CLASS PROPHECY From the Warriors' ceremonial grounds came the faint, steady, thump of a tom-tom, low and vibrating. Steadily its thumping pounded out the year nineteen hundred and fifty-three. Yes, We had agreed five years ago that we would again assemble when we should hear its magnetic call, and though I, Iomayne of Hollywood, the exclusive designer of Marshall Thompson's clothes, was flying down the Erie tracks on the new atomic Streamliner still I was drawn by its impelling sound. As I entered the familiar surroundings, my eyes were strained to see who might be causing the alarm-but then I should have known it would be our former tribal princess, Betty Germann. I soon learned that Betty was running for the presidency of the United States, and by the time Mr. and Mrs. Harold Adams appeared upon the scene, I was drafted to pass out Germann for President buttons. Harold is a popular radio comedian and singer While Delilah is the owner of Rices grocery store. While we were discussing old times, who should drive up in a convertible but Leroy Carmean who is now the greatest play-boy of Bo-Bo. With him was Dorothy Mottinger-Bennett-Faurot-Mayor-Brown-Myers-Gackenheimer, the gay divorcee, and her lawyer Raymond Prior, who is now devoting himself to the legal aspects of Dorothy's many love affairs. Dorothy had come especially to see Anna Lou Switzer, a confirmed old maid, who now writes the famous column in the Ohio City Progress Advice to the Love-lorn. Our eyes were drawn toward the back seat where sat Rita Stahl, Dorothy's private secretary. and Sylvia Hoghe, a famous psychiatrist. Rita's only iob is to keep in touch with Dorothy's ex-husbands about alimony while Sylvia's fame is due to her ability to keep all of Dorothy's husbands from going nuts. During our old-fashioned pow-wow. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sutton and Don- nie Tr. ioined us. We discovered that Sutton had bought a ranch and named it Sutton's Acres. Gus and Mary's Dude Ranch is located next to Sutton's Acres. They specialize in raising thoroughbred horses. Among the members of our class who have become world famous are Ianice Ragon and Charles Iohnson. our great scientists who have developed a system for sharpening pencils by the use of atomic energy. Suddenly in the distance we heard the faint echoes of galloping hoofs! As they drew nearer we could distinguish the outline of a man-yes, it was Iohn Taylor galloping along on his pink elephant Pee-Wee, chasing squirrels. A close second was Whitey Krugh in his big car-transport filled to the brim with little Crosleys. Whitey drives for the great firm of Bud, Inc. Bud talked his way from traveling salesman to President of the firm. lust before arriving at the reservation, Whitey had left a Crosley at the Smalley's Ned, Ioe and family, that is. Bob Galloway. a flying agricultural teacher arriving from Detroit, stopped on his way through Toledo for Marie Medauah, the head nurse of the mental institution. Since, they noticed a sign R. Roehm, owner as they were pass- ing an elaborately decorated country estate they decided to investigate. When they found that it was their old classmate Bob, they asked him to join them. The next to arrive was Lloyd Balliet. who had derived so much pleasure from his high-school studies that he had devoted his entire life to gaining new degrees. lean Hertel soon breezed in from the Barnum and Bailey Brothers Cir- cus where she is employed as The Tall Lady. The last to make an appearance were Marilyn Switzer and Helen Mc- Dorman of Slim's Reducing Salon on 59th Street in New York. They brought with them a remedy for the ''little-on-the-plump-side girls with which they hope to increase their business considerably. This has indeed been a great reunion, for we had again become iust plain Iohn or Mary, but at the close of the day as we went our separate ways we sadly returned to our professional titles of Mrs. and Mr. Before we parted, however, we all made a solemn vow to re-unite in 1958 to review our memories of school-days in O.
