CLASS PROPHECY-Continued Margaret Query and Trezfa Setzer are weighing on one of those scales that tells your fortune. Treva's card says she is a cute blonde and attracts men easily. Mar- garet wants to swap cards with Treva and buy a bottle of peroxide. In Penney's Morzteeii and Kathleen Dauir are shopping. The twins have mar- ried twins and both have twin boys. Carolyiz Sigmou has a hard time with Eleanor White everytime Eleanor comes into Penney's to buy anything. Eleanor has been taking Latin so long she for- gets that people still talk English. Dorothy MrCorhle, who has been on a lecturing tour all over the United States is telling Mary Lou Zoole about the class- mates she sawiin each town. Hfoarzrie Harris , she is saying, is an opera singer in New York, Amie Stezferzf, a concert pianist now appearing in Philadelphia, and Lloyd Smith, director of the Smith- sonian Institute in Washington. A colorful window display at the book stores catches the eye. It's advertising Martha lI hitehead'r latest book, How to Love, Lose, and Bear It Like a Woman -in Ten Easy Lessons. Mary Ezfelyiz Trot! and Betty Rene Hodger, both mar- ried, gaze wonderingly into the window. Quickly parting company, they each go in a different direction, only to slip back, when the other one isn't looking, purchase a copy, and hurry home, displaying newly sprouted little horns. At the Warren Garage, Charlet is show- ing foe a picture that had just fallen, when he started to pay his bill, from Chief Petty Officer jay Alle1z'r billfold. It is a picture of Helen Winkler, cartoonist for Walt Disney. When questioned about it jay blushingly said, I like the Chief Rabbit Water that she draws. Joe, who had been listening to the lat- est sport news, turns and says, Tex Smith, Lee Childerr, and Bill Bower are a great asset to the Chicago Bears this year. Huh Craig and Leon Clark should really hit their stride this year for the Boston Red Sox. Then the sports program goes off, and Moe Huntley and his orchestra comes on. Moe's orchestra features Boh McGim- .fey and his Golden Trumpet and Harold Gilliland, the only clarinet player in his- tory who really plays through his nose. I think that the thing I see lost under a ten gallon hat is Gene Martin. He must have ridden a horse all the way from Tex- as because he certainly couldn't walk in those boots. There is a beautiful new building across the street from Warren's Garage which houses Dorif HIIHIIEJ new beauty salon. She guarantees a complete rejuvenation in ten treatments and Claudine Goble. Gwen Keyey Speurer, and Hope Edziziiterz are her first victims. jenny Courtney is teach- ing personality development there. Doug McGowan, the genius, who built the sa- lon, is proudly showing Major Berz Rarh and Brute Cre.r.rou the outside. Alzfirza Shumaher is trying to convince Hope Ed- zrzirteu that the gold gown in the dress shop of the salon is the very thing to wear on that special date. Night was falling when Doug and jerry stepped out of the Madame's booth. Not that they believed in fortune tellers, but each went in his own direction won- dering how in the world she knew every- one's name, and jerry kept mumbling to himself that he certainly didn't see all of that in the crystal ball.

CLASS PROPHECY It was a cold snowy morning in 1965, Senator jerry Nall stepped off the curb to board a trolley for downtown Washington when someone touched his arm. jerry , the creature exclaimed. Turning he saw an old schoolmate, Dong Clay, a commer- cial artist. Doug persuaded jerry to let his urgent matters look after themselves for the day. They talked of old school days, and after lunch Jerry suggested they go to see a fortune teller and see if she could tell them what had happened to the rest of the graduating class. Within the next half hour they were seated across from the Madame in a two by four booth. The Madame made Jerry sit a little behind Doug because he kept trying to peek into her crystal ball. First , she said, we will see what is taking place in your own hometown. A long silence followed and then she told them this: Fred Rlrbards is now manager of the Center and State theaters, and Der- nzont Robbins is handling the enormous popcorn business. At the ticket window of the Center Corporal Lenzar Melton is receiving a million dollar smile and three thirty cents tickets from cashier Benlab Reeve. Lemar is proudly escorting Befty Carter and Lois Franris, two of the local nurses, to the movies. Coming down the street is Bill Austin and joan Rabb, now Mr. and Mrs., and Bill, jr. Bill is the biggest dairyman in Lenoir. Across the street at the post office is jobn Garren, the town's only photog- rapher, pushing a package through the stamp window to Mary Lonise Correll, for weighing. On the post office steps Dudley Nelson, fare Cbilders and Dazfid Caudle are dis- D gf 1 '7 FN , 5 . f Hare me M I. 1,516 cussing the man shortage. All three are still confirmed bachelors. David Caudle came very close to matrimony three times but each time had to hurry away to his drugstore on urgent business and Lazzra Laxton said she wasn't going to play second fiddle all of her life to ice-cream and alka-Seltzer. Standing in front of Rirbznond Bern- bardfs hardware store are Pafriria Pope and Betty jo Byers, two secretaries, who are doing a little chatting on the com- pany's time. Inside Bobby Wfillianzs' new department store Della MrNeil is trying to sell fnanila Bozwnan and N ellie Bisloop the same dress. Cbarles Bnsb. who is sup- posed to be repairing the neon sign, is perched on a ladder looking in the second story window, while Elane Sajjford and joan U7arren model dresses for Tbernian Clark, Therman wants to buy a dress for the little wifey, Efbel Sinnnons. Nearby Agnes Tbonzpson and Barbara Frye are discussing the newest thing in movieland, All or Nothing at All star- ring Mozelle Robinson and Clande Yates. jo Haas plays Mokie's rival and gives her a hard time. In Harold Hood's pool parlor, Wayne Haigler fwho claims to be a salesman for the Standard Oil Company in China but who has never been any closer to China than joe W'inkler's chop-suey shopy and Earl Holman are having a little time argument about a little tiny black ball. From a window over the pool parlor hangs a sign painted on the skull of a pre-historic animal which says: Are you bothered with broken bones, headaches, or pains? Come in! Dr. Holloway will find it. Surgeon Hoke will re- move it.
