PROPHECY Would you like to take a trip into the future with me? If so, hurry, because the time ship will soon be leaving for a trip into the dark, now unknown future. Fasten your safe- ty belts, steady now, and--off--we--go! I can't see anything but blackness now, can you? Maybe it won't be too long now before we can see into the future through this little machine here on my right. See, objects are beginning to appear on that screen right now. Why, if it isn't -- no, it can't be, but it is Yvonne McFarland. Who would have ever thought she would be- come pianist at the Stork Club? The scene is changing now and it looks to me like a newspaper office. Isn't that Bernadine Poole? Well, so it is. She finally has a newspaper all her own. Oh! oh! we're at Carolina Beach now, and from where is that delicious smell coming? Where did you say? Oh! from Thomas Tippett's sea-food restaurant. I never knew he could cook. It seems as if we are looking in on a Hollywood movie eet now, and isn't that Carl Riley dressed up like Robin Hood? I always thought Carl had hidden talents. Uh! oh! we're in the Army now! Wonder who we know here at this camp? There's Marshall Ellis. I'm glad he fi- nally got to be a soldier because he was so anxious. His rank? Mess Sgt! My, what a large cattle ranch! Wonder who the owner is? I see now, it is Robert Wynne. There's plenty of steak in their freezer locker, I bet! Here's a natural looking scene. Barbara Gilchrist with another ring on her finger having quite a bad time getting that ten-room house cleaned for week-end guests. Isn't that a pretty little church? And isn't that Lew- is Jeffries preaching? Whoever would have thought he'd be- come a Methodist minister?

There goes Stacey Flintom in his newest Cadillac. His new-and-used car lot has feally paid off! Melinda Gaydou, it seems, has married her former boss. Guess who's boss now? Well, here come the Powers' Models! And isn't that Ha- zel Roberts? It seems as if beauty is Haze1's business now. My what a gang of children! Emmy Lou Vaughan seems to be very popular with her students at her nursery school. Isn't that Dan Terry running from that crowd of girls? Since he has become such a fine vocalist and crooner, he's having a hard time controlling his admirers. There's Marie Jacobs who planned to be a nurse. Oh, well, she got as We are back senior, but this dance routine. dance? far as nursemaid, which is really better. in the Stork Club now where we saw another time we see Lobera Duke going through a tap Did you ever realize how that girl could Patricia Paschall is writing another book. She has al- ready written four successful novels. H. L. Chambers looks very happy surrounded by models of his latest invention --dancing dolls. What will he do next? Who did you say? Freddy Williams?
