ir if CLASS PRCJPHECY if 'Ir This perhaps not so brilliant letter was written to Lieutenant Paul Shrey of the United States Occupational Army in Germany. It isnlt the best or the most nearly correct message you have ever read, but to some- one away from home it gave those newsy little bits of information that were longed for. Between the lines Paul could read that the world was at last getting back to normal again. Please do not judge this letter according to the standards of correct English, but merely by the lift it would give to a tired, home-sick man. Montgomery, Pa. May 21, 1958 Lieutenant Paul Shrey Berlin, Germany Dear Paul, 1Well, soldier, you will soon be coming home again, but youlll never recognize the p ace. Why, just the other day I ran into Mrs. John Waltman. She was the former June McMillen, and, Paul-you will never believe this, but she has five children. At least that is all I counted at one time, but then I saw a couple more come up to her soon after I left, and I presume they were hers, too. They were very cute and well behaved, but-well-I could just hardly believe my eyes. Her husband, John, is the chief caretaker of the Susquehanna Heights Cemetery , and as I understand, has a thriving business. I must also tell you of the engagement of Maxine Eck to Harold Opp, but you'll re- call that they always were wild about each other, so that isn't really any surprise. Her diamond is as large as a goose egg. We received a letter recently from Margery Pauling, who is at the head of the Secretarial Department at Juniata College, and tells us that Kathryn Baker, head of the Homemaking Department, will soon be transferred to a larger college. I attended a symphony concert last Friday night. It was really the most wonderful I have heard in a long time. Dunning Stamets was the director. He was so impressive and dignified. The symphony entitled The Barrel House Blue Room was written by Eugene Beeber. He always did have an ear for music, and at last he is receiving the recognition he deserves for his great talent. We have heard recently that Zena Widell has gone back to New York and is trying to perform her household duties, which is a difficult task when five children are involved. Lloyd Miller, the big boss of the American Store, and Shirley Temple, the cashier, have been seen at the Stork Club doing the rumba. Imagine that! How surprised we were to read of Byron Kilmer's heroism in a naval battle in the Twenty-four

Following this there was a big parade in honor of Byron, which was led by Reba Reese, the still youthful looking drum majorette. And, Paul, you really must go to the Waldorf Astoria as soon as you come home. Dorothy Opp is the leading dietitian, and the food she prepares is really delicious. Eugene Houser, policeman for the city of Rabbit Town, caught the bandit, Elwood Harer, in the act of stealing jewelry from the store of Roberta Wolf, whose establish- ment is the oldest and best known in that city. Carl Hessel is now secretary to Mr. Robert Shireman, who owns the Diamond Slipper Night Club and who has employed William Drum as Master of Ceremonies. The Rotary Club held a beauty contest and none other than Eleanor Bastian was the winner. She was crowned queen at a party held at Mr. Shireman's night club on Saturday night. My, but she looked lovely! Frances Hartzell was the runner-up. Harold Foust, Keith McCormick, and Carl Farley-three prominent men of the city-were the judges. Lois Warner was awarded an E by the government for never missing a day in the ten years that she worked in the American Aircraft Corporation. She certainly is to be commended for her regular and unfailing attendance. ' Robert Russell was awarded a prize at a party that Jane Hall gave last night for be- ing the most bashful boy present, but we never found out what it was because he was to bashful to open it. Fae McMi1len has been dancing for the soldiersg but now, I understand, she has married a multi-millionaire, who was struck by her beauty and grace. As usual, Helen Louise Herman is writing prize winning essays, only this time they are on the Tank Destroyer Division of the United States Army. Her nance used to be in that division. And you should see the unique establishment opened by William Henderson and Joe Mauck! It was created to give the time of the arrival of the busses so that members could go down and kiss the girls goodbye. The membership is very large, and the crowds waiting for the buses are really amazing. Well, Paul, all of the luck in the world to you, and may God see fit to send you home soon. Lovingly, Shirley and June P. S. Added by the censor. June Woodling wanted to be a secretary, but she received so many offers that she decided not to work at all. Shirley Mincemoyer has decided not to marry for several years, but to continue as a second lieutenant in the WAACS. Twenty-five
