Now Merril is trying to talk of all our old classmatesat once. That is quite a feat considering where they are and what they are doing. He has mentioned 'quite a few, Marion, Evelyn, Russ, Arlene, Homer and Jim. Marion Layman who was was president 10 long years ago is now the president of one of the finest women colleges in the country. His school has developed some of the greatest women scholars of this age. The school has also built up a great reputation for having the finest basket ball team in 'the U. S. having been National Champs for the past 3 years. Much of the credit goes to their able coach Russell Gottschalk whom weana not surprised to see doing so well considering the job. Russ is not married as he thinks a basket ball team of women is enough worry. Evelyn Gross who was one of the quieter members of our clam is doing right well along the business line. She now owns 10 beauty salons in Hollywood where she beautifies the actresses and actors. Rumors are that most of her trade comes from actors. Merril is now raving on about Arlene B. which brings toxmnd a Iquiet, peaceful farm home where we see Homer Puse trying out some new and scientific ways of cooking. We look out in the field and there is Arlene cutting a wide swath with the new tractor she and Homer bought last year. Arlene has become very adept at farm- ing as has Homer at cooking. Dr. Brinker now administers some medicine which has a qukm- ing effect on Shaf but before he stops his rambling, we catch his last few words concerning none other than Jim Emmitt. Jim is a famous poet and author, more famous for his book writing than his poetry. His last book NHow To Be a Successful Bachelorn was his best, breaking all records in sales. Co-authors Russell Gottschalk James Emmitt

CLASS PROPHESY Time: 10 years hence Place: New York City ' The office of Dr. Mabel Brinker, a very successful pnmician Dr. Brinker is unmarried much to our surprise. The ambulance has just brought in a crash victim. He is in a delirious state of coma. As we look at the victim we see that it is our old class- mate, Merril Shaffer. Merril is a famous pilot having made many round the world flights. His latest plane, the fastest in the world was designed and built by Reid Mayo who is making qu e a name for himself in aeronautios. Reid started out as a profesmond boxer but after a few times of looking up at his opponent from the floor he decided to try another line. Now Merril is out of his head completely and is talkingdnout Governor Merlin John Brinker who is starting his fourth term as Governor of the Buckeye State. Althovgh he seems to have great courage in asking the legislature for additional funds, it seems that is all the farther his courage goes ashe still is going steady.' Talking of Merlin seems to have brought Shaf's wandering mind to Marilyn Emmitt. Yes, it is still Irndtt, Marilyn has got- ten as far as private secretary to the Governor. It seems as if she ought to take advantage of Leap Year pretty soon, Now, the patient is talking about the former June Phillips. June has a half hour over the N. B. C. Blue Network that .'she devotes to singing. June has become the second Kate Smith of the air. Off the air, June spends her time taking care of her family. The efforts of Doc. Brinker to quiet Merril seem to donn good for he is getting more delirious all the time. He is talk- ing so fast it is quite hard to catch what he says. I think he said something about Jane McDowell. Jane as you know,isno longer Jane McDowell, but Mrs. Kenneth Layman. Jane informed me when we were in high school that she was planning on being an old maid but she forgot that in no time at all. Merril is now talking about Doris Gross who has just set a new world's record in typing. She has made 250 words a minute. She also runs a typing school in which her students average 100 words a minute. Shaf's talk switches to Marcella Dahms. Marcella startedout as a waitress in a restaurant and has worked her way up to the ownership of 5 restaurants in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo and Scotch Ridge. Rumors have it that she is worth a quarter of a million.
