Class Prophecy Virginia Martin WAS walking down Main Street in Dayton feeling pretty lonely, because it was just after graduation and I was really missing school and all my school friends. I happened to be passing a dark-looking building which had a sign that read Lady Carita---Crystal Gazing---S1.00. I had always wanted to go to a fortune teller of some sort and this seemed to be a good opportunity, so I went into the mysterious-looking place. A small gypsy woman sitting at a table on which there was a crystal said, Whata you wanna know? I tella all about the future, the past, the present. I realized I had had no particular question in mind, however, I said immediately, What will my classmates be doing fifteen years from now? Lady Carita answered, I justa looka in de creestal and seea a peecture of everything you wanta. I shall pass on to you what Lady Carita told me she saw in her crystal, though I shall translate it into English without her accent. Paul Geiger, mightier than the mighty Barnum, is breaking up winter quarters in Florida. As the main attraction of his circus this year he is billing the Wonder Lady fDoris Steinhilberj, the Girl on the Flying Trapeze CHelen Boylanj, and the Lion Tamress flrene Marshallj. Also in Florida are the York brothers, Don and Kenneth, who are in the semi-finals of the national golf tournament. The scene in the crystal changes to the large metropolis of New York where Richard Hill and Virginia Oblinger recently made their Metropolitan Opera debut in Verdi's 'Aida'. Bob Gates, Broadway producer, and his protege, Kathryn Miller, also are making names for themselves in the theatrical world. Helen Hemm, whose great-aunt left her several million dollars about two years ago, is leading the women of the world as best-dressed woman. Laura Louise Wagner's hands are being used as models in some of our better magazines. They have recently been advertising Shine-On Finger Nail Polish. Also recognized has been Cleo Terry's smile advertising Clean-Easy Tooth Powder. Marie Benkert, an outstanding social worker, is among the leaders in slum clearance in New York. Earl Mac- Keller, who is with the New York Giants, is an example of small town boy making good. Next I see Chicago in my crystal, continued Lady Carita. The American beauticians are holding a conven- tion there this week. New types of coiffures, created by John Goldsborough, are being modeled by Doris Kruse for the blondes, Alice Klauer, redheads, and Eleanor Caserta, brunettes. Also present at the convention are Bette Soliday and Marian Barrett, recognized authorities on beauty culture. Bettie Baumgartner is a permanent resident of Chicago, where she draws illustrations for magazine stories. After a moment of silence, Lady Carita continued, this time Detroit being the setting. That peculiar building in Detroit which looks something like a reproduction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is the work of Bill Harris, the none too famous architect. lim Dawson, who is becoming well known on the tennis courts, resides in Detroit. Robert Woods is playing basketball with a professional team in the automobile capital. He is so small the players do not see him zip by with the ball. Marilyn Efhnger, who has followed out her high school wishes, is now a supervisor at the Detroit General Hospital. Beatrice Polasky is a nurse in the same hospital. Lady Carita's crystal then showed Piqua with some very interesting scenes. Paul Patterson is the head of the 'Thrill for a Dime' taxi company, and, by the way, his taxis are Fords from the Libbee and Libbee Company. :iii the new modern high school in Piqua are Franklin Bridges, public speaking, Betty Meier, Spanish, and luanith Laztham, physical education. Howard Valentine is the owner of a string of gas stations which run from coast to coast, however, he is still in his home town. Delbert Cornelius is in the Grab Your Own grocery business here. Richard Dorman is a sheet metal worker, also in Piqua. Tom Cuff owns a real estate business, his efficient secretary and oflice manager being Aileen Gillem. Martha Hill and Norma Foust have a very clever dress shop down town, the attractive windows of which are decorated by Kathryn Motter. Raymond Ford has worked himself up to district manager of the A and I fArctic and Indianj stores here. Loren Pitsenbarger is an expert auto mechanic and Dale Westfall is a leading aeronautical engineer. Robert Lukens, the poet, who still lives in Piqua, was listed in 'Who's Who' this year. Helen Cromes takes his dictation. ' Roger Stein, the new owner of the Piqua Call, has Bill Becker and Neil Bomhard working as reporters. You can see Bill scurrying about with his camera, taking pictures of everything from dog and cat fights to street brawls. Following these views in Piqua, Lady Carita continued with scenes from towns near Piqua. L'Charles Schuesselin, who has increased the size of his meat plant, is still situated in Sidney. Of course, Kenny Petry is always around and somethimes you can find him fighting the bulls in their pens. Charles Penrod is their traveling salesman, and Tom Smith is the manager of the meat cutting department. Some of the housewives of Miami County have organized a society to fight the price of dish-washers, which is Page Twenty
