CLASS PROPHECY DON ' T believe a word of it!” I said, as I read the story of the Lotus Eaters. “Imagine! eating a lotus flower and then sleeping for years.” I pondered over the story for some time. Then, being of the experimental type, having been in Mr. Vaile’s chemistry and physics class, I decided to try it. After a great effort I ob- tained one flower from the plant and scornfully began to eat it. To my great surprise, I immediately felt drowsy and soon I was lost in the oblivion of sleep. I awoke with a start to find that I had been asleep for fifteen years. I was greatly surprised at the changes which had taken place. Corona ' s population ex- ceeded that of Los Angeles, I was told. Not an automobile was in sight. Airplanes only were used for transportation. I searched in vain for my old classmates. Finally after going into a beauty parlor to get my hair finger waved, I came across Roberta Ely and Berle Robinson, classmates in the make-up class. I hurriedly asked them about the fate of the rest of the class, and they shamefully answered that they had made no effort to keep track of them. Roberta informed me, however, that Allan Haines, now a famous inventor had perfected a “radiospectograph tellitometer” which was con- trary to all laws of science, and a development of the “electromagnograph spygno- meter” he worked sot hard on all the while in high school. Perhaps if I went to him, Roberta said, I would be able to locate my former companions. I hurried over to Allan’s laboratory and secured his aid. After skillfully manipulating the numerous controls, the wizard finally got in touch with George Fink and Bob Shank. They were stranded, penniless, in Australia, where they had gone on a pleasure trip. While there, however, George had developed a severe case of color blindness, as he tried to reach the moon in his huge rocket plane and was wearing 500 watt ties. Doctor Shank feared his case was incurable. The next fact revealed to us was that. Helen Walker was acting as chief soloist in the Salvation Army and was trying in vain to convert her former chum, Marjorie Carlson, now an entertainer at the Chapultepec theatre. We next found that Pee Wee Clark was “Just a Gigolo” at Harriette Hall and Jeannette Toolen’s school of dancing and dramatics. Alma Conlee and Earl Martin, I was amazed to learn, were each serving a ten-year sentence in Sing Sing for stealing pennies out of the wishing well at the Huntington library. Card Cunningham was acting as private secretary to Louis Curtis who was selling Austin Airplanes to aspiring aviators. Harry Johnson was one of his first enthusiastic customers. Vivian Peeler was debating against Ghandi and trying to prove that India was not yet ready for self government. Raymond Zbranek was now an eminent “buggologist” while Frances Spencer was acting as an able assistant and director. We were next surprised to hear that the beautiful romance of Wilson Briggs and Eloise Gist Briggs was shattered as they both impatiently waited for a divorce in Reno. Mary Sullivant was named as the lady in the case. Helen Henneuse was now editor of the Lewisville Gazette and Mildred Brock- man was acting as her society editor. Ada Ashcroft was drawing cartoons for this peppy paper patterned after our old Ko-Hi-Nur. Phyllis Hill had invented a red haired traffic cop system, the idea being to hire only red heads” for traffic cops and then merely having them put on green caps for “go,” and having their red heads exposed for stop. sixteen
