Class Prophecy of I959 Whew! It's finally over. But I wouIdn'f have missed it for the world! As I sit here reminiscing about our class reunion, I realize that the class of '59 has made great strides in only ten years. Why, just several weeks ago several of our ex-classmates made the headlines in an outstanding manner. The United States finally sent a rocket to the moon. BOB BRITTSAN was the chief engineer of this man rocket And believe it or not the first passenger was our own MARVIN SCHAADT. AS I sat in the old gymnasium this evening, I glanced at the rest of my ex-classmates, all seemingly ab- sorbed in the speech. My gaze first rested on BETTY BROWN. Betty is now a famous hair stylist at a big beauty salon in New York City. Sitting beside Betty was KATHERINE HIRSCHY. Katherine was married shortly after graduation and now has a lovely family. Across the room were LARRY HOLDEN and LESLIE STEWART. Larry is the coach of the World Champion Harlem Globetrotters. And Leslie lbelieve it or notl is his star player. Leslie surprised everyone by reaching a height of 6' 6 l Next to them were LINDA ROYER, CHARLOTTE GEHRES, and ANNE MOSER. Linda is now the private secretary for a big corporation president. Charlotte is the home economics agent for Van Wert County and has just received a state award for her outstanding work. Anne has iust returned from France where she is working for the United States government. My eyes next rested on DON WILLIAMS. Don is now the co-partner of a large barber shop in Chicago. And who is his partner? You guessed it! DON HEY. Unfortunately Don couldn't make it for the banquet, but someone had to keep the business going. Beside Don were JO ANN LICHTENSTEIGER and ARDITH YOH. The girls were chattering like magpies, but of course they have a lot in common. Jo Ann is now the head nurse at University Hospital in Columbus, and Ardith has been receiving awards for her outstanding nursing ability. I wondered what CAROL MYERS was thinking as she looked around. Since she is now a famous artist, she was probably thinking of ways to brighten up the auditorium a little. I saw LARRY ROYER fidgeting in his seat. He was probably anxious to get back to his IOO0 acre ranch in Texas. Oh,that reminds me. I wonder why DALLAS AGLER wasn't there. Maybe he was having trouble with some of his ultra-modern equipment on his huge farm. Beside Larry were JERRY CUSTER and BOB NOFER. Jerry is now in the poultry business on a large scale. He furnishes chickens to all the restaurants in northwestern Ohio. Bob is the president of a large company that manufactures farm machinery. I saw JUDY TURNER absent-mindedly scribbling on her napkin. Perhaps she was taking notes on the speech. This is right in her line since she is now a stenogropher for Bob's company. Next to Judy was ELAINE SPRINGER. Elaine wasn't certain she would be able to take time off from her busy schedule to attend the banquet. She is currently singing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Across from Elaine were MAX PRIDDY and JIM BRITTSAN. Max is now a famous cabinet maker and he has built cabinets for many famous people, including the President of the United States. Jim, after attending West Point, entered the army and is now a general. Let's see now. Have I forgotten anyone? Oh, how could I have forgotten RON SHIVLEY. Ron has as- tounded the scientific world by doing the impossible--inventing a perpetual motion machine. If I remember correctly, he was working on it when we were in high school. Well, I guess that is everyone. I think old Wren High should be proud of the class of '59.
