CLASS PROPHECY All aboard! All aboard! All aboard for the Dreamland Express, heading for all points north, south, east and west. We are journeying to the land of make-believe where I, Jack Reagan, the conductor of this train will introduce to you some very prominent people in the world of today, 2000 ... As I am walking down the aisle collect- ing tickets I have a charming chat with the world ' s greatest artist Bill Wilhoit, who owns the John Mowers Podel Studio in Burbanks, Alaska . . . Traveling with him are two of his famous live models Carolyn McKinley and Harold Gale . . . At my left I see the well-known congresswoman, Janet Rees, from Washington, D. C, and her private stenographer, Wilma Worth . . . Sitting near the back of the car I find Jack Manor, pro- baseball start of the Yorktown Yankees, and Al Ellison, pro-basketball star of the Cammack Globe -Trotters, flirting with Cuba Mathew, the world ' s renouned famous traveler, and Patsy De- weese, a representative sent by the Farm Bureau on an excursion through Africa . . . Hold it — who ' s this I see coming down the aisle? Well shut my mouth and call me speechless if it isn ' t Richard Crawley, the spectacular opera singer, who sings nightly at the Stork Club in Holly- wood ... I am now in the dining car and who is that cute little waitress waiting on Wayne Antrim, trophy taker of the 500-mile races? Why, I see it is none other than Marilyn Constance Dryer . . . Earl Stewart, forest ranger of the Sherwood Forest, and Pete Lennington, chemical engineer at the Atomic Engery Laboratory in Russia, are waiting anxiously for her to get to their table. Take it easy boys!! . . . Frogs legs, shrimp cock- tail, and milk is the menu of the director of a large concert orchestra, Phil Stephenson . . . Also while waiting on their lunch, Robert Aul and Robert Snodgrass chat across the table about the baking and undertaking business ... As we happen to glance out the window, we see Don Harmon ' s 24-hour wrecking service station doing a prosperous business working on Paul Talbott ' s fire truck . . . Jim Frazier, an officer of the National Guard, and his aid-de-camp, John Stewart, are relaxing on down the aisle after a luscious meal in the dining car . . . Well, I had better hurry on to the smoker room so I can finish my introductions ... At the end of the car is Bill Wallace, the hen-pecked husband, talking to Miss Jean Storer, the fat lady of Barnum-Bailey Ringling Bros., Circus . . . Here, here, out of my way now . . . Who do you think you are? Oh, I beg your pardon, it ' s Don Watkins, the heavy weight champion of the Golden Gloves Tourna- ment performing for Ora Loveless, the prominent stockholder of the world ' s largest defense plant, Warner Gear . . . Now we are nearing the ex- clusive compartments of the train ... I will just peek through this keyhole of compartment 2B and see who is within . . . Oh dear, it is Mar- guerite Cook, the famous solo star of the Fox theatre in Brown County, rehearsing before her boss, Rick Puckett . . . Across the aisle in room 3C is Christina Mitchell, resting after a long journey from South American where her husband is general manager of the Standard Oil Company ... In an adjoining room the more popular dress designer and owner of a New York concern, Joanne Thompson is discussing business with her advertising manager, Nancy Antrim . . . Ooo-de- lay-de-hoo ... I hear music but there ' s no one there . . . Let ' s travel out to the caboose and see what ' s cooking . . . Why it ' s none other than Tex Hittson, the owner of a large cattle ranch in Moonsville, Texas, serenading his lady Joan Snodgrass Coffman, chief cook and bottle-washer at the Spink Arms Restaurant . . . Well, I think it is about time that we should be going back through the train and see if I missed anyone . . . Why, yes, here are four charming ladies play- ing bridge . . . May I have your names and oc- cupations please? All right, Joyce Landrey, bank cashier at the First National Bank; Joyce Cash, art instructor in the Greenwich Village; Faustine Childs, editor of the Yorktown Herald-Tribune, and Rebecca Hall, receptionist at the Curior Shop in Gillmon, Indiana . . . And I thank you very much . . . Seated on further back is Nancy Broad- water, well-known author of the new book Love — What Is It? , whom we also missed . . . Well, John Stephenson, the engineer of the Dreamland Express has signaled me that we have now reached our destination so we must end our little trip and say farewell until next time when we meet again . . . Twenty
