PROPHESY- Dusk had justfallen on the Oakwood cemetery and there was an air of gloom and mystery hanging low as the full moon shone down on the large white tombstones. It was on this night ten years before that the Class of 46 had departed into the cruel world of despair. It had also been planned that exactly ten years later the Spirits of 46 should arise from their grave and look into the great Monticello Distress to see what had become of their ormer classmates. The famed mortician of the town had promised to bring all the necessary information on this fateful night. As the rather pale figures sat chattering away, picking over all their classmates, they realized how good it was to hear the old familiar names again. When they finally,got around to reading the paper, the name of Theona Aldrich struck them right in the eyes. She had gained the highest position attainable in Iowag she had become the president of the Boys' Reform school at Eldora. Reading a little ways further, they discovered that two of their former schoolmates had gained the position of scientists. Professor Joey Appleby had just developed a new method for iiea control, and Max Schrader had met with success and had been hailed as the second Einstein. He spent years pondering over a way to perfect his latest invention,-berets for boys' hair. To their great surprise Ron Paulson got in the news, as a hero w o went to the jungles of Saskatchewan, eye- ing the savages sternly until they turned and fled. Next they came to a little news item about Betty Smith. As everyone knows she was the famed author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn but she had now revised the old edition and changed the name to Down in the Sticks . Phfen Bob Thoeni had become famous. In a recent flight in his rocket ship, he won renown by discovering a polecat on Mars. Another interesting bit of news then caught their at- tention. Paul Ladehoff was practically another Tommy Manville. He had already been divorced eight times and had the gleam in his eye again. And speaking of mar- ria es, Elaine Behrends had eloped with Charles Atlas ang they were musclebound in a double ring ceremony. She was at the present training to become the world's greatest lady wrestler. Unfortunately, Helen Gerdes, alias Minnie Ha Ha, was at Independence because she thought she was a flame and tried to blow herself out. As they turned to the Society Page, they realized that many of their classmates had become movie stars. Look- ing down the list of movies, they came to the name of Betty Bartlett who was starring opposite Tex Ritter in a wild west thriller, called, San Francisco Here I Come , or Sandspring Isri't Very Far . They were very much surprised to come across the name of Ken Kiburz, who was discovered by the Metropolitan opera because of his unusual singing voice. He had been called the second Frank Sinatra because of his frail physique and was introducing the famous booby socks. The Ziegfeld Follies of 1956, had claimed Joyce Lange as their star. Lavern Schoon and his accordion were the main feature of the Philharmonica- Symphony Orchestra in New York. His latest hit was Choppin's Cowboy Serenade . , Betty Eggers had developed the art of the hula hula dance, and Gene Kuehl accompanied her on the ukalele. They were now playing in the little theater off Monti Square. Audrey Oltman was billed at Zimmerrnan's Ballroom and was singing with Jess Huggins and his X Convict band. ' Bob Otten wanted to be a great violinist but he was caught fiddling around with a bank safe, and now was up to Sin Sing playing for his cell mates. All of the boys and girls seemed to have a lot of hidden talents. The most surprising ones were Delphia Balster and Harry Reade. They were now famous poolroom dancers at Pink's Waldorf Astoria. Lucille and Elinor Bartels had also become famous be- cause of their dancing ability. They had become a bal- lerina team and were starring in Twinkle Toes . Jose Schneider fooled everyone when she married Big Chief Charlie for now they had a little tribe all their own. Mary Lou Allamand and Thomas Aldrich were also married and because of scarceties of rooms, were living in a manhole and were cooking with sewer gas. As they looked on the Shoplifter's Page, they found that Phyllis Null was a face specialist and introduced the new Dutch Cleanser face cream to keep that schoolgirl complexion, also famous for its power to take those bags away from ones. eyes after a hard night. 'Ilhley also spied the name of Bill Hintz, alias the Burp , and saw that he threw up his job at Pink's Pool Room to start manufacturing Pond's gunpowder. He was really a big shot now. Clarice Siebels even had an ad on this page, stating that she had bought out the Adams livestock business and could promise better beef than Buckner's. Betty Rae Morning was advertising her famous apart- .ment house, better known as Poker Chips Flat. Hlelen Jean Kopp seems to have fallen in the same pattern, for they saw she had established an old men's 110116, called Ye Old Resting Place for discouraged ma es. Wilma 'Wright seemed to be doing all right for she had become a teacher at the Loras Boy's College at East Dubuque. Carleta Morning had taken a position at the Amber depot and was waiting for her train to come in. 1 Bob Chisman and Helen Mardorf were united in a single ring ceremony at Starwood, and were now running a beauty saloon. Their famous slogan was A Drink With Every Kink . Colleen had taken over Frank Walker's position as head of the F.F.A. Another surprising article revealed that Irma Jean Pickett had attained fame as a designer for Esquire. Turning to the worker's page, they saw that DeLoris Dirks was now working in a yarn factory and had be- come one of the famous bathing booties. Betty Lou Null had become foreman of the road gang on the Lincoln Highway. They always knew there was something fishy about Dorothy Jacobs, for she was now a deep sea diver along the banks of the Kitty Kreek. Beverly Harms was doing her bit to aid society. She was now head of the Salvation Army at Scotch Grove. Turning to the criminal page, they saw to their amaze- ment that Vivian Englebart, alias Bah Face, was a notorious-gun moll and just had held up tile First Nation- al Bank of Langworthy. John Brokens was now a criminal lawyer and had been busy handling the case of Mose vs. Blondie. Looking at the miscellaneous page, they saw that Lois Mae Clark was fired from her job in the famous Fletcher Burlap Rug Shop because she was always cutting a rug. Carol Caspers was now living on one of the famous Zumbach ranches and was specializing in raising black Angus cattle. She just loved to hear the little patter of hoofs around the house. Phyllis Heyen was hostess at the New Langworthy Nightclub, called The Moonshine Stew Room. Mary Lou Hein was billed at the Old Mill as Cascade Caty, the Bubble Dancer. Margaret Condit had bought out the Twelve Mile House, and was specializing in foamless beer pills. Marvin Himebaugh was an undertaker and seemed to like his work very much, except there was too much stiff competition. Helen Welter was a welder at Slim's Welding Works at Sandspring. The next page, held news of the sports events of the year. It said that Louise York was leading a dog s life, and she had built the well known Beagle Dale Dog gafrri, and was also compiling a book called Jane Eyre a e' . Dick Skelley was now a new record breaker in sports, and was the new fifty yard Deischer. Galen Hayen had been appointed the new leader of the girl scouts. Rosie Schilt never had realized her own talents, for she was now winning the title from Sonja Henie as the world's greatest ice skater. On the comic page, in big black letters it stated that Chester Gould had finally found a real live model for Gravel Gerty, none other than Irma Schoon. Lorraine Buol had entered a nunnery and looked with suspicion at her former classmates. At last Frank Fitzsimmons in his desperation tumed to religion and entered the ministry. He had taken over the' parish at Prairieburg. Finally all the pages had been turned and the spirits sighed with relief as they laid down the paper. They seemed rather pleased with the results they had found with the exception of a few, and finally laid to rest again in the cold damp ground.
