 JLA33 PROPHECY My Pal find I veIked into the Study Hall end plopped ourlelves i 0 our seats. It had been a herd, tiresome morning '.vita nothing out tests. So we put our heads down on our de3ks, hoping to catch a few winks, long enough to dresm of the Seniors of ’47, who had been on our minds. The scene thet first came into our vision was that of the Fulton County Fair. V e saw a small tent and on the outside were the words Your Hands Iv'ay Reveal Your Future . V e vent farther on into the tent to find a tali, dark haired fortune teller, whom we recognized as Helen Carroll. Before her stood a beautiful blonde, and her husband-to-be. After a few glances we knew it must oe V ilma V illson and Marvin Johnson. She was read- ing their palm3 but we moved on hoping to see some more of this wonderful class. ’.Ve heard a sound of music coming from a larger tent and knew we v ould be sure to fin: some of them there, because they had so much music talent when they went to Fulton. As v e set down in our seats the director of the band turned to the audience to announce the next number, and v ho should it be but Allyn Schmit and his Jumping Jazz Band , and the star singer was Florence Thome s. Then ve decided to go into the grendstsnd and watch the ra es and found Leo Szebo and Marvin Donnelly as jockeys. 7 hen they turned and saw us watching them, they waved and then rode on, both confident of v inning the race. Then it was time for the Free Acts , and there was Marilyn Putman and Donald Simon doing all 3orts of acrobatic f ts. V ell, well, there’s the Forrest fam- ily, as tight rope walkers. Mrs. Forrest, the former Luella Watkins had just 1( t A1 Schnitz’s bend. I understand she was hi3 star drummer, but Al’s fiancee, Eleanor Saunders, has taken her place. You remember Eleanor was always a girl to get a- head but since her great-great uncle died and left her his fortune she doesn’t have to work any more. Then on the stage appeared about 50 dogs, big and small, with Ramoi. Battin as their trainer. They H me Ramon is thinking of joining 3arnum-Bailey Circ as lion trainer, after e short honey-moon with his new bride, the former Laura Poormen. Before going back home, we decided to teke a ride on a ferris wheel. When we v e re clear on the top v e could see a Hill” in the distance, end there was Ber- neda Rechtine, enjoying life in her new Hollywood type home that He had just finished for her. Just then the bell rang and we moved on to our lock- ers to find our books, feeling much happier because v e knew what our last year’s Seniors were doing.
