1? THE LIFE NINETEEN TWENTY-oN14: f , f lZl755 FIFUFHEL' Y R fgju Cm' mf u. .sw ' Between us and the Future there is a veil. It is a transparent veil but only the eyes of God can pierce its silken film. If you doubt that try a little prophecying. I did and I know. I looked in a crystal and all I saw was that a hair pin was falling out. I went to a fortune teller and she told me a lot of lies. She said none of us were going to be famous. So l thought l'd get in communication with some of the spirits myself. 1 finally got in connection 'with Cassandra. Ever hear of Cassy? She was supposed to have the gift of prophecy, but the sad part of it was nobody would believe her. Evidently she tor-k pity on me, for she put me in on a telephone conversation twenty years hence between Mary Baker and Florence Timblin. Mary is the same old gossip she always wasfthought maybe Hugh could do something with her but I guess he eouldn't. Timniie is runnnig a drug store at this time-I couldn't make out whether it was Kremer's or MacC.trthy's. The first name I hear is John 1'arish's-John seems to be the President of the United States. N'Vell, well, I thought, to become famous you have to be able to take hard knocks and refusals. Bet John got his first practice selling tickets for the Senior banquet. Then Mary said, Sad about Geraldine Farrar. isn't it? Why she committed suis-idx the other day in a Ht of jealousy over Katharine XVood. The conversation turns religious. They say that Ilev. XVm. Kellenbl-rg has just returned from China, where he has been doing missionary work for the past tive years. Oh yes, and Bis'hop Collins is in town-Bishop .lohn Collins. Timmie says, I always thought he'd play Basket Ball. He did for a while, but it was too hard on the girls. Bill Mac still is though. I hear Lucille Hendricks is playing in Milwaukee this week. Pa- erewski is in Oshkosh but everybody is going to hear Lucille. Bak pipes up, Do you ever hear from Ike Norton? Her latest book 'Sensations oi an English Teacher' is just out. By the way that shows how our ambitions change. Now this is a black and blue secret and keep it under your hat, but Ike Norton told me the other day her one ambition was to be a. chorus girl-preferably front row. But to return to the conversation with apologies to Miss Baker and Miss Timblin for interrupting them-Bak says, 'Tm SO glad Arnie lirbahns got in as principal of the High School. I know he'll make a good one. tlnterruption again. You know there are three really important positions in the world-King of England, President of the U. S. and Principal of the Fond du Lac High School. NVe seem to have two of them in our class and while we make no claim on royalty, we have Maurice Hardgrove, Old King Cole. J Timmie- Have you seen Fern Buehner in her latest movie? Bill and I liked it awfully well. XVhat? Oh, of course Claude is playing opposite her. Say didn't we have a good time at Lil Thrall-I mean Lil Harloridge's silver wedding last night and didn't Ike look cute? Bak- Yes, and I meant to ask you, are you voting for Helena Haentze for mayor? It's about time we had a woman mayor anyway. This conversation continues for an hour and I find Cece Doyle a fascinating di- vorcee, divorced and remarried six times and with rumors of another venture with Mar- shall Boudry as friend husband. Ev Brandt is now Senator Brandt, famous for his speech on the Esch-Cummins Bill. We have no less than three others on the H. S. faculty- Putt Wallicks teaching English, Dot MacCarthy Aesthetic dancing ta new subject , and XVilfred Milligan introducing the horrors of U. S. History to infantile minds. Marge Dollard, we find, is posing for advertisements for Danderine tfrce photo of And Her Golden Hair was Hanging Down Her Back with every purchasea The enterprise is backed by F. L. VVolff, mayor of Fond du Lac. I always did get cut off in the most interesting part of a conversation and anyway half the joy of life is looking forward to the future because we don't know what it holds for usfso I won't take away any more joy. lt's all settled we're going to be famous anyway. So here's to us-it's so seldom you find a perfect class. Page Tuw2nty-seven 3
