This little crystal sphere holds all the past and all the future. It can revel the hidden auu make known the secret. It can tell you what-ever your soul desires to know. I have been asked to search in its magic depths until I discover the future that awaits the members of our class, so soon to take their separate ways. I am about to read the crystal ball, but be- fore doing so, may I ask for your earnest cooperation? If you will but re- main absolutely silent and join me in concentrating upon the future leav- ing your mind wiped free of all conflicating impressions,I can promise you the information you desire. I thank you. There appears a vision of a church. A wedding is taking place, the minister has now pronounced them man and wife. They are now turning, they are Garnett Frogg and her dream man . The scene now changes, we see tall sky-scrapers in New York City. We go to the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. There we find Judith Foley behind the desk keeping books for Mr. Stork. She always wanted to be up in the world, and how much higher can she get? Now we see Marlene Kingbury;she is out in the yard surrounded by her brood. We never dreamt you would be a chicken farmer, Marlene. Now a large room comes into view. It is empty except for two people and a grand piano. A small boy with sticky fingers and a look of agony on his face is trying to play exercise number 13 and his teacher,gritting her teeth to keep from spanking him, is counting one-two-three--one-two-three. She is Eleanor Kluver who is planning to marry soon. The clouds lift again. It is nine o'clock on a May morning. The old school bells are ringing. Tiny kindergarten children are hurrying up the walk to greet their teacher. She is Marietta Devin. Half the kids in the public school are hers. Oh well, she has always said she was going to be a teacher and also that she was going to have a big family, so she combin- ed her ambitions. The scene becomes noisy. Buzzings and ringings fill the ear. I see a long room around the sides of which are seated many girls. It is a tele- phone office. And the head operator is Marlene Hodson.She always did spend most of her time telephoning and seems to have concluded she might as well make some money at it. The scene shifts to the display room of a large gown establishment. A fashion show is now in progress. I was told that the beautiful gowns are designed by Marlene Hefti. I guess those sketches that she made in class- es in high school helped her a lot. CANDY KITCHEN, Britt FARMERS CO-OP CO., Britt
