PQ 9'-B CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL GLASS QJROPHECY N January 9.9, 1936, an airplane, painted a dull gray with a vivid orange propeller, orangeftipped wings, and orange upholstered seats, gaily wings its way over the vast American continent. Its much befgog led pilot is covering sheet after sheet of notepaper with lines of hardlyflegible, scrawled writing. The first sheet is headed What Has Become of My Quondam Classmates Ten Years after Graduation? Now the pilot is gazing intently through a long tube at a vast crowd of people below. She writes: 'Dode' Critchheld is jockey of 'Flee', raceftrack favorite and win' ner of the twenty thousand dollar purse. Attending the race are Ruthie West, accompanied by a burly sternfjawed pugilist, her fiance, Betty Jacoby who from her concentrated application to her notebook and pencil must be the farffamed sportfpage reporter of the Time and Space, and 'Shorty' Yeagley, the now famous leader of Newport's fashionable set, attired in a stunning sport suit of mauve organdyf' The plane makes a sudden swoop downwards and circles slowly around a domed building. The story continues: Marie Freedman is attending the Congress of Famous Linguists held in New York. Here also is the office of Blanche Isele, the busif ness manager of the revue Snaky Stuff in which Zoe Troxell is creating a great sensation by her introduction of the Russian ballet. On a steamer lying at anchor I notice Leah Sleigh, president of the Irish Free State, who has just completed diplomatic relations with the United States, 'Mil' Hause, sailing to teach art to the African aborf igines, 'Glen' Dill, chef of a chain of hotels from Carlisle to Harrisf burg, who is trying to discover a new continent, and- Here the machine does the loopfthefloop and in consequence the writing becomes more hieroglyphic-like- -The general of the American Army, Helen Macdonald. At this point another plane collides with the gray and orange and this dialogue ensues: Great Scott! Can't you keep to the right, you -why, 'Dot' Barnes, how are you? Oh! So it's you! I'm going to Florida to see if those lots I bought in '26 have appeared above water yet. Spd D99 FOURTEEN
