Senior Class Prophecy Dear Mom: Time certainly flies, doesn't it? It was 10. years ago day before yesterday that I stood before the graduating class and public of Oakville and read the prophesy for the Senior Class of 1950. Day before yesterday I thought I would lock up my classmates and see how many of the prophesies came true. First I found Lois Bennett because I was sure that she flike I predicted? had married and settled near Oakville. After chatting for a while I asked where I could find my old pal Joyce Witt. We went into a big office building and found Joyce was a successful business woman, giving orders right and left, she always liked that sort of thing, my predictions were slightly wrong about her. I said she would be married with 5 children. On the way back to Lois' I passed a big modern looking building with the words Oakville Herald, Donald Gibson, Iiditor and Chief, and I wondered if this could be the kid we used to call Windy, just then the door flew open and a voice boomed, Get that story or else, I decided that it was Windy. After dinner I drove out to the Grace home to see Mary. It's remarkable how she has changed, she doesn't even look smart anymore, and the way she smiles so sweetly at her husband anyone would think he was the Boss in their house. Mary told me I wouldn't have any trouble finding june Wagner 'cause she was secretary to the well-known Bookie Vance Conklin. Back in 1950 I predicted a matromonial basis for these two. I didn't get to see Carole Berg because she and her husband were on their third trip around the world. You know I predicted she would travel. I did, however, manage to get an interview with Dona Cissner in her private dressing room. Shels an opera singer you know. Bob Scammel is a big hit on radio and television as a comedian. That's another place I was wrong in 1950. I thought he would be an auto racer. His brother Bill, of course, is great in the sports world, especially basketball. I couldn't locate Glen Logan or Jim Wolf but I heard a rumor that they have set up a partnership and are developing an entirely new system of book- keeping. I am one of the few I predicted correctly, for here I am a spinster of 27 still looking for my millionaire. I C609
