Class Prophecy Well, here we are folks, and the big day has finally arrived. It is now May 26, 1964, and the reunion of the Class of 1954 of N.A.C.H.S. is about to begin. But first let’s meet some of the famous celebrities here. As I look over the crowd, I see the owner of the B-Bar-B, where the reunion is being held, Ronald Wagner, the famous horse trainer. As we move on around the crowd, we see Muriel Birkner and Joyce Behnken, discussing their new dancing routine with Sharon Walter, the owner and star performer of the Shamrock Night Club. As we fight our way on through the crowd, we see a group discussing political affairs. They are led by Ralph Wildy and Stanley Pannier, the political educators of this age. At our left we see Frank Karwoski, the football star of the Chicago Bears, and Allan Waeltz, the famous basketball star of the Minneapolis Lakers, discussing sports. Then to our right, we see the piano sensation of the age, Joyce Hofmeister, talking to Donna Wellenkotter, the famous opera star. In another group we see Irma Schulz and Marie Schneider, who are both happily married, discussing the problems of taking care of children. Byron Schmidt is talking over his farming problems with Walter Skorcz, the Farm Commissioner of Illinois. Mary Ellen Main and Jayne Ellen Utz are discussing their love problems with Grace Lehr, the famous Love Counselor. (Continued)
