GH CLASS PROPHECY Ten years hence finds some of the members of the class of '37 meeting together. Nlr. l'residcnt, XVayne Freeman, is there, you might know. .-Xfter a family feud, he has been editing the Bowling Green Banner, and it has prospered in spite of the 'l'imes. Seated to his right is Richard Schuckenbrock. the present county agent of Pike County, Missouri. Next is Bernice Turpin. who has become the private secretary of Miss Cobb since our teacher has taken the ltead of the English department in one of the large colleges. Ben lfbers. the owner of a large chicken ranch in St. Clement, is seated next to his wife. the former Jessie XVorthington. She was a Home Economics teacher in Fayette so long that she can't see why it wouldn't be economical to divide an egg into three parts for the family breakfast. john Henry Lewis says the station business is booming. Martha Lou Vvhite, the Superintendent of Bowling Green Schools. says that she believes her theory of education is a good one School 'til twelve o'clock noon, twelve days a month. Strange. but her student body backs up her statement. That girl at the end of the table is none other than Louise Haines. No wonder she has a hopeful expression on her face. She thinks she niay pass typing this year after taking a post-graduate course. She finds it necessary to type the research she is doing. Seated next is Tessie Lindsey who flew over to tell tts that slte's beaten Amelia liarhart's flying records. Lucille Trower says that she's doing very well, but that she is tired of writing the Tell it to Lucy column in the l'ost. Yirginia Wilson. a Cyrcue housewife reports that joan Blackwell has become a nun after beitt disillusioned in an early love affair. Around the table to XYayne's left we see the honor guest of the evening. the famous inventor and improver of television, Ralph liranstetter. He is going to show us how his apparatus works. The first scene he focuses his machine upon is that of a flying expedition. Randall Keith. the pilot, of the airship and Illogcne Burkbolder, the petite air hostess, are flying the ship to re-discover the island of Titn-buck-too. Un board we find Commissioner- in-general-of-exploration, Richard Deters, and the former llelen llall and her farmer-husband, Bob Srote. They said they wanted something different. lllogene reports that Yirginia Xliatson was to have gone along but missed the plane. The delay was due to her inability to reduce her luggage to the required thirty-five pounds. She couldn't choose between her red formal and her riding habit. On landing. we see Leavon Lewis. a missionary to the heathen for three' years. and Iloward Moss. who is operating a Vlfhite Rose Gasoline Distributing Co. Turning from the humorous to the pathos. Ralph finds a scene in Reno. Ther-- stands Betty Smith saying. No, your llonor. it's not alimony I want. only freedom. Across the court room sits Ambrose Schumacher, who says he's planning to take up lion-taining as a little more restive occupation after married life. tioing eastward, we look in on New York. Yes, first of all, it would be an office scene. Looking past a door bearing the label The Biggest Mau on Wall Street, we see our own jimmie Kerr seated behind one of those big, roomy desks. He always did go in for big game. Always having a knack for the picturesque and unique, junior Williamson is seen in his favorite haunt, his peut house. Still in New York we see, what at first glance might be a paint factory, but instead it's Doris Tinsley sitting before her easel with more paint on her smock than on her canvas. Across the room sits Illelba Langford, still plunking out her poems on the typewriter. .X romantic little French scene is brought to us. There is head nurse. Mary Harrelson taking the pulse of her patient. Gurdon Cooper, who is the victitn
