PROPHECY On the banks of the peaceful Hudson River lies a quiet little resort called Sing Sing. Down in cell block 5, in the women’s division of this fortified structure, live No. 9232 and No. 9239. As we listen in on the conversation of these two lady inmates, we find them enveloped in a deep cloud of gloom. “It sure gets boring in here,’’ groans No. 9239. ‘‘Nothing exciting ever happens.’ “ Yeah,’’ answers No. 9232. ‘‘| knew we should never have carved our names on our desks at school. If we hadn’t we wouldn’t be here now.”’ “| know it, 9232. This place makes me feel so unnecessary.”’ “Well, it’s already 1965 and in about one more year we will be free women again, | hope.’ ““Say, | have something here that might help to pass a little time. | just received a recent copy of the Old Town Tattler which tells all about some of our former classmates. Relax, and put away that file for a few minutes while | read it to you.”’ “First, it says that Mona Hill is styling the very latest in fashion designs, with her crea- tions being modeled by the fabulous Margaret Marie Reddick. “‘Admiral Philip Jackson Moore is making a spectacular success in the navy, while Privates First Class Bobby Kurdian and Gwyn Staley are pulling K.P. duty in the army. It seems that when they went home on a recent pass, they took their wives to see the premier of Hollywood star Mary Rosalind Snell’s picture, which drew a tremendous crowd. Directing the picture of Miss Snell is James Clifton Phelps. Both of these young people became famous practically over night as the result of a previous movie. ‘Betty Cox, who married right after graduation, keeps house and in addition has a fascinat- ing part time job stuffing bologna. ‘Azalea Worrell, who is very happily married, is raising a large family. “‘Chief-bouncer in Jerry Sharpe’s famous Golden Nugget Casino is John ‘‘Hercules”’ Sprinkle. “Across the street from Sharpe’s place is a friendly little joint called Flung’s Billiards, under the management of Lindsey Norman. ““If you ever happen to need the services of private-eye Neil Chafin, he can usually be found resting in Flung’s place, plunking on his ukelele and singing about life getting tedious. He is currently employed by the lovely young heiress, Miss Ann Brown, to protect the fortune she recently inherited from an old gentleman whom Ann once befriended. “George Deo Smothers, Jr. is successfully filling the job of chief-tester in the well-known Roll’em YoYo Factory. “A hotdog stand has been opened at Rosebud Beach by Joanna Speas. Almost anytime you happen to be dropping by you will find Susie Cooke and Barbara Holt, plopped on a stool with a row of weinies in front of them, as they discuss the men that got away. “‘Every record that is turned out by Carolyn Perryman and Hazel Cartner, better known as the ‘Looney Sisters’, always flies to the top of the Hillbilly Hit Parade. Their latest effort en- titled, ‘If You Ain’t Loving, You Ain’t Living’, is really rolling. “Sportscaster Joe Weston, better known as ‘Big Ace’, has attained world-wide fame for his expert announcing of all sports events. “Gordon “OB’ Brewer is now a professional basketball star averaging 50 points per game. “‘Peggy Hurlocker is secretary to an important safety pin manufacturer. “Sylvia Hill, who is selling can-openers, has just won another pogo stick by being chosen star saleslady for the month of May. ““Barbara Comer is very happy operating a rest home for retired gentlewomen.’ “‘Gee, it’s wonderful to hear about our old school friends. It sure will be good when we get out to hear our own names again. Just think, we will be Carolyn Smitherman and Claudette Belton again instead of Nos. 9239 and 9232. | can hardly wait for that day to come!”’ ’ CAROLYN SMITHERMAN Prophetess
