Audrey MacKay came into the picture next, and she was telling Troy Shook and George Reitzel just exactly where to put the furniture they were carrying. She was holding some kind of plans- of course she is an interior decorator. Next I saw Dorothy I-Iolbrook, a beautician in Ivey's Beauty Salon. In the grocery store, Lillian Hewitt was buying groceries. Beside her stood her two little boys dressed in sailor suits. A bus whizzed by and who should be driving it? None other than Ira Daniel.

In the telephone office, I saw Jean Cline working at the switchboard, Next I saw Cecil Mae Thoincburg teaching clarinet lessons in New York. 1 do believe I saw Chief Cheerleader Louise Setzer at the University of North Carolina. Just before the device brolse I saw the former Miss Ramona Sue Hillard driving her husbztnd's car down the street. ' To my great sorrow, I was unable totiix the machine, but while it was working it gave me a little preview of what would be happening in the future. As I was unable to see my own future, I guess it will have to remain a secret. RITA GAMACHE, Prophetess. Page Twenty-three
