TEN YEARS FROM NOW AS we gaze into the crystal ball, we behold: The former Kathleen Anderson and Hazel Brown, neighbors in the bustling little village of Bowgreen, standing in their respective doorways, awaiting the arrival of John and Vern. Farther down the road, a large sign, illuminated by candles, which reads: ANDERSON AND KUNKLE INCORPORATED Dealers in Second Hand Jalopies Dating from 1900 on, Bill Fink, Head Grease Monkey In the more prosperous section of Bow-green, still lamenting the younger generation, Betty Barton, is working in the office of the Finklestein establishment. In the outer office is Miss Grace Geiger, the receptionist. In a cornfield outside of town, John Baughman, fiendishly chasing a rat with his new steam shovel of w'hich he has just become owner and operator. Howard Bickerstaff, now on the Navy team, racing toward the goal line, water bucket in hand, as his wife, the former Audrey Ludwig, cheers madly. Lloyd Bickerstaff and Sammy Snead on the Country Club greens. Sammy says to Zeke, “Hand me my putter, caddy.” Faye Blank, still hoping to grow an inch or two, coming out of Madame Zatezalo’s Beauty Salon. James Brewer, his lovely pompadour slightly grayed around the edges, sitting in front of his fire place and smoking his illsmelling old corncob pipe. At the station the thus far inseparable friends, James Campbell and Paul Brinker, bidding fond farewells. Paul is leaving fop California and James is going back to his gruesome job as head office boy at the Westinghouse. Dorothy Benson, lounging lazily on the divan at her apartment, munching on a cream puff and thinking of her by-gone school days. Arthur Chew, hanging out of the window of his pent house bachelor apartment, showing George Klavonick his latest model plane that really flies. James Cross tearing down the road at breakneck speed. He is just coming in from a transcontinental run. Dallas Cupps, Charles Opela, and Leo Kostik fleeing from a hotel as the manager throws their instruments after them; their last engagement wasn’t very successful. Lunching at a nearby restaurant, Helen Modar and Stella Weyandt, waiting for their former mate, Olive Larch, whom they have not seen in five years. Robert Campbell, cheering wildly from his position on the bench, as John McClain drives across the goal line for the touchdown which puts the Steagles ahead 6-0. Mabel Greer teaching her three-year old daughter to play the clarinet so that she can fill “Mugz’s” vacancy in the Penn Township High School Band. Anna Hlavsa reading the latest comic books. Upon looking more closely, we observe that they have been illustrated by Harry Kennelty. Outside of Walter Molt’s Tavern, Sup-ansik's beer truck, still driven by John Hlyva. Betty Holtzer telling her pal, Audrey Siegfried, how she bowled 301—she knocked off the pinboy’s wooden leg. Mary Jane Kohl being tried for bigamy. (They all came home at once.) Ritta Kolleda, the court stenographer, is tearfully taking down the court notes of the trial. Lester Painter, home on leave from the Navy, talking to Robert Katkowski, who is still holding up the light pole on the corner of Main Street. At the county fair two of our classmates proudly holding up the blue ribbons which they have just w'on for their hobby displays: Ruth Wolfe, for her pencil collection; and Olga Slak, for her penny collection.
