CLASS PROPHECY May, 1961 Recently, when I decided to come back to Prairie for Commencement Exerc1ses, I little dreamed that I would be able to locate or hear news of all my old classmates It began at the Ph1ladelphia airport when I boarded an airliner for Chicago Imagine my surprise to find Ruth Pfohl, alias nPiffel', the stewardess I had a wonderful v1sit between stops She mentioned that she often sees falh ion editor, Lavonne Enge, on her flying trips to New York and Paris where she gathers material for her editorials She, too, had enjoyed Norma Lohr's tele- vis1on shows and Marilyn Meyer's stage plays when in Boston I was able to tell her that I had had the good fortune to hear Ph1l Sprecher and his all girl orchestra, 'The Heartbeats , at the Waldorf Astoria when I was in New York By the way, he's still playing the field Ruthie hadn't heard that Elizabeth Schlapbach is singing t1tle role in 'Carmen this season at the Met I must remember to get tickets when I go back We were overjoyed when L1ane Breunig got on at Indianapolis She had been ViB1tihg Priscilla Padrutt and her family in their swank brick mansion over- looking the city Liane and I gabbed about our careers Her company was sending her to Chicago to attend the 1961 Coughdrop Manufacturers' Convention Jeanette Saxer, famous authoress and lecturer, met ue at the airport and ac- companied us to Bette lheller s open house to celebrate her winning the 1961 Women's Yacht Racing Champ1onehip Betty Albertus was unable to be present elnce she is taking a trip around the world whlch she won in a talking mara thon contest on television Her outstandnng record was forty seven hours, sixteen mlnutes, and seven seconds, w1thout a stop' Margaret Schultz took a few m1nutes from her interior decorating shop to be with us Pauline Yarkie was able to join us between piano concerts She favored us with selections recent part1c1pat1on on the Ch1cago Round Table Discussion, where he added glory to his reputation as an orator, arguer, and debater Russlyn Keck dropped in for tea while off duty She's a supervisor of nurses in one of the large Chicago hospltals Russ told me that Marlye Taylor is a talent scout for RKO It 13 sald she places more men than anything else It seemed like old times to get together w1th the girls for a gab session Due to bad weather, I took the train to Mad1son I nearly passed out when I looked up to see that the conductor taking my ticket was John Lohr During our chat, he mentioned that on the Chicago Northwestern runs to Minneapolis he occasionally eats at a l1ttle Scandinavian delicatessen run by Donna Fae G1ese and her Norwegian husband They specialize in smorgasbord While we were talking, who should come up but Don Schwarz nTubby' was considering giving up insurance since he waen't getting rich fast enough He showed us a picture in a magazine he was reading Of course, we both recognized Robert Knox, male model for Arrow shirts and ties The weather having cleared, I taxied from the depot to Truax Field where I took advantage of Dorothy Petzke's Helicopter Commuting Service between Madison and Pralrie Dorothy is raking in money hand OVOI' fi-St' f0T 80 mall!
