CLASS PROPHECY One night as I sat watching and studying the stars, a thought came to my mind. I wondered if I could induce the stars to inform me as to the where- abouts and vocations of my High School Classmates of '59. I resolved to try, so I fixed my attention upon a particularly large and bright star and by super concentration I finally persuaded it to treat me with its secrets. The first thing I saw was my old home town. Many changes had taken place since I had last seen it ten years ago. My attention was focused to Kay Maynard who is now an English Pro- fessor at Indiana State Teachers College. Kay had finally achieved her goal for which she had worked so hard for during our high school days. Jeanette McMillin noted for her artistic talent in our high school days was away at the first showing of her latest series of modern art paintings at the Capitoline Gallery in Rome. I was told that Vera Richardson was accompanying her for a long awaited trip abroad. I decided to take a tour of recently completed housing development erected by the Arnold Rinsch Construction Company. I was surprised to find Mrs. Lee Kehoe, the former Lola Bowlin, living in one of the beautiful homes with her husband Lee and their young daughter. While driving through the business district a most unusual building caught my eye. I stopped, out of curosity, to see what it was. Three pros- perous young gentlemen escorted me in. They introduced themselves as Leo Whitson, Ronnie Hanger, and Frank Beaman, three of my former class- mates. They informed me their casino had taken all of the Las Vegas gambling trade. Leo insisted that my husband and I dine in their spacious dining room. While dining I glanced at the next table to see the former Karen Wolfe and her husband Neil Holcomb who is now a very successful graphical engineer. I stepped over to chat with them for a minute and they insisted on my husband and I joining them at a dinner party in our honor that evening at the Country Club. I accepted graciously and excused myself. I left my hus- band at the huge barber shop owned by Bob Bond and George Arthur. I de- cided to have my hair set for the evening and I was very much surprised to find Betty Whitson the owner of the exclusive parlor. I spent the remaining part of the afternoon shopping. I happened into an exclusive Lady Ellen Shop. I found Margaret Snyder the owner. She informed me that her husband Jerry Risley had given up trucking to manage the many Lady Ellen Shops throughout the United States. I bade her fare- well and returned to my hotel. My husband was waiting for me to freshenup for the evening so I rushed to dress. After arriving at the club the first person I saw was Janice Morrison. I rushed over to have a chat with her. She told me she was the Home Ec- onomics and Biology teacher at Oaktown High since the retirement of Mrs. Springer in 1965. Presently in strode the most eligible bachelor at large Bruce Mayall who is now an executive of the Prudential Insurance Company. Along with him came Greg Mitton who is a most successful civil engineer. After a while Bruce Leak and his wife, Ginger, happened in. Bruce is now an expert aero- nautical engineer. At last in came Kay and Larry Dardeen. Kay is the former Kay Ivers. She apologized for being late. She explained of her difficulty to get a baby- sitter. After a most enjoyable time I had to leave all my friends once again, since I had to set hair for the First Lady of our Land the next day. You see, I'm her personal beautician. Much later in the comfort of my own living room, I sat gazing at the stars wondering what they held for each of us. Kay Wilson
