T H !• Zephyr SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 4 It was a beautiful day in September as I stepped off the bus in Neponset, Illinois. As I waited in the bus terminal for a friend to welcome me I was amazed to see John Gunning driving a bus that was just pulling in. John saw me at once and ran over to chat with me. John shared a candy bar with me and we began to talk about the afternoon game. It seems that Tom Fitzpatrick, Jr., is quite a star now. I was lucky this year as the water system in the school where I had been teaching broke and I took advantage of my day off to come home for Neponset’s annual Homecoming. I was looking forward to seeing the game as I have heard the team has been doing very well and to seeing all my old friends. While we were talking I glanced out the window and saw Barbara Curran drive up in a blue Pontiac. My it was good to see her again. I noted she had on her white nurse’s uniform. She must have just come from work. Barb was no more in the door when she suggested we all go to the game early so we might see a lot of old friends before the game started. On our way to the High School we stopped at the post office and who did we see but Ann. She and Dan were living on a farm south of town. Ann was full of smiles and appeared to be very happy. She didn’t know if she would get to the dance tonight or not. Cheri Luther hadn’t as yet promised to stay with the children. On the way to the game I saw a truck with J. M. Golby on it. It took me by surprise and I asked Barb what he was doing now. Seems he’s on the old Golby farm, doing just what he always wanted to do. We stopped and talked to John a moment then went on to the game knowing we would see him at the dance that evening. We parked our car and started across the football field. I heard a loud rattle and turned around to see a large truck rambling up the road loaded with junk. Gunning said, “Oh look, here comes Schmidt.” Arnold yelled out and said, “I’ll be over in a minute. Just as soon as I pick up some junk at Gunning’s.” Seems Arnold has a thriving junk business. As we were waiting for the game to begin, we decided we’d like some popcorn. As we approached the stand I thought I recognized Mary Ann giving orders to the Junior Class. Sure enough she was the Homemaking instructor. She talked to us a while and invited us to the Home Ec. room to see the changes that had been made. This page sponsored hy------------------------------------Sheffield Lumber Company
