PROPHECY Port Royal, Pa, January 1 ., I960 Dear Mr. Gerhart, I guess you are probably wondering why I am writing to you, but I thought you would be happy to hear that the class of 1950 is meeting your expectation of success and are all prospering in their fields of work. While on a trip to Holly wood and other interesting places, I was delighted and over- whelmed to see all my classmates and have an opportunity to reminisce with each and every one of them, and to find how the world has treated them. But I will start from the be- ginning and try to tell you all of the happenings on my trip concerning the surprise” meetings of my former classmates. One early Wednesday morning I boarded a big streamline train headed for the West. I found a seat and sat back to relax. Imagine my astonishment to find that Ray Helwig was the conductor on my train. We talked a few moments and then he motioned to two men sitting a few rows ahead of me. I scrutinized them both awhile, and then it came to me who they were, two of my former classmates; Charles Towsey, now a nation wide known baseball star, and John Ritzman, a nation ally known figure in basketball. We chatted together for quite awhile and I was certainly sorry when it came time to to get off the train at Chicago. Then I hurried and boarded a large passenger airplane. As this was my first airplane ride I was a trifle nervous, but I soon forgot about that when I discovered Alma Brack- bill was an airline hostess on my plane. She told me that Mack Johnson is farming a large ranch out West. I was also happy to hear that Jane Longenecker is a successful house- wife and is living quite fashionably in California. My next stop was Hollywood and I hurried from the air- port to a nearby restaurant. To my surprise I recognized Pearl Kerchner who was the hostess in the dining room. She put someone else in charge and we had our meal together, talking over old times. While we were chatting together, Gloria Kauffman stopped by our table. She has been quite successful as a secretary in a large concern. After leaving the restaurant, I rode on the bus to a hotel. Oh yes-I sat with Shirley Crozier who is a clerk in a department store, and likes her work very much. We parted at the bus stop and I went to a ritzv hotel called a familiar name Port Royal . Surprisingly, I was greeted at the desk by Eeulah Foltz who was head clerk. She informed me that another classmate of ours had made good namely James Shirk, who war the manager of the hotel. I
