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.

n “Amy Livingston and Harlan Achor were married and living on a fruit ranch in Arizona. “Gibson Meyers was pictured working over a set of false teeth ; some one was in the dentist’s chair. Over the air came a ring of the telephone, then: ‘Yes, Elizabeth. I’ll be home as soon as 1 can plant these teeth in my patient’s head. Tell Junior, Mary Lou, and Betty Jane to be good. “Faun Betzner was working in some office in the Court House. In the same court house I saw Quentin Nelson seated in the Judge’s chair in the Court.” “Oh, do tell me about John Hoaster.” “John had become a preacher. He was going from town to town preaching, but had never appeared in Hammond. “Elvira Gay was a great music teacher at Northwestern University. She had won fame in this profession. “Who else is there in the class I haven’t mentioned?” “You haven’t told me anything about Richard Cavnagey,” Evelyn said. “Oh, Richard was married to a beautiful Senoiila whom he met in Spain on his trip around the world in 1936. They were living in the Hawaiin Islands; they were both instructors in a college there.” “And James Brennan?” “Oh, he was a great movie idol. His most popular play was ‘Turn to the Right.’ “Henry Kortenhoven was married and lived in a mansion at Grosse Point, near Detroit. He was a millionaire and did not have to work.” “Tell me about Goldie Bostian?” “Goldie is living in Sacramento, California, with her husband, Raymon Novarro. The last time I saw her she was riding south in her small pink Chrysler on Novarro Boulevard.” “Did you see anything about us?” Evelyn inquired. “That will be broadcasted in the next flight of the aeroplane. We shall at that time read this prophecy and see how much the stars, clouds and heavens really know.” Goldie Bostian.
