CLASS PROPHECY On April 29, at midnight, I went to the cemetery, and there I found a grave and a pot. I built my fire with my government book and poured in my ingredients. Immediately before my astonished eyes—Pouff! there “She” stood! She was a weird-looking creature. Then she spoke: “I am Hecate here in answer to your summons. Make your wish.” Quickly. el sexclainedae sliiwisheroumscould prophesy for the Senior Class at Bedford High.” Hecate willingly assented. “Squeaky, your woman-hating attitude has a great deal of pull among the women in this memorable year of 1972. You once said women were made as a curse to men, yet your cynical attitude attracts them like bees to honey. Six feet four is your height. You appear to have grown an inch or two. You are the President of the United States, having been unanimously elected by the women. Yet, you’re still a bachelor.” ‘“One of the Seniors has really helped to ‘knot up” things in this world. And that is Tommy Daniels. He’s a st ring manufacturer. During his school days, he collected gum from the bottoms of the desks. He mixed this with Nancy’s nail polish. Then he and Nancy pulled the stuff until it got stringy. They have set a world record for the amount of string they have made. Muttering something under her breath, she went on: ‘Helene Dunn is the governor of Maryland. She won in a landslide election. The Metropolitan Opera nominated her, and her campaign song was this: Namgticlene Dunn, To be Governor is fun, Because I can bake a cake, A good governor I’]] make. She is the first woman governor, and has gained as her title ‘The Singing Governess.” Hecate began to croak again: ‘Bedford High has become internationally famous under the direction of its principal, Andrew Padgett. He has introduced a new system of learning based upon three cardinal points: 1—only three days of school a week, 2—no homework, and 3—no English. All over the world schools are adopting this wonderful system and An- drew is a highly popular principal, beloved by kids. Hecate reared, ‘“The most famous big game hunter and fisherman of the year, Jimmy Kennedy, recently returned from a fishing trip to the moon. But all he caught was a star. He’s as famous as sDickosl racyssbecausesne brings them back alive. One of his spectacular catches was made in his own home when he captured a huge mouse about one-inch long. People flocked from everywhere to see this giant monstrosity and to gaze in awe at that famous man—“‘ Kicking Kennedy.” Hecate speeded on: “Talk about speed and you think of Frank Hubbard. He is the ace driver of 1972. Old ‘“‘Hot-Rod Frank” drives his ‘‘Leaping Lizzie” at neck-breaking speed and has copped every speed tourney in the world.” Hecate rushed onward: “‘Avery Harwood certainly went out of his way to gain success— all the way to the bottom of the sea. He’s a famous deep-sea diver. Harwood took up deep-sea diving because he thought he looked cute in the outfit. Avery got it into his head to chase the mermaids down there; but only one did he want, and she was the one who had “FE. J.” stamped on her back. He caught her and now his name is renowned over the entire country for having, in captivity, the only real live mermaid.” She croaked on: “Louise Robertson is a girl after my own heart. She has made herself famous as a ‘chopper upper.’ She gets innocent people tied down so they can’t help themselves and then she starts to ‘chop ’em up.’ Her sneeze really comes in handy. Once she was cutting up some poor guy, trying to find a knife that she had left in him in a former operation. She cut and chopped and sliced—and still no knife—then a little hay fever breeze was wafted through the window. And Louise let loose with a sneeze. Out came the knife. She 9 99 now holds the world title of ‘chopper proper’. Then once more her voice boomed out. ‘“Margie McGhee is world famous for her biscuits. They’re what you call ‘rock bottom biscuits.’ When Avery first started diving he used some of them as weights to sink himself to the bottom of the sea. Jimmy used them to hurl at wild animals when he ran out of bullets. Horace uses them as a substitute for the atomic bomb. He calls them D. D. bombs (doubly dangerous). Margie claims she uses a special salt in her famous biscuits. I think you call it rock salt. Her wonderful cooking has earned for her the title of ‘the world’s best little husband killer’.” Then Hecate took off her rose-colored glasses and said, ‘“‘‘That’s all; I’ve really had a swell- elegant time prophesying for such a wonderful class.
