CLASS PROPHECY Dear Elmira: Well, here it is 1957! Just think, four years ago this June, we graduated in a class of 22. SmalI as it was, we still had a lot of fun. I received a letter from Dorothy yesterday. Fran finally got back from Texas, and they've now been married one week. Poor Dorothy. They set the record for having the longest engagement in our Country's history. I hear she's been working part time at the Roxy in Cleveland, so she can have a family. They're stopping off on their honeymoon in Africa, to see Tony Schlauch, who has become a witch doctor. Toots modernized the tribes, by teaching them the polka. By the way, he is addressed by the title of Father Boombash now. Remember Ellen? IHow could you forget her!!!) She's been raising chickens in Kansas somewhere. Nobody knows just where abouts the town is, as her husband and her are quite busy. After all, chickens and children are quite hard to manage, and she's got nine of the latter. She's only been married four years, but give her time. She always was a fast worker. I was so happy to read that in the election last November, Frank Janos was elected Sanitation Director of Lane Road. I bet he's so proud he could bust. Did you see the latest issue of Time? Boy, was I suprisedto see Carle's picture on the cover. Seems he's been appointed as Ambassador to some region around the Amazon River, or some such thing. Carle always was interested in the customs of the Amazons. Srart boy, that Carle. I heard that Nellgean Keener has been very ill lately. I guess it's just over-work in the studio. M-G-M sure has been doing good with Nellgean as their star. She always was pretty good at acting in high school. Remember how Gordon always said he would never get married until he was thirty? Wei I, he certainly didn't stick to that very long. Here he is, only 22 and celebrating his third wedding anniversary I certainly don't see why he married the girl he did. Maybe I should say old woman, as she is twice as old as he is. Rose and Carol carried out their ambition. They went in training together for air I ine hostesses. They both have been chosen Miss Air Line Hostess of 1950 and 1951 respect i vely. You can't imagine how suprised I was when on television the other night, Marge Smith, under the title of Lulu , won the championship for the women's wrestling division. Hurrah for Marge. To skip to the other extreme of art, I heard where Don Barto is the lead dancer with the Sader-Wellis Ballet Company. Boy, I was glad to hear it. By the way, the orchestra conductor for the ballet was John Cunningham. John always was interested in music. Talking about dancing, remember how Shirley Wyant was always interested in it? Well, she got married and lives in an igloo up in Alaska. Now the only person she dances for is her husband. Ralph certainly succeeded. After being an usher for so long, he finally saved enough money to open his own theatre. I guess it opens in a few months with a stage show. And guess who the star is! None other than Gerald Judy. From what I hear, he real ly sends the girls with his crooning. I've never seen him, but his records are really good. Just imagine! Ted has taken over the place of Charles Atlas. I guess he really showed us. Lois now works with an acrobatic trapeze troupe. How she can balance five people on her shoulders, I don't know. I stopped into the Stork Club the other night and when I went to buy a pack of cigarettes, there was Vida. After talking a little while, she told me to go see who was in the kitchen. Guess who was the head chef? None other than Don CrawfonJ. Boy, has he gained weight? Philip Spiesman has been promoted from head launderist to manager of a diaper service here in town. Lowell finally succeeded in making his Model A over into a Cadillac. How he ever did that, I don't know. ( Philip Chapman is not an American citizen anymore. He is in charge of the King's Harem in Egypt. What a job! Well, that's all for this time, Elmira. I'll be seeing you. PI ease write soon. Twelve Elmer
