tok tok tak Class Prophecy Having finished my work at the hospital that cold day in January 1960, I returned to the Nurses’ home, and decided to relax by turning on the radio, getting in my easy chair, and forgetting the day’s hard work. The music was so soft and sweet I had almost gone to sleep when I heard the announcer say something about Union High School, Class of 1945. To be sure I was in- terested and listened attentively. Then in a most interest- ing manner, the announcer, Everette Houser, gave a brief report of each member of the class. “Charles Brown is a model for Stout Men’s Clothes in Field’s Department Store, Chicago. “Libby Scronce, Sue Tutherow, and Martha Elmore are a famous singing trio in a tour of the United States. “W. C. Scronce is the boxing champion in the United States. “Mary L. Wise has become renowned for her daily col- umn “Advice to the Rejected” in the New York Sun. “Wayne Scronce is chief truck driver for the Guess Brothers’ Transfer Company, owned and operated by Don- ald and Darold Guess, with headquarters at Cat Square. tk
