CLASS PINIPHECY In the fall of 1970 this story took place. I have always enjoyed the fall of the year, it always seems that something exciting is going to happen to me. As I tuned ln Channel 56 T. H. S. 'This Is Your Life' was just beginning. After work- ing all day, I became very tired and leaned back in W favorite chair and put W feet upon the hassock. I became very drowsy and soon was in dreamland. I began thinking of W classmates of 1956 and what they were doing. 'The first vision that came to W mind was Norma Sauter in the office of her boss, she was sitting on the boss's lap trying to get a raise. I went to the office to talk to Norma. We talked about our school days and the fun we had. I soon found that lorma was married to a wealthy oil man. As I was leaving the office I ran into Harlan Bolte who was also working for this firm. She is married to an Albert City businessman who has advanced to the Vice-Presb dency of the Frilly-Willy waving cream. Their permanent home is in San Antonio, Texas. She has two lively, little Texas rangers. I finished talking to Harlan just in time to catch the plane back to Iowa. It stop- ped in Council Bluffs for refueling. As I was going into a diner I saw Sharon Dlerenfield sitting in a booth with her four children sipping a soda. She 'is married to a former Alta High School graduate. We started talking about old times. She told me that Gerald Grote has now become a dog trainer ln Hollywood. He is training Lassie's son for a sensational movie which will soon be opening at your nearby theater. He is engaged to a perky blonde stewardess from the Transcontinental Airlines. He is planning to be married very shortly after the opening of the new movie. I went to the movie and was surprised to see Russell Borkowshi, who is now the man- ager of the Chicago Star Theater. He is married to a Truesdale under-graduate. They live ln a rambling ranch house in the society section of Chicago. He invited me to the Stork Club for supper. I was very surprised to see Jean Meyer as the singer of the famous Tom- W and Jimmy Dorsey band that was plqing there for the evening. She is happily married to her teen-age sweetheart, who formerly lived in Iowa. He plays the saxaphone in the band. As I was listening to one of Jean's entrancing songs, a very distinguished red-headed wait- er came to take W order. It was no other than Leonard Brummer. He told me that he is the head waiter of the club. He is a happy husband and the father of six little red-headed boys. After finishing W supper I thanked Russell Borkowski-and went back to W hotel to pack just in time to catch W plane to Florida. After arriving in Florida I went to a leading department store to do some shopping. While looking at some gloves, I saw Beverly Boese examining a sport jacket for her hus- band. They came to Florida for their wedding anniversary. She married a boy from a town near her home in Iowa. I went back to W hotel and found a letter waiting for me. I was surprised to learn that it was an invitation from Elaine Franzmeier to an open- ing exhibit of a portrait that took 12 years to paint. It was school days which gained her much fame. I called Elaine to congratulate her, it was then I found out that the exhibit was to be formal. Since I had not brought a formal with me, I had to go down- town to get one. When I got into a large department store, I was surprised to learn that Russell Bd- die had taken Christian Dior's place in designing women's fashions. His professional name was now Rochelle Adae, he looked very pleased with all the pretty models surround- ing him. I was very tired from W days sight-seeing, so I went down to the beach to relax where I saw Ruth hlehring doing her very famous mermaid performance. After an enjoyable afternoon I went back to W hotel to get ready for that evening. 'I'he next day I decided to continue W journey to Hollywood, California. I packed W suitcase and went to the airport. You might be interested in knowing that the pilot of this plane was none other than Bill Spurling. I learned that Bill was a bachelor, but not for long. He was very much interested in a stewardness. After I arrived in Hollywood I was in the hotel just long enough to unpack W clothes when I went sight-seeing again. I went to the famous Paramont Studios and saw Lorraine Sump directing a movie with the help of her boss. She is married to one of the movie actors. I went back to the dressing room and I saw Deloris McBride hustling around fix- ing the hair of two leading stars. She had taken hair styling in Iowa and had been so good that she was offered a Job at Paramont.
