CLASS PROPHECY One night I had a beautiful dream. I dreamed of the future of the graduating class of 1940. It seemed as if Samuel Sterchi owned several large theaters and he was presenting a special matinee for the anniversary of his class of '40. After the matinee We had a reunion for the sake of old times. Since I was the reporter for the society column in a well-known newspaper, it was my duty to get around and learn from each and every one what he or she was doing. I learned that Revella Anderson was working for a large hospital establishment in Kansas City, Missouri. You can imagine my surprise when Erma Emory told me that she and Lester Brenton had settled down and were managing their home beautifully. Morris Bandy informed me that he was no longer playing the saxaphone in Richard Fell's Hoosier Hotshot Band but was teaching plane geometry in Herbert 0ldham's School of Higher Learning. Of course I already knew that Mary K. Bartos had been a missionary in the wilds of Aus- tralia, but she told me that she had settled down now and was completing her hope chest which she started in 1940. During our conversation I asked her what Carolyn Burke and Rosemary Ellis were doing. She told me that Carolyn was the chief cook and bottle washer on Robert Loudermilk's ranch way out in Montana and that Robert Huggins was the foreman. Rosemary Ellis was in Hollywood negotiating a movie contract with M. G. M. I also learned that Donald Cromwell was managing a very prosperous farm for the government on the Sahara Desert. It was at this reunion that Harlan Rockwood announced to us his intentions of running on the Democrat ticket for the president of the United States. As James Peters was a news commentator on the radio, he had to leave the reunion early but not without telling us that Glenn Felling's salary had increased and he was the best paid movfs: actor in Hollywood. I gathered from a conversation with Martha Roberts, who runs a restaurant for taxi cab drivers in Indianapolis in order that she might meet up with the cab driver some day, that Dorothy Ross and Alyce Carter had gone into the interior decorating business. I overheard a group of the boys teasing Raleigh Sowers about his being a jockey in the Kentucky Derby. After talking with these boys awhile, they told me that Floyd Maxwell owned a Wholesale House south of the border down Mexico way. By the way Anna Dicks is working as clerk in Maxwellls Wholesale House. Betty Peters told me that she was secretary in Albert Wright's real estate office and Her- man Shaffer had come to the office that morning to see about purchasing a house for himself and his blond-haired, blue-eyed wife. Florence Houlston informed me that she was enjoying her work as home economic teacher at Glenn High School and that her friend, Florence Mc- Cann, was modeling for the Coca Cola Bottling Company in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Mabel Wood was teaching Latin at Glenn High since Mr. Coltharp was teaching at Indiana State Teachers College in Terre Haute. I immediately asked her what Miss Felling, who was sponsor of our senior class along with Mr. Coltharp, was doing. She told me that Miss Felling was matron of the girls at Glenn Home. Inquiring further I learned that Warren Hall was professor of physics at Notre Dame. I noticed billboards pasted around. One in particular caught my eye. It was one concern- ing James Higham's barber shop with Gertrude Maynard as manicurist. I noticed one also which stated that Rose Marie Karbinos, the world's famous opera singer, had returned from a successful music tour in Europe and was now engaged at the Metropolitan House in New York. I wondered if she had come to the reunion. After a time I came upon her surrounded by a group of admirers. When I did get a chance to talk with her, I asked the where-abouts of Betty Orendorff and Doris Schwartz. She told me that Betty Orendorff was a dressdesigner in New York and that she had designed the gown which she herself now had on. She also said that Doris Schwartz was a school teacher in New England. I had often heard Freida Lowe singing with her famous orchestra over the radio, but I had never had a chance to talk to her personally since graduation. In the course of my con- versation with her, I learned that Margie Foxworthy had been severely wounded by Cupid's arrow and was in Miami, Florida, honeymooning. As I looked down the list of names of my classmates, I came upon the names of two girls who were very good chums during their high school days. Inquiring for them I found them,
