SEIXIIGR CLASS PRGPHECY The year 1950 found me, Ioyce Nicholas, busily packing my exclusive wardrobe fstyled by my own shop-Nikki's, New Yorkl, preparing for my ocean cruise around the world. That awful World War of 1938-1944 was just a dark terrible thing of the past, and life in a new world was before us. My packing was interrupted by the ring of the telephone. lt proved to be Colleen Coffey, successful editor of the New York Times, calling to find out what was new. l quickly told her of my plans to .travel around the world, and she replied that she would tell her publicity editor, Esther Wainman, to headline it on the front page. She gave me a bit of news, too, from Iackie's Iuicy Gossip Column, writ- ten by I. Kaplan. lt seemed that Lorraine Shippman, after obtaining a divorce from her fifth husband, was engaged to her old schoolmate, Iohnny Cassidy. Thanking each other heartily, we hung up. Our call had been put through by Clarice Walker, now chief operator of the Bell Telephone Company. l-fer predecessor she informed me, was Virginia Force. Thrilled at finding the whereabouts of some of my old schoolmates of 1944, l called lean McCullough, the Helen Hayes of this day, and Freda Iolly, woman governor of New York State, who were going with me on my trip. lean informed me that the two Betty lean Houstons had finally gotten together as barmaids in the l-lotel Holt fowned by Clarence himselfl, where Iean was staying at the time. Freda told me that she had just appointed Rubye Graham as her chief adviser. They both explained that they would hurry over to my hotel, as the plane to Florida, where we caught the Pan-American Clipper for South America, our first stop, left in an hour. Once together, we piled into a cab and headed for the airport. We were surprised to find that our cab- driver was none other than Morris Maxey. Turning on the radio, we heard the news, broadcast by that brilliant commentator of the day, Harold Webber. A special bulletin was issued to the effect that Helen f'5 ff? ly all If 'fb Gipson, leading debutante, was seen at Dreamland Gardens, dancing with that notorious gentleman gang- ster, Iohn fSpeedJ Ioyce. Tiring of the news, we tuned in to the Quiz Kids program, mceed by that walking encyclopedia, Mary Emma Kelly. Also on the program was Lawrence Roberts, Ir., smart protege, and we recognized him to be the son of our old school chum. Switching the dials, we heard a familiar voice beat- ing out the jive with Dorothy Crawfords All-Girl Orchestra. We discovered the voice to be that of Leah McGee. Soon bored with music, we found a soap- opera, and recognized the voices of Mary Kolivas and Mike Strauss, acting in lohn's Fifth Wife, or Shoot Me Quick. Finally Morris the stewardess us that we we arrived at the airport, and tipping usual nickel, we were greeted by the on the plane, Maxine Scott. She assured would have a safe trip, as the pilot was lack Williams, who, incidentally owned the airlines. Arriving in Florida after a safe trip, we immedi- ately headed for the Pan-American Airlines, where the clipper was waiting for us. We were presented with a huge box of candy from the President of the United States, Ioe Fitzgerald, by his personal secretary, Gloria Saller fwho always made A+ in shorthandl. We noticed that the box was from Bailey and Stover's and we realized that that organization was headed by Ioyce Bailey, who fixed our box of candy especially for us. Our first stop was Mexico, and we quickly plan- ned an exciting stay there. The first day we took in the bull-fights and were amazed to find that the fear- less, dashing figure in the ring with the bull was Thomas McKenzie. From there we took in a fiesta, and found Myrtle Levitch selling fancy Mexican souvenirs, while Rosalie Bozof entertained us by swinging the the Mexican hat dance. Reclining lazily in his dia- mond-studded, gold easy chair was Stanley Pike, hav- ing made a fortune on the nylon hose business in Mexico during World War ll. In one of the most famous restaurants, we asked for one of its well-known hot Mexican dishes. We were immediately presented with Mexico's favorite Page Twenty-Seven,
