PROPHECY as wfl W9re 9 rollinr along, we decidedtowalk down the street which was part of the new addition to the town. It was a wonderful night to be alive. It was 1958, and here we were in the metropolis of Plentywood, the greatest lumbering town in Montana. My, this must be that new uiuD '48. Let's go in and see what it is like. Strains of that new song hit, School Daze, with a special arrangement by the favorite com- poser, Dorothy Brenteson, floated out on the air as the doorman opened the door for us to enter. Why, that doorman looks familiar! It's Kerel Hagen. We read in tne paper the other day that he is opening a barber shop. He specializes in heinie haircuts. Still louder are the strains of the music—and why, that nimble touch sounds familiar. It is Dorothy B. herself, playing on her specially made Hammond organ with the marimba attachment. This must be one of the stops in her tour with the Kings of Swing. But wait, what is the announcer say- ing? Why, it's a reunion of the Tlentywood high class of 1948. That voice, too, sounds familiar. It is Paul Andrilenas who has his own radio program and who was recently named Dean of Commenta- tors. He’s known to most radio listeners as Smiling Andy, the announcer with that friendly smile. What's that jingle? There it cones now from the middle of the floor. Why, it's Harold Hil- yard, now sheriff of Sheridan County, dressed in his legal dress of spurs and six-shooters. It seems that the sheriff won his position through a certain pull. Careful of your spurs, Harold, those new length dresses catch everything. You doubt our word? Just look over at that table sur- rounded by men. If you look closer you will see that it is the celebrated Powers model, Mary Jean Rucker, and she has one of those New Look dresses on, too--or something! Speaking of looks-there goes a smooth dancer, none other than Red Johnson. Red is now coach of the Red Peprer football team, for red-heads only! I wonder if he still sponsors those sleigh rides on his ranch east of town? Who was that dreamy couple who just floated by? Oh, it's Nancy Ann Groce and that '48 gradu- ate of Gonzaga high. It seems as though he came to the city for the reunion of his former class- mates. Nancy is now teaching Hamlet at the local high school. It seems that her success as a teacher is due to the fact that she plays records made by her classmates and herself in their Eng- lish TV class. To top it all off, the students have reclining, cushioned seats in their classroom when they listen to the records. By the way, we wonder If she still uses her ouija board? Speaking of ouija boards, the great scientist, Dr.Robert Tower, has now perfected a new board that talks in eight different languages including pig latin.and on request it will sing the latest song hit. Also he has now invented at his creamery works a process by which the cows give ready- to-bottle chocolate milk when he feeds them special rills. Right now he is attempting tc get a strawberry flavor. All of his experiments are perfected on the dairy ranch of Paul Oolterman. Paul and his helpers, Duane Cnstad and Joey Askelson, have won acclaim for their milk which they sell for A.12 a quart. Not to be outdone by Dr. Power, these boys have invented reclining seats for the back row of the P.A.D. room. That singer sounds familiar. Of course, it is Joe Gallagher, the Swoon King of the age. Joe is not like most singers. In his spare time he plays basketball at Plentywood's Triangle Gar- den, where he has the highest scoring record of the season--70 points in one gcme--and all this with one arm in a cast. Listen to that applause. It is led by the Brenteson Big Four of which Dolores is the leader. These girls travel with Joe when he goes on exhibition trips and are his personal cheering section. But look, over there someone has fainted! Is there a doctor in the house? You had better call one because there isn't one here. That's strange because at the center table we have our honored guests from the hospital. There is Donald Norera, the painless tooth-pulling dentist; and Frances Godfrey, the optometrist who sees all, knows all, and tells you to buy glasses. I don't recognize the girl who fainted, but the man bending over her is Eugene Hendrickson, her husband. Eugene is the manufacturer of that new Trumpeting TromboneT the greatest invention in the music field. But here comes the doctor and look who is following him. It is Eddie Mount who is head ambulance driver at the hospital. Eddie works both day and night shifts. At night he is an ambulance driver and in the daytime he chauffeurs the special car built for 20 people which is owned by Loren O'Toole, the up and coming doctor. His assistant, Dorothy Redmond, the famous .ed- ical technician, h3d a special telephone installed in the car and it is ringing constantly. The reason? Dorothy, who is not only his assistant but is also a recent nominee for ’ htfs 'Vho, had the phone installed so that she could take care of her executive business and at the same time joy-ride. ’.Ve also see the three girls over there who work for the junior partner of the Flentywood Pop- ular Press, Tine-1 3ano. Tine-1 is not only the junior partner but also the operator of the lino- type and mimeographing machine. Those three girls, Frances Hagan, Ingrid Jensen, and Betty Pierce are the oorular Typing Trio. These girls now have their own car with a special chauffeur to take them to all the top dancing spots. Over there are three ether girls, Kuby Steinberg, argaret Stadstad,and Gertrude Simonson who are known as the Three Susketeers. These girls run a school known as the Susketeer's School for Struggling shorthand students. That must be the .club photographer,James Beulds, over there. Jimmy owns a photography shop, the Grin and Bear It. And who is he photographing? 'Vhy, it's onna Thunem, dramatics teacher at the local high school. Trior to her teaching career she acted in several Broadway productions. Her favorite play, A Date with Kenny, is now being reproduced at the high school. That's Vermae Johnson with her. Vermae was ”iss Thunem's private hairdresser when she was on Broadway. Now Vermae has her own shop where she specializes in facials, She guarantees to give vour face a lift. At the same table are some other teachers from the school. Marilyn rishbeck. the history teacher, is loved by all her students for the reason that during the last twenty minutes of class she allows the students to sleep or to listen to her witty jokes. Lois Peterson, dean of girls at the Daffy--oh, excuse us, we meant the Daffney School for Girls, is in the city for a visit. Lois has started a new trend in college life—lirhts out et 4 a.a.; rise and shine(?) at 7 a.in. Evelyn -13-
