He came home and June went They now have eleven children and more. her husband was in the indoors to her housework. June says she wants ten It was hard to find him his own company. He sells supposed to cut any hair very short. So short, in fact, that you can't see it. Nsrt I found Harold Purkey. as he is a traveling salesman for automatic hair cutters, They are I then looked up Marilyn Thaxton. I found that she was no longer in Hisingsun. Her parents told me that hor boy- friend had been inducted into the army and she had joined the womens army soon after graduation to be near him. He was sent overseas so, Marilyn applied for overseas duty. She found him in Paris, France. They were married immed- iately. At the present time Marilyn outranks her husband. So, every time he sees her, she makes him salute. At this time I began to get hungry. I decided to eat my dinner at the Hotel Rising. Who should walk up to me but Bob Shawl He told me he was owner of this resturant and a chain of others. He was also chief cook in this one in Risingsun. He served the best spaghetti and meat balls in northwestern Ohio. As I was eating Donna Lehmann walked in. She told me she was modeling in New York. She recently tried her hand at designing. She has designed a new evening gown made of fish net. She calls it nThe Peek-a-boo.n I asked Donna what had become of Don Norman. She told me Don was managing the trucking department of the AkP. He has three men under him carrying groceries to the cars of frail young women. On the side he has started a lonely hearts club for young men and women. His slogan is: nLook before you leap into marriage.H By this time I was finished with my dinner. As' I walked out of the resturant I bumped into Doris Ponsetta. She looked quite different than when she was in high school' When in school she was exceptionally small and now sho was much bigger and quite muscular.

PROPHECY fCON'Tl v- sl, -.- I asked about Harry Kemenah. Doris told me that Harry owned a beauty salon in Risingsun and a chain of others across the United States. He has a new hair-do called the Elephant Cut. It is cut short except a spot down the middle which is braided and stands straight up in the air. Next I looked up Idonna Kehres. While in school Coach wanted to be her wrestling manager. After graduation she bought Mom's Lunch Room but, decided resturant work wasn't for her. Again Coach approached her about wrestling so she decided to give it a try. At present she has never lost a bout. She has won every championship wrestling offers. At the present time she is engaged to the 'Blumpn and plans to retire from wrestling after marriage. I asked Idonna about William Gangwer. She told me he was running a gasoline station in Bradner. In the last few years he has tried his hand at inventing. He has invented a new gasoline. You fill the tank on January l, and after that you Don't have to fill it till the next year. When this gasoline is in your car, all you do is pull a lever, which by the way, Willie invented, and your car goes up into the air and you fly for hours at a time. Willie married soon after graduation and has a large family at present. Next I looked around for Ruth Ann Bell. I she had gone west. She now owns and runs She has about ten thousand head of cattle back every day as she inspects her cattle them no matter where they are or what the was told that a big cattle ranch. She rides horse- She inspects weather is. She has invented a new cushioned saddle. Of course, she was first to try it out. After finding out about Ruth, I looked up Everett Brewer. After graduation he had gone to college and had taken an executive course. After college he decided he would manufacture something that all women would need sooner or later. So, he became a manufacturer of women's girdles. His girdles are known as nThe four way stretch.n I next found Marie Hiser. In school she always liked to sing. After graduation she went to a music conservatory., After years of study she finally broke into operas. She told me she had an engagement next month to sing at Carnegie Hall. She has had very good notices so far from all the critics. I then wished her luck and went on my way.
