Prophecy It was a brightjune day in 1964, when my boss Cliff Harvey, who is head of the Harvey Model Agency told me that I was to tour the West. His wife, the former Gail Snyder, had designed all the clothes I was to be wearing. Before leaving Lucas I stopped to eat in janies restaurant. jane Moffett is mak- ing a wonderful success as a business woman. I had just got seated in the train and a very handsome marine sat down beside me. We started talking and Iwas certainly shocked to learn that it was my old class- mate, Ken Weaver. He told me he is making the marines his career. We soon reached Springfield, Illinois where I was to get off. I said good-bye to Ken and started on my way. I had walked about a block when I saw a sign Cox's Super Market. Due to CUI'i0SifY I went in and whom did I see but Charles Landis and his wife the former Mary Goodnight, a couple of my old classmates. They told me that they were partners on a chicken farm, and were doing very well. They also told me that this was Bill Cox's Mar- ket, and took me to his office. There I saw jean and while talking I found out they were married and she was his private secretary. Time passed quickly as the five of us talked over old times, and too soon I had to catch my plane. Several hours later I arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming. While there I heard Phyllis Dillon an old classmate of mine had a horse ranch near there. I went to a filling station to get information and whom should I see but Lanny Rorick, who is the sole owner. 'While we were talking I was told that Carl Williams was head mechanic, but was not there at the present time. I started out to find Phyllis, when I met Leonard Free who told me he was foreman of her ranch, and that she was vacationing in Florida. I left Leonard and went to catch my plane to California. I arrived in California and bought a copy of the Hollywood News. As I leafed through the paper I noticed an advertisement for Melvin Switzer's Copa Cobana, with his star singer Norma Culler. The next morning I took a bus to Los Angeles to visit Shirley Byerly an old classmate of mine, who is now married to a millionaire. While we were talking she told me that Betty Butterbaugh had just become the manager of the largest j. C. Penneyfs store in the state. I then took a train to Pasadena where I was to model clothes for Marie McLaughlin, heir to the largest lumber company in the world. We were sitting there talking and watch- ing television when the familiar face of an old classmate appeared. Dick Kesselring was being interviewed before the main event, as he was wrestling for the world champion- ship. Look! Neita Yarnell just came into the ring. She must have really liked wrestling. I then took a plane to Wichita, Kansas. I had just left the airport when I met Dixie DeFore, who is happily married and raising a family of six. She asked me to accompany her to the grocery store. Here we met Ted Moffett who had just flown out to become manager of the Red 8: White Store there. I then flew to Columbus, Ohio. I called a cab and headed for my hotel. As I was riding along I noticed a very beautiful place. The sign at the drive said Don 8: Dew's St. Bernard Kennel. I immediately knew it was Don and Dewey Pore's. About 45 minutes later I arrived back at my hotel. I ordered supper and had just sat down to rest when the telephone rang. Dave Thompson had heard that I was in Colum- bus and called to talk over old times. He told me he was now head of the State of Ohio Agriculture Department, and is happily married. My tour being completed I boarded the train for Lucas. I opened the magazine lay- ing on the seat beside me and saw the picture of an old classmate. There was a complete story of Calverda's work as a foreign Missionary in Africa. I couldn't help but think about the class of '54 and our days here at Lucas High School. I remembered what all of them had wanted to do and I believe they have ful- filled our motto! They Conquer, Who Believe They Can.
