Cl ass Prophecy Time: 1941. As 1 was gazing up at the Great Pyramid in Egypt some one quietly came up to me and took me by the arm and exclaimed, “Why, hello there. 1 didn’t hardly expect I’d see you here.” 1 in- stantly turned and who should be standing at my side but my old pal, Esther Meindertsma. “Well, 1 guess 1 wasn’t planning on meeting you here either,” 1 replied. After our first excitement was over I asked if Florence wasn’t with her and she said that Flor- ence was somewhere around. Esther: “And you can't guess what we’re doing. Florence sings and I accompany her on the piano. We’ve been in 47 of the 48 states and now we’re going all over Europe and maybe around the world.” Antoinette: “Well, I declare. Let’s find Florence and talk awhile.” F: “Alright. We’ve seen a lot of the kids of our class in our travels thru the States.” A: “Tell me all about it! And what do you think of this! llellen Louise French is the chaperon of our little party.” F: “And while we were in New York we went to the Zieg- field follies and whom should we see as chorus girls but Beulah Smith and Kitty Atkins. A: “You know, I always thought they’d be great actresses.’’ E: “And while we were in Utah we ran across John YanMul- ligan and Lynn Bigler. They are Senators from the 74th Congres- sional District of that state. In Montana we met Julia TenBrink, who said she had gone West because she was broken-hearted from one of her love affairs.” A: “And who do you suppose I met in Vienna? It was I-Jow Lee and he was gaining lots of fame with his great tenor voice but for a pastime he poses for the Pepsodent Tooth Paste ads.” E: “Well, well. And we met James Luther in Chicago. Af- ter leaving C. 11. S. he took up penmanship and is now a great penman. The latest we heard was that he is now teaching baby- chicks hen-scratching. A: “I’ve just been over in China and there 1 read all about Bob Bliss. The papers say he has quieted all the disorder down there.” F: “Well, 1 always thought he’d do something great like that and that reminds me. I read in the Allendale Airings the other day that Cliff Scott and Harrv Nibbelink struck an oil well right Page Twenty-eight
