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.
