Cl ass Prophecy Tbnight as the Sailors of the Class of 1947 are gathered here for the last time, I seem to be imbued with the spirit of propheoy. So let us pull back the curtains of Time and take a look at a lovely Spring day in 1957. Memories of school days fill my heart, and 1 decide to call on mil my classmates who are in reach, and learn what 1 can about the others. first» I call on Bobby Greene and Carl Carmichael, the two red heads. They operate a filling station. Carl services the cars while Bobby chats with the ocoupants, they are both bache- lors and get along fine, except when it's Carl's day to chat and all the cars are full of pretty girls then Bobby's temper matches his hair.

I then went to the veteran's hospital where Cllffie lfae tyrd is a nurse. Her pleasant smile and soothing touch have won for her the love of all her patients, liven while I was there two of her patients glared jealously at each other and vied her favors. I learned from her that Mortimer Morris is a doctor in a Western town, where he buries all his mistakes 1 1 went from there to see Loretta Miles, who has a lovely apartment and is studying to be a singer. 8he told me that Fred Stallworth has sailed for the British Isles for he never did believe there is a Blarney Stone in Ireland and by Jupiter, he is going and see I
