CLASS PROPHECY Since we, Reva Klee and Marilyn Findeis, had cleared $8,000,000 on our bachelors’ home in New York, we decided to make a tour of the world. We called Bob’s Speedy Taxi to take us to the rocketport. In two minutes Bob Vrtiska was at our door. In five minutes we were at the “Die Young Fast” rocketport operated by Dan Hopper. He told us that he had gone into partnership with John Kotalik, who operates the “From Here to Eternity” mortuary. As we dashed to get our tickets, we collided with Janice Edgerton, who told us that she was employed by the President, and that she was running for President on the Powder Puff Ticket in the next election. When we were settled in our rocket and in the air for about an hour, our gyroyrister went dead. We made a forced landing in a strange country, which we decided to tour. We noticed signs reading Northern Heights, Western Vistas, Eastern Rendezvous, and Southern Isles, so we decided to visit these places. In Eastern Rendezvous, we bumped into Joan Blecha, Sharon Jones, and Ardith Kussman who were dancers in “Finny’s Follies,” owned by Larry Phelan. We entered a shop called “Little Chinatown” where we met Elane Bredemeier, who was wearing a silk kimomo. She told us that she raises silk worms and makes her own clothes. After walking several blocks, we met Clark Hunzeker in the midst of his fifty beautiful wives. He told us that Dave Daniel had grown a beard and become a stock holder in the Smith Brothers Company. Next we toured Northern Heights, were we found Allen Snyder raising goats. After consuming three quarts of goats’ milk we continued walking. We finally found an eating place, the Bon Bon Sweet Shoppe, owned and operated by Gerald Schultz. A few blocks away we discovered our old friend, Robert Larson, selling 5-way reverberator air pressure units. He was such a high-pressure salesman that we found our- selves purchasing one. Suddenly reaching a frigid and icy land, we hired Burton Straub’s dog team to take us to a higher altitude where we found Norma McClintock, now a home economics instructor. She was working on a new product called Blubber Bubble Gum, made from the blubber of a native animaL We learned that Western Vistas was 35 miles east of there, so we bought tickets for Chauza’s Choice Cruise, which was operated by Mary Chauza. On the ship we met Loren Murdock, captain of the ship, who offered to show us around. When we arrived in Western Vistas, wenoticeda huge building and discovered that it was the Govern- mental House of Confusion under the rule of the Poor Administrator. Carol Thompson. She is so per- suasive that she got a law passed to allow women to lie legally about their age. While strolling down a suburban street, we spotted Ronnie Gilmore talking to a young couple. Later we found that Ronnie is a marriage counselor. Next we noticed a sign reading, “See the New Super-Sonic Piano, Starring Pamela Fields.” As we passed the door of the building we overheard her playing the D Minor Symphony from Outer Space. Ready to start on our way, we saw a limousine pull up to the curb and Francis Peacock get out. We learned that he was a scientist and had just invented “Space Struck,” a new lipstick in dynamic shades of jade green and mustard yellow. He told us to be sure to attend the bullfight scheduled to start in a few minutes. We hurried to the arena where we found Jim Adams as the challenger. Just as we were seated, who should come by but the “peanuts, popcorn, crackerjack man. Chuck Johnson. In the exit of the arena we discovered Joan Rinne, who disclosed that she was planning a trip to the moon to prove her theory that it is not made of green, whole-cured cheese, but of green cottage 'cheese. As we left the arena, we passed the famous ”Lou the Jew Pool Room.” Lou Haverkamp had Dennis Shaffer by the collar and was ready to heave him out, but he politely waited until we had passed. In the Southern Isles, we found Albert Larsen as a movie director. One of his best movies was Nothing But Trouble, which starred Eldon Jameson and Doris Tegtmeier. Doris told us that her dentist was Barbara Fay, who operates her husband Jim’s dentistry business while he is in the Navy. After leaving Doris, we collided with Ronnie Habegger, the owner of the famous dance hall, Drink and Drop.” Just around the corner, we met Juanita Sommerhalder, the head psychologist at the You Are Crazy” nut house. Right behind her we saw Lew Flanagin, the famous hula dance instructor. In the dense foliage on the other side of the city, we found Shirley Blecha patiently teaching the natives not to lick their lips before the next meal’s main course. Continuing our journey through the jungle, we came upon a golden palace. Here we found Mary Bennett, who told us that her husband was the governor of the cannibals and that she was instructing the cannibals in up-to-date etiquette and flirtation. After leaving Mary and her husband, we came to a clearing, and there was our rocket ready to continue its journey. We were indeed ready to leave this strange and mysterious country. As we left we had to confess that we had had an exciting and thrilling time meeting all of our old classmates and seeing what course each one’s life had taken.
