CLASS PROPHECY Scene: Nursery in the home of Mrs. Eldon Koehl (the former La Verne Metz). It shows the taste La Verne always had in those same good old days at school; such as a photograph of a hunting scene above the bed of her in- fant son, Eldon, Jr. Time: Ten years from today, 1949. La Verne saw to it that she wasn’t an old maid in good time since leap year was the year after graduation in 1940. Lucky for her! La Verne sits proudly watching her son rattle his rattle as a knock comes at the door and the shy, bashful Mr. Koehl enters. La Verne: Hello, dear, home from work so early? Eldon: Yes, your father said he could handle the grocery trade by himself. And besides, I have other things on my hands. I’ve been picked by the Fairbury Blade to write the “Ten Years Ago To- day” column and that means I’ll have to dig in my old trunk in our room. My old Criers and newspapers are still there, I hope. La Verne: Yes, I think they are. May I help you? Eldon: Oh, I suppose you will. You know I just can’t do anything right with you, I mean without you. La Verne: Close the door softly, so Eldon, Jr., will sleep, Daddy. You know how you like to stay up with him while I get my beauty rest. (Pause). Well, here’s the bedroom. Eldon: Yes, and here’s the trunk. Now if I can get this open. Ah. there we are. And there’s the ’39 Crier right on top. That was the year we gradu- ated. Too many awful things have hap- pened in ten years—nice ones. too. but mighty few. La Verne: Here are the Senior pic- tures. We’ll start in alphabetical order. Do you know what happened to Judy Ann? Of course she wasn’t an old maid. We all knew that before school was out. Eldon: She’s on the school board and she has the big hand in putting on the proms. She has some good ideas that keep the kids there, too. La Verne: Willard Bess is next. He was that fellow that got a Scotch hair- cut now and then. Eldon: Do you know what he did? He was tired of truck driving and want- ed some easy money, so he entered the contest on who has dated the most girls in one year. He won and now he runs the “Rialto” in Chicago. It’s really a hot number, chorus girls are lousy up there. Must go up some week-end. La Verne: May I go? Eldon: I should say not; I think we’d better call the whole thing off. Who’s next? La Verne: Melvin Bushman. Eldon: We saw him up at the Cubs game last week. He’s a private arm doctor to Diz Dean the fourth. He’s making good money, too. I guess he’s bad company for Diz though. Likes his whiskey too well! La Verne: It’s a good thing you don’t like it. Here’s Eugene Carlson. Eldon: He went to Harvard and made the Varsity basketball team his third year. He now coaches at Weston and is postmaster there, too. La Verne: Glen Cooper seems to be next in line. I’ll bet he was successful. He always was such a good boy. Never broke training rules or anything. Eldon: Do you realize what Glen is? He’s a bouncer in the Cross Roads Cafe at Forrest. And do you know what he does? In order to keep his job he pays his bosom buddy, Jim Lester, to come in and act very disorderly, thus giving Pete an opportunity to show his stuff to his boss. La Verne: I’ll bet that's a hard job for Jim. He never was much for dis- turbing the peace. Well, well, here’s Phyllis Deputy. Remember her? Eldon: Yes, I do. Let me see, I’m sure I looked her up. Of course. You know, she always had a yearning for sweaters. Everything she wore she put a sweater on it well, to make a long story short, she has a sheep farm and gets the wool right off of the sheep and makes it into sweaters. She has now imported Angora sheep from which she makes Angora sweaters. They are very expensive and some cost as much as $25. La Verne: I will have to have one. Perhaps I could get a duplicate of my black and gray and white barrel sweat- er. It seems to be wearing, and after it was guaranteed by the manufactur- ers, too. But I guess I have worn it several times. Eldon: Only several? Who’s next? La Verne: Jerome Downing. Page 26
