EXODUS January ’44 CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) I gazed at some more clippings. There was one on Mae Babcox, the draftswoman, who had done outstanding work during the war,. . .The face of Ruth Cook smiled at me from some clippings on aviation which stated that her work had added greatly to the war effort. Eleanor was talking on the phone, “Oh, Beverly Dame? How are you? You re going to sing the lead in ‘Carmen’ for the Metropolitan? Haven’t seen George? Well, thanks a lot. Good-bye.” Robert crossed more names off the list. “Well, let’s be systematic,” said Anne Fenton. “What names do you have left. Robert read off, “Lillian Butler.” “Oh, she’s a public stenographer on a luxury liner between New York and Rio. She’s half-way down the South American coast by new, so she couldn’t possibly have seen George within the past four or five days,” 1 said. “I think I ought to tell you that—” Robert gave me a cold look and continued reading, “Jane Curie, Cora Hulbert—” “Cora called us for the girls who belong to the Hough elementary school P.-T. A. jane Curie belongs; she has twins. Alice Sherry is married and has a little girl, and then there’s Helyn Zarko. She belongs to the P.-T. A, too, and has four children, all boys. They said they haven’t seen George since graduation time,” Eleanor stated. “Here,” said Anne Fenton, “is a special delivery letter from Margaret Koprek, the county agent for Huron county’s farmers. She says that while she hasn’t seen George, she has seen Ernie Santora, coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes He hasn’t had a winning team for two years, but he keeps on hoping.” The telephone rang for the fiftieth time, and Robert answered. “Oh, Marillyn Bolton? Good. . .Composed any new flute solos? Oh, you’re calling from Severance Hall and Gordon Whitney wants you to tell us ditto. . . .playing his own concerto at the concert next week. Well, we’ll all get tickets to hear Gordon tickle the ivories. You bet! So long.” When the telephone rang again, I answered it. “Ruth Sengebusch? Sure, I remember you. At Halle’s advertising department? How nice. And Almira Svatek is a buyer there? Arlene Pearson works in the Credit Office? Hmmm, do you suppose you could fix up some' credit for me? Ruth Phillips is a model there? And not even ONE of you has seen George? Thanks a lot, so long.” “Ed Smith has a dance instruction studio now,” staled Eleanor. “He phoned us be- tween teaching sessions of'his newest dance creation, the ‘Smith Shuffle.’ ” “What about Genevieve Pello?” I queried. “She had the funniest ambition of all; she wanted to be happy and successful.” “Genevieve,” supplied Eleanor, “works for us on the Press. She writes the advice to the lovelorn column. Now she tells other people how to be happy.” “That,” said Robert Clark gloomily, “includes everybody, except Robert Mertz. In every town that I have visited in my F. B. I. quests, I have seen the nut shops which he oper- ates. That slogan ‘Nertz from Mertz' is really sweeping the country.” During the brief quiet which followed, I managed to comment, “I’ve been trying to tell you all along that George came in to see me about that class reunion. Then when we had settled that, he went fishing with Mertz. There’s no mystery; George’s wife and six kiddies just don’t like to see him go fishing, so he has to sneak away!” Oh, how I wish that all the nurses from our class had been there just then! Everybody fainted and I quietly left, closing the door behind me. IS
