THE RED AND GREEN — - PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’27 The exhilarating sensations of success are now mine after five years of patient toil, subsequent to my graduation from Glen Cove High with the class of ’27. The product of my intellectual genius is an attachment to the modern radio, which portrays persons in their stations of life many years hence. In my initial attempt I decided to satisfy my curiosity in regard to the future of my former classmates. With this end in view I attempted to locate Mr. Gribbin, my one time principal. I adjusted the dials to 1947—suddenly I heard the well-known voice of Mr. Gribbin announcing: Station—S E E R—Dist. Attorney E. J. Gribbin speaking. I will now proceed with the latest reports of the great murder of mystery, of which I expect to conduct the prosecution. This is well known as the apparently “Unfathomable Burke Case.” However, even at this moment, I am aware of the fact that it has been solved and that the criminals are no longer at large. Again Marshall Eastment, the greatest detective of times, known as “Never Fail East-ment” has come into the lime light. An apparently insignificant clue, closely followed by Eastment led to the solution. However, it took the genius of the Latin interpreter, Miss Richards, to decipher the clue—a mere scrap of ancient parchment leading to the arrest of the criminals. Following this, Mr. Gribbin stated that he hoped that some of the Class of ’27 were listening in as he was now going to relate the fortunes of their former classmates. This program, he stated, had been arranged in honor of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the graduation of the Class of ’27. (Mr. Gribbin had been enabled to do this because he had recently attended an alumni meeting.) We will first consider the lot of jolly Mae Allchin. Pardon me, Mae Alton, as she is known on the Gay White Way, where she stars in musical comedies. At present she is occupied with the stellar role in Norton Levine’s (once Norman Levin) newest and greatest musical comedy “Hot Stuff”. In this play, our Mae is a unique and willowy dancer, who shows the advance of Dance through the ages. (From a good source, I learned that Mae excelled in the Black Bottom, of which she gave an exhibition at Washington in ’27.) Our cute little friend, Dot Lockwood, has succeeded in interesting Norton Levin in her plays. (Yes, she did have a pull with Norman.) Of course her talent as a poet has not been laid aside for often one comes upon an extremely emotional poem and discovers her name attached to it. I might add that a play written by Dot was the first one put on the stage by Norman and starred with Mae. So with such a rare combination—could it have been other than a success? Page twenty-eight
