CLASS PROPHECY How time flies! It is now 1969, and I find myself visiting towns and communities where I have lived. Here I am at a great mining center, the prosperous town of Waukee, Iowa, where a big celebration is in full swing in honor of Frank Andreini, who has been elected Governor of Iowa. I stopped at the new modern railroad station and, to my surprise, the ticket agent was Gene Huston. Come on over, Gene said, and I will take you to a big circus so that we can see many old schoolmates and do some celebrating ourselves. At the circus grounds someone was shouting, Right this way, right this way, see the little monkeys. Gene said, I suppose you know that barker? Bless my soul! It was Alfred Ori, weighing 256 pounds, mustache and all. He said that he was married and had four boys. I asked him if he married a local girl and he said Mary Ann Grove had been a very wonderful mother and wife until she decided to travel faster than the circus, so she was now in Long Island, New York, singing with a traveling mike. Alfred said he had put the boys on the circus payroll riding ponies. We next turned our attention to the lady wanting to tell our fortunes. You've guessed it, DoLores Paullin was jabbering and jibbering at us. I found that she had decided to get even with the men by not marrying any of them and still fooling them all. At our side were the lions' cages and standing guard was our old friend Gene Dluhos. He had been in the deep jungles of South America hunting wild beasts and was a second Frank Buck. He was very prosperous and had married the sweet little nurse, Ann York, who was a circus nurse to people and animals alike when the regular veterinarian was away on business. It seems as though Bill Cramer had become a great veterinarian, then decided to be a lawyer after he married Doris Ann Lux. But, as she was a famous dress designer in Chicago, she had no time to give Bill and so he traveled, trying to forget his great heartbreak. Inside of the big tent our glance caught a sign saying, I challenge any man to lift more weight than this woman. That woman was none other than our great athlete Roberta Clayton, holding 100-pound weights in each hand and displaying her strength with big, bulging muscles. At her side was the mysterious looking sword swallower, Shirley DeLay. I was a little disturbed by the sad look in her eyes, but Gene explained that she had just laid away her third husband, due to the fact that she tried to teach all three of them her profession.
