CLASS PHUPHECY Time: 1954 Place: North Baltimore, Ohio The other day as I, Shirley Diller, came in from my huge chicken farm, southwest of town, I decided to have my car serviced. I drove up to the Hi-Speed Super Service Station on the corner of Main and Water Streets, and who should I find but Gerald Bassitt, manager. In the course of our conversation, we brought up the subject of our former classmates and what they were doing. Here are some of the facts I learned about them: Pat Church has now become Mrs. Merlin Swope and they are living on a big cattle ranch near Hammansburg. Iohnnie Hamlin now lives on his 500 acre farm west of town and is doing so well for himself that he is now the proud owner of a new convertible. Kenneth Zeltner also has a nice sized farm just north of town and his wife, the former Audrey Parsons, can even milk now. Mildred West, another of our classmates, is living on the farm with her husband. They are really enjoying this nice peaceful farm lite. Wallace Lobdell is now a professor of Business Arithmetic at Vassar, a girl's college. Bill Benedict is now the basketball coach of the Galatea Tech Raiders. He has had many fine teams during his short time as mentor. Eleanor Toth now has her own Shorthand School in Denver, Ohio, and is doing a rushing business. Sara Trautman has completed her college education, and has taken over her sister's place at good old N. B. Mary Kelley and Bernice Archer are now operating their own jitter- bug school, and their most faithful customers are Betty Wissler and Ethel Lobdell. Maxine Williams is now Superintendent of Nurses at City Hospital in Toledo. Belden Freed is now chief demonstrator for the Mazda Electrical Company. We all remember his demonstrations of ultra-violet lights in chapel. This Page Sponsored By POST OFFICE
