And We Hope The Future ls Dear Diary. Today I saw one of my school chums, Barbara Dege- lx It's ner, who's collecting material for her new boo: the answer to every Shorthand student's prayer that there must be an easier way. She's entitling the book Dt-gener's Dandy Doofersf' This started me wondering, and I decided to find out for myself what's become of the rest of my 1950 classmates. llereis my full report: At the theatre tonight. Beverly Myers is billed to sing the lead in julian l.ivingston's new production, ll'iulel'- limi'-his sequel to Sumnzcrlimc. I notice the accident rate has hit an all-time high in Indianapolis. I wonder il' it's because -lane Kennedy has been promoted to Supt. of Nurses at the Methodist Ilospital? tI,ittle does the public know she's married to the most handsome doctor on the staff.l lt's been several years since Butch XViechers opened his famous dancing school. IIe's champion rug cutter now. Pat Iirav. owner of the Riverside Holler Itink. also gives lessons on how to do her new dance which she calls Suicide on Skates. Dave Ilcbcrden has advanced from K-P duty in the Navy to Admiral. S.D. lS.D. for Super Dnperl, and his brother Don luis opend a Drive-In in every port. famous dish of the month is Dons Drippy Delight. Ilis Hob Coughlin plays the hottest trumpet in town and has his own orchestra now. llis special feature is the new comic dance team, ltay and Clue. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Gibson h,ive combined their talents to form the greatest sensation of the year. VVell, I guess that's the long and sltort offthat. I 4 U rj 9'-I Ronald Thomas has finally met the needs of the people in Speedway by constructing a hotel almost equal to the size of the Empire State building to ac- commodate the race fans. By the way, tomorrow's May 530, and I bet things are really popping back there. I hope joe Etter keeps up the good work in the 500-Mile race this year as it will be his fifth time to finish in first place with his Etter Special. Barbara Patterson is secretary to the new Governor of Indiana, Charles Martin. She isn't satisfied with her present abilities, however, so she's attending night classes at Indiana Central Business College where Doris Mfhite is President. David' Thomas has taken over Mr. Salleeis job at Speedway as Assistant Coach and Driver's Training teacher, while john Cuion is still working hand in hand with Digger O'Dell. johnny owns a flower shop, you see, and his business is blooming. june Essig is doing fine in the literary field as she's now writing a series of joke books. They take the prize because of their originality. jack Fuller, cashing in on his journalistic abilities, is now Editor of the Chicago Sun. As I remember my classmates and their desires, I notice I've kept to my resolutions as I've never married and still live with my cat Whisker, That reminds me, I must take him to Dr. I. D, Crawford tomorrow. I know Donny will know how to cure his severe case of 16 ingrown toenails as he's now a successful Vet and specializes in such delicate operations. George Seymour is better known as Uncle Georgie. llt-'s replaced Uncle NVally-reading the funny papers with tales of his famous adventures, back in the good old days. -Ioan Toomey has advertisements in all the New York newspapers reminding the well-dressed women to go to Toomey,s Torchy Tunicsn Dress Shop when they buy. Dolores Higgs, Mary Ann Bische, and joan Simmons are making their debut as actresses in the moving pic- ture, Mother NVore Blue jeans. They got their start in Hollywood by a good word put in by Ronny Bland who has taken advantage of living in California by be- eoming a star besides being All-American center for four years. Margie McDaniels is doing very well modeling clothes for Betty VVicker, the top designer in California. Everybody's going to California-must be because of the atmosphere. Kenny Vincent has become a justice of the Peace. It seems a few remarks he heard about the work and pay of the township officials got under his skin and he just couldnit resist the opportunity. Pat Bennett has been looking for a stenographic job and was happy to get placed in john Zore's office. IIe's a psychiatrist now, and really enjoys looking into people's deep, dark pasts. I received a letter from Phyllis Brown todav. I guess she's succeeded in becoming a school teacher, as she tells me she's now in charge of several little Muggs. Pauline Parke has half interest in the new chain of Cenung Drugstores that are sweeping the country. Need we say how this came about? Dick Kaufman is working for the government in helping to develop a new P.O.P. bomb. Heis really in a booming business. Dick Boles is busy with his ambition to become a millionaire. There's several details involved, you know -but, he's got a good start as he and Dick Mason are co-presidents of the Lock jaw Chewing Gum Factory As they both like the environment, they'll probably stick to it. Sandra Long is making history as the first woman coach in basketball. Her magnificent team, nicknamed the Droopy Drawers Dribblers, has a record of 52 wins, no losses. David Ledbetter made the headlines by run- ning from New York to Podunk in 6 hours and 3 minutes. Turning to the domestic side, Cordelia Ratliff ther new name has slipped my mind? is setting up house- keeping in Lizton. She's got a cute house with a white picket fence and all. George Vance is manufacturing his new Zipmobile. It's best feature besides being low in price is that it runs 60 miles per gallon. I guess that about takes in everybody, so I'm- Sincerely yours, Marilyn Smith, Class Prophet
