Class Prophecy IT WAS ONLY A DREAM By Yvonne Rarick, Patsi McCone, and Nancy Millard I awakened suddenly one morning from a long and unusual dream, I think it must have been caused by something 1 ate or else it was that horrible late, late show I watched. Anyway, it was about all of my High School classmates, me and our chosen professions several years after we had graduated. In my dream I had become a cosmetologist starting up the ladder of success. While working in my new shop one day, a dear friend of mine, Nancy Millard, came into the salon for a day of beauty - complete with a hair style, facial, and manicure. She confessed to me that she wanted to impress her boss, and because she was his personal secretary she thought she had a pretty good chance of hooking him. Her boss turned out to be none other than Andy Palik, head of a large construction firm. Meanwhile, Connie Ball, who worked in my salon, was tending to Constance Blackwell, head of the secretarial pool at Willbur and Winter Enterprises. Doug and Mike had recently called in the famous, modern architect, Bruce Katz to design a new laboratory to replace the old one, which unfortunately, the chief scientist, Timothy Bemis, blew up in another bad experiment. While Nancy and I were conversing, my manager, Patsi McCone, came over and invited us out to lunch. We went to a newly opened cafe and, to our surprise, it was owned by Pam Thenen. While we were eating, Larry and Fred Goheen came into the restaurant. They informed us that they were home on leave from the Navy. Recently, on a trip to Viet Nam, they had had the privilege to talk with Jeri Paradine who was now a top social worker in that country. Jeri was at that time in a hot debate with the top leaders of North Viet Nam. The scene of my dream then changed and 1 was back in my old home town, which was now a much larger city than the settlement I left after graduation. 1 was visiting Larry Hughes in the Tekonsha General Hospital. Larry seemed to enjoy being ministered to by his pretty nurse, Sally Groholske. He told me he had suffered his injuries when he lost control of his race car. When I asked what had caused this, he explained that he had caught a glimpse of the Nation's top fashion model, Dianne Van Winkle, getting ready to present the trophies. But fortunately, under the skillful hands of the hospital's top surgeon, Denise Boshears, Larry's life v as saved. Larry Russell was also a patient at the Hospital. Upon inquiry I learned that he had suffered a broken leg while chasing his beautiful secretary, Debra Upston, around his desk. His wife is suing for divorce and who should be handling his case but the ambitious lawyer, Michael Bagley. Likewise, Mike Sweet is doing an excellent job as a playboy and part-time lawyer. I also dreamed of Leona Weller, who went to college to find a man and has devoted her time to catching a Reverend. I visited the home of Jim Osborn in my dream and was greeted by a screaming herd of kids with sticky hands clutching lollipops. Jim was industriously wiring up an electric train for his clan. From Jim I learned that Professor Martin Palik has a part-time job of destroying new, as well as old chemistry books, a natural trait carried over from his high school days. Jim told me that Elaine Marshall was working hand in hand with Smokey the Bear to conserve our forests. I also found that Telephone Operator, Debbie Mullen, and also Dave Rowe had been taken into custody for phone tapping. They were apprehended by F. B. I. agent, Brian Kelly, Again the scene of my dream changed and I was walking by a barber shop run by Dennis Slone. Dennis is now the highest paid barber in the United States. Sitting in his chair was Gary Goheen. Gary told me John Phelps and he were starting a farm. He revealed that some day soon they were going to try and cross cotton and blueberries so that it would be possible to dispose of clothing by eating it. I discovered Dick Hampton also working with Dennis. Dick is one of the top male hair stylists of the era. His unique hairstyle, the Mopia, is catching on all over the globe. From bits and fragments of my dream, I gathered that Linda Lambert was writing a novel about her trials and tribulations of being a hippy in California, and that Penny Reimer, after graduating from Olivet College, was starting up a jewelry shop with Carol Frizier in Old Town, Chicago. To top it off, Linda Ray was operating a vampire supply house not far from them. Linda's two employees who keep the blood bank filled are Janice Clark and Alice Thomas. I was awakened by the final vision of Janice and Al, with a gleem in their eyes, watching Janie Jenkins as she walked home from her job as a key-punch operator. I don't know if I should classify this as a dream or a nightmare but I hope no one has been offended by what I've said because it was only a dream.
