A green bit of crystal revealed another senior Margaret Little, and her husband, Harold Mor- ford, vacationing in New York City. They had a dairy in South Carolina and furnished goat milk for a negro orphanage. We saw them bid good-bye to their high school friend, Ralph Warren. He had re- cently received much publicity, as he had ridden “Rosebud ’ the winning horse at the Kentucky Derby. It was rumored that Paris was his destination and as Georgia Ulmer was an interior decorator there, we decided that the rumor was probably true. We saw Mr. Huffman, as the principal of Chester in a metallic piece of crystal. He was also a sponsor of the Senior class and was chaperoning it on its annual tour to Indianapolis. While there the students visited the state legislature in session. Mr. Huffman saw his present fellow-faculty members, Edwin Grossnickle and Roland Lorton. Mr. Grossnickle was Speaker of the House; we. the staff members, marveled as we heard him deliver a dramatic speech. Mr. Lorton, president of Purdue, was in the lobby very much interested in the passage of a bill providing for a $15,000 appropriation to buy modern streamline farm machinery for Purdue University. In a small portion of scarlet crystal we saw Bonita Michael, a kindergarten teacher on Cape Cod, scolding a pupil. The small boy’s features looked familiar, but who was he? He was fat and chubby, with twinkling gray eyes. Then as his mother entered the room, we easily recognized him. for the little fellow resembled his Uncle Royal. From the conversation between Bonita and Mrs. Shull, we learned that Junior had been rather mischievous. His mother, who was formerly Mildred Neher, a Chester teacher, sympathized with her son’s tea her and promised that he would behave better in the future. Having found a tiny orchid piece of crystal, Herschel Merritt cried. “Hey, kids, look at this!’’ The staff members crowded about Hersch to see another future revealed. In the crystal we saw Dwayne Royer conversing with Mr. Searer in a radio studio. Dwayne was the announcer of the Servia Water Heeters’ Program on the V-E-H network. The program was soon to go on the air and Dwayne was busy giving Mr. Searer instructions. Mr. Searer had seemingly replaced H. G. Wells as the world’s most famous historian, and he was an honored guest on the program. In a gay multi-colored fragment of crystal, we saw Miss Lois Ulmer, the musical director at Warner Bros., in New York City in search of new talent for the musical production, “Amiss (Dale) Comes Home.” She had with her a script writer, Bette McClure, of the Warner studios and a make- up man, Arden Westaver. who was an understudy of Max Factor. Miss Ulmer appeared to be greatly pleased with the talent she found in a broadway show. She was especially pleased with the per- formance of two of her former pupils, Mildred Emerick and Herschel Merritt, a popular tap-dancing team. Miss Ulmer also recommended Louise Foster of the Follies to Warner Bros, to play in the “Gold Diggers of ’48.” We saw two seniors, Ruth Smith and Ruby Gump, in a portion of clear, shiny crystal. Ruth Smith was the chairman of the Board of Immigration. She issued entrance papers to the immigrants after Ruby had aided in giving them a physical examination. Ruby had taken nurse’s training after her graduation from Chester. While the staff members were learning the futures of the seniors from the bits of crystal. Mr. Shultz was putting the pieces together. To our annoyance we discovered that two pieces were gone. We searched the room but were unable to find the lost. Finally someone suggested we read the class roll; this we did. and discovered that the futures of Edna Zimpleman and Arthur Gable must have been contained in the missing pieces. Considering the fact that the future of these two was lost, the staff members concluded that it would be a waste of energy to search for the pieces longer, as every one knew Edna and Arthur’s future anyway. At last Virginia Sell found one piece of crystal that revealed the future of Inky. We looked into the crystal and saw our mischievous pet. old and stiff with age, lying before a fireplace. We then began to wonder where Inky could be. We searched the building, but our pet kitty was no where to be found. A few days later Inky came back, tired and footsore. When Miss Book had given him a saucer of cream and Inky had rested, he explained his strange disappearance. Inky told the staff members that when he had gazed into the crystal that landed before his paws, he saw just what we had seen, himse.f as an old cat. He had always been so young and gay. that he never realized he would grow old. At first, he became angry and resolved that he would not grow old, so he had gone in search of the Fountain of Youth. Soon discovering the impossibility of his task, he returned home, content to grow old as all kittens and roast his paws before the fire Now Lady Fortune has informed the staff members that because the crystal was broken, none of the futures will come true, so inky and the seniors really ARE worried.
