CLASS PROPHECY, 1939 Time: 1951 Characters: Two Sleepy People It is a cold, weird night in November. The wind howls; shutters bang. Clara: What a nightl We haven’t seen a storm like this since the hurricane of '33 Marie: Remember how trees and homes were destroyed and the shore line damaged? V e were Seniors at the Newington High that September—the only pupils in the state I guess that didn’t get a day off. Clara: I wonder what has become of our graduating class since that time. Marie: I don’t know, but I’m too sleepy to care now. I’m going to bed. Clara: I’m .lust about asleep myself. Good night. V e are standing on the corner in the pouring rain waiting for a cab, when on approaches, chauffeured by Alice Wheeler, looking very chic in her blue and gold uniform. We gladly hop in. In our conversation Alice suggests a visit to The Daily Gab where Beulah Dione has recently been appointed editor-in-chief. Walking through the building, Marie luckily spots an office with letters on the door: RAY KING, CARTOONIST. Eager to talk to our old school chum, we walk In. To our surprise, the secretary who greets us is Blanche Faulds. Delighted to see us, Ray suggests that he show us the building. In the advertising department, Seagren is setting up type for a large advertisement of Rocco’s First National Barber Shop. Henry shows us two more layouts announcing the gala open- ing of Spitko and Watt Dancing School, and the success of the famous Meadors and Stoddard Boulevard Restaurant. On another type, there is a clever advertisement of the new cozy home designed by Robert Teich for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goodale. Ray reads us a slogan: There’s no one with endurance, like the mem who sells insurance. Of course, we know it must be Seldon Griffon. In the First Aid department, it is surprising to find Hilda and Helen, the women in white, working side by side as nurses. After we have discussed old times for about ten munutes, Ray ushers us In to the fashion department. Here, Asma Davis and Jennie Smolak are designing styles for the next edition. Still busy at the typewriter, Ida Marie Hulburt is answering fan letters. • Next, Ray takes us to the printing room where we discover Bobbie Winter in charge of the printing press. As Clara picks up one of the capers, fresh off the press, she is startled by the headlines which read: TEST OF EINAR JOHNSON’S FLASH AIRPLANE PROVES SUCCESS. On the trip to Timbuctoo, he carried fifty passengers, among whom was Robert Crane, our new foreign ambassador to France. Bobbie suggests that the article concerning the explosion in the laboratory of the Cillimquik Hospital would be interesting to read. It seems that Richard French, laboratory technician, had been experimenting in the room when the explosion occured; however, no serious damage resulted. Glancing at tho movie section, we notice La Belle Hanson and Romeo Apter starring in V e Knew Them When at tho Mac Mac Humor Theater. Further down is a special engagement featuring Thelma Bray in one of her roller-skating acts, and Maestro Marcotte with his Swinging Hillbillies. On the following page. Bobble points out tho column, Have You Heard? by Marion Bassett and Leona Grue, which mentions that Ruth Holt has been seen in various places with multimillionaire Bowman Banford; the marriage ceremony of Miss Britta Johnson and Mr. Ralph Harper was recently performed by Harold Russell, Justice of the Peace; Milly Wheeler has won the nation-wide smile contest sponsored by Dr. J. P. Emerick’s Tooth Paste, Incorporated. The sport’s column shows that Edward Bedus and Walter Polonsky are competing in a National Golf Tournament and that Nate Marshall was crowned world’s feather weight champion in a boxing match held last night in The Left-To-The-Jaw Garden.
