1957 CLASS Prophecy
Dear Sherry:
Well, I just received your letter. I was glad to hear from you once again. So you are now taking up Kissology as a career. Well, I hope you enjoy your work.
I have been traveling around the world and ran across my old classmates of 1957. I was going to come see you, and I had an automobile accident. I sideswiped a car, ran a red light, and ran up a telephone pole. Luckily I recovered with just a scratched elbow.
Well, on my trip around the world I saw BARBARA TAYLOR doing the hula for the Hawaiians over in Hawaii, and how they liked it!
I was going to Onawa, Iowa, one day last week, and guess who I saw? Yes, that’s right. Good Old JEANENE PENNY and JOAN SEYMOUR. They were trying to duck from the toll man, so they wouldn’t have to pay to get across so they decided to walk.
On my way back, I saw MARILYN KELLOGG with a rolling pin in her hand chasing Larry, cause he wouldn’t stay with the kids.
Going down to Omaha, I saw LUCRETIA WILLIAMS on one of the street weighing scales, weighing herself. Poor kid just can’t gain weight.
JIM SEARS finally has his own taxi service from Decatur to Lyons.
BOB WARREN has now discovered that this country needs fences and it’s no longer open-range. He still has that sexy flat-top.
I saw BUTCH EPLING hitch-hiking down the road singing “Poor Little Robin Walking to Missouri.” Did he ever make it?
CLARK BECK is now the owner of Skelly’s Service Station. The price of gas is 2 cents a gallon, cause he is now living on love.
Oh yes, I saw GARY WEDGEWOOD and he has finally started growing.
I was talking to SMOG WARREN and he is still trying to get through high school. He still wears that dunce cap that Mr. Oyler gave him.
JIM SPARKS has his own office and is now an architect. He smokes a pipe and drinks (root) beer now.
DICK BUTTS and E.L. finally got married. I saw them going down the street in a 1943 Chevy with a bunch of little Butts.
JANE SEARS is still trying to join the Army. I wonder if she’ll ever get in?
JOANN HAEFFNER is now helping Jim run the pool hall with the help of six little Jobeuns.
ILENE HUGHES is now a woman doctor up on the reservation. She really likes it up there, because she really feels at home.
I went to the circus the other day and saw ALICE JUMP. She is now the “Fat Lady” in the “Ringley Brothers Barnam and Bailey Circus.”
Was talking to SALLY SEARS and she is now an Airline Hostess and is stationed in some town in Arkansas.
Passing through Germany I saw Coach Hill at the Olympic games. He seems to have given up coaching to become the world’s champion in balancing books on his head for a career. This seems rather difficult because they could easily slide off of his shiny bald head.
Well, I’ll be closing for this time saying I’m on my way for California to join the Hot-Rod races.
Love Always,
Margie Schuler
