Class Prophecy As we, Alice Kruckeberg and Art Beck, were walking down the street, Old Father Time we chanced to meet. We asked him about all of our old friends of Versailles High. He took us gently by the hands. Away we flew to Frenchtown (which is a thriving metropolis). Here we met Bridgid Baltes who was head floorwalker of the department store. Her assistant was none other than Neva Cain. While we stood around observing, a familiar face loomed into view. We waltzed over and met our old school mate. Bob Barga. He had just come in from the baseball field where he had been coaching his nine boys in the noble art of pitching. At a counter close by we spied Susan Baltes. We used to go to school with her. She was selling nylons and for old time sake gave Junior a pair for his wife. Just as we were ready for a long gab fest with Lowell Brown, the banker of Frenchtown, Father Time tapped our shoulder. We climbed upon his staff and journeyed to Yorkshire. We were aghast at the changes that had taken place here. At one end of the town (the west end) was a large dance pavilion. Atop the door was the name “Ralph Barge and his Bumping Buckers.” The hat check girl was Yvonne Littman who had moved from Willowdell to join some of her dearest friends. Wilbert Mescher was calling a square dance. We sauntered across the floor. Seated at a corner table were Don Oliver and Rita Meyer Oliver proudly watching their youngsters dance. We left this charming dungeon and galloped to the school. We were greeted at the door by Superintendent Cyril Bergman and Principal Ralph Long. We were, of course, happy to see our friends of long ago. As we glanced over the class roll we noticed several familiar names. Roger Henry, Jr. leered at us from behind a comic book and Paul How-dishell II threw a brick at our heads. Out we ducked with Father Time at our heels. We had seen enough of this fair city. Our next stop was North Star. James P. George, Lieutenant of the North Star police force, stopped us for speeding. We patiently explained to him that our 1957 Cadillac wouldn’t go any slower than 120. He said nevertheless we must keep our speed down to ninety-five. We paid off and went on our way into town. We met Mona Lou Berger Blakeley She was calling the twins in for lunch. She explained to us that two of our unmarried classmates, Anna Jean Smith and Doris Froebe, R. N., were coming to visit her in the afternoon. We regretted that we could stay no longer. We stopped on the Twelfth Floor of the North Star Bell Telephone Company Building. Toletha Tegtmeyer smiled at us from the switchboard. She said if we would wait just a minute she would have time to talk with us. She completed her call to Dr. Alfred Eilerman from the Reverend Mr. Herbert Huber. They were calling about John Magoto who was in New York managing a big Broadway hit. The star of the show was Mary Jane Marchal. Mary Jane had made quite a name Twenty
