A Prophecy Dear Editor of Chanticleer, We were very pleased to learn that you intend to devote the alumni page of the next issue ol “Chanticleer” to the Class of 1947. It was quite a job to discover what some of the memhers of the class were doing, hut with a bit of sleuthing we managed to find almost everyone. We started by visiting dear old Weston High. Whom should we meet there but Susan Wiley, the assistant biology teacher. She told us the other classmates who were still in Weston were Rose Gage, who was happily married; Clyde Foote, who, with the help ol Warren Davis, the world- famous agronomist, had a prosperous farm; and Kelton Wagner, president of the Newt(Ui ' W.dtham Rank. From Weston we decided to take a bus to Fenway Park to see a game. We were rather surprised to find that Charlie Walls now owned the R. and W. Rus Fine. And what improvements he had made! He even had radios installed! We turned one on in time to hear the weather broadcast. Rut it wasn ' t E. R. Rideout who was re¬ porting- it was Tom Damon! Right after his broadcast, wc heard a Crooner Con¬ test. We nearly fell out of our seats when the winner was announced to be Gordon Desmond. Then came the big surprise. We heard a very frightening voice say, “Welcome to the Inner Sanctum this is Simpson, your h( ' st.” Wc hurriedly turned the radio off. booking out the window, wc noticed a sign that said “This Way to Murphy General Hospital and Miss Flint ' s Nursery School.” Wc got out at Kcnmorc and arrived at Fenway Park in time to obtain good scats. The first batter from the Yankee team w.is up, none other than Tony Mclonc. The pitcher who struck him out was Charlie “Himself” Place. After that anything could happen. And it did! Wc turned around to see Carol Saurwein yelling, “Get your ice cream, peanuts, and score cards here!” We escaped from Fenway Park as quickly as possible. Deciding to look around Roston, wc wadked down St. James Street, by the John Hancock Fife Insurance Company, only now it was the Upham Fife Insurance Com¬ pany. We turned back and walked down Newbury Street and passed two very dis¬ tinguished dress shoppes. One belonged to Retscy Shaw, and the other to Retsy Van- Hecst. We hear that Irma Gilson, the millionairess, buys all her clothes at one or the other instead of at the Touraine Shop. Retween these two stores was the Compton School of Modeling.
