Prophecy SCENE: Office of Pearson Jewelry Company. Earl Pearson president is seated at desk. His secretary, Aurela Bates, enters the room with a package of letters AURELA :- EARL:- There are letters here you have quite neglected, They really must all be inspected, Oh, yes, they're from my classmates dear, Letters and notes from far and near. You know I did a generous thing, For I sent to each a wonderful ring, 'Cause at school they showed a taste quite lacking In' choosing the rings without my backing, So I made a fine ring of delicate hue To prove to them what an expert could do. So now come the answers from all twenty-four, 'Tis as if the class were here at my door. Harris-writes he has found a career, Has gone in the world as an auctioneer. He can sell a broom stick for ninety cents, VVhen in fact it is worth only two penceg But that's not his line, he's reached something higher He sells the black diamond and aerial flyer. This one's from Virginia, who with her partner, Is getting the money as a landscape gardner. In costume petite, and frolicking gown She orders the gardeners up and around, Planning tea gardens, beds and springs. ' QNot for bedrooms, but parks and thingsj. William, or Bill more usually called, Has sent me a letter most beautifully scrawled. He, who was always our class magician, Has settled down as a good electrician. He shinnies the poles and mends the wires. His tools are tape, screw drivers and plyers. He's a rising young fellow with a pleasing face. And will certainly find a way to his place. Bessie and Carolyn are keeping frats For all the poor lost and orphanic cats. Black ones, white ones, pink and blue, Green ones, yellow ones colored like glue. So the two old maids on cold and bad weather Sit by the fire and chatter together. Here's one from Africa far away, Made the long journey in a month and a day. Who can it be from such a legible hand? Why, it's Ralph, a missionary to the dark land. Preaching and talking and helping little niggers 22

To do and to act better than their biggers. He's doing a splendid and pleasing work, Is pastor and preacher of a little Scotch kirk. Pernilla Nelson has written in a hurried way, She's very especially busy today. There's the washing and cleaning and the cooking of course But she's harnessed up electricity better than Mors Sewing machine, dishwasher, stove and bucket Make her the best house-wife in Nantucket. Everything's run by electricity, Still is the height of simplicity. She still prefers the old-fashioned broom, Along with her children and second bridegroom. Leslie and Dwight, the always inseparable, Have made an invention indeed quite terrible. They've gone together on this infernal affair In which the poor victim sits in a chair, Then Leslie, the patient does hypnotize, Next comes the nation's great surprise 3- Connected with wires to the chair is a mirror fThen Dwight moves over a little bit nearerj Behold! across the wired mirror, quite plain Pass the workings of a hypnotized brain. So you see it is really the best of inventions, And therefore is used at hypnotic conventions, The name of this thing's in no catechism: Mes-thot-hyp-mer-noterism. This next letter is from Miss Elinor, In which she says what she saidbefore. She is the girl who never had measles, And now is working among pallettes and easles. With pencils and powders oils and brushes She paints people's faces and also bull rushes. An artist in picturing dancers on toes, Perfect resemblances from feet to their nose. Romilda says I'd be afraid to face her 'When she's all dressed up as an auto racer. Her car is a make of her own invention, And the speed she makes she won't even mention She's got so many cups, prizes and medals She melts them together and puts on her pedals It makes it easier to turn the corners, p Prevents all skidding and saves many mourners. She's won more races than the rest put together Is happy and well in all sorts of weather. This is from Wilma, and to use slang, She is the Queen of the potato gang. Forty thousand bushels of big large spuds, And just when they vanished like bubbles and suds She's the richest person in the whole Texas state. Says she may be up this year, but a little late. Darwin's envelope is headed with the title 23
