PROPHECY ' Cloud No. 7734, Heaven May 31. 2051 Mr. Bob Goodman, Gatekeeper Hades Dear Bob: Do you remember this date 100 years ago today? That’s right, it was our gradu- ation day at Lancaster High. Around here I have been looking up some of our old classmates, and I can't account for all of them. Two of my spies, Sherry Herd and Fern Clendenen, reported having seen you watching the gate down there. Are you very crowded? I hear people have been dying to get in here. Every- one up here is quite busy. Would you like to hear about some of the things we are doing? Well, to begin with, every- thing is in on uproar. A very important person is coming next week—Gwen Har- gus, the inspector. The harp tuners, Dick Eslinger, Janet Conrad, and Don Callahan, have been quite busy getting a lot of harps in shape. Six of the harp players are practicing. They are Pauline Parrish, Faye Spaun, June Pfeiffer, Charla Pickering, Joan Friend, and Patty Burnside. Over on the halo cloud I can see everyone, and they all look busy making new halos and shining the old ones. The head man around here is Ernest Shaeffer. Some of his helpers are Patty Mast, Nida Matz, Jane Collins, and Charlie Fish- bough. On the next cloud I see floating by, there are a lot of robes. I can barely see Donna McCarten waving that big stick. She seems to be head girl around that deportment. Donna has Terry Jewell, John Hedges, Carl Clark, and many more washing robes. Then she has Carolyn Spires, Audrey Patrick, and Mary Ellen Schorr inspecting them to see if they ore clean. Next, I see she has Gary Hauke and Eugene Williamson starching them. Boy, you should see the long line of driers she has. There are Richard Shumaker, Tom Wildermuth, Bob Snider, James Sha- ner, Bob Walton, Thomas Miller, and Tom Larimer. After they are dried they are taken to the ironers, who are Larry and Jerry Cook, Pete Arent, Robert Bar- ber, and Jerry Blosser. Behind me I can see Norma Wright- sel with a huge feather in her hand. She seems to be telling Solly Wilson, Betty Kelton, Betty Hill, Patti Getz, and Mary Woods where to put this feather and that one. I hope she gets those new wings made before next week. Everywhere I look around here I can see my angels. Those practicing the latest flying dances are Joyce E. Clark, Jane Stoughton, Carolyn Kistler, Carolyn Walter, Marty Griffith, Bill Nichol, Gary Poge Twenty

PROPHECY Mayer, John Stoughton, Roger Kumler. and Kenneth Macintosh. They seem to be practicing the Charleston. As I move along I can hear the choir. It consists of Betty Weaver, Eileen Aldenderfer, Grace Arent, Marty Bang- ham, Donna Barnes, Don Starner, Wayne Wright, Paul Wiegand, and Harvey Stockwell. Neil Reed is the director. They are singing The Fire Will Burn Bright Tonight, written by Don Bowman. Last week we held an election. We had a large turnout. Some of the candi- dates were as follows: County Clerk— Paul Leohner, Register of Deeds—Ron- ald Smith, County Auditor—Jack Tracey, County Treasurer—Edwin Imler, and Sup- erintendent of Schools—Charles Reid. We also held elections for ambassadors. John Lohmann, who is head of the De- partment of State, has a lot of new men under him. Neil Simmons and his new secretary, Albert Underwood, left yester- day for their new jobs in Hades. Bob French also takes up his new job next week as Ambassador to Earth. His secretary, Dick Green, will also go with him. Seven clouds make a state. You understand that the clouds are very far apart. Sometimes it takes days to get from one cloud to another. You might get a ride on a bolt of lightning, which is controlled by Charlie Hiatt, or on the thunder roller driven by Harold Lescalleet or Karl Plank. We had a contest last week to see which girl had a Toni. Among those who entered were Joyce Pfeiffer, Mary Lou Kiger, Nettie Underwood, and Rosanne Major. After a big fuss, John Rauch and Karl Henwood were chosen as the Toni Twins. Oh, you should have seen what just flew past. One of my oldest angels, Mr. Payne. I suppose he is going back after more chalk. He has made only three trips in the last four hours. I hear he has used almost ten dollars' worth of chalk marking up his sins already. Sometimes I wonder how some people get up here. He must have a pull. Please write back and give me some news of the people you know who are down there and who graduated with us in the CLASS OF 1951. Until I hear from you, Pat Boystel, Head Angel Hole In The Ground, Hades June 28, 2051 Miss Pat Boystel, Head Angel Heaven Dear Pat: I was glad to hear from one of my old classmates. I have been looking up . . . some of our old classmates, too. Page Twenty-one
