' PROPHECY As we were lunching in the Mills Restaurant at Columbus, who should we see at the next table but Roberta Brill a former classmate of ours. Roberta joined us and we began talking of our high school days, and what had happened to everyone since graduating. Roberta then told us she had gone be- yond her wildest dream and had become music professor at Capital University She also told me about her cousin and our classmate Duane Slessman. It seems that Duane is now living on a farm south of Attica. Alone ? ? ? ? ? Of course not. He has married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Marshall, and they are living happily with their four sons. Just then we heard someone say lawyer and it brought to our mind none other than Jordon Holthouse the roustabout of our class. It seems .T ordon had started out to be a minister but ended his college career by becoming a professional Lying Lawyer. The waiter then served the cream puffs for which we had been patiently waiting. We talked of how delicious they were and then we were told that they had been made by the famous cream puff maker, none other than Mrs. Roger Van Dyke. Mrs. Van Dyke is better known as Dora Buurma to us. . After finishing our lunch we took a taxi to tour the city. While riding about we saw a large store that reminded us of the Moore Super Market in our home town. The proprietor of the market is also one of our chums, Evelyn Newmeyer. The question of help is no problem to Evelyn and her husband as they have plenty of help with their five children. We thought we would like to see the airport, so that is where we went next. Who should we see coming toward us but, wait let's look again to make sure, yes, it really is Gerald Shirey. He told us that upon graduating he went to California to Aeronautical School, where he became quite famous for finding the shortest distance to Mars. He is now head man at the Air School in Colurnbus. We also learned from Gerald that Erve Sharpless had joined his brother in the Army Air Force and now has been commissioned a Lieutenant. He is stationed at a large army air base in China. Erve as usual is still getting along with the girls. Zl
