.CLASS PRQPHECY By M... The sign reads, Sees All, Knows All, Madame Zodiac. Colby and I decided to go in. The room was dimly lighted and very gloomy. In one corner was a table with the so-called Madame Zodiac seated behind it. We were both debating whether or not to stay when we noticed the crystal ball, which was like a magnet drawing us over to the table. I finally spoke. Do-o-o-o- Yo-u-u-u think you could tell the future for Colby, for me and the rest of our NTHS classmates? Just then the crys- tal ball began to get hazy. Then clearer. Yes, clearer. We can now see twelve men. Look, a woman, still clearer. Why Colby, that is Jean Armstrong and the twelve men are the jury. My, my, what do you suppose Jean is doing in a court room? Now we can hear the stern voice of the judge saying, Jean, did you or did you not sell OLIVES without a license? Now the ball is getting foggy. The ball has cleared up again, and we can see a road sign. It reads, Welcome to Peanutville, West Virginia. We can now see a house and there are two children playing outside. Look, Colby, doesn't that woman look like our old classmate, Yolande Roberts? It is Yolande. She must have married Don and they are living on a peanut plantation. Her dreams have come true. I'm so happy for her. From West Virginia we go to New York and are walking down Fifth Avenue, the fashion center of the world. Entering an exclusive dress shop, we begin watching a fashion show. Why isn't that Bernice Berry parading down the aisle like a slim siren modeling Pierre's latest and probably last creation, a white net gownless evening strap? From New York, we travel back to our home town, North Troy. In the foreground is a huge Pink Mansion with a beautiful lawn. As we ap- proach the house we hear a voice ring out, I wish I were back in school again. Why, isn't that Juliette Cadieux? Can't be. Just then the door opened and out come two, four, six, seven, eight children. Why there's Juliette. We stopped and talked with her and she told us she had married after graduation, and her husband had stopped working at the mill and now owned his own busi- ness, a filling station. Juliette looked so happy. As this scene fades out the crystal ball becomes terribly cloudy. Then it starts getting clearer. Why, lt's the familiar face of Archie Cota presenting a striking appearance on a television show. He looks as though he were about to sing and we listen. Suddenly his voice rings out. Spic and Span, once over and it's new. Buy Spic and Span. The crystal ball is now cloudy. It looks like a storm. It is snowing and blowing. Why, we are on top of Jay Peak. Look, there's a house. No, it's a store. There is a sign above the door, CURRIER'S TRADING POST. As we approach it, we find that Colby graduated and has a business of his own on top of Jay Peak. From Jay Peak we travel back to New York City. On the corner of 5th and 6th Avenues we see a garage and our old friend and classmate, Donald Austin. We stopped and talked and he told us that after graduation he had bought his own business and was very happy. But poor Don, he was trying to put a tube in a tubeless tire. The crystal ball began getting cloudy again. What! Is this another snow storm? Yes, and we can see someone walking. Yes, it is Durward Starr. We stopped and talked and he told us he was now a veterinarian and was on his way to save Henry Pigeon's only cow. It seems Henry had graduated and bought a farm. He only has one cow now but plans to buy ,another in the near future. The ball is getting cloudy again. We can hear organ music. That song is familiar. Yes, it is MULE TRAIN. The ball is clearing up and we see that we are in a church. Why, it is a wedding. There are Laura Hamelin and David Leavitt standing at the altar. They both look very happy. The crystal ball is getting cloudy again. The c1'ystal ball is very cloudy now. Isn't that dust we see? Yes, it is. We are at a Hot Rod race. Car No. 13 has won. Here comes the driver. Why, it's our old school chum, Lorraine Beaudry. She is doing the work she has always wanted to do. The ball is clear now. We are back in Northern Vermont. Why, here are a lot of ditches, dug for a pipe line. Who's that man resting on a shovel? Why, it's Raymond Gendron. He has just dug a ditch, one-foot square and is all tired out. Here comes a young lady with some lemonade for the men. Why, isn't that June Fidler? Yes, it is. She has become a lawyer and married Raymond and now she is the main bread-winner. He does not make much money digging ditches. The crystal ball is getting cloudy and we can hear the sound of cans. Now the ball is clearing. Yes, the cans we could hear were milk cans, and there is Don Douglas. He said that he had bought H. P. Hood and Sons out. He has a good business. Now the crystal ball becomes very clear and Madame Zodiac says the class seems to have all passed through the crystal ball as it shows no more signs. All of a sudden the crystal ball began to get black. In a very dim outline we can see two people. Why, that is you, Donna, with Chic. You are living in a house where the town sheds once stood. They had been seen there so often before they were married that they decided to build a house there because they were so familiar with the environment. They both seemed very happy. Now the crystal ball becomes cloudy again. Then, gradually it becomes clear again. There is Mr. Brennan, our former advisor. He is on the Harlem Globetrotter bench in Madison Square Garden. He said that he is now coaching the Trotters and is having a very successful year. Page Twenty-one
