SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It's 1962, and the class of 1952 has all gathered here in Mexico for a reunion. As I enter Radio Station PATIO, where our class prominents are to be interviewed, the first thing that catches my eye is Joe's and Joyce's Muscle Making Gym run by Joe Allen and Joyce Slavin. Every adobe house should have songbirds and flowers, that's the slogan I see suspended over Peachy and Roses Greenhouse. Carol Rose and Peachy Hurley, who own the greenhouse, have employed Bob Breggren to sell his Tweepers, a special brand of songbird. There's a crowd gathered up ahead, I wonder what's the matter? Oh, a catastrophe, Richard MacDonald dropped one of his manglewortzels, and it had to be taken to the first aid department. The RN in charge is Marlene Borck. Hovered around the manglewortzel are Lila Brigham, Student Nurse, and Dr. Richard Brink. Janice DeGolyer, tamale maker, and her rival, Monroe Stanton, tortilla maker, who are at last on friendly terms, have rushed to the scene of the accident. Here comes Donald Stuart, prominent Naval Reserve man, to administer respiration to the poor manglewortzel. As I step into the elevator on the way to the 150th Floor, I see to my astonishment that Dorothy Samchisen is running it. The great tycoon of the snitchel market, George Meyers and his secretary, Millie Thompson, are on the elevator, too. They're headed for millionaire Bob Ranck's office on the 197th floor. Bob, by the way, will long be remembered in Mexico City for his generous donation of Radio Station PATIO. Here's the 150th Hoor, and what's this? . . . why, there's a whole line of shops and stores. There's Loretta Straley's French Fashion shop in which Alice Hall is the imported French model. Betty Malloy, airline hostess, and Peggy Espey, owner of Espey's Telephone Company, are gazing into the window. The offices of Corey's Courier, a newspaper published by Barbara Corey, adjoin the fashion. She specializes in romantic poetry. There's Robert Kline going in, wonder who he wants romantic poetry for? There's Joan Kadlec, who runs a home for waifs and strays, rushing up to greet Ethelyn Huff, interpreter at the UN, and Lionel Peterson, architect, who designed the radio station. Here's something interesting, The Tall Timber Tessie and Tim Club, founders, Debonair Dale Hurd and Jumping Joyce Palmer. The sign bears the signature, Florence Kendall, commercial cartoon cutter. Captain Jack Cleary, Sergeant Francis Touschner, Air Force men, and Private Dennis Dourghty, Marine, are having a heated discussion with Constance MacDonald, Wave, as to whether Bob Meade ought to run for President of Mexico or not. Doris Clark, Jack's private secretary, is taking down every word. Doris is known all over Mexico for being able to take 240 words a minute in shorthand. What's all the cheering down the hall? Oh, I see, Jim Krystof and Jerry Truax just came in. Jim, you know is the manager of Mexico's only one man basketball team. The one man is Jerry T ruax. - There's James Phielix, pottery seller, John Morich, basket weaver, and John Kordyl, hurache peddler, gazing admiringly at Gretchen Updyke's revolutionary new hairdo. She runs her own beauty shop, you know. Well, I'd better be on my way up to the 200th floor. Oh, isn't this nice. Look at the unusual furniture, why, it's rubber. The tag says, Umade by VVay's and Weigle's VVittle Wubber factory. Sitting on the divan is .James Young, sur- rounded by admiring women. Everyone is seated now, waiting for the interviews to begin. There goes the announcer, Duane Smith, into the studio. He's closely following by Veronica Sekella, fastest female script writer in Mexico, and Rose Senkiw, station librarian. Here's a last minute arrival, Joe Kelly, typical Mexican farmer, with his sombrero trailing behind. Duane has begun the announcing. Miss Sharon Danks, manager and big boss of the radio station is going to do the interviewing. 76
