A Proclamation Class Prophecy S I look at my memoranda for January Z0, 1974, I see that today is the day of the presi- dential inauguration of newly elected Richard A. Lang. I'm sure that all the members of the class of '51 will be present to see Mr. Lang sworn into office in the new capitol at Wil- loughby, Ohio. Shall we leave for there now? Ah, here we are now. Isn't it amazing how Willoughby has expanded in the last Z3 years? It is now ranked as the sixth largest city in the U.S. The new capitol building is one of the most modern structures in the world. This spacious edifice was designed by the famous structural engineering company of Sadosky, Allen, 8: Tropf, Inc. The greater part of the capitol has been in readiness for the past three years. Isn't the landscaping magnificent? It was done by the C. C. Cole Landscaping Company. It is almost time for the ceremony to start: I do believe that we had better enter- yes, our seats have been reserved. Why, hello there Mrs. Smith VanJones. fShe is the former Donna Weisand - quite the socialite in Boston., Mr. and Mrs. VanJones have been intimate friends of President and Mrs. Lang for several years. See that distinguished looking gentleman with the goatee? That's the very exclusive brain surgeon, Dr. Donald Wells, BA, MA, MD, 81 DDT. Seated next to Dr. Wells is Admiral F. M. Polly, commander of the largest battleship in the world. I see that James Mitchell, the well known Metropolitan Opera tenor is also at the inauguration. I read in .Ioan Balsley's syndicated newpaper column that Mr. Mitchell regretted he will not be able to attend the banquet that is to be held tonight in commemor- ation of Mr. Lang's political success as he is opening at the Met. All the members of the Willoughby High School class of 1951 with their husbands and wives will be honored guests along with most of the prominent figures of the world of today. Peter Sherwin, editor of the nationally known News-Herald, looks extremely well: he is just recovering from a tonsilectomy, you know. Yes, I would say the News-Herald has expanded - they now publish five editions a day and send millions of copies all over the earth, as they are printed in fifty different languages. Paul Rittenhouse and Fred Faren- chak, two of the star reporters are among the many journalists covering the inauguration today and the banquet tonight. A precedent has been broken this year, as the Vice-President is a woman for the first time in history. Miss Kathryn Dill has proved her efficiency in political matters as former mayor of Tuscon, Arizona and as former governor of the same state. Another Willoughbyite, Ted Beller, has shown much ability in governmental affairsg he has been named Secretary of State. Now that the ceremony is over we'd better return home to dress for this evening - the banquet's formal you know. My chauffeur is waiting outside. Gordon Achterhof and Larry Erickson have just returned from their safari in darkest Africa - I see that they were able to attend our gathering tonight. William Findlay, the president of a banking concern in New York, has just arrived with one of his chorines. Norm Barnard, star of Willoughby Open House , one of the outstanding TV shows of the year, is here with two other members of his cast - Marilyn Vohlers and Harold Avery. Did you notice that the football coach of Ohio State - George Lederer - is here? Isn't this meal delicious? Of course the food was purchased from one of the Miller 8: Stenger Fine Food Stores. . The world renowned quartet of Warsing, Lund, Del Carpini, Sz Morgan are going to sing a few numbers for us tonight. Next the toastmaster, Fred Slagle, will introduce the first speaker of the evening, Mr. W. Warren Pattison, who shall talk on The Advantages of Living in North Siberia . 44
