19-PERISCOPE-32 15 SENIOR PROPHECY-1932 Weary, discouraged, and broken hearted, after wandering aimlessly from the snowcapped peaks of Alaska to the fading blue mountains of Mexico, I. Milo Fudge, determined to collect all of my courage, and come back to the haunts of my former days where I once found paradise but suddenly lost it. I longed to see that coZY little bungalow surrounded by the rose covered picket fence where Minnie. my be. loved wife, used to greet me at sundown, at the gaiden' gate. One year of beaver-ly bliss we spent there but the cruel hands cf Fate gripped each of us and tore us aipart, and due to the judge's decision, Minnie is now known by her maiden name. Longenecker. For ten years I have wandered, seeking the happiness I once knew. To my amazement, I saw large mansions extending from where the school house o11ce stocd.to the sandy beaches of Bite Lake. Pere. I gazed with wondering QYES at a blazing sign which said, Rindfusz Park. Thinking that Dortha, with he.- busi- ness qualities. might be the Cwner of this park, I set forth to find the maain office. While walking along I passed near a side show where a curly, red-haired girl was attracting a. crowd to a side show called Human Knots, Having plenty of time, I stopped to watch her lovely figure as she did several difficult acts. As she moved by me she smiled and winked and vanished into- the tent. I strolled' on across the park to the main office where a. prim stenographer came briskly fetrward to meet me. In answer to my inouiry as to who was the owner of thig park, she replied, Doi-tha Rindfuszf' I exclaimed, She used to be my classmate. Immediately the prim young lady said, Why, who are you? I was in that class' myself. We then intro- duced oulselves asain as we did the first day of school, and I found this young lady to be Jessie Smith. As it was about lunch time Jessie, both to be friendly and seeing my financial condition, asked me to lunch with her. The restaurant, only a few feet away, Jessie told me was owned jointly by Dale Roberson and his wife, who in 1932 was known as Hazel Green. We sat at a little whiite table' near- the front, and as a pretty young waitress came to get our order Jessie said, Ariadne, do you remember Milo Fudge. who was a classmate of ours? Milo, this is Ariadne Shively. As the dinner proceeded we cfnversed about curl classmates. I found that Evelyn Richey, the star basket ball player, had mariied Bink XVIse ancli they were living cozilv with five boy children in South Whftley. Jessie continued and said that the shy little Helen Halter fret vt ith a piece of great luck, and is ttravelirg companion of a wealthy widow' and is at the plesent time traveling in southern Europe. And Ida Barcus, the champion debater, has taken her sistey Roxie's place and .isi nbw' an old- maid school teacher in Collins. Mary Evelyn Hall, Ida's bosom companion, is now general maid for the Nickey household at Collins. Bob Nickey, the proud father of ten children tincluding twin girlsl, I was tcld had married Jane Brooks, and is now a large onion grower and on the brink of financial independence. Olaf Raypole car- ried her music talents through the years and has become a famous opera singer- fn Chicago. At this point our conversation is lIltlll'l'lll'L6d as the same red-haired gI'rl that had attracted my attention in the park stepped, into' the doorway. As Jessie watched me stare at her she said softly. That's Bonnie Annie Laurie. To this I replied, 'H'l1l'll, so that is my old classmate, Bonnie Laurie. She hasn't changed one bit. As Bonnie passed' on we continued the conversation, and I learned that the slowly moving Edna May Roberson had settled drfwn cn the farm with her husband. Pete Gordon. I found to my sorrow' that the Briggs-Rees romance was not proceeding very rapidly, for Rosalyn was getting tired of supporting her no-account husband. Jim Briggs by taking in washings. It is being rumoled that she is heginnintg to realize that the Sullivan-Rees combination might have been the better of the two. Since the conversation was becoming sorrowful at this point, the conversation turned to Mabel Jagger and Carl McCoy, who now live near Avilla where they have a very large poultry farm. tContinued' On Page 25D
