PROPHECY Evelyn Stone, because of her quiet and reserved manner, was selected to chaperone the group. Betty asked us if we’d like to go to “MacCannell’s Spaghetti House” for lunch with her. As we drove by a large estate, Betty explained to us that it was ow ned by George and Marion (Bamford) Schofield. George relaxes at home while royalties come pouring in from the “Cole Milk Corp.” for their quintuplet sons. George is thrilled to have a personal basketball team. While relishing Jimmy’s delicious meat balls, Betty informed us of the suc¬ cessful modeling agency run by Peg Greenfield and Eleanor Green. Marjorie Midgley is now editor of a pocket size edition of “Life” called “Midget Magazine.” Dick Brow n is known as the friendly undertaker. Betty suggested we rent a car from the Freeman Automobile Corporation of Johnsonia and visit the beach. We followed her suggestion and went to the Freeman firm. It w as a large concern. Forry Smith was Dana’s chief mechanic. Dot Detora was his receptionist and Jane Morse was his bookkeeper. No sooner had we gone fifteen miles when we got a flat tire! After we had tramped some two miles we saw an arrow which said “Kane and Sheehy Garage 1 mile ahead.” One mile later and a trifle di¬ sheveled we reached the garage. When the car was fixed and we were on our way again, we tuned in on the radio to hear the familiar and cheery voice of Amy Wilton giving directions for her receipe of “Northern Fried Southern Style Chicken.” Amy’s program was followed by “The Jimmy Meikle Family Hour with All the Little Meikles.” At the beach we ordered a super-deluxe ice cream sundae at Doherty’s ice cream parlo r. While basking in the warm sun, we met Jane Doran with her four energetic sons. Just the person we wanted to meet to gather all the news about our classmates! Marilyn Zemba is now married to the ambassador from Bussia. Marjorie Blodgett and Mary Walsh are running a nursery school for back¬ ward debutantes. Lorraine Sabin is the nursery nurse. Chris Kane and Joan Kilton run a dude ranch where they specialize in breed¬ ing bow-legged horses for ding-toed cowboys. Virginia Verda is now a dress designer for the natives in.the South Seas. Joan Stoessel and Eunice Wilcox have just put on the market, striped dinner jackets for the aristocratic inmates at Alcatraz. We told Jane about the sensation Maureen Hogan and Bobbie McCoy were making in Miami Beach. Maureen is a sepulchral torch singer while Bobbie accompanies her with musical spoons. Civic-minded Laura Licciardello, in order to clean up the city, has a large chain of laundermats. Jane told us of the sensation Carolyn Dushame was making on Narrow lane, otherwise known in New York as Broadway, in “North Atlantic.” After a few r more days of vacationing in Johnsonia, we returned to the United States in a luxury liner owned by Florence Towne. Ever since her high school days, Florence has had a strong attraction for the sea. Respectfully, Arlene and Jim
