CLASS PROPHECY One sunny morning in 1950 we were taking a long trip through the U. S. and Mexico. Our first stop was at a tiny filling station on the outskirts of Casper. It was a fine looking building and there were several fair-haired children playing in the yard. Imagine our surprise when Fred Hauf came out to service our car. He had been married for several years, he said, and was now doing a profitable business. Next we decided to visit a bird farm of which we had heard so much. Here, much to our amazement, we encountered another of our old schoolmates, Estella Fackenthall. She was now happily married to a boy whom she had known since high school days and they owned a new black car. In Lincoln, Nebraska, we chanced to visit a well-known school of music, where we learned that Helen Cable was giving voice lessons. At a museum of archeology we found another of our classmates—Nellie Strait. Miss Strait was working on the problem that has baffled scientists for ages—the evolution of man. Stopping at New Orleans we were astonished to learn that Faye Schilling was leading an orchestra in one of the well-known nite clubs. Leonard was acting as bouncer. We heard that Bette Doyle was now owner of a huge cattle ranch in Texas. Going to visit her we found that she was a prosperous business woman with a string of good looking cowboys at her beck and call. While traveling across Old Mexico we came upon another of the 1940 graduates—Pearl Newlon. Pearl was busily engaged in picking the spikes from cactus plants to sell to tourists as souvenirs. Of course we bought some. Pearl told us that her sister, Opal Newlon, now married, was in Mexico City running a restaurant. We stopped there and found the food wonderful and Opal’s husband likewise. On our return trip through California we were very pleased to find Robert Graham. Bob was now forestry inspector for the State of California. We were also happy to renew our acquaintance with his lovely wife, whom we had known at Ranchester. Traveling on we found Doolu Johnston in Reno getting another divorce— her fifth. She told us that she would seriously advise against matrimony. She was now a notorious divorce lawyer herself. Our next stop was in Minneapolis, the home of Jean’s fiance. I, Alice Jean Black, had been working in a newspaper office but will be married in June. After leaving Jean in Minneapolis, I, Carrie Lee Jester, made the return trip to Chicago where I will continue my position as secretary until August. Then, true to the tradition of secretaries, I am to marry my boss. Thinking back on our trip, we are sure that the Class of ’40 has fared very well. We were glad to have seen them all once again.
