Class Prophecy The job of head dishwasher in Salem’s most exclusive restaurant grows a bit monotonous at times, so I decided to seek a few hours diversion in Falls City. I soon found my feet following the old, familiar path they had trod some fifteen years ago—the path that led to the school house. But what a changed place that house of learning was! Upon entering the spacious corriders the first object that greeted my eyes was a large memorial dedicated to my old principal, Mr. Starkebaum. I was delighted with the swimming pool, cafeteria, and dance hall, but I shall have to confess that the stop and go signs, and moving stairs were rather bewildering. And it was with difficulty that I suppressed a smile at the green smocks worn by the teachers of both sexes. Upon peeking into the few lockers, I discovered that each was electrically lighted and fitted with a good sized mirror. After inspecting the landing field for the student’s planes and the hangars where the planes of the faculty members are kept, I turned to exclaiming over the golf links and tennis courts, and at last turned my footsteps back into that room of varied memories—the study hall! How uncomfortable those queer modernistic seats and desks looked and they were made of metal too—not a chance in a thousand for an initial to be left as a pleasant reminder of a former occupant. And with pencil sharpeners and miniature waste baskets at every desk and a librarian to send books from the library by means of the electric carrier, what possible excuse could a person have to move about the room? I suppose I’m old fashioned but I’ll certainly take the good old study hall of my youth in preference to this modernized, electrolized, super-efficient room whose very floors are made of some new fangled materials that makes them absolutely soundless. But be that as it may, visions of old classmates just would creep before my eyes and I began, first to reminisce, then to wonder about their present whereabouts and doings. Suddenly I was inspired—why not do a little research work and discover the fates and fortunes of everyone in my old class. The Superintendent of schools dug up some old records and soon produced the list of seniors of ’29. Then began my hunt! Search and research I did for many a week. Gossip, letters, newspapers, magazines, telephone—vision, and graph, radio and the new radio-vision machine were all called into play, until the facts were finally collected. For my future enjoyment and reference I put down in black and white the following information: lone Evans is heralded as the new Gloria Swanson. Her director is John Horan, and Martha Deuchler writes most of her scenarios. Howard Holtzedorf, an inspiring author, is at present separated from his wife, Gwendolyn, because he recently wrote a book entitled, “The Gorgeous Brunette.” Helen Jones is official story teller to the children of England’s royal family. Her ghost stories are the wildest ever! Marjorie Sandrock and Betty Edwards are evangelists and daily gain dozens of masculine converts. Phil Ries has invented and patented a combination peanut counter, sacker, and weigher. Joy Butler runs an information bureau, ably assisted by Harold Zoeller. Detailed information and advice on all subjects are given for almost nothing. Through the apt advice of Joy and his ardent love making in French, Stewart Neitzel has wooed and won a famous Parisian dancer. Decola Rush and Gene Grush manufacture a light speed car. Their motto is “Rush with a Grush.” Ruth Weick, Edna McCoy, and Thelma Creel have successfully completed a cross-continental hike. They attribute their success to the training given them by the unsympathetic motorists of their high school days. • lll[]|lllllllllllt]llllllll!ll!C]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]lll! 19 2 9 UlllllllllllOllllllimir ..■llllUlillllllllllC]llllllllllllt]lllllllllillC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC3IIIIIIIIIIIIC}IIIIIIIIIIIIC3llllllllllllt3llllllllllllC Page Twenty seven
