-L CLASS PROPHECY Scene: Heaven Time: 2050 A. D. Finally I'm up here. At last l'll see some of my old friends againp it was so lonesome down on earth with Methuselah the only one anywhere near my age. As soon as I walked through the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter handed me an application blank to complete, that asked my name and why I deserved to be or want to be in Heaven. Perhaps I can find some application blanks filled in by my B. H. S. classmates. Discovering a solid gold filing cabinet marked Class of 1950 - Bloomfield, Connecticut with Donated by the Lotz Home Insulation Company as an all-over pattern, I wondered why Bill wants to advertise up here, when insulation is really needed in another direction. Oh well, Iet's see. Here is what I find: Dorothy Arbo - I helped many people with flat feet by inventing Arbo Arches. This comfort saved many nasty words. Phyllis Atlas - To clean the place is why I came. l've heard so much about the dust here known as stardust. Donald Austin - How I got here I don't know. The only good deed I can remember doing is opening the door for Richard. Isabelle Baldwin - I helped many young people in my famous U-Know-Y, where square dancing was held every Tuesday night. Leon Barnard - My ten wives told me to get out, so I came here. James Bonvouloir - I wanted to find out if the saying You can't get to Heaven in a rocking chair is true, so I tried. Frank Burnham - I'm here to try out my new invention, the Heavenicopter, the half sister of the helicopter. Richard Burns - My name suggests another permanent resting place, but l'd be so lonesome there. Armand Caldeira - I didn't mean to be here. I guess I should have examined those elevated shoes before I put them on. Theresa Chiarizia -- I came here to get authentic information for my new show, Heavenzapoppin . Catherine D'Addeo - My voice is over-worked from cheering. The atmosphere is so quiet here. I thought nobody would notice my silence. Alma Davidson - My head was always in the clouds, so I thought the rest of me should be, too. Barbara Duke - I thought I might find some quiet here. Living the life of a Duke isn't easy, you know. Evelyn Engel - My new book Came With the Breeze helped blow away many problems. Homer Guilmartin - I made everyone's life easier by inventing Happy Homer's Daffy Duster, guaranteed to lift the rug automatically when you want someplace to put dust. Edward Gundersen - I came here to play basketball because I know nobody up here would yell Foull Edward Harger - My exotic compound, Harger's Hair-Restorer, was the cause of it all. In my house there was no room to walk, it was full of hair! Gracemarie Harley - While I was performing in the ballet Duck Pond, I leaped too high - so here I am. Dorothy Henderson - Also known as Heavenly Henderson. After singing with a bop band, I decided to change to serious music. I'm here singing with the Angelic Choir. Barbara Hockert - My play Omelet was such a success, that I wanted to see it performed everywhere. Merriman Hunt - My new invention, the Merricar brought me here. I didn't know it was so powerful. Harold Jackson - I went bankrupt trying to promote my Bosco's Business Book that thoroughly explained how to make business deals. Carolyn and .Iacquelyn Lee - We were known as the Mmm Sisters. Because we received only S500 per week singing with a well-known bop band, we decided to go where we would really be appreciated. William Lotz - I'm iust here to take orders in case my file brings any customers. 24
