 PROPHECY In the year 1985 I decided to take a trip to visit all my 1960 classmates from old ’N.H.S. I decided to make my first stop California. I had just read in the newspaper that Gary Stabler, my old classmate, was soon to make a daring flight to the moon in his space ship. I was astonished when I discovered the pilot of my plane to be none other than Gary Stabler. We talked about old times and he told me Sam Berry was a very successful business man in San Francisco. When my plane landed I decided to hunt up my old classmate Sam. It didn't take me long to find him for when I entered the reception room of the airport I recognized him instantly. He told he was the President of the CUTE COOKIE CORPORATION and that his secretary was Mrs. Dick Foes, the former Carolyn Pratt. He said she had a lovely set of twins eight years old. Their names are Alma Jean and Albert Francis. Sam gave me her address and that afternoon I called her. I not only got to see Carolyn, but also Linda Shaner who had come over to talk about the twins behavior in school. Linda said she had been teaching for fifteen years, is unmarried, but is still hoping. Carolyn told me Butch Pratt had recently taken Arthur Murray's place as a famous nation-wide dance and ballet instructor. The next day I stopped by the studio to see him. He told me one of his star pupils was Paul Heberer I was so surprised I could hardly believe it but I guess their ROSEBUD performance was quite an incinitive. While I was still there Paul came in for his lesson. I asked him what he was doing besides dancing. He said he was manager of the Pierre DelMouse beauty salon in Los Angeles. The following day I boarded my plane for Austin, Texas where one of our more studious and quiet students, Alan Kaiser was owner of a hugh 3,000 acre dude ranch. His foreman Ivan Bennett met me at the airport and brought me to the DEW DROP IN ranch. Ivan said he was married and had a small family of 10 children. I enjoyed my visit very much and I was sorry to leave. On my flight back I found I was seated across for Dennis Yepsen and with his wife and children. They were just returning from the National Music Makers Hall where he had just conducted the Blast Away Symphony Orchestra in which his children participated. They were under the supervision of Mrs. Donald Kruger the former Verna Miller. I went to visit with Verna and she told me Dolores Moore was the head supervisor at the Kill 'em or Cure 'em hospital. I read in the papers that John Bennett is now the leader of the syndicate known as the Untouchables in Chicago. His only menace is trying to elude the Chief of the FBI who is Marshall Holmes. John's right-hand man is Allan Baby-face” Bates who can handle an atomic gun like A1 Capone. The two leaders of our class, Gary Coates and Jack Scott are carrying their leadership ability into politics. Gary is running on the Democratic ticket for Governor of Illinois and Jack is running for U.S. Senator on the Republican ticket. That is quite a surprise since he was a strong Democrat while in school. Now that my trip is concluded, I have gone back to my old job managing the old maid’s home in Neponset. I am looking forward to our next class reunion in the year 2010. EILEEN GOLBY «—■
