CLASS PROPHECY I never would have believed it ifit hadn't been right before my eyes in black and white, an invitation to Soap Box Colin's first trial. But, as I debated whether I should travel to the mountains or not, my mind was made up when I happened to realize that my fifth divorce case was coming up and Old Soapy might come in handy. As I reach the court house, the defense attorney meets me with open arms and informs me that my old pal, Ichabod Dutcher, is being tried for chewing bubble gum while baking pottery, incidentally this was the profession our bright-eyed friend studied for at Miami University. As I take my seat in the front row, in files the jury with Mrs. Leo Davis in the lead--we all knew her as Evelyn Roser, belle of the Class of '54, I guess Leo is home putting the car together, he still hasn't found second gear. Trudging right along behind Evie is Bubbles Switko, known as the Song bird of the Catskills. She even makes Ernie Lindell look sick. The remainder of the jury includes Butch Walkerwicz, who seems quite at home in a court room, since his last novel, The Jury is I was published, Another Juror is Art Jones, who achieved his success in discovering a new way to pick chickens with- out touching the feathers, Here too is Margo, who still argues sometimes with Earl, but argues with herself most of the time, Hearing the turbulent commotion coming from behind, I turn around just in time to see Evelyn DeWitt and Eleanor Hyzer swinging down the aisle. Upon speaking to them, I discover that they have achieved world-wide fame as operators of a unique kind of nursery, where the only inmates are 18 or over. I also learn from them that Dolly Ward is now living on Hoag's Hill and raising a lot of little Foagies, oops, I mean Hoagies. We learn that after Sharon Ward's graduation from Delhi, she made an extensive study on Fifty Ways to Use Stale Bread. It seems that our old Alma Mater's cafeteria budget had decreased, since O1d Stale Bread herself took over. Finally Mr. Welter arrives and the trial begins with the entrance of the prosecuting attorney, whom- we immediately recognize as Fearless Fosdick Newman. We now rise, as Judge Kannegiser, better known to us as Big Ace, enters with his usual blood -curdling smile. The court stenographer, a buxom, six -foot blonde enters--wait, she looks fairly familiar! Yes, it is Nancy Ardito! What a transformation! I guess it's that new cereal, We make them pop. Lou calls the court to order, and the first witness, Mr. Windy Mears, takes the stand. Windy is doing his best to defend Dutch, but he never was a good prevarlcator. George is a good example of the fact that you can be a good lawyer without being a good liar. After extensive examination the second witness takes the stand. All that our old friend Aggie can say is, Chuck always did like bubble gum. In case you haven't heard Aggie is now married and has three little clarinetters, After a trying day of court procedures, I am relieved to see the trial finally draw to a favorable close. As I turned to congratulate Son on the winning of her case, I bump into a reporter who is laden down with a camera and flash bulbs. Yes, Betty Ann Bergin, always was a pretty flashy kid. Among the unfortunates who can not attend are Lee Wells and LeRoy Hadden, It seems that Lee has been out of circulation for the past three weeks---a plug of tobacco became lodged in his throat! Roy got wound up in a cable on his latest construction job, and when last heard of, he was trying to get the cable off him and on fo the bridge, Yes, I guess it was worth my while traveling to the Catskills!
