I l 4 CLASS PROPHECY During our high school days, Joan Bartley, Dorothy Dunn, and I, Alma Cress, had always dreamed of owning our own ranch in Texas and raising race horses. Our dreams were finally fulfilled, and we are living on the BCD Ranch, near Dallas. Ranching isn't all we do - - Joan is supervisor of a large Veterans' Hospital in San Antonio, and Dorothy is very busy as head of the Home Economics Department in Dallas. As for me, Pm secretary for one of the National League baseball teams. Finally after ten years, we are established and are wondering what the rest of the Class of '52 have done for themselves, so Joan and I decided to return to Illinois. Since Dorothy was too busy to get a vacation, we planned to leave the next mom- ing Without her. Before we left we gave out final instructions to our two trusting foremen, Bob Storm and' Carl Helton, who settled in Texas after being discharged from the Army. Oh, yes, they do a little work around the ranch when they're not busy courting those two Southern Belles - - - Catherine Carman and Geneva McDermott. So we packed our clothes and left by planeg after we got our bags put away and were comfortably settled, we heard a noise from the back that sounded exact- ly like a politician practicing an important speech. We -couldn't help but stare, and presently we recognized this character as Senator Garrett, that Qpular congress- man from Illinois. Sinoe'we had gone to school together, we soon joined him and much to our joy, he told us he was running for President in the next election - - and were we ever surprised to learn that he -was a bachelor! No time for women, he informed us. He started on his speech again, but decided he neeled refresh- ment, so he called for the stewardess. A beautiful blond qame forward with a tray and gently served him. But wait! We know her - - it's Barbara Sims. Senator Gar- rett blew her a kiss and started his speech once more. By this time we decided to go back to our own seats and talk a while. Joan said that she'd had a letter from Joy iHeltonl Duckett a few days ago saying that she, Bill, and their two little girls were now living in Shelbyville, and Bill owned his own grocery store. Joy said she was helping with the Saturday rush a few weeks ago when in walked Tom Maxedon, tired and hungry, and ordered his weekly groceries which consisted of pork and beans and spinach. Each Saturday he keeps declaring he's going to ask some girl to be his bride so she will do his cooking for him, but he's so tired after digging ditches for the Neal 8: Maloney Wrecking company all week that he just hasn't the energy to ask any girl to marry him. , Joy also wrote that Nellie Tipton is now in Belguim, lavishly spending her stacks of money which she received from royalty on the book she wrote - - How to Grow Muscles. Columnists report .there is a romatic angle betweenlher and the Duke of Bobhopia.

,W --, .----,.. ,, ,,,.T,', , , CLASS PROFHECY By this time we were landing in Chicago, so we called for a taxi and who should be driving it but Gordon Rees. Gordon had been in the Marines, but was now retired and was driving taxis for a pastime. He said he's liked the taxi service since high school days! He told us that these super-luxurious atomic taxis were invented by that old Windsor genius - - Monk Meyers. We finally arrived at Union Station and got on the train bound for Mattoon, and there across the aisle sat Pat McQueen. She, too, was a nurse and now married to a handsome ltaliang they were soon going back to Italy to spend their better days. While we were waiting for the train to take off, down the aisle came a neat- looking couple with four cute kiddies, and as they came nearer we saw that it was Melvin and Shirley fFinleyl Krile and family. They had been to a Farmers Con- vention in Chicago and were returning to their farm near Windsor. We had a long visit with them, and Melvin told us that he had a card from Jim Goddard about a week ago saying he was promoted to the highest rank in the Navy. He also informed us that John Allen had been married for three years to a Shelbyville girl and that they now had twin boys. John is a very successful veter- inarian and has his own big business near Middlesworth. We asked them how basketball was progressing around Windsor, and they told us the Blue Devils were state champions - - but why not? They have that ex-star of '52, Marion Cordes as coach - he has a five year contract with W. H. S. and in his spare time he builds hot-rods. And what happened to Marion's cousin Eugene Zimmer? Well, this is sad, but Melvin gently told us that he is a professional gambler and the last time he saw Eugene, he was wearing a barrel - - he had lost his suit in a big chess game! But with the help of his Mattoon girl, maybe he'll come around. ' We asked Shirley what Marie Nolen was doing these days, and she replied, She is special instructor of square-dancing at the Windsor schools. She's engaged to a square-dance caller in Florida - - plans to be married in June. The train pulled into Mattoon a few moments later, and as we were walking down Broadway, Joan decided that she was hungry. So we stopped in at an ultra- modern night-club The Casanova and noticed that it was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Doehring iMrs. D. being the former Phyllis Morrison.l It was just about time for the floor show to begin and who should first appear but Croon- ing Carroll Clawson, the bobby-soxers' dream man, warbling the Atomic Blues. His nummber was followed by Patty Doty, that famous song-and-dance girl, who had been a great smash hit on Broadway in New York City. Pat, now in Mattoon on vacation, was the feature attraction at the Casanova 3 she explained that she was just doing it as a favor to her old friends.
