CLASS PROPHECY Charlie Arnold is telling Peggy Curran, the noted columnist, about his new invention, Futurevision, when Peggy gasps FuturevisionI What next! Well don't keep me in suspense. Let's have a look. All right, here you are, replies Charlie, turning on the instrument.. What do you see? Why there's Janet Zarges back at Katonah teaching the sixth grade and no . . . yes, it's Joyce Hall teaching history. And there's -Carmen Gerardi working on the stage. He must have a steady iob there now as stage carpenter. Look, isn't that the activity room? Why I'm sure that's Norma Ritch directing the Glee Club. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it? The scene is changing. We're in New York City. There's Broadway and Bill Fowler's name up in lights. He's starring in MacBeth under the direction of Opal Sneddon. There's Arthur Murray's. Do you see Una Wilson in there teaching? Listen! That sound is familiar. Why it's Jane Ferguson in front of her studio, Giggles Inc. The sign says I guarantee to teach you to laugh correctly. Here we are in Madison Square Garden. There's Tom Broderick ready to make a sensational hook shot. Do you see any familiar faces in the stands? Why there's Caroline Herz taking notes for her sports column. The scene has changed again. This is a broadcasting studio. Listen to John Green- fieldt rattling off that script. And there's Jackie Paillex writing the singing commercials for Schmell, the greatest name in family soaps. Isn't this Grand Central Station? There's Jean Koenig behind the information booth. She always wanted to travel. The Futurevision is moving rapidly and is now focused on North Africa. Look closely and you will see Herb Steidle hunting big game. On the way back from Africa we see an airplane with two more members of the Class of '49 in it. Lucile Laurent is an air hostess and Dolores Leal is taking dictation from an ambassador. I wonder where they are going. In a matter of seconds we're back in the United States. Dick Corlett is in Congress and iust listen to him filibustering. I wonder what he's talking about now. The Futurevision is once again in Katonah. I'm not too sure iust where we are but I can see Shirley Tripp and Barbara Elsesser. They've been raising hamsters since Shirley became a lab technician. We're on Main Street and there's Dick Jarvis' used car lot. Look, a new shingle has been put out. lt's Doc Shorter's. Just look at that billboard, will you? Auto Races this Saturday night featuring the one and only speed king Jack Wolfe. He ought to be good. Why here's a new men's shop run by Ralph Gay and Terry Chase. I wonder if that could be Bill Weist in charge of their finances. Why is the Futurevision heading toward the shoe store? Why, of course, to see Bobbie Lynn in the Women's department of Adler's Elevated. Oh, that cute dress shop. That must be Shirley Morgan's, and I'll bet she deseigned all those clothes herself. We're going to Phelps'! There's Mac Burtl After all his extensive training in the field he should be a pretty professional soda ierk by now. While we are in Phelps' we can seen Tommy Ganung, who is Katonah's bowling champion. Now we're at the old school lot and there's a show going on. I can't quite make out the name. Ohl it's the Dingling Brothers' Three Ring Circus run by Jim Donohue and Donnie Joyce. With a nostalgic sigh, Peggy says, That seems to take care of the Class of '49. You can turn it off now, Charlie. That's some invention! lt's the greatest thing since television and it will make good reading in my next week's column of the Katonah Record. 22
