PROPHECY 22 Now, how did that salesman say this crystal ball should be used? Let me see, first he said to rub it like this, and then repeat these magic w ' ords, Abba Cadabra Dee, show me what’s going to be.” Oh! I see a vision forming. Our first scene seems to resemble a classroom. In fact it looks like the classroom in which some of us spent many hours at least trying to solve the mysteries of chemistry. Standing at the front of the room, book in hand, is one of our classmates, CHARLES WATERMAN. This teacher’s name is sure to surprise some of you, but not those who were in the same chemistry class as he, for this young man has shown extensive knowledge in this field of study. We can’t help but wonder if everyone is as agreeable in class as he always was. As we continue our search of the future, we find that two more of our classmates have returned to teach at Suf- field. In the gym we catch a glimpse of THELMA NOBLE as she goes merrily on her way. We are not in the least surprised at this as Thelma always did enjoy sports of any kind. The other classmate who has taken up teaching as a means of livelihood is HARRY FORD, whom we find sedately sitting behind a desk droning on and on about how Columbus discovered America. He is completely unaware of the paper flying about the room or the laughter around him. At least he’s interested. As the scene changes, we all wait anxiously to view the next prophetic glimpse of what the future holds for us. The picture is simply a book. Printed on the cover we read these words: This World of Poetry by CONSTANCE MATYSKIELA; illustrated by ALICE G. HAYDEN. These words express far better than any picture the fate of these two members of our class. Our next scene is that of a small neat drugstore. We learn from a large sign above the counter that this store is owned by two of our more ambitious members. They are by name, PEGGY FETKO and FRANCES KOKOSZ- KI. Two of their most loyal and industrious employees are JACKIE FAHEY and BILLY EDWARDS. These two boys made a career of concocting new types of sundaes. We learn from a magazine on special display in this store that the editor of our yearbook, JEANNETTE TALLIS, is now the editor of a renowned and world wide famous magazine. Maybe all that work on the year book was not a waste of time after all. We now find ourselves walking down the corridors of a great hospital. Stopping to look at a bulletin board on which is shown the names of the nurses now on duty, we are not surprised to find printed there the names of two former classmates, MARY ANN GALETTA and DOLORES SMITH, who are chief assistants of DR. FRED FITCH. Having such a nice personality, we don’t imagine Freddy lacks female patients. As we leave the hospital, we hear faintly from the doc¬ tors’ lounge a record featuring that brilliant young piani st, TOM EDMONDS. Tommy’s playing has lightened the heart of many music lovers around the world. Tommy’s success has caused us to wonder if any other member of our class has made a career of music. On entering a small record shop, which is owned by ROBERT SIMMONS, we find that two of them have made an outstanding number of records. Vocalist VIVIAN JACKSON, accompanied by BARBARA MORRIS and her guitar, are well on the way to lasting fame in the world of music. On the way by the nearest news stand, the headline of the New York Times makes us pause. It seems that TERRY CHASE has made a name for himself as one of the leading dancing instructors in the country. His ability in this field apparently comes from his past achievements on the basket¬ ball court. Part credit for Terry’s making the headlines can be given to FRED KOTOWSKI, who is editor-in-chief of that paper. The front page story was written by that aspiring news reporter, JOE RUCIENSKI. These two brilliant young men both started at the bottom, behind the broom. Also on the news stand is this week’s issue of Look. Inside there is a two page spread featuring those Holly¬ wood models, JENNIE MARKOWSKI and RAVONNE FITCH. Jennie and Ravonne always did know how to wear their clothes to the best advantage. Next we take a trip to the country and visit MILTON POWER’S lumber mill. As we enter the office, we spot one of our old classmates, CAROL EGAN, who is now Milton’s private secretary. We find after taking time to chat with them, that Milton is hauling in money by the cartload and that Carol is raising a good sized family on the side. Returning to the city we stop a moment at a small flower shop, little dreaming that we would meet any of our old friends here, but no sooner do we step over the door¬ step than we recognize LOUISE ALDERMAN. We find that she is the owner of this quaint shop. From Louise we learn that for assistants she has hired LUCILLE McBRIDE as a maid, and JOHN BIGGERSTAFF as a gardener. Knowing John’s love for outdoor work, especially that of the farm, we feel that she couldn’t have made a better choice. She also tells us that Lucille, before coming to work for her, held a very good job in the firm of an exceedingly rich gentleman. The only catch was this — he was already married. Upon leaving we are told to stop at the first little cottage we come to. We find this cottage, and after ex¬ claiming over the beauty of the roses in the yard, we knock on the door and await the mistress of the household to open it for us. To our great surprise the door is opened by none other than SHIRLEY COLSON. We are asked to step in¬ side and enjoy a cup of tea and homemade cookies. We are forced to agree that maybe after all, marriage rates above a career. We learn from Shirley that MARIANNE CARNEY and SANDRA PARKS are much in demand as private secretaries. It seems that these two girls have broken all speed records as far as typing goes and many hearts as well. We are told that SANDRA NOBLE is teaching English Literature at the University of Connecticut. It seems that there is a record number of young men taking that subject this year. One of these young men has been taking exten¬ sive courses in colleges and universities all over the country. He is considered one of the best educated men in the country today. This young man is none other than our former classmate BRUCE REMINGTON. Here’s our last scene, the workroom of a famous dress designer, FRANCES SMIEGEL. Frances, who always said she would never marry until she is at least thirty years of age, now declares that she will never find time to marry at all. And there it goes. My crystal ball has lost its power for a while. Later on I’ll bring it out again, but in the meantime, I think I’ll just sit back and let these visions of the future of our classmates penetrate my mind.
