24 CHINTIIVIINI Senior Prophecy The Corvallis Philosophical Society presents the marvelous mystic, Mitgar Mondroshek, at the Whiteside Theatre, Friday evening, November 15, 1948. Thus road an aflvertisernent which appeared in the Corvallis G.-T. last week. With nothing but the prospect of spending a dreary evening together we decided to attend the lecture. His interesting entertainment prompted us to ask for a private interview. After learning our names, he gave his consent, and we were astonished to discover his identity-our old school pal oi' the class ot '30, Derald de Lancey, who, through his intense studies, had merited the power of divination from the Fates. Our discussion, of course, led to our old classmates, and we earnestly entreated him to reveal their present doings. He placed the '30 Chintimini under his mystic globe and as he read the names of our classmates, a view of their present condi- tions were disclosed to our view in the globe. In the first scene, we saw none other than the great Fred Wiese, who has become famous for his exotic dance of the Seven Veils. Immediately this scene vanished and to our unbelieving eyes, the fair figure of Chuck Buxton appeared. Chuck is now a contortionist in Mildred Bonge's Traveling Museum, and with his manly physique as an example of how he grew thin in thirty days, he is thrilling thousands. Gertrude Wood- cock, now Mrs. Gilbert Rexford, seemed to be the first of the vast audience to beg for a private interview with Mr. Buxton. Ah, another vision came before us, and this was none other than the noted entomologist, Albert Armstrong, who has made his pile and is happily living with his flaven-haired Wife, Gretchen Niece, on top of old Baldy. Well, who'd have thought it? Ronald Hall and Louise Allen! At last these two great artists of the age are working on a Song and Dance hit, in which Miss Allen will be featured in her vivid Swan Dance. The next vision was so touching that we nearly wept. Who should we see but Bob Howells and Maxine Peterson. Evidently Bob and Maxine had had a good old fight. Poor Maxine was begging, with tears in her eyes, for Bob to listen to her pleading. This was so sad that we begged to see something else. The scene then shifted to the community church of Philomath. What ho! Could it be true? Yes, there he was-The Reverend Junior Gilmore, with his fists flying and his hair ruffled, due to a heart-rending sermon on Guidance of Our Young Generation. In the rear of the little church ga, , f 5 k j , fl X

CHINTIIVIINI 95 stood Deacon Davis and Deacon Truax, anxiously waiting to gather the donations of the congregation. Then our attention was called to Lant Brown, choir director, who was getting the organ tuned to accompany Paul Yundt, the community soloist, in his new number, The Flight of the Deer. In the same community of Philomath we saw a national convention of the Women's Aid Society-and there were three of our old classmates, Betty Stover, Phyllis Lester and Dorris Scott, who have been selected to have their pictures hung in the society's Hall of Fame. Aha! Also ho, ho, ho, ho! Imagine Bob Getz and Ramona Jackson demonstrating Gillette safety razors in Russia. At this same time we saw Mary Dolan and Ellsworth Myers demonstrating Ford tractors in Ber- muda. We always kncw that Mary and Elly would make good. Again the vision in the mystic globe changed-and whom did we see there? Yes, sir, it was Skiddy Race and William LeVee planting their an- nual supply of tulips in Iceland. Nearby is a large, lemon-shaped cold drink stand where we saw Bessie Price and Elmo Holl selling Eskimo pies to the natives. Well, well, well. Then we saw little Jackie Walker who is now acting as head matron of a sanitorium for people with halitosis and pyorrhea. Among the happy inmates are Lloyd Millhollen, Marvin Lindseth, Bruce Beardsley, Billy Kerr and Luzerne Alexander. After this last vision, the crystal grew creamy and dull looking. That is all, said the great Mitgar Mondroshek, There may be some that we have omitted, but 1 can't seem to get in 'touch with them. After having a little chat over pink tea and marmalade, we departed, feeling somewhat better. And now, the time has come, dear readers, for us to depart until an- other time. We are sorry, kind friends We cannot roast you all, But our victims are many- And our oven is small. PETER RALSTON VEE LORA .ia I -T .4 X. e ff X- mf N 5 QOQADS Q fy ,.,. of li ff ftfkffi uns:
