CLASS PROPHECY I, SHIRL15Y HENNESSEY, work in the office of the New York Times. The other day, I noticed the name Wrightstown in an Associated Press dis¬ patch. The old town was having a celebration of 130 years of progress, com¬ plete with carnival and parade. I took my vacation immediately and the next day landed my helicopter in the new high school athletic field. Byers’ Stad¬ ium; named for our old coach who has lately gained fame as head coach of the Green Bay Packers. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the Mayor of Wrightstown. ROGER SALAVA and his wife the former MARY ELLEN VAN EPERN. We hailed a cab and the driver was none other than FRANK LAMERS. Frank told me he was continuing his school occupation, giving people rides down town. We stopped at the Hotel and found that it was one of a chain owned by MELVIN BAETEN, the famous band leader. Melvin was touring the country but should be home for the celebration. .The next morning, loud music woke me. The city band was coming down Main Street. The drum majorette was CAROL GERRITS, who, in spite of her age, strutted gracefully. She told us later she stayed in shape by chasing her five little coacnes I went to the Carnival grounds and to my surprise the “B.B. Carnival” was run by BUTCH BOWERS. Butch said he would show me around the grounds. We walked over to where the trucks were parked and found that JERR v WALL was now the head truck driver. At the Merry-Go-Round we found HENRY BROOKS, foreman of the main a nance crew. Henry gave us a ride on the new ferris wheel and from the top we saw a huge yacht After our ride was over we went down to the river and Y.AN DYKE and his wife the former ARLENE aRNOLDUSSEN. Dick told us that he had retired from the Navy a few years ago. Butch took me back to his office where we found his sister MARI LYN now business manager of the carnival. Marilyn said that in her spare time she was Driver Education Instructor at WHS. 1 thanked Butch for his tour of the grounds and then proceeded to the concession stand where I found BILL CLANCY in charge. Bill informed me that he was running his farm in Askeaton and was still running from women. As I was standing there talking to Bill, I noticed an attractive woman ioTTrdu 0 SL e 9S® tratin g kitchen gadgets. Bill told me it was my old friend rtU In KUtidKE. T TTooATT7° walked , U P J u £ Wlth a bl 8 shin y star on his shirt. was DAN K UbbO W,.the.newsheriff of Brown County. Dan told me he had been mar¬ ried to JERI COUTURE for the past 10 years. He said that Jeri couldn’t come because she had to feed the Prisoners noon lunch. As I left the stand, th e r A. by stem announced c The Hot Rod race will begin at four-o-clock at the Broeren Speed-Way. My old friend ED BROEREN was running a race track. ° As I was crossing the street, I saw SHIRLEY ZIRBEL, NANCY ME ' UL- E w ANS, AND MARIANNE SPIETZ. All traffic stopped. You see, the three have gained nation wide fame, as America’s three top dress designers and models. Tney said they were planning to come back to Wrightstown to open a dress shop. When I left them they said I should drop over to Margaret’s Super Mar¬ ket. So I went over to the only automatic self-service grocery store in the U.S.
