Bettv Hockemeyer. She was a famous model for Robert Powers and she was married to a business manager. Betty was as slim and charming as ever. We stayed for a short while but we had to be on our way, so I took Bev to Denver and went on home. This had been an interesting experience and I was glad to see all my old classmates well and happy. Page Fifteen
