That night in my hotel room I read that the Maharaja of Matadoor, Larry Matheny, was spending a night, with his harem, off the coast of Florida before going through the Panama Canal Qwhich he owns! and touring the Pacific. I cabled the ship and Larry told me all about the pining life which he had been living furiously since he graduated. The Marines made the mistake of sending him to India and he stayed there for four years, then picked up a discharge, 10 wives and 52, 000,000. Larry said the cost of living, with 10 wives is terrible. Before he runs through his second million he said that he would have to leave them and come back to the U. S. lt seems the Panama Canal wasn't making enough profit for the family. Maharaja Matheny told me if I wanted to see Bob Cron I'd have to go to Austtailia, where Bob owns a big chunk of land the also owns New Zealandl. As I registered at the Hotel Austrailia, I heard a voice crooning from the dining room. It was fyou guessed ity, Crooner Cron and his all Austrailian Bushwoman Orchestra and Chorus. Besides singing, playing his coronet, and leading his orchestra, Bob told me his Mongoose Ranch ion which he raises mongeesej, is doing very well, thanks partly to his wife's management and money. l still had one senior to see, Ellen Miles. Ellen, who had married right after graduation, lives in Monterey, with her husband and four children. Ellen, opened a chain of roadside restaurants, called Miles Milestops, on all the nation's main highways. These, using her original recipes, were constantly patronized by truck drivers, who brought in sufficient money to keep the family in the manner to which we all should be accustomed. ln Ellen's spare time, she became the country's head 4-H leader, and became so well known, that the 4-H's are practically changed to five--Head, Heart, Hands, Health, and Harold. This will be the life of the class of 1958 in the year 1968, so don't say you haven't been warned. I

CLASS PROPHECY As I, Floreine Rudolph, began my annual 'round the world trip to sell my famous Buckeye Red ponies, I decided since this was the year 1968, to visit my old classmates, the eight seniors of 58 , and see how they were treating life. First off, since it was only a half hour 's hop by helicopter over to Detroit, I stopped off to visit the new owner of the Ford Enterprises, Inc. , Bob Miner. Shortly after graduation Bob took his paper route money the also sold his blcyclej and bought the Ford Motor Company. Two whole years after graduation Bob married Edsel Ford's granddaughter. Carrying on the family tradition of naming new lines after new arrivals, Bob opened a bicycle branch and named it Bobso , after his son Bob, Jr. Since then Bob has become the father of four lovely girls, whom he named Mark 4, Mark 5, Mark 6, and Mark 7, and created these new lines. Bob told me his wife insisted on giving the girls very feminine middle names so they wouldn't feel slighted. While stopping at my favorite city of Washington, I saw a very distinguished looking man, dressed in a black suit, carrying a black brief case and wearing dark glasses. He was being followed by two beautiful blonds rushing across Pennsylvania Avenue-. Could this handsome man really be Doug Sautter for that is who it looked like to me? I gunned the motor of my car and knocked him to the side walk. I got out and went back to pick him up, but lo and behold the two blonds were already doing that. Doug told me he just couldn't decide which girl to marry so he had hired them both as secretaries. Doug also told me that he had gotten interested in his pet phrase, There are places for people like you , and had looked into the state of prisons and other places, and become an outstanding social worker who shuttled back and forth be- tween Ohlo and Washington, D. C. Next, I stopped in Florida and visited the winter quarters of the circus. A soprano voice yelled, Get out of the way , and a big beautiful blond, dressed in beige and gold, riding a black horse, bareback, calmly knocked me into a mud puddle. This seemed familiar and I felt a hand lifting me by my hair. Yes, it was Brass Knuckles , Terry Sheline. The last time I had seen Terry she was going to a beautician school, so I asked, How come the circus costume? She said that she had gotten a job in Toledo, and was doing real well until one day a man asked her how she would like a modeling job. She went off to get the job and for- got all about a woman she had left under the dryer. The woman's hair burned completely off and Terry left the state with the next circus train. So then, naturally, I asked if she had heard from Mike Chenetski and she pointed over to a llon's cage and there stood Mike, with his head through the bars, rubbing noses with his favorite lion, Goldylocks. Mike has taken Clyde Beatty's place with the circus, he never used a whip, but trained his animals with generous doses of love and affection. In his spare time, because he wanted some excitement, Mike raced his sports car at Daytona Beach.
