CLASS PROPHECY As the marble doors of the fabulous Cafe '52, formerly known as the City Cafe, swing open, we hear none other than Jerome Qnstad, master of ceremonies, conducting the reunion of the class. Jerome, accompanied by his secretary from the class of '53, is on his way East to an important senators' convention, but has stopped over long enough to join us. Enters now the new mayor of the thriving metropolis of Raymond, Donald Fink, dressed in his plaid shirt and jeans. He is immediately followed by Jessie and Elizabeth, co-owners of the Graham Cracker Company. The spotlight falls on Betty Ann Rucker, captivating the spellbound audience as she sings her latest hit song, Valdino . The party is interrupted now by the low, muffled sound of an airplane. No, it's Willie Simonson, as he pulls up in his new Dodge. Entering, he is accom- panied by Dr. Dick Gross, who is now president of the Gross Optometrist Clinic. Jackie Nelson, who is now married to a dude rancher from Washington rises to greet them at the door. To my left, the three owners of Deck's Cafe, Betty Larter, Adelia Furst, and Anita Klifstad smile for the photographer, Carole Knutson, who now is news re- porter for the Redstone Daily Sun . As the music stops, I seemed to recognize the trombone-playing, orchestra leader. Why, of course, it is none other than Earl. Blow the Blues , Myles who has a hobby of raising crows. Here are Fay Mehl and Lois Stageberg. Poor hubbies must have stayed home. Fay is now head of the Mehl Interior Decoration Co. Inc. of New York City. Lois, it is said, is president of the National Draft Board. For a price she will see that certain men are not drafted. Donald Quam is now Superintendent of Plentywood Schools. Could it be that he had a little inside pull? Rita Grove, clad in an extravagent ermine coat, is accompanied by her hus- band, whose fortune is said to exceed that of the Rockefeller's. Is that a blonde head I see? Of course, it's RaMona Neggaard. My colleagues tell me that she owns her personal secretarial school for young men only. Who is that holding the attention of Violet Schunhrke? Why, it's Lloyd Soren- son explaining to her how he coached his fighting Kentucky Wildcats to victory in the Gold Cup finals in Madison Square Gardens. Violet is now engaged by the F.B.I. as their top secretary. Their goes Corrine Hatvick dashing out the door. She has to catch a plane to attend her daughter's graduation ceremonies. A familiar figure dashes after her. It's Diane Fretheim, who is now editor of the New York Times . She has to turn in her column containing the news of this reunion. Duane Wagenson,who sponsoredthis party, is tuning in the radio for the Grain Market Report. He never missed his own program. By the way, he now owns half of Sheridan County. If it isn't our Olympic swimming star, Yvonne Wilson. After taking the hon- ors in the Olympic games this year, Yvonne is now on her way to California to attend a National Swim Meet. As the party commences, I seem to notice that someone is missing. Upon inquiring I find that Frank Sano was unable to attend as his rocket ran out of gas on Mars. Frank has organized his own Interplanetary Express Company with stations on every planet. Oh, heavens, I became so absorbed in meeting my old classmates that I hard- ly relaized how the time was slipping away. I must leave now to meet my hus- band at the airport. The U. N. has called a special meeting for today, you know. Shirley 16
