Class Prophecy-Ianuary Seniors Dear Marilyn: I understand that you have just returned from South America. I still can't realize you are the famed Entomologist Rust. Did you find that rare species of insect you were hunting for? The last time I saw you we were talking over old times, wondering what had become of our classmates that graduated from old West Linn, so I decided to look as many of them up as possible on my vacation. Locating some of them was quite a problem, but I hired the Iohn Stone Detective Agency to help me out, with grand results. Isabel Vinson was the most difficult to track down, but I've finally located her as a tourist guide in the Swiss Alps. She offered us cut rates if we ever cared to take a climb. She said she had received her inspiration for her work, riding up and down the train with Bill Larson, who operates the said train to the top of Mount Hood. We were able to locate several in New York. As you know, Walt Logsdon writes the Advice to the Love-lorn column in one of the large New York papers, but did you also know Art Huebner conducts the sight-seeing bus through China Town? It was by the sheerest of luck that we found one of the others. It was as we were walking down Broadway, that we looked in a restaurant window and there stood Wayne Robertson turning flap jacks. We went in and invited him to go to the opera with us to hear Lee Hornshuh in the leading role of the Desert Song, but Wayne preferred to go to the Madison Square Gardens to see Gloria Eisele, the world's greatest tight rope walker. Of course, while we were in New York, we stayed in the hotel managed by Pat Brennan, but imagine our surprise to have the bell-hop who carried up our bags to turn out to be Cecil Iohnson. On my way back home I stopped near Reno, Nevada, and Visited Darrell Thompson's Dude Ranch. Taking a much needed rest there from the heavy work in Hollywood was Bud Larson, the great dress designer, and Albert Cissman, dance director of the follies. On my way back up to Portland I stopped in San Francisco to hear Charles Marshall, who is a news commentator now. In his evening broadcast he told of the plans for the first around the world non-stop trip in a one-man sub- marine to be made by Bob Hooff and sponsored by Hank Quade, President of the Submarine Company. I feel sorry for Bob's wife Iwho was Claudia Ishaml who must stay home and operate the streetcar between Oregon City and Portland for him while he is gone. I guess I have told you of everyone of our old classmates, Oh no! there is Chuck Marx, about whom I neglected to tell you. He is piloting the plane between Seattle and Alaska. I will be seeing him in a few days as I must fly back to my hot dog stand on the Alcan Highway as the tourist trade is terri ic. Do drop in and see me before you leave the States again, and write soon. AS EVER. N ORRENE PETERSON
