,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.

CLASS PROP!-IECY We stayed overnight in Mattoon and saw the sightsg bright and early the next morning Joan insisted that we go shopping, so we went to Mattoon's largest de- partment store. As we were passing the managefs office, we saw the assistant manager perched on the manager's knee - - whispering sweet nothings in his ear. I thought I recognized the assistant manager, commented Joan, why it's Hazel Ferguson - - imagine! We shopped awhile, and since it was getting rather late in the morning Shirley and Melvin were ready to start the journey to Windsor, and invited us to ride along with them. tNaturally we accepted - - it would save bus farell When we arrived at our destination, they bade us farewell and left for their little home in the country. As we started up Main Street, we noticed some new buildings had been erect- ed, and one of them was a Farm Advisor's Office. As we drew nearer the door, it opened and out walked a distinguished-looking man whom we recognized as Kenneth Walker. We stopped for a moment to chat, and he told us that after winning various F.F.A. honors, he was appointed County Farm Advisor. He said he was on his way to see Lloyd Elson who is raising grand-champion Holsteins. Lloyd is married to a sweet, young girl and they have triplet girls. Quite a surprise we agreed since Lloyd was such a woman-hater in his earlier days! Kenneth murmured that he was sorry but he simply had to be on his way, so Joan and I started ambling toward the swanky Windsor Hotel. At that very mo- ment a messenger boy came darting forward with a telegram: Horses being rustled. Culprit caught. Come home immediately. D. Dunn We were sorry that our vacation had to be cut so short, but we had to rush back to those priceless horses. We took the first jet back to Dallas and arrived a half-hour later at the air- port. Dorothy was there to meet us, and she was all excited. She said that character named Robert McKenzie, a distinguished lawyer in these parts, had been caught loading our horses and selling them across the border as first-class Mexican stew. At present, he is in the clink, passing the time by reading comic books which tell how the fugitive escapes. We aren't going to make the charges too serious, though, since one of the old maids had a personal interest in him during her Senior year at W. H. S. My! after all this excitement we're due for another vacation, but at least we found out what all the Class of '52 are doing these days. We're all leaving for Australia next week, for a quiet three weeks, so - - Happy Landings! THEEND
