CLASS PROPHESY What a grand spring clay...... just the type of day to tackle that Job of cleaning the attic....Goodness knows it needs it....... it hasnft been cleaned since I don’t know when...Perhaps I should wrap a towel around ray head...I Ju3t washed ray hair and I do hate to get it all cobwebby right away. Where s the mop, and the pail, and the broom, and the duster? • Here' goes Boy, what a job ahead of me. Why or where did I ever get the bright idea of cleaning the pleco? That's what the first breath of spring does to a woman....she isn't satisfied until she has the house all tom up. Let's r.cc. What shall I tackle first, ’.light as well clean out that stack of books and papers...they have been a fire hazard for years. Here's an old chair.......might as well be corafortoble. A Readers Digest for September, 1945........that's an old one. 7 e used to read those., for English classes. How Hiss Hawkins would gloat over our failures on those vocabulary tests.

Look at those pictures. .That funny clothes we wore then... sweaters and skirts and bobby-socks. Who's this?........why, that's Danny Tinnon............good old Tennessee. Tho last I heard about Danny was that he is a profes- sor of English In a fashionable school for girls. I always thought that strange because he didn't seem especially to like Ihglish in high school. Well, one never knows.... Here's Florence Pace. The last I heard of her was when she fillibustered for 4 weeks in Congress against the proposed bill to make horse racing Illegal In the United States. She put Montana on the map at any rate. And Gwen Olson. Well, as I live and breathe. Let's see.... what did I read about her? Oh, I remember. I saw her name in one of the magazines the other day advertising her new Universal Hair Style . That gal did right well for herself..........married 3 tir.es, made a name for herself, and made loads of money. I gufcss I'll go call Helen to see If she knows anything more about the kids. Main 2398, please Hello, Helen. How are you? What ara I doing? Believe it or not I'm cleaning the attic. You'll never guess what I found........ our old school annual....I hadn't realized how time flies until I looked st the date......194G.....imagine.....1 wonder if you know where some o: the kids are now.... What about Maurice Bone? What's he doing now?..........what's that?.....he's a traveling salesman... .whet Joes he sell?......oh, ray goodness....books on hypnotism, end patent medicine ....doesn t that sound just like Maurice....1 bet that guy's making money for himself. Soy, Helen, I want to ask you about Tllen Baker........yes, I knew that some relative of Chuck's died cr.d left him some money.. They ore touring the country in a caravan of de luxe trailer houses? Why the caravan?...Oh, to accommodate the entire family, huh? Mamma, papa and all the kids....10 kids? Holy smoke. It's a good thing somebody died and le t them, money.
