CLASS PROPHECY During a warm summer day in July, while looking over some dress designs in my New York pent-house apartment, my mind began to wander and to think back over the good old days. Never in my fifteen years of city-dwelling had I ever become home-sick, but I had a good case of it now! So, I closed up my Fifth Avenue Dress shop, packed my luggage, locked my apartment, gathered my Pekinese under my arm, called a taxi, and caught a plane to good old Walnut, which in the year 1962, had finally procured an airport. Arriving at the airport which was on the site of the old campus of Walnut High, I called a taxi and was very surprised to see George Frederick sitting under the wheel. I conversed with him as he took me down Broadstreet which had greatly lengthened—now being extended from where Sergeant’s cow-pasture had been, straight through to where the Gonigam homestead used to be located. George informed me that he had given up his scholarly ambitions and was roughing it, living in the small home of Cleo Hanson and raising sheep, canaries, and gold fish on the side. George drove me to the Alcazar Hotel, a huge white marble building set with precious stones; and as I was ushered over the coin-inlaid halls of the lobby, there met my eyes a very handsome man. Those curly locks couldn’t deceive me for long and I somehow disengaged my hand from that old friend, Bob Durham. Just when I was getting over one terrific shock, another one practically knocked me off my feet. A tall, polished, well-dessed, intelligent-looking gentleman rushed up to me and greeted me. Glenn Gonigam had certainly changed since our school-days and not only owned the Alcazar but six other branch hotels in New York, Chicago, Miami. Los Angeles, Palm Beach and Manlius. When I inquired how he happened to get away from the Gonigam. Bass, Hill Company, he told me that he took his life into his hands and sold his share of the lumber, nails, and window glass and built his string of Alcazars. Acting as hostess in Glenn’s swanky hotel was Betty Fenn. She told me in secret, while showing me to my room, that she had never married because she was in love with Glenn and she hoped some day he would realize this and ask her to join lots with him. She pointed out to me that it would not only be good for both of them but it would also make one more room to rent out and thus make more money for Glenn. After Betty left, the telephone rang. The operator asked me if I would accept a “Collect” call from the lobby. Naturally I was curious to know who was calling me, since I was sure no one knew of my being in town. A familiar voice greeted me, but it was fully a halfminute before I realized who the person was. He told me that he had adopted the name “Count Keith Rennyar,” and I soon gathered that he was my old beau, Keith Renner. He had just returned from France, where his interest in the French language had brought him great renown. After much stuttering around, which was always typical of Keith, he asked me for a dinner engagement that evening and he called for me promptly at 8 p. m. We decided to go into the drug store for a coke before dinner. Mixing drinks behind the bar was a tall stately figure —I looked once, I looked twice, I looked three times! You’d have been surprised too, if you had seen, of all persons, Doris Paepke, shaking the mixer in the door-die manner. Doris had just started her new job the week before, and the manager of the store, my pal, Betty Abraham, who now weighs 315 pounds, was sampling all Doris’ concoctions.
