SENIOR PROPHECY Wlarrenshurg, Illinois june 28, 1965 Dear Hilda: A few days ago, while reading the Soap Opera Review section of my Radio Reflection magazine, I ran across the names of the members of the Class of 1951. I thought you would be interested to know what the kids we knew back at dear old W. L. H. S. are doing now. The article read as follows: F WILLA MAE BACKS INTO LIFE Willa Mae has always tried to back bravely into life, but the recent disappearance of her husband, Carl Johner, is more than she can bear. In desperation she turns for comfort to Carl's closest friend, Dave Robbins, who has been trying to suppress his own feeling for her. Now that Carl is gone, will Willa Mae turn to Dave for more than comfort? Or will she turn instead to reviving her own legal career which many people have urged her to do? Before she has time to make a decision, however, Carl returns with the excuse that he has only been on a hunting trip. Willa Mae wonders what he has been hunting for but asks no questions as she so gladly welcomes his return. Upon seeing his friends happily reunited, Dave realizes that his love for Willa Mae was only temporary. A few days later, he elopes with the upstairs maid, Connie Kuntzi. THIS IS ANN ROTZ Any possibility of marriage for nurse Ann Rotz, and lawyer Bob Taylor, now seems def- initely over. Disappointed and confused by Taylor's peculiar actions of late, Ann discusses them with a psychiatrist, Dr. Wubben, only to make a startling discovery. One of Bob Tay- lor's persistent accusations was that the Doctor was actually in love with Ann. This appears to her to be sheer invention until, during her long talk with Dr. Wubben, she realizes that it is probably true. With two great men in love with her, Ann faces a difficult decision. Should she marry Taylor or Dr. Wubben, or should she devote her life to her career of nurs- ing? The complicated events have Ann so confused that she decides she had better consult Dr. Wubben professionally. During her frequent visits, Ann discovers that she is definitely in love with Dr. Wubben. A few weeks later they are married. YOUNG DR. DEMENT For several years Dr. Robert DeMent and his wife, the former Frances Maske, have been gradually drifting apart. Dr. DeMent gives up his practice in the small town of Three Oaks to accept a position in a large research hospital in New York. Frances remains at home until the Doctor gets settled, but while he is in New York, he meets and becomes attract- ed to the wealthy Emily Armintrout. Frances becomes suspicious when his letters and visits to home become more infrequent. Believing that Bob will welcome release from their mar- riage, in order to go on with his own plans, Frances allows herself to hope she can find happi- ness with Ralph YN'hitsitt, whose love for her has deepened and strengthened ever since they first met. Before going ahead with her plans for a divorce, Frances feels that she must see Bob again. YN'hen they meet to discuss the divorce, they are reunited and find that their loxe for one another has been strengthened by the separation.

THE DARKER DAY Beverly Smith makes a great decision when she refuses to marry Hollywood executive, Bob Hazelrigg. It is a hard decision, for Bev is very much in love with Bob, but feels her background as the daughter of a small town family is very bad preparation for Hollywood life. She writes Bob her final answer, but Bob, knowing what he will lose if he loses Bev, comes in person to Three Rivers, her home town to try to get her to reconsider. Beverly has reached the turning point of her life. Should she stay in Three Rivers? Or should she throw herself into the mad whirl of Hollywood life to be with the man she loves? Perhaps within the next 10 or 15 years Beverly will reach the solution to her heart-breaking problem. ROMANCE OF MARILYN COLE Marilyn Cole, famous Hollywood dress designer, and Roger Bailey have been planning mariage for many years, but something always comes up at the last minute to prevent their plans from becoming a reality. The last calamity that prevented this happy union was the sudden appearance of Dolores Dipper, who claimed to be Rogeris wife. Three years ago Roger had an attack of amnesia resulting from an airplane accident. Dolores claimed they were married during this time, although Roger has no recollection of the marriage. When he regained his memory Roger went back to Hollywood and took up his old life with Marilyn. Dolores came to Hollywood seeking a divorce so that she would be free to marry Robert Brame. Roger was willing to grant the divorce so that he and Marilyn could carry out their plans. PERRY AUSTIN When Lloyd Austin began his career as a criminal lawyer in New York, as most fam- ous people change their names, he also changed his to Perry. In a short while Perry became the most famous criminal lawyer in New York. Perry's secretary, Maxine Williams, and New York Police Chief, Arthur Lawrence, have been assisting him on his latest case, Galloway vs. Creep-a-long. Creep-a-long is a pet turtle belonging to Miss Paul Ann Van Whited, a prominent member of New York society. Playboy Arnold Galloway, who has been dating Miss Van Whited regularly for the last 13 years, has become jealous since she has been spend- ing a great deal of her time with Creep-a-long. He sues the poor, innocent turtle for aliena- tion of affection. Perry Austin carefully gathers evidence that wins the case for his client, Arnold Galloway. The jury fines Creep-a-long and sentences him to 30 days in his shell. MIDDLE PACE HAROLD Dick Boyer, editor of the Warrensburg Moon, sends his star reporter, Middle Page Harold Qjanvrinj to cover the season's most fantastic murder, the 'gCase of Crunching Clara. The girl, named Clara, was murdered in the balcony of a movie theater. Harold's star witness is Erma Horn, P. E. teacher, who overheard Clara's husband threaten to kiil her if she didn't stop crunching her popcorn so loudly. Charlotte Williams, who was selling popcorn in the theater, is also called upon to testify that she sold popcorn to Clara and her husband. Confronted with all this evidence, Clara's husband confesses that he mur- dered his wife on the grounds that she was annoying him with her crunching. This con- cludes another success in the brilliant career of Middle Page Harold. JIM JONES AND HIS WIFE, LINDA When Jim Wilson decided to become an inventor, he changed his name to Jones, be- lieving that james Jones would be a better professional name. Jim is at present working on a youth machine, with the encouragement of his wife, the former Linda Belle Doolen. It was Linda's desire to regain her youth that first inspired jim to start to work on the inven- tion. Some of jim's former inventions were a self-winding earjack, an electric toothpick, and an automatic diaper-changer. Since the members of the Class of 1951 will soon be reach- ing old age they will want to investigate Jimis accomplishments. Hearing the names of our old pals of the Class of 1951 sure brings back memories, doesn't it. Hilda? Signed, Homer.
