Ah, now I see a large truck. An A 8: H moving van, owned by Harold Angely and Stanley Hujjfrnan, is moving Sue Morroufr furniture. Sue is married and is moving to Florida. She is saying good-bye to Anne Cooke, popular actress of stage and screen. Here is a court trial in progress. Dot Clement and lVanda Childers are suing Curtif Moore, owner of a jewelry store, for selling them watches with only one hand. The lawyers for the plaintiffs and defendant are Riebard Ball and Howard jenlairzr. The judge is Martin McGirt. The crystal now shows a large orchestra -the Metropolitan Orchestra. I see Pat Thornburg, Evelyn Hoyle, Lafayette Wall, Lnenette W inecojf, Ararneta Rboder and Caroline Gofortb. These people, after years of hard work, have reached their goal. They are accompanying a sensational pianist, june Forter. Bobby Huntley, who is vacationing after a season of pro-ball up north, is back stage talking with Dewitt Pritchard, owner of a large popcorn machine company. Laura Prernell, Rauenell Clarke, Eloiie Alexander and Inez Watron, typical housewives, are sitting out front waiting to hear their old classmates perform. A street is visible now and I see Bob Haa5, a politician, talking with janet Cog- ginr, Anita Robinron and Mary Louise Ben- field, sccial workers of Caldwell County. They are discussing a football game in which Coach Morris Branch hurled his mighty eleven against Nick Laneyfr equally strong team. The referee was Ted Munday and the timekeeper, Roy Oxentine. Bill Kirby, prom- inent sports editor, covered the game. The scene quickly changes and I see a photographer's studio owned by Stewart Gregg. He is taking pictures of his four famous 'Gregg Models,' Helen Harlem, Caroline Huntley, foyre Hodgef and jeroline loner. I see Betty Anne Bort in a post office mailing bills to Stanley Wilton, William Wfrigbt and Cbarler McLean, Lenoir mer- chants.

641,55 prop ecy Who believes in fortune tellers? Certainly fan Huntley, Edith Bonghman, Carol Coffey and I never did-until Halloween night in the year 1960. We were sitting in jan's atomic-heated apartment when someone rang the doorbell. Edith went to the door. She returned, and with her was a small, dark, pleasant-looking old gypsy, carrying a crystal ball. The gypsy hastily explained that she could tell our past, present and future for a small fee and that, if desired, she could tell the fortunes of others. After she sat down, the four of us debated the merits of fortune telling. We knew our past, we knew our present. Not one of us cared to know the future. Carol said she would like to hear about some of our old classmates. Thus it was decided that we take a look, through the gypsy's crystal ball, at the Seniors of 1950. Here, word for word, I have written what the gypsy told us. I see a vision forming in my crystal. Ah, it is a large theatre'-Cinema Tycoon. The manager is Clyde Morrow. He is in his office talking with Bnddy Winkler, Lonir Kent, and Bill Hoyjfnzan. They are trying to agree about running an advertisement trailor on 'Bud, Lou and Bill's Helicopter Service,' now a profitable business. The feature playing is 'Death, My Dar- ling Wife,' a tragedy, starring joyre Wood and Dong Holromhe. Due to the complaints of Shirley Davenport, Kathleen Greer, Anne Liflz and Margaret Shell, feanetle Kincaid Winkler and her husband are having to leave the theatre because their daughter, joenette, is making a fuss. Shirley, Anne, Kathleen and Margaret are joint owners of a city cafeteria, by the way. Someone is saying, 'I don't agree with you. I believe in long engagements.' It is Danny McLean with his fiancee, Mallie Mae Lnlz. Danny is arguing with Claudine Coffey fnow Mrs. Leon Silverj. What's this I see? Printing presses of a large newspaper, 'The Daily Blow,' owned by Bill and Paul ll 'eekJ. The editor, Errfine Eanef, is holding a conference in his office with his star reporter, Wayne Hall, and his two society writers, Mary Alice Royalr and Ioyce McCall. They are discussing the Broad- way musical hit which features Barbara Riehardr, talented young dancer. Also in the play are Mary jeanetle Thronehnrg, famous 'blues singer' and jimmy Rarh, a bigtime orchestra leader. The vision fades. Now I see a television show. The sponsors of the show are Billy Bolick and firnnzy Higgini who Own 'Hig- bol's Canneryf A special feature on the program is a dark-haired 'torch singer,' Marlha Yalei. In the audience I see Carolyn I-Iarle.r.r, a Latin teacher, and Lillian McLean, also a teacher. They are talking about Mack Malheron who has made the headlines re- cently for breach of promise to a socialite. Barhara Benheld, Mavis' Denlon and fo Ann Looney, secretaries in a large law Hrm, join them. Now I see white hospital walls. The scene is clearer.
