,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.
