Prophecy of ' 44 On April 1, 1960, the Juniors of ' 44 strolled into the Cheeaetown court room for Juvenile Delinquencies, finding Everett Ringenberg, a flat-footed lawyer and prosecuting at- torney, trying his first case before the ever famous Judge, Paul Watson. Thinking back over the years, we remembered him as a timid sort of chap, but there was none of that present in the harsh Judge now. Of course he had gained weight in a few places. Getting back to Everett, we find him cross-examin- ing Mary Sheefel for breaking the windshield of a ' 32 Chevy. Peeling sorry for Mary, we returned to our Helicopter and Jovirneyed across country to Hollywood. Flying low over the city, we noticed a huge billboard which advertised cosmetics. It may seem a coincidence, but at the same time the radio brought us news of the grand opening of a concert this evening, sponsored by Wilma Custer, pr esident of the Custer Lipstick and Rouge Corporation, and Marcella Furnish, who is in some way connected with the Hurni Cream Company. We all vowed that we would attend the concert. Since we were tired, we parked our Helicopter and rested until early evening when we decided to get something to eat. Looking up the street, we saw a sign in Neon lights reading ' •Don ' s Place. ' ' Wondering if it could be the same Don we used to know, we went in. We were greeted by a hearty voice and many handshakes. Sxire enough it was the Donald Romine itho used to auctioneer Bermuda onions. He said he still does only he has added hambvirgers to them now. After we had finished eating, we continued on our way to the concert. There we were greeted by a burly doorman, known as Wayne Worman, who, they say, had once been accused of bigamy; but maybe that was all propaganda. The band struck up a lively number and Lo and Behold I didn ' t every one of us recognise Evelyn Kline, now the leader of her own swing band. Featured with her band was Betty Rudolph, famous toe dancer for M-G-M, and Donald Warner with his crooning poetry and his one and only pupil, Harold Murphy, the second Frank Sinatra. After the concert we flew to Chicago to the much famed Hoover lodging house, whose proprietor was none other than Jacob Hoover. Just before going to our assigned rooms, we noticed a very distinguished looking gentleman in the lobby. He proved to be Wayne Grogg, who specializes in raising Pure- Bred cattle. Just then one of Hoover ' s regular customers came in. He was none other than Donald Friend, now a champion hog raiser. The next morning as the Juniors left to go home, Danald and Wayne were enjoying themselves in a nice quiet quarrel, which could be heard for two miles, over which was the more profitable — Pure-Bred cattle or Thorough-Bred hogs. — by the Juniors 23
