CLASS PROPHECY Dear John: I hear the class of '54 of Plainfield High School is having a reunion. From what I hear they're going to have it at the famous Plainfield Athletic Club 0Wf10d, Of Course, by Crosscorner Castetter. As everyone knows Mr. Cas- tetter also owns Beano's Place , formerly the C8aE Drugs. One of the class- members attending has just returned from a world hot-rod tour in his famous Pink Lady. We're talking about Hot Petunia Long. All of the other members have gone out on their own and are living very successful lives. Neil Alexander heard the call of Go west young man, go west , so he went NORTH. We heard that Bob Bare is head custodian at Indiana Boys School and that Joan Lewellen is now district manager of Kro- gers. Also somebody said that they had seen Tom Calbert in a hardware store the other day still looking for a left-handed paint brush and some striped pain . Jim Copeland just bought out the Plainfield Block factory, fell in a vat of cement and they're still chipping him out of it. I heard that Bob Durell was very happy over his promotion to chief engi- neer of rockets at the Easy-Pop-O Firecracker Company. Don Groninger is water boy 1n chief of the Cartersburg Creeps. He's too small to play football :afraid he'd get hurt. Boretta Holzknecht is starting fullback for the gallant reeps.
