CLASS PROPHECY I dreamed last night that I received a telegram. Th e first that I had ever received--what a thrill--My heart skips a beat as I read it. Come to New York at once--I ' ll have to take an airplane to make it. I put on my coat--hurry to the airport at Shipman--ask for Mr. Ro¬ bert Spencer—Yes a new pilot--IIe greets me with Babe, going my way? Sure, I say, New York . He takes off--3haron Rowan--New hostess gives me a True Story to read and prances back and forth about 10 times for me to admire her beautiful figure--3ure she’s gained fifty pounds. We land at a little town and a boy comes out of a building shoot¬ ing up in the air—Nelson Saunders--New detective. I walk down the street, glance in a window and see William Mawyer with a cute Steno¬ grapher sitting calmly on his knee--It’s Elizabeth Thacker. Russell Bryant is standing in the middle of the floor--beating on the desk try¬ ing to sell vanilla extracts to William who doesn’t even know he is in the re. Off again--New passengers—Mac Coleman is going to New York to write her new story for the Farm Journal’s Magazine--Preston Spencer, Emma Lee Wood, are going to Hollywood to make their new picture--called Per¬ fect Shape. F. D. Wood going to New York to box Joe Louis. Virgie Craig and Freddie Hamilton, going to Boston to dance in the Ziegfield Follies show--Elgin Clarkson, prominent lawyer, going to win a case for Mrs. Vanderbilt--M q rgaret Ragland going to Portland Maine to teach school--Beatrice Banton, going to Washington to organize a new Garden Club—Carolyn Purvis and Elizabeth Mawyer going to Baltimore to start in their nursing course. They have just been dismissed from the Uni¬ versity for putting the wrong arm back on the wrong man. Landing again--See Trio Salvation Army nurses. Why! they’re Jane, Elizabeth, and Eula Harris--I see Hunter Hughes’ name on a big sign on a big theater—He’s making a speech for the farmers. On the street I meet George Micklem, our New Senator--See Beatrice Coleman’s and Dorothy Fields’ name on a huge sign—Seems like they are successful mo¬ dels . Off again with some new passengers--Hazel Bailey going to Philadel¬ phia to play the piano in a Symphonie Orchestra--Lucille Farrar and Louise Jennings going to Baltimore to start as new Stenographers. Mary Mae Ponton, going to pose as a Tiger Woman in Broadway’s new stage show—Jessie Stewart and Gladys Metts going on their honeymoon- married brothers--William Dawson going to Washington to file suit on Lynn Thomposn who is trying to take his filling station away from him at Shipman—Millard and Julian Stevens own a department store at Wash¬ ington. Joyce Spencer going to Reno to file for her sixth divorce— Beatrice Smith and Evelyn Tinnell are successful interior decorators. Minrie Kidd, a successful commercial teacher. Eleanor Bradley and Jeanette Wilson are very important seamstresses, who have on quite be¬ coming models of the fur coats. There are about six men following them--every girl buys those coats. We land--get a new pilot who is Watson Thacker--he frightens us somewhat, and our new hostess is Helen Bradley. A new passenger too followed by photographers--Caroline Moon--who is going to New York--- prominent blues singer. Tom Habel, Joe Londeree, Fred Willoughby are all soldiers, who run away some Japanese airplanes, before we reach our destination. The sad part about those Japanese planes, we thought we saw our dear old teacher. Miss Roberts sitting between two Yellow Japs—Could she have taken that fatal step of being a spy??? We also read in the headlines of the paper on the plane that a very prominent teacher, Mr. DeLong had blown up the school house of dear old Lovingston experimenting on something that wasn ' t the something that he thought it was. It seemed like I heard more planes and screams and our pilot became so frightened he fainted. That’s when I awoke from my dream. Myt what a dream. 17
