CLASS OF 1948 PROPHECY After consulting Schiaparelli, a famous dress designer, to make sure that all of the women of today are properly dressed when they wear long skirts, similar to those their grandmothers wore many years ago, we find that they are. Not being convinced that the U.S. 1sn't going in the wrong direction in some respects, we consult Al Jolson, a man with many years experience in the world of music and find old songs are some of the hit tunes of the day. Having discovered this, the members of the class of '49 decided to go back to the so-called 'good old daysn and try traveling via horse and buggy. Our class had never traveled much, except to St. Joe, Garrett, and Hicksville. Nor had we had much exper- ience in the city so we decided to make our trip worth while in several ways and go to New York City. The caravan of fancy buggfes, the horses wi h decorated harness cause much excitement as we trave over the high ways and through the busy streets of the cities. Upon our arrival, we hunt a cozy little Inn because we are hungry. A large sign, having the letters M.J.R., attracts our attention. As we go inside we are blinded by the bright lights as well as,the bright colors. The ceiling of the unorowded dining room is green, the sidewall red, and the floor purple. The shiny brass table tops and orange seat covers, along with the pink lamp-shades, seem to blaze right out at us as we eat. We are met in the doorway by a gentleman dressed in a wine- colored suit. The man is courteous and anxious to help us. Loddng again we see the strangely dressed man is none other than Dale Gerig, head waiter at the Inn and as member of the class of '48, Dale tells us that Mary Jo Romine is the owner of the place. He then shows us into her office, where she and her bookkeeper, David Chapman, are going over the books. We wend our way into the kitchen where we see the head cook, Virginia Ulm. For old t1mes'sake she prepares a special meal for us. On the way back to our table. we notice another old friend, Lynn Lake now busily employed as the bartender. We are entertained while eating by Annise Bailey who is a dancer, attired in a blue dress. Patsy Draime is a blues singer, dressed in a long, slinky, black satin formal. After the entertainment we are attracted by a man dressed in overalls. He is Victor Timmerman, who has turned truck gardener, and he is applaudlng louder than anyone. All of a sudden we hear a scream, and a large crowd gathers about a young lady. Up rushes a policeman, or rather a policewoman, Phyllis Nusbaum, who keeps the crowd back. Someone has called a doctor who soon arrlves. We recognzze ner lnstantly as Phyllis Gregg, but she proves to be B V0t01'i1'19I'Yp not an ll.D. Luckily this made no difference because the patient was already dead. About this time an ambulance roars up the street and comes to a quick stop. Out jumps a young man in white, our old friend, Frank Laub. He finds he can do nothing for the girl, but he revives another girl who has fainted in the crowd. Imagine his and our surprisq for the last girl is Beth Cornell. Frank has to leave then, but invites us to stay in the city and see some of the sights. After all the excitement, we go back to the M.J.R. Inn and talk with Mary Jo. We ask her how she came to own an Inn in New York, and how she got so many of her classmates to work for her. She replies that she came to New York and had such good luck that she wrote all the class of '48 and most of them came to New York. Sunday morn we go to one of the large churches in the city, and we notice the minister, Bill Teegardin. His becoming a preacher BDDGKB us very much. After our slow trip to New York, we decide to purchase helicopters for the return journey. And guess who we find selling them? Everett Paschen. We enjoyed our stay in New York with our friends and have decided to return within a few years. BY CLASS OF '49 18
