CLASS PROPHECY It is the year of 1967 and as I stroll down the street of the vast metropolis of Ovidia I suddenly remember that this is the night for 0vid's Class Reunion of 1957, fOvid's name has been changed to Ovidia to protect the innocent.J I hurry down Mainia Street, jump into my Jilguar and buzz to the Golden Buckeroo. I enter the Golden Buckeroo I see Mary Rice as hostess, her gift of gab has also made her a well known teacher of nursing, and-ah-such. As I sit at my appointed place I see an lmfamiliar figure approaching, why it's Nancy Hatch. Myl There is a slight difference in the figure Fat Lady. My here comes that great Broadway actress Patty Diving. When she was in school, her real name was Pat Griffin. Ah, but you know these Broadway stars. Why here comes a group of men, I think. Let's see. Why, that's James O'Hora, the big car salesman. Iguess hehad to start selling cars to keep himself supplied and who is this approaching? Why, none other than Mike Depew the well known Las Vegas gmbler, better known as Slippery Depew with sideburns. lsn't that big Mike Bush? He looks distinguished. He just bought another grocery store now he owns so many that it's like having a new baby every week. We have another familiar face. It's Dave Wilsonon vacation from his mathematical duties. Professor, what is the lesson for today? Isn't that William Murphy? Remember? He was the polite boy in English Class. He is a Marine sergeant now, teaching classes in culture. Don't look now but here comes the master mind in chemical engineering. I'm speaking, of course, of William Halsey. Who is that distinguished looking state trooper? It's Don Paro. Ihear he gives out so many tickets a week the motorists just stop and pay hint Here comes bouncing Beverly Kirme, the springy gym teacher. More bounce to the oumce, Bev. There's Barbara Wilen and Pat Alger. Do you know that they're the highest paid baby sitters in New York Stateg in fact they head the Baby Sitters Union. Here comes another familiar face. It's Nancy Covert. She's the waitress with the get up and go. Be careful of that banana split. Myl Myl Look at the girl in the bathing suit and water skis. It's Phyllis McIntosh. She is now the star of Aqua.rium Ocean Show. There's Laura Schultz. She is well known as Presidatt of the Elvis Presley Fan Club. She is also his personal secretary. Watchout, Elvis, here she comes! who is this approachng? Why it's that svelte Rita Xavier, well known critic of the arts. Which art I'm not quite sure. Here comes that lean Slim fhandsome brutey better known as Richard Rabinowitz G11 But we couldn't mistake his identity with that easel and smock. Look it's Elmer Martz and Harry Hayes stepping out of their big, new, shiny, Cadillacs. Maybe we should look into this prosperous farming business. Hayts Corners is really booming now. Yes, it's Tommy Jones. His variety store really put the place on the map. Whois this coming with his face all grease? It's Mike Hernon. His head has been under the hood again and the cops are on his tail. Why, look who's coming. It's Martha Ott. My, but she is abusy little girl. She is president of the F.H.A. - The Federal Housing Administra- tion, that is. Say, isn't that G1adysVaughn?She certainly has gone out of this world. She is now head stewardess on the rocket Moon. Get a load of that! It's Joseph Sincebaugh. He's famous, You must have heard of Sincey's Whiskey. .T0e's own special recipe. Who is that distinguished looking woman? Didn't Ihear some- one say she is the author of Negligees in the Breeze? Then that's Elizabeth Wilen. Who are these two characters coming in the door? Boyl Have we got it in for them. CHal Hal We planned their futures.D Betty Steen, Ruth Woods. 13
