SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY e After corresponding for the six years since we left school we, Charlotte Cook and Carita Ogle, decided to take a trip back up north to Wisconsin. Charlotte was married to Don, a professor at the University of Alabama, in 1949. Carita, who was married back in Wisconsin, and Dan were operating a ballroom in Miami. After all arrangements were made we started north. On the way we stopped in Memphis and were going to do some shopping when a policeman bumped us accidentally and to our amazement it was Tom Royer. We talked over our days as seniors in the back seats of O.H.S. and found that Tom was still taking life easy. Tom said Joe Luttenberger ran a farm implement store in a nearby city.—Joe wasn't farming after all. We stopped again the next day in Spring-field to fill Dan's car up with gas at a place called JOYBO'S. It couldn't be, but it was an old friend coming to the car. We asked him how everything was; he replied by taking us to his home. There we saw the former Joyce Culver, whom we were very pleased to see, and Joyce showed us their three-month-old daughter. When it came time to eat we asked Joyce to join us and finally she consented and we went to an interesting restaurant. The manager spoke to us before we recognized him to be our Alan Stopple-worth. He told us business was booming and that everything was very successful on his part. The next morning we were on our way again. When we drove through Wisconsin the sights became more familiar. Just around the curve in Oakfield we saw a new building —THE OAKS it was called; why, it's a new theater! After a quick visit to our homes we went to explore the town. We found out that the theater was run by two old classmates of ours, Shirley Kaul and Betty Lovejoy. Oakfield surely is improving. Incidentally, Betty and Shirley married brothers from Chicago. They said they met them at college. They invited us over to their home that evening, which we accepted. When we were talking of old times, Shirley said Herbert Emerson was practicing law in Madison, and Gloria Heimerl was singing with a well-known orchestra in Milwaukee. Ruth Case, Betty said, has been an accountant in a large firm in New York for four years now. More luck to you, Ruth. After inquiring around town for Myra Butler we found that no one knew where she was. After a week we started back south again. We stopped at a little hotel for the night. We went into the dining room and glancing around noticed a girl that looked familiar— yes, it was Myra Butler and her husband. They invited us to have dinner with them. It was during our meal that we learned that Myra was secretary to her brain specialist husband but was going to quit soon. Now we felt much better because we knew what happened to the class of '48 in these six years. Carita Ogle Charlotte Cook Page 7
