PROPHECY VVhile thumbing through the Hector Tribzme, originally the Acorn News, I thought I might find the whereabouts of my old classmates. I noticed an article on Valentino. It seems they have a new one in Hollywood, even greater than the first and it turned out to be none other than our old classmate, Lewis Cox. it seems women just roll in the aisles and can't eat for days after they see one of his pictures. The way he loves the opposite sex is pathetic. Wliile making a picture Valentino hired the most famous Sherlock Youckton Holmes to keep track of Lewis' harem. George Youckton alias, Sherlock Youckton Holmes, while tracking one of Lewis Yalentino's lady-friends, ran into Doug Bennett, who said he was making literally millions in the soda pop business. He invented a new kind of soft drink with lots of foam and a lot of kick. He said his twin brother, Don, was doing very well in Australia raising mountain goats. He also has a little factory that puts out kiddy clothes. In another section of the country, quite another section is Alberta Connors flying around in her Rocket Space ship. It seems she just made a trip to jupiter and was back in only three days. In her spare time she runs a swimming resort on Mars. l ran into Ann one day while eating lunch. She was eating her daily dinner of celery and crackers. I guess a week previous she gained one pound making her weight all of 80 pounds and that couldn't be, as she is a light woman jockey. We chatted a while there as she told me that Marilyn was living a quiet life with Squeek in lilma, She was having troublegher oldest boy keeps running away, but his bright red hair aids her in finding him. You know she has five red haired boys now. She says that Georgia Burch comes to visit her quite often. Louie has become quite a big boy and is going to the new Oakville Grade School. They had to hire two teachers just for him alone. Georgia also is doing well with her invention of un- washable diapers and an automatic baby burper, which she invented when Louie was a baby. I always knew Barbara Imnon would make it. Yes, she's playing quarterback for Notre Dame. VVithout her, they wouldn't have a team. She's also captain for the fourth year straight. Also in the athletic bracket is our old classmate, -lay ljoor, who is the world champion heavyweight boxer. He only weighs 215 pounds now. It seems a fighter can't last one round with him. lf he don't knock them cold in the first minute, he considers it a bad night, In his last tight he hit a guy so hard they never did hurl the pieces. Of course Orville is married to Carol and is living in Rochester. lslis name, however is Orville Coniue, as she didn't want to change her name. They have eight children. jim Frost isn't doing bad for himself-dancing on TV with Fred Astaire. It's rumored that hels causing Betty Grable to get a divorce to marry him. He was dating Elizabeth Taylor before this. Our old classmate, Stanley Ames, is now Major General Ames and is in full charge of the forces in Russia. It seems that he enjoys the Army life very much. Another classmate, Fred Moe, is a manufacturer of hot rods, with red and green radiant tires and pink, purple, and orange striped hood. They say he is making millions, not because of the hot rod but because of the flashy colors. He is residing in a mansion on Lake VV1lClCI'I1C5S and is a bachelor, still trying. But the most famous of all is our old class President, john Russell, who has become President of the L'nited States. He is thinking of building a new Wliite House and painting it red. 12 The 1951 Tillicum
