Faye Cochran CLASS PROPHESY It is August 1960 and I, Bob Knight, noted and famous brain surgeon, was about to set off on a three month vacation from my practice in New York City efter performing a very delicate operation on Joel Kupperman, famous genius of the times, when I received a telegram from Donald L. Hitchman, my former classmate, lawyer, and now governor of Oregon, requesting me to come West to Salem. I hopped the next plane and arrived in Salem the day following. ‘ I took a taxi to the Governor's mansion and reached it dying with curiosity. if knocked on the door and was ushered into his presence by a servant, Don had changed very little, other than losing a bit of hair and filling out his bay window. After discussing our school days I asked him why he wanted to see me. It was then that I learned he was going to run in the November election on the Democrat ticket for the presidency. I wasn't at all surprised for

he'd always said that he would someday. Asked why he wanted to see me so ur- gently he replied that he wanted me to act as his publicity man and look up all his old classmates of '46. This would play up the human interest angle in his campaign and possibly get him twelve votes. So after a little discus- sion about expenses, I set off. (He saying he'd pay then.) At first I was at a loss as to where I would start but then I remembered that Bob Johnson was living in Marshfield, and since that was the nearest, I thought that might be the best place to start. I got into the car that Don had given me the use of and sped down there right away. I was driving along main street when I was attrocted by a large attractive movie theatre nearby. Parking and going to investigate, I saw none other than Bob Johnson. He invited me into his movie house which was a very ritzy affair. There he told me that he had married and was the proud father of triplet girls. I was invited out to his house and was very glad for I wanted to see his wife. They asked me overnight and that night we took in a movie at his theatre. after a very pleasant movie we went back to his house where Bob and I sat up most of the night remembering our old school days. The next morning I bid him good-bye with sort of an empty feeling in me as to where I should go from there. Finally, by writing back to Warrenton Higu school I learned from Mr. Dishaw, who was still principal there, where the class of '46 was located. They were all over the United States so I knew I had a big task ahead of me For tunately they were in the U.S. so I needn't travel abroad. Getting a map I formed my route and found my next stop was Los Angeles to see Janice Brown. Abandoning Don's car I took to the air and arrived in Los Angeles late one night. I went to e hotel and next morning I went to look up Janice. Reaching her address I was amazed to see I was in Beverly Hills and that before me was a huge mansion complete with hot and cold swim- ming pools. Going in the gateway I saw Janice in the garden taking a sun- bath. Only then did I recognize her as Glamoor Lamingo, famous torch singer of the movies. Walking over, she wes very much surprised and thrilled to see me, The next hour we spent in talking over our childhood together. Then she asked me out to lunch at Errol Carol's which was still in operetion and re- nowned more than ever. After spending a very pleasant day with Janice, I bid adieu and went on my way. After my meeting with Janice, I telegramed Don for a plane. Soon it ar- rived, a high-speed two place job. Having a private license I took off and headed east for Tulsa, Oklahoma. Stopping overnight, once enroute, I reached Tulsa one afternoon. I called a taxi and was driving through town when I saw a pair of legs on the sidewelk I'd recognize anywhere. Pulling up to make sure, I saw it was Verna Cochran. Getting out I walked up to her and she re- cognized me instantly. We talked on the sidewalk a moment and then got into a taxi. I learned she had a beauty shoppe in Tulsa and was doing very well. We went to her house where I met her husband and four children. After dining on an excellent meal I departed for a hotel where I spent the night. On the morrow it proved to be cloudy with an overcast so I couldn't leave Tulsa. I called up Verna and she invited me to her house. Hailing e taxi, and reach- ing her house, we talked the morning through. About noon the sky cleared so Verna drove me to the airport where we said good-bye once again. ; Now I was on my way to Texas to see Pearl Wildgrube. I knew she was the owner of the Bar-X, just out of El Paso. Having wired ahead, Pearl met me at the airport and drove me to her rance. While there she tried to teach me to ride horseback, and that night I enjoyed an excellent meal off the mantle much to Pearl's delight, As yet Pearl was unmarried but she was about to rope “one in, I spent the night at the Bar-X and was off next morning,
