WITNESSED BY: Alice Ann Kincaid Frank Arthur Julian Joetta Waltz 611155 Praphecy In this year of 1975 we now look in on the 1955 Young America High School Seniors to see what they have accomplished in the last twenty years. As we are flying over the beautiful country in California the pilot of our small sea plane, Pat Julian, decided we had better land for the night. Upon landing we find we have landed on a large swimming pool which is a part of the resort owned by Doris and Harold Stone. We find two more class members as the Stone's weekend guests and we have a nice chat with Carolyn and Tom Drake, from New York. We find they have two 1-ed-headed twin girls, Irene and Jean. From talking with them we find that Carol and Earl 'McMullen live in the same apartment building with Linda and John Coy. The two men own WGN Television Stations. Dick Johnson and Parker Julian are both happily married and have two children, which are both sophomores in Los Angeles High School. We learn that their commercial teacher is Miss Ruth Ann Helms. As we journey on to Oregon we find that Joan and Clayton McE1wee live on a large'es e. At the McElwee home we decided to call Seattle, Washington to tell Carol and Marvin Smith tha e would be visiting them soon. Asiwe were entering Seattle, we were startled to see such a large fruit market, so we thought we would stop and look around. Upon entering the market we were very startled to be greeted by Mrs. Sandra Frazee, formerly Sandra Smith. She told us that Joe and her two sons were owners of other large markets in Washington. We went on in and visited Carol and Marvin and found them happily married withsfpur grown boys. On our journey home our pilot, Pat Julian, was taken ill and rushed to the hospital in Butte, Montana. We went to visit him and found his nurse to be Mrs. Bernice Allison. Through our talk with Bernice we found that Joetta and Don Gresham were happily married and owned several silver smelters in Montana. On our journey back to our old home state we found Alice Ann and her husband operating the First National Bank in Chrisman, Illinois. We were happy to know our old class of '55 had been so successful and we wish them happiness, success and joy throughout their entire lives.
