Madame Zora I gate intently into the crystal ball and soon the clouds begin to clear. There is old Father Time. Who is he? Ah. yes] Blake Corbett has taken over the old gentlemen’s lob and has just indicated that the year is I960, Ah, there goes classmate Wesley Hrisce hurrying to his self-serve grocery store. I now see Lillian Veen punching the cash register for customer Marguerite Baskaj Gloria Teeple is in the office working studiously at the books; two delivery trucks drive up ani the drivers are, ah, yes, Jim Middleton and Jack Grant. But what is this? It can’t be handyman George Hrisoa loading both trucks at once, but it is! The scene ohanges and I see a little house on Cherry Street. A sign reads Justice of the Peace, Pat Malane. n Inside, the Justice is reading the wedding ceremony for five of your former classmates, Joyce Fisher, Gloria Fleming, Donna Stark, Betty Weasel and Lorraine Garnek. Standing slightly to one side are witnesses Marion Helmer and Bob Fleury. The little house has faded and a shop appears with a sign over it reading: Mathewson’ s Upholstery” work done promptly by Don Merrithew and Doug Bellow Next to it a gas truck is driving up to Ange’s Super Service. Driver Elisabeth Cosgrove jumps out as Keith Phillips crawls from under Clarence Spencer’s Hudson and grease monkey Harold Klettner rounds the corner. Harold gestures and they all look up to see a silver plane winging through the blue. I now adjust the orystal ball so that I may look inside the plane. I see that the plane is piloted by Francis Hamilton and that the air hostess, Alyce Skuta, has Just informed passengers, Riohard Hendrick, Dave Wright, Harold Ward, and Richard Haenke that they are only a few hours out of Hollywood. They are talking about oomposer Erio Johnson who had idled away the hours on his last trip by writing a symphony. The plane enters a cloud which takes the shape of the White House where we find Jaok Hyslop in the President’s office dictating to his secretary, Rita Siemen. Maids, Hazel Hart and Virginia Godziszewski, have just finished dusting the blue room, while in the kitchen cooks, Dcr othy DeLand and Lois Gregory, prepare dinner for guest Congresswoman, Joanne Stevens. The cloud is blowi away by tropical breeze and palm trees sway in the image that has Just now appeared. I see a olub. Hobo Junction, owned by Don Riohards with smooth operator Eddie Ledford, as manager. As I look closely I see two oigarette girls, Mary Alice Lents Betty Dalling. Bounoers, Gerald Hawley and LeRoy Kipp stroll in brushing off their hands. Hobo Junction fades and a laundry, Bubel’s Laundry, appears. Dean has at last bought out Curley. I see Edgar Commandella working in the pressing department A Jack Taylor tailoring custom made suits. Laundries are doing strange things these days. in the mending room Ruth Stump is sewing on buttons. Ah, there is Erma Manfrin at the counter out front exchanging clean olothes for money. A blinding flashl The laundry disappears J Now a radio station, WOW, takes form and inside i see Barbara Baumann giving one of her weekly broadcasts with Bernard Hartel, the announcer. Disk Jockey, Robert Kennedy, just fitted on Platter No. 1 while waiting for sound effects by Marilyn Chesnut. In her private office, secretary Lois Hill frantioally answers fan mail and Mary Lou Maples answers the constantly ringing telephone. A fog settles down ore r the crystal ball and as it clearsl see an advertisement taken from Hugo Brockdorff’s paper. Spirit of »48, for Marysville’s 5th Avenue Barber and Beauty Salon. Proprietor LeRoy Hawley has just engaged the famous hair dresser, Helen Shart This is the very shop where world famous models, Jackie Warsin, Lucille Paraieke, and Lois Anderson, come for treatments along with Dick Luoiani whose hair is now a bright blonde. -Continued next page-

PROPHECY (Continued) The scene changes from Marysville ' s 5th Avenue to the north woods where I see trappers Morris Lasher. Bob Ransom, and Charles Englert floating their winter ' s catoh of furs down river. When they reaoh the trading post, they will spend the night at John Shiimnel and Alex Pietroski ' s homestead. A myriad of colors appear as the trading post vanishes and Franois Water ' s High and Dry Cirous appears. Billboards shouting the merits of sword-swallower. Bob Fleming, and snake charmer, Margaret Doman, precede the appearance of the big top. Here cane clowns, Jim Marks. Bob Moulton, and Albert Teeple scurrying from the tent as the band plays stirring music for trapeze artists, Jean Smith and Bob Sawdon. Behind the soenes lady lion tamer, Betty Wolff, wields a whip ccaxingly at her pets and bareback rider, Ilif Van Camp, practices for Hie next act. Our front barker, Leon Briggs, has finally convinced lawyer, Charles Lents to enter and see Jaokie Heddle, world ' s champion roller skater. As the act finishes the disperses across the street to Marjorie Marks ' s ’’Soda Parlor. crowd Two doors down the street I see the dime store owned by heiress Alice Little. As the image becomes clearer I see Vonda Sweet walking the floor, — she ' s the floor walker of oourse,— and Barbara Knisley behind the candy oounter. Joyoe London, the cash girl, is run- ning helter skelter trying to break millionaire Mary Bowman ' s C note. The image has tipped and as it rights it self we see the office of Lewis Radske, the smiling undertaker, who must get us all in the end. Now the ball clears and I see no more, students graduating from MHS in 1948 .
