Class Prophecy It is the year 1968. A little girl is alone in her room in the big rnansion at the top of the hill on Shumaker street in the city of Morley. We see what the little girl is doing. She is dialing a queer looking machine. We see that the label reads Findleys' Time Machine. As the girl turns the dial a panel in the wall slides open and a huge screen is revealed. In huge bright letters we see some words flash across the screen. It says, Why, Yes, it reads, Class of 1953, Morley, Iowa. We can hardly believe our eyes as we gaze in wonder for acrggs the scre- en flashes a picture of the stage in the gymnasium at Morley as it was the night of graduation the year 1953. Look at the graduates. They look a little relieved as Mr. Greenawald presents them to the school board and they receive their di- plomas. They probably are relieved to know that it is really true but too we note a bit of sadness. Perhaps they are thinking of all the fun they had together in their school days, and. kind of regret leaving them. Now the screen changes and we see just the name of Laurene Conner on the scre- en. We see what looks like an airplane. Looking closer we agree that it is a new type plane. Across the side we see the words, International-Super -Duper - Enginless-Properless-Tailless-and Stewardless plane model No. 35462468 by none other thanlvan Jayne. Well, that sounds like Ivan, alright. Ivan never be- lieved in explaining anything with just a few words. But wait, where is Laurene? Oh, there she is inside the plane. She is wearing the uniform of a stewardess. She slways said this is what she would like to do. It looks like she is really get- ting good. She races up and down the aisle balancing a tray on one hand. The, screen flashes and why it must be a few years later, for there is Laurene bal- ancing the same tray in one hand. But on the tray is a bottle of milk. I mean three bottles of milk and there in the crib are three charming little daughters. They start to cry and the frustrated Laurene falls to a chair in desperation. We wonder if she is dreaming of the days when she was still a stewardess. Next we see the name of Wayne Vernon. We first see him sitting in an English class in college. He is sitting there giving his full attention to the teacher. . Oh, that doesn't surprise me. He was always the perfect student in English class at Marley High, Wasn't he, Mrs. Russell? Now we see him in later life. He is walking up the steps of the Capitol building in Washingotn. He speaks to the-peo- ple as he passes by and we discover that he has a southern accent. We also hear the people address hirn as SENATOR Vernon. We wonder what state in the gold old United States he represents when suddenly Wayne turn and says in a deep voice, Ah'm from TEXAS . Next the name of I-larlene Tallrnan flashes on the screen. A picture of a large building in Des Moines flashes on the screen. On one of the doors inside the building we see in Gold Letters a sign reading Harlem Tal1.man. Under this is still another sign reading, I track down robbers, theives and murders, with just one restriction, there must be no danger involved. We hear sounds of music corning from the room. We know that must be Harlene. 19
