PROPHECY Dear Bert: Remember the good old days back in ’49 when you rode to school with me. We sure had loads of fun those four years, didn’t we? Last summer instead of flying to Europe for my vacation I thought I’d look up my classmates. You see, I am now the owner of one of the greatest air ports of the country. I took to the air soon after graduation as I found more space up there. I had less trouble keeping out of the ditches, too. I packed my suitcase and leaving the airport in the hands of my most reliable mechanic, Rex Nelick, I left for Walnut. When I landed in Walnut I found the town had expanded greatly. Ohio and Normandy were now suburbs of Walnut. I didn’t know where to go or what to do first so I thought I’d find the police station to get some information. As I walked into the station I heard the chief of police giving the squad the once over. The voice was so loud and gruff I thought I’d go while the going was good. As I turned to go the door opened and the squad crowded past me. Then there was the chief himself standing in front of me. I had to look twice before I accepted the fact that this large form of man in front of me was really Myron Sergeant. We had quite a talk and he told me where I could find some of our classmates. He told me that Bob Wolfe was now the owner of a ladies’ salon and I should drop by and see him. Well, I did see Monsieur Wolfe. Bob hasn’t changed much except maybe a little pudgier in places. You know a mustache and French accent do such a lot for Bob. Bob insisted that he would be delighted to escort me to dinner that evening. We choose a nice spot in the Swedish section of town. I was surprised to see that our host was Maxine Chelin. She took us to a choice seat as there was special entertainment for the evening. This special entertainment was the famous dance team “Irene and Louis.” Later Maxine told us they were our classmates, Helen Whittington and Maynard Parker. The next day I went over to see the Dr. Donald Hopkins. The hospital was at the edge of town. Don likes his work with the animals very well. Don told me some of the experiences he had. It seems Don Christensen is a flea trainer at the hospital. Well, Chris always did like complicated things. That afternoon I took in a matinee. Remember -the class’s moviegoer, Blanche Wallis? Well, she was the operator of the theater. The movie showing was “The Groom Said No.” Wasn’t that our senior class play in ’49? You’d never guess who the star was. Well, it was James Casey. He is very popular and really is going places in Hollywood. Casey’s opposite was none other than Rita Langford, his opposite in the senior play. After seeing so many of my classmates it all began to come back to me. As I walked from the theater I thought I heard a familiar voice calling: “Popcorn, Candy.” I pushed through the crowd toward the voice and there it was all before me. Glendon Melton standing behind his popcorn stand with a crowd around him. He said he really enjoys life as a bachelor. I had been told there was a new library and new and larger high school built two years ago. The following day was quiet and a nice day for walking so on my way to the library I went through the park. I was strolling along whistling a little tune when I came upon the caretaker. He was in a nice white uniform, leaning on a rake and feeding peanuts to the squirrels. As I went past he turned around and looked at me. Was I ever surprised to see that it was Kenny Choiniere. We had a nice chat and 1 went on my way to the library. There at the library I found the li-
