CLASS PROPHECY On my return from Kansas City to visit my parents after six years. I suddenly found myself in a changed and forgotten Minneapolis. After greeting and kissing the family and remarking on how mature the older brothers were beginning to look and on how good-looking young brother was getting. I began to ask about old friends and acquaintances. 1 learned from Mother that Margy Michelson was married and was one of the more active Junior Leaguers. I immediately departed to see “our class president” and fairly seethed with anxiety to see if 1 would recognize her. Margy received me very cordially and we started to reminisce about when we were “Seniors' and showed the younger school a thing or two. We finally began to discuss the members of the class—what they were doing and where they were. 1 learned that little Peggy Patton, after graduating from Connecticut College, had married and was now the wife of the foreign diplomat to England. I was sorry that I would not be able to see Peg. but was pleased to hear that she was fulfilling a youthful desire. I decided to walk home so that I could have more time to think about our class of 37. As I was turning a corner I crashed unexpectedly into a hurrying pedestrian and was profusely apologizing when I looked up and discovered Carry Adams rubbing her forehead. I fairly frightened the girl out of her wits as I helloed her. but she came out of her trance and greeted me. She said that as she was scurrying along, she was composing a story for the Journal. So Carry had made good and was now a newspaper woman! We arranged to go to a movie together that evening and then parted. After we had struggled through the Silly Symphony. we saw the newsreel. Following a brief address by the President, we experienced the pleasure of seeing for the first time the author of the current book. Come with the Storm. To Carry’s and my amazement it was our own classmate Kinnie Thrall, under a fictitious name. We nearly burst with excitement but restrained ourselves for the feature picture. Since neither of us had noticed what the picture was to be. we were delighted when it turned out to be the famous torch singer and immor-talizer of “You Turned the Tables on Me.” Sally Holladay. I went home from the movie glowing with pride in the success of our old class. Since I had been to college with Bet King. I was very much interested in what had happened to her. and upon investigation I learned that she was living on a ranch. I also learned that Peggy Rutherford and her husband owned a large ranch near Bet's. Since both were lovers of the ranch. I could think of no better career for them. I read in the paper that Alex Gallenkamp was an outstanding trumpet player in a symphony orchestra, and I went to see Alex one evening, but arrived just as she was leaving. However, she whisked me off with her in her car and was very secretive about our destination. Our conversation centered on her caroer. and she told me that she had played for the Russian Ballet in which Virginia Haglin was the premiere danscuse and did a beautiful piece of work. This I knew to be true for I had read so much about Ginny's success in the Ballet. I was very bewildered about where we were going, but I accepted the situation. My patience was rewarded with a wonderful surprise. I was present at the wedding of Dolly Flannery. As Dolly walked down the aisle on the arm of her father. I heard a voice singing. It sounded familiar, and I finally recognized it as the voice of our songbird. Grace Tully. I could bear it no more. 1 broke down and wept as 1 saw Dolly united with the general manager of a large department store. Mother took me to the Woman's Club for lunch on my last day. and as we were conversing in the living room. 1 heard two loud yelps and running feet. Behind these active little ruffians. 1 saw a young lady hurrying and heard the familiar “geczle bcc le. There was no mistaking the utterer of that phrase. It was good old Peg Carpenter. And the children were her prophesied twins. We all had luncheon together and I told the twins how sorry I was that I had left my little Buddy at home, but they didn’t look a bit sorry. Anonymous.
