JUNE, 1935 21 Class Prophecy The scene is in a boom mining town in the middle of Arizona. The time is 1944. A great gold rush is on. I was visiting this town, called Vir- ginianville, and as I strolled down the main street I saw a sign over a general store. It read, Russo, Bruso, and Russo. I wondered, for the names sounded familiar, so I went into the store. My thoughts were confirmed, for there was Nick Russo and his sister, Mary, trying to sell some year old peanuts to an old miner. Richard Bruso was in the cor- ner trying to sleep. He couldn't sleep though. for there was a voice yelling outside together with the sound of beat- ing hoofs. I followed Richard outside and was almost knocked off my feet with amaze- ment at what I saw. There was my quiet and sedate school friend, Robert Oaksford, riding a wild bronc down the main street. He had turned trickw. rider and was showing his wares to the people of the town. I then went across the street to rent a horse in the livery stable. I was sur- prised to find my good friend, Willard Bennett, cleaning out horses' stalls. Near him, sitting down, was his wife with ten howling kids. Their mouths were so wide open that I couldn't dis- tinguish their features. The wife was bossing Willard and, of course--'yoll know it was Helene Heimer. As I continued once more on my way down the dusty street, I saw a lit- tle family argument in a two-story flat. Dorothy Ernst was hitting her husband Henry Cenzano, because Henry was al- ways tickling their only child. I started off down the street again but stopped in amazement because everything was so quiet. I learned from a native, ,Mary Martorelli, of the town that the Phantom was back. I looked in the saloon and saw the Phantom. He was Milton DeMartine, and was try- ing to abduct the glamorous saloon dancing star, Antoinette Torino. ' The Phantom succeeded and in a Far Horizons Clbrophecyl flash was on his way on his fast pinto. But Philip Rowan, the town's sheriff, was hot on Milt's trail with his gang of cowboys, Louis Gattie, Leonard Pro- cita, John King, Anthony LaMantia, George Curtin and Burdette Riggs. It meant much to Philip because if he landed the Phantom it would put him and his love on the town's only boule- vard. I kept walking on, but stopped when I saw a lovely young woman pushing an apple cart. It was Evelyn Remington, who was being mistreated by her hus- band, Carl Armstrong. I tried to give Evelyn a few dollars but she refused to take them, saying that Carl would take the money away from her in order to spend it on June Rosa, with whom he was having an underhand affair. But I consoled Evelyn with the words, Never mind, Eve, my dear, I will go and get Richard Cosselman to knock the stuffings out of Carl. With those words I raced away and our gay and handsome Romeo, Richard Cosselman. I told Dick my sad story but he could not help me, for he was engaged to a dashing cowgirl who happened to be Dorothy Robarge. Since no one could help me I just did the dirty work myself. After I got through with my sight- seeing I started down the street toward my room. I got half way there, when Frank Vetro unceremoniously put a fresh printed paper in my hand. He was screaming something in a loud, piping voice which I couldn't under- stand. I looked at the paper and learned that a rodeo was going to take place in town that afternoon. Ithought I'd go, so turned quicklyto my board- ing house. As I neared the rodeo grounds, I heard a voice crying, Hi-de-hodeo, all of thee come to our rodeo. The voice sounded so familiar that I shouldered my way through the crowd and glanced at the hailer. My thoughts were gratified, for it was Billy Oberg calling everyone to the show. According to the show cards pasted around, the main attraction that noon was going to be a football game. The Bar-B Boys were going to play the Baker Street Butchers. I wanted to see the game very much because all of my pals were going to play. On the Bar-B Boys eleven there was Fred Handy, Richard Allen, Burton Warner, Elmer Mezza, Albert Persico, Nate Greenbaum, Don Johnson, Robert King, Earl Folmsbee, Albert Fagant and Pat Lombardo. The coach is that former bench boy, Bartle Avery. But my money was put on the Baker Street Butchers when I heard who they were: Bill Oberg, David Kinney, Claude Lipe, Allyn Kennedy, Alfred Matulik. Vincent Schepis, Bill Blanchard, Charles Bedell, Raymond Mercer and Sam Karem. Their coach was Richard Put- man, the famous water boy. After the game, I won't tell you the score-I strolled down the midway looking over the various attractions. I heard Peter Javarone yelling to the crowd telling them to gather near. He then told us of a. man who had never spoken over 150 words in his life. The admission was fifteen cents to see this man. I paid the money and walked inside the tent. I looked at the man and was so surprised that I just about fainted. For there was my friend, John McDer- mott, who was supposed to be a mummy. After looking around for awhile I proceeded to the grandstand. Here I met my good friend, Runs Gilbert, with his wife, Jean Graff. Russ was going to ride an outlaw horse that afternoon. I heard afterwards, though, that they had to make a special air cushion for him so he could sit down. After the rodeo I visited that school house which the Virginian's wife, -- Molly Stark Wood-used to teach in. I looked closely at the teacher and was surprised to see the unmistakable lines of Beatrice Slade in her face. The teacher, Beatrice, was trying to get a little child to recite a long poem.
