CLASS PROPHECY IME: the year 1948. Characters: T wo graduates of Marple-Newtown, Class ol 1938. I he scene is laid on a cold January evening when there is nothing so good as a warm chair by a cozy fireside. The first graduate sits meditating and gazing abstractedly into the blue flames. Enter second graduate: The two sit and exchange news of their old classmates. The following are choice bits Irom their conversation: Mrs. Peoples’ twins, Peggy and Charles, Jr., are taking dancing lessons at Anna Gustavs’ studio. Esther Mills has been signed up at the M. G. M. Studio on a long term contract, and being up to her old tricks, has her eye on the boss, Bill Clements. Frances Hartin, the red-hot blues singer, has taken Broadway by storm. The little boy who dazzled the others in chemistry class, and is known in the chemistry world as Dr. Pressey, has just invented that new “Come hither soap.” Spending the winter in Miami is our Secretary of the Treasury, Jesse Trost. Miss Mary Long has just received the Academy Award for this year’s best hair style in Hollywood. That “Advice to the Lovelorn’’ column, which has become so popular lately, has been found to be written by Margaret Wiggins. Pep Taylor, our old heart-breaker, has left all the girls and has gone to fight forest fires. Dorothy Matlack is seriously thinking of becoming more than a secretary to Senator Reed. The papers have announced that Joan Douglas has been appointed Superin- tendent of Nurses in a New York hospital; and on the society page, that Miss Dorothy Kondas is entertaining the young debutante, Edith Savidge, at her home on Park Avenue. Turning to the sports page we find that Ralph Talbot has just returned in time to begin spring training with the A’s. Harold Niemeyer is offering his services through the “Want Ad Sections’’ of the Daily Blab. Lyle Hill is advertising for a trailer to take him from coast to coast. Mme. Neal has opened a select dress shop at Fourth and South Streets Elmer Hancock is on the debating team at Grumpy College. After years of hard work Jesse Wilds has been appointed Manager of the A and P Store at Newtown Square. George Parker has taken over the Fuz Candy Company. We hear that Marie Dilworth has been hired by the Class of ’48 to sell tickets for their Chicken Supper. Sad to say, but nevertheless true, Claire Brogan was removed to an asylum where Norma Griffin, our screen comic, can no longer harm her with those imitations. 26
