o CLASS PROPHECY Years have passed since that eventful graduation day, and as I sat in my lonely room reviewing these happy days, a longing to know what had been the fortune of my former classmates crept over me. The desire became so strong that I determined to consult a sorceress whom I knew to have unusual powers. As I rapped cautiously at the door, my heart pounded gladly for I felt certain my visit would be successful. The room to which I was guided was very dark. I wondered as I sat there how long the sorceress would keep me waiting, but-I was startled! What was that in the corner? Now it movedg ah yes, it was a woman. As she advanced toward me I noticed that she was very tall and powerfully built. There was a mystic charm about her that inspired in one a feeling of awe and fear. Your purpose? She said pointedly, in a deep contralto voice that roused me from my reflection. When I had stated my mission, she moved to a farther corner of the room and produced a large crystal and placed it on the table a little distance from me. Now, she said, if you will close your eyes and remain silent, I will read to you the crystal's revelations. It seemed hours before she began, and then her voice sounded hollow and far away. I see, she said, a group of bright energetic young people entering life's road. Some are going one directiong others in anotherg still others are hesitating while they watch with wonder the course of their fellows. Ah, the picture fades and the figures are no longer discernible. There was a few minutes silence, then her voice roamed on. Again the picture comes into view. There are a great many people moving about while adding machines are clicking busily. Across the door is printed in large black letters, MALCOLM KANTNER, Chief Accountant, Kruse Bolt and Nut Company. Malcolm's greatest ambition has come true. Across the hall the owner, LESTER KRUSE and a Constructionist, KENNETH ELSHOFF, are talking over a design for a new plant. Lester has built the company from a small plant in one building to a plant that covers three blocks. Kenneth is the manager of the largest construction companies in the United States. His firm built the Etnperess building, consisting of 210 floors, in New York City. Lester's private secretary, KATHRYN COOK, waits patiently for directions. Kathryn is chief secretary over fifty other girls. She handles all of Lester's private business. Suddenly the door is thrown open and MERLIN STOLZENBURG enters. He has come to see Kenneth about a new hotel which he wants to build on the West Coast. Merlin owns a chain of hotels which are located in New York, London and Paris. Here the picture grows dim and another scene comes into view. This scene is a Premiere showing of a new picture, The Great Lovers. The star actor and actress are LARRY KATTMAN and BETTY KIEFER. Larry is the current glamour boy of the silver screen while Betty is the favorite pin up girl of show business. On hand to see the premiere is EILEEN HABER- KAMP with her husband. Eileen has won the title of Mrs. America and the best housewife of the year. With Eileen is another friend, LOIS SCHROEDER. Lois has just returned from Europe where she serv- ed as a captain in the Army Nurse Corps. Here the sorceress explained that again the picture had faded, after a few minutes she resumed her revelations. I see, she said, the University of California. Here FOREST SAWMILLER is the star halfback for the football team. The team has just played a tough game, but they have won. Frog, as he was called in his high school days, made two touchdowns. Also here is JOHN SCHNEIDER, who has added the title of Professor to his name. John is a professor of Psychology, a genius with I. Q. tests. My picture now changes to Ohio State University. Here VERNON CLAUSING is instructor of Vocational Agriculture. Vernon has developed a new kind of corn which he guarantees will produce 250 bushels to the acre. Next I see NED HOGE, who is an atomic chemical expert. Ned and his secretarial assistant, JOYCE NIEMEYER, are working on atomic energy which will replace gasoline. It will also heat houses for two months without refueling. The picture of Toledo Hospital now comes into my view. Here LOIS ANN MONTGOMERY is superintendent of nurses. Lois is also president of the visiting nurse's association. Now I see a large dairy farm. It is the most beautiful place in the country side. This farm belongs to ROGENE LEHMAN. Rogene's farm is the largest of its kind in the country. And now still another place comes into my view, the sorceress said, this is Mademoiselle Carol's Millinery Shoppe. The owner of this exclusive shoppe is CAROL KUCK. Another friend, GRACE EVERSMAN, who is a Powers Model, models Mademoiselle's gowns at the fashion reviews. Both Carol and Grace have been very suc- cessful in their occupations. Also in New York is ROBERT SETTLAGE. He is the minister at the famed Little Church Around the Corner. And now, said the sorceress, the crystal remains blank, which means that there is no more to tell. I left that dark and gloomy room much satisfied with my visit, though I did not recover for many days, from the surprise of these revelations. ' Page Twenty-two
