as We Aiiee IWW lg 'll As I wandered about the circus grounds the scent of buttered pop corn the sight of h1ny candied apples and the sound of children laughing and calling to one another brought back memories of my ecrrly youth I thought of friends I had all but forgotten 1n the passing years Soon I began to wonder what these same years had brought to the members of my class in high school As I pondered my VISIOH fell on a sian which arrested my attention Here was the answer' Margo the Mystic Knows All Tells All the sign shouted in large red letters Perhaps Margo would tell me of my friends I hurried into the dingy tent and presented myself to the equally dingy Margo placing myself on the cushion opposite her While polishing a large glass ball with the sleeve of her tattered robe she asked me what I wished to know I requested information on all the members of the class of l945 of Glastonbury High School Upon hearing my request she held out her palm to be crossed with silver Having put the money into a greasy leather bag at her waist she proceeded to tell me the following The mystic haze in the crystal ball IS clearing I see a gigantic office building in the center of a large city Hartford Connecticut l believe I see a sign on a door of the seventeenth tloor lt says Mildred Nordblom personnel Manager Good Wlll Bureau On the forty second floor of this same building is the office of the Ames Life Insurance Corn pany Miss Barbara Ames is the president of the company and 1S doing very well In her outer office three gentlemen are waiting to see her Peter Bisi a daredevil on the Indian apolis Speedway Melvin Babcock who has a dangerous iob with the telephone company climbing poles and Iames Barnes who has an equally dangerous iob as Tarzan in the Tarzan motion pictures Next door to Miss Ames office IS that of the East Glastonbury Welfare Committee established and managed by Miss Iean Cohell On the fifty first floor I see a publishing companys office As I gaze a l1ttle harder a list of their best sellers appears on the bulletin board It is coming into focus I can read it now It IS as follows l How to Enter Typing Contests and Win William Aldrich 2 How Quietness 1S an Advantage in the Business World Ianis Shenstone 3 Thoughts from a Stenographer s Scratch Pad Irene Schaeffler The entire top floor I see is given over to an experimental laboratory At one table I see Alvah Russell absorbed in his greatest of discoveries - The Philosophers Stone. With it he hopes to perfect the button that will press the button. At another table sits Miss Dorothy Richardt toiling over a formula for a solution which is guaranteed to stop giggling at a moment's notice. So far she has had little success in working it out. The crystal ball is cloudirig over - we are about to have a change of scenery. Ah l see a beautiful apple orchard in full bloom. Miss Angeline Bona and Miss Gladys Varni are walking about inspecting their crop of absolutely wormless apples. In a neighboring garden Kenneth Horton is explaining his theory of eyeless potatoes to Miss Virginia Wain- man and Miss Theresa Westergom who are vacationing in the country. Miss Wainman manages the 'Wainman Date Bureau and Miss Westergom is in charge of the publicity for the Acme Drug Stores. 'The crystal ball now takes me to a Teachers' Convention. In the crowd I see Miss Margie Thomasson who is teaching English Grammar in a New England school' Mrs. Hazel Frye now competently managing the commercial department at Glastonbury High School- and Professor Graham Tyrol who is giving a lecture course at Yale on How to Talk Without Being Misinterpreted. Prof. Tyrol is explaining to Miss Thomasson the reason for Miss Marcia Holders absence. She is attending Miss Gladys Marstons wedding. 'I am now looking into the private room of Admiral Peter Nimitz Solar: who is in the process of reprimanding Francis Litwin for trying to change the 'Navy Way' to the 'Litwin Way'. Chief cook Douglas Post enters and hands the menu for the day to the Admiral for inspection. In the mystic haze a large and impressive building is taking shape. It is the Lysik Laundry' owned and operated to a large extent by Mi!! Helen 1-Ysik. Miss Lysik is now .1 ' I 'f' 0 r r 1 I were ' - . 4 . '. ' L' . 1 , 1 f - D21 T 9 2 is 1 , g'n f 4 1 j .
