PROPHECY 12:04 Saw a suspicious-looking character. Followed it into a dive. Just happened to be my favorite dairy bar, Johns', run by Hoiman. The bartender. Sue Miller, said to look in the back room. I did. Found Lefty Polk, Chewing Gum Kid Stecker, Carla Crater Hall, Judy Opphile Fairchild, and Judy Deanft Moore in a hot game of Old Maid. They said they hadn't seen anybody come in, however, they said that the mysterious stranger had been carrying a trombone case. I heard a weird noise. Didn't know whether it was human or not. Looked and saw Joy Triplett, Nancy Rogers, Diana Ross, and Sharon Porcher quarteting, the famous, Boone Ballad. Triplett said with a raised eyebrow, Saw Dan Loader shagging down through here a minute ago, Dick Patton creeping after. Drooling Welsch said, I saw a trombone case with brown hair go thataway. Went thataway. Stumbled over the richest begger in town, John D. Watson, with his accomplice, Glenn VanVoorhis. They said that they had seen a trombone case with brown hair go into the Y.M.C.A. There standing in the middle of the floor was Pat Walters and her magic trombone. Asked what was in her trombone case. She asked why I wanted to know. I said, Just wanta get the facts, mam. I looked in the case. Just what I had suspected all along - melted ice cream. Booked her for smuggling melted ice cream. 12:05 Got a tip from Ears Johnson, a reliable stool pigeon, that he had traced Fred Nay, an F.B.I.man for the Communists, and last year's top undercover man in the Country, to a waterfront dive run by Bouncer Mason. Took a run down there. My eyes roamed to the torch singer, Slinky Bord-enkircher. She was some doll. We had a rough battle with Nay's bodyguards, Betty Wolff, Maxine Watson, Linda Stocker, and Florene Shearer, but finally hooked 'em and took 'em on a 319. Through a tip from Nay, we got a lead on Rebecca Flash Kelly, ringleader of the notorious Space Patrol, who had been suspected of trying to smuggle laughs in Home Economics Class for some time. Her co-pilot, Ten-Star-General Jean The-Last-Name-Cant’-Be-Spelled-Read-Or-Pronounced was a shady-iooking character too. I took them in on 407. 12:06 Got a call from Rush Town. Fat Man Peoples and his band were disturbing the peace. Some of the band members were: Phyllis Courtwright-tuba; Sandra Sumers - bass drum; Larry Lewis - piccolo; Jim Tedrick - chimes; George Farris-guitar; Judy Loader - violin; and Judy Stewart - triangle. Pug Mayhew and John Mallet insisted on giving us a sample of their famed hoochy-koochy dance, Double Trouble, before we booked ’em on a 407 and the Red Jeep came, with Virginia Heston at the wheel. 12:07 We returned to headquarters-time sure seemed to have passed quickly-we began putting 419, 304, 303, 206, 319, and 407 together-they all added up to just one thing - the class of 1958! How did we get the answer? We just played a hunch- Dum-da-dum-dum Pat Walters Carol Ann Rush Don Mulvane Jim Penrod Witnesses for the Class of 1958 of Newcomerstown High School 25

PROPHECY Case No. 101-102-105 Subject—Class of ’58 The prophecy you are about to read is false. Only the handwriting has been changed to protect the author. It was Tuesday. I was working die noon watch of Eastern State. My partner's name is Sam. My name is Monday (lost weekend, you understand!) 12:01 I got a call on the 419, Don Mulvane had been caught impersonating Jerry Lewis. Jim Penrod was in on the deal, thinks he's Dean Martin. Brought 'em to headquarters for questioning. After a grueling 5 minutes they began singing. It was a sad tale--Becky Leonhard, Barbara Poorman, Sandy Hicken-bottom, and Martha Murphy had been pulling hair over who was to be Marilyn Monroe’s successor. I booked them on the 304 and turned them over to the chief, Simple Davis, known for his ability to dig, dig, dig. 12:02 The chief sent me and Sam over to the world-famous Egler Bakeries, caterers to all the elite and Jean Pappas. Someone had been stealing Brownies. We nabbed the thief, Patty Marstrell. Her getaway car was driven by the notorious Blaine Tish, and his gunmoll, Dolly Buss, was perched in the rumble seat, swigging a fifth of Three Snoots Distilled Sparkling Water. Got a call on the 3-way ankle television from chief. The facts, just the facts, pointed to Gary Paulum. We booked ’em on the 303 and started to grab a gooey sandwich and a muddy cup of coffee at The Greasy Spoon when a 4-alarm call from our spy and all-round stoolie, Gene Parks, sent us over to P.U. (Podunk University.) 12:03 Melva Marquand, world-renowned Olympic star, famed in the walking race and discus throw, had been caught trying to stage a tee-shirt raid on the Uga Uga Uga fraternity house. Her accomplices were Patsy Ahle, Cora Arth, Betsy Stout, Beverley Bowers, and Gretchen Ellis. The president of the college, George Fenton, gave us a list of the victims. He stated that these HUGE girls were picking on the smallest boys in the fraternity - Married Man Marlatt, Cuz Rothenstein, Bunk Dulaney, Dumb-Head Burky, and Flirt Price. When suddenly a chick began moving my way - kept mumbling something about I must keep in step. I must keep in step. . . Heard someone mention her name - Sandy Peoples - and her occupation - trying to keep up with Shortie Craigo. 24
