Class Prophecy HOSE of you who were in London during the winter of 1940 will recall that the fog was even denser and more penetrating than is usual in a city famed for its unpleasant dampness. As I happened to be passing through that winter, my delicate constitu- tion, always susceptible to the slightest Huctuations of the weather, succumbed to the dread ehillg and I discovered myself sniffling under four blankets, three hot water bottles at my feet, a battalion of doletors and nurses squirting atomizers, slapping mustard plasters, and in general showing themselves to be charming and congenial companions. Outside the medi- cal diversions provided for my amusement, my one solace was in a battered portable phono- graph for which I had but one record, a scratched disk carrying the theme-song of the Queen of Jazz, Peggy Brawley, and her orchestra-- California, Here I Come. After the fifth day of hearing it, much of an admirer of Peggy's music as I am, I must confess that I began to find the air slightly monotonous. It was just at this time that Miss Scroonch, one of my nurses, announced that I had a caller and handed me a card bearing the name of the wife of a noted London minister. To say that I was astonished would be putting it mildly, for I knew that my only London acquaintances, Davy VVindsor Cwho is often called the Prince of Walesj, his monnna and poppa Qcalled by many people the King and Queenj, and the Duke of York were all down at Sandringham. VVhen my unexpected caller was shown in, imagine my delight to recognize Kathryn Kilgore, who had noticed an account of my indisposition in the Market section of the Landon Times. Kathryn, who had always shown an inventive trend of mind, had brought with her the latest product of her mighty brain, an extraordinary contraption resembling a small wash- ing machine, which she called The Spectre-phone. After throwing kisses at me, for fear of my cold, she explained that her invention was attuned to the most delicate ether waves, and that powerful mental application on the part of the operator of the machine, along with the manipulation of several dials, could produce an actual image of any scene or person concentrated on. The spectre-phone fortunately possessed a little attaclnnent, known as the Censor, which protected the concentratee from revelations of too intimate a nature. On hearing this I was overjoyed, and immediately east off two blankets and one mustard plaster, the better to think. VVhat should I concentrate on? And then, like a plaintive wisp of old lavender, there blew across my recollection one of the happy scenes of my innocent girlhood: Salem Academy! Casting about wildly for the name of one of my old school- mates, I thought of the alphabet. I.et's seef-the letter Afwho would that be? VVhy, Anne -Anne Perkins. I concentrated with all my meagre strength. Kathryn twisted dials. Hor- rible noises filled the room-a brilliant flash of light--and then upon the wall was projected an indistinct picture. It grew sharper. Behind a desk, benevolently nodding at dozing pupils, satawhy it was Anne! Fluently from an open book she was reading Latin to her sleepy class. VVhat a profound knowledge of Latin Anne must have! I exclaimed, look- ing intently on the book she held in her hand. The book grew larger. Then I understood. Unsuspected by her fond pupils, she was reading from a translation of Cicero, which was hidden behind the covers of the class book. Oh, fie! fie! Anne. And who was that teacher carefully tiptoeing in and out amongst the pupils? VVhy, Helen I.itz, as I live. She was Assistant Latin Instructor, and it seemed her principal duty was to move among the pupils to see that they used no Latin jacks. Next I focused my attention on Gertrude Bagwell. The amazing scene that flashed on the wall looked very much like a scene from the motion picture Trader Horn. A score of dusky Cannibals were dancing about a huge pot, beneath which blazed a hot fire. From the pot peeped the inquiring face of a gentleman in a sun helmet. To one side stood the wife of the plump, boiling missionary. It was none other than Gertrude, a missionary If T if 1. f 2 ' 1 9 .7 ' l vii: 3 4 ...gg-ilu E 1 ,Aj lj j Q Page 27
