23 PROPHECY H, EVELYN,” cried Edna Herbst, bursting into her friend’s room. “You know I took that aeroplane ride and it was just marvelous. I shall not deny I was a little frightened at first and wondered if I should ever see my friends and Senior classmates again. Things became so interesting, however, that I soon got over that scare.” “Tell me everything, how you felt, what you saw, well — just everything,” she said. “Well, the first thing I did was to ask the pilot all about the things inside the plane. He showed me a tel-u-scope and an unusual Ramble Radio. And the remarkable thing about these appliances was that they were controlled by one dial; and by turning this to the “1937” I actually saw and heard things that will be taking place 10 years from now. Of course, the thing I wanted to know most was what the Seniors of ’27 will be doing then, and believe me, I found out. All I had to do was to think of a person and there he was before my eyes ! “First, I saw Edith Vermette. She is to be the greatest decorator in the United States. Her work shown in the picture was beautiful. “Next was Opie Nimon. He was marri ed to Linda Hopp and living in Hessville. They had a large department store which covered three blocks.” “Oh, how interesting,” said Evelyn. “What did you see about Russell McArty ?” “The most surprising thing! He owned a large Beauty Shoppe in Paris, and it took most of his employees’ time marcelling his hair and mani- curing his finger nails. “I saw pictures of Mary Grove and Etta Davis on a large sign-board outside a church in New York. Over the radio came an announcement something like this — ‘The Misses Etta Davis and Mary Grove — mission- aries in Timbuktu arrived today for a three months’ leave of absence. While here they will raise money to establish a Girls’ College in Timbuktu.’ “Harry Hamby and Eugene Leu were erecting a new Technical -Voca- tional High School Building, much larger and more artistic than the one we occupy at present. “Think of this. I saw Seigfried Heintz, the world’s greatest violinist. It was announced over the ’37 Ramble Radio that he was playing for Queen Marie of Itoumania.” “Tell me about Vera Knitter.” “Well, Vera is to be the greatest movie actress in the United States. Her pictures were being shown all over the world.” “And Pauline Worley — ” “To be sure I musn’t forget her. She was no less than the Hessville City Superintendent of Schools. A very good one, too.
