g THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1-9-3-9 again the Green Hornet took me across the country to Washington D. C. I found Mary giving a lecture on social problems in the chapel of Gallaudet College, where she had become a famous professor. I decided to make one more request before breaking my power over the Green Hornet and that was to visit the California School for the Deaf. When I arrived at the school, I found new faces, new teachers and also many new buildings. How long it seemed since I was a student there! Having visited my former classmates and Alma Mater I returned to my home happy in the thought of all my classmates' leading happy and useful lives. .

THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1'9'3'9 CLASS PROPHECY In the year of 1959, I, Stanley Vranesh, wishing to know what had be- come of my former classmates, decided to find out. Being a great magician, I could easily do that with my magic lantern. So taking it up, I gave it a few rubs on the sides until the Green Hornet appeared to do my bidding. I commanded the Green Hornet to take me to Anita Leichel. I was taken to far away Holland and with a surprise was led into an art shop to see Anita standing behind the counter. But soon I slipped back into the United States. It was about dinner time when I gave the next command. The command was to take me to a cafe. In the lunch room a slim figure pulled up beside me. It was nobody but Shirley Dunlap. Shirley explained that her love for cooking led her to open a lunch room. I become curious as to what became of Frank Paniagua. At my command I was soon in his presence. Frank had a large farm, a wife and three kids. I then vanished into thin air and decided to look up Racy Drake. I found him busily at work in a large print shop, boldly displaying his name above the front door. I-Ie did not recognize me until I spoke to him. I then asked about his work and himself and he told me that he had a nice home and a set of twins. Looking up, I saw Merle Davis and Billy Curtin, who were printers at Drake's. Merle was married and owned a house in the suburbs while Billy was single and saving his money to become a multi-millionaire. My next visit was with Elberta Torgerson. Elberta revealed how she eloped right after graduation. Leaving Elberta I proceeded to look for Roy Miller. Finding him I began to question him. I elicited the fact that he was an A-1 truck farmer. Sorry, folks, but he was a bachelor. After that the Green Hornet surprised me and took me in the presence of Catherine Eng- strom. Catherine went through college waiting for her boy friend to graduate so they could get married. I decided to take a peep into the life of Joseph Pospisil. He was the head of a large cabinet shop and had hopes of owning his own shop. Looking up Audrey Harris, I found her to be a nurse in a day nursery for babies. Next I visited Florence Brown and Frances Perry. Both were married and living very happily. Flying to Pauline Schneider I found her sitting quietly at a desk with a typewriter in front of her. She began telling me that she loved her manager and they hoped to live in the mountains when they got married. From her I set out to visit Roger Specht. The Hornet took me to a garage called i'Specht's Garagef, Talking with Roger, I learned that he had a girl and hoped to marry her when he became ric. enough. He told me that William Inman was one of his best helpers. It .fa f ' 1 Roger that I got information regarding Mary Sladek. Once E211
