Senior Class Prophecy In 1961, on May 22nd I boarded a Western Airlines DC-6 for Phoenix, Arizona. I was on my way to visit my husband who was stationed in the Air Force there. We had been married about ten years and I had spent most of that time traveling to wherever my husband was stationed. As I was sitting back comfortably in my seat knitting I heard a familiar laugh. I thought to myself I just can't be mistaken about that laugh. I'm sure it must be Ruth Mitchell. HI got up and looked around and sure enough there was Ruth just as cute as ever. That didn't come as much of a surprise but what did was, the handsome man sitting beside her, none other than Clayton Hoppe. I spoke saying, nHello, this is really a surprise, but a nice one. I'm so glad to see both of you. Please tell me all about yourselves.' Clayton said, HWell, Joyce, I guess you know I always did keep an eye on the girl who sat in front of me. After we graduated, we started going together and you can just about guess the rest from there on. But, there is someone you'll have to meet, she's coming up the aisle now. She's four years old and her name is Evelyn.H After I had chatted with them for awhile I went back to my seat to rest awhile before landing in Denver. It wasn't long before we landed and I got off the plane. I was told I would have to wait several hours before I could catch a plane to Phoenix. I decided to go into Denver and windowshop in order to pass the time. As I was walking down the street I chanced to bump into someone and upon looking up to make my apology, I was amazed to see standing in front of me Leonard Austin. We both exclaimed simultaneously. HLeonard.H NJoyce.H We opened our mouths again to say together, HWhat are you doing here?N It was I who got in the next few words, explaining to Len where I was going after which I said, NBut, I still haven't found out about you.H He replied, NI never have married, I guess the right girl just hasn't come along, or maybe the trouble is that I haven't settled in one place long enough to become that well acquainted with someone. I'm a salesman for the United Steel Company and I travel all over the United States. I enjoy it very much and am happy with my work.N Hwhat happened to your twin brother, Lee,H I asked. He said, N0h, I saw them just a few days ago. Lee is running a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Of course you knew that he married Janet Greenawald, but I don't suppose you ever found out that they have two sets of twins, twin girls six years old and twin boys two years old. They really have their hands full, but seem to love the children very much and get along themselves just as perfectly as they did when they went to school together. I surely am glad that I got to see you. I must be getting along now. nGoodbyeW NGoodbye,n I said, HI hope I see you again sometime.H I continued to stroll around in Denver's fine business districts until it was time for me to go back out to the airport. When I reached the airport, I went immediately to the plane which was in. The stewardess was helping people into the plane. When she turned toward me she gave a gasp of recognition. Janet Seeger said, NWhy, hello Joyce. I surely didn't-expect to see you. I haven't time to talk to you now, I'll come in and see you later.H I said HAll right,N and went to my seat 10
