 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY OF 1938 A dignified spectress now issued forth from the midst of the ghostly crowd. This was Dorothy Monahan, who had been a Sales Manager of the Vegetable and Humane Company which sold eye glasses for potatoes and ear trumpets for corn. Following this last spectress came Lucille Kueffner who was the noted designer of clothes for Charlie McCarthy and Ed Wynn. Then two dignified phantoms, Marilyn Brown and Elaine Schade, sauntered gracefully forth and announced that they had once instructed Germanville debutantes how to be presented at a Police Court. Rushing out from the ghostly group. Flip Frobish explained to Karloff that he had owned a chain of Flippfs 66 filling stations and that he had spent most of his life looking for the missing link. Now Karloff's attention was called to the former Ruth Ford who said she had been a gay divorcee with twelve husbands and that she had written that best seller Husbands To Have and To Hold . Next in line was Bernadine Ehraan who is remembered in reference to the music world. She and her hill-billy husband toured the country with the Rural Rhythm Roamers, a hill-billy orchestra. During intermission Bernadine rendered selections on her bazooka. Then Miss Mackey pushed a button and out came the ghost of Charlotte Trinkle through an opening in the wall. Charlotte explained that during her lifetime, due to much previous experience on refreshment committees in high school, she had opened an automat, which featured melancholy cream puffs. Two spirits came forward and the first one recognized as Danny Kyburz, led the way with a great clanking of milkbottles, followed by a bent old ghost answering to the name of Coach Hummel. Danny said that he had furnished evaporated milk and vanishing cream for Hummel's all-star vanquished athletic teams. Nosing her way to the front, Geraldine Hornickel now appeared. She was the former secretary for U. Snoopen, I. Findem Detective Agency and had spent fifty years of her life trying to find what puts the twist in pretzels and how to seal a sieve full of water. A very pompous ghost stepped forward wringing his hands and smiling patronizingly, told how he, Frank Garrity, as uncrowned king of Tammany hall in New York City, had spent most of his life getting a bill passed for the building of a home for orphaned tigers. A very professional looking phantom now appeared. It was Dr. Maynard Game, bird and animal chiropodist who achieved fame as the originator of the idea of bedroom slippers for bed-bugs. Helen Wooten came forward next and related her experiences as the first mayor of Germanville. The last ghost to be introduced was William Turner who had been a scientific pupil of Professor Figgsbottle from whom he had received his Master's degree for aiding the professor in inventing radiators for Igloos. Suddenly Coach Hummel pulled out a time bomb which he threw into the midst of the group and which exploded an instant later at the hour of twelve. Karloff was blown into the air and back into the land of the living. As he picked himself up and shouted for his companion, he wondered if it was all a dream or did he really see the ghosts of 1938's Senior Class.
