CLASS PROPHECY To be or not to be! That was the question. I sat before the Crystal Gazer in a darkened room and listened to her softly spoken words- Cross me with silver, ya jerk! So I did-and silence reigned as the Salomie-I mean Swami-extended her hands on the Crystal Ball, saying-latsyrc llab. tThat's Crystal Ball spelled backwards! Latsyrc llab, what does the future show?-Ah! A mist is gathering. tShe couldn'l fool me-I knew the ball needed dustingl. Concentrate deeply-deeply-I see a woman surrounded by young children-a bristle-beaned guy comes into the room. She is shaking her finger at him-Listen-She's saying, So you came home late again last night, Ioe! After you promised me! But Mary Anna, darling-put down that plate! She throws it at him and then the broom and the mop-pail, and finally she says, When I think of my slaving for you here while you galavant out every night-If I'd only gone to Hollywood when I had the chance-but No! I married you, and now, Cas is back-but Margaret O'Brien's got him! tWe all remember Casinova Bement, who made a hit on stagei. She's crying now, but wait!-the picture is fading- What's this? A bird? A plane? Superman? No, it's a plane-the largest in the world. Iohnson's Iet-propelled Iunk Heap. Even greater than the famous Lockheed Constellation-It's run by Cliffie Iohnson this name used to be Skip , until he went to Rochesterj Anyway, he's president of this great corporation-all it does is produce lunk Heaps and heaps of Junk! The president of the U. S. gave him a citation for inventing Iohnson's Iet-propelled Iunk Heaps. They're guaranteed to fall apart every hour, thus putting more people to work, fixing them. But again the mist- This time it's Eleanorski Dunhamski-she was really Eleanor Dunham, but while she was in New York on a visit, Gromyko, the Russian delegate to the U. N. O. Conference, saw her and promised her if she'd go back to Russia with him and be his little Czarina , he'd never walk out on another conference. Mmm-the ball is producing huge bubbles-does this mean- could it be that? -Why, yes, Eleanor was a dancer for a living. Again the mist-What have we here? Sh-it looks like a stage-it is! lt's the revival of Arsenic and Old Lace starring Ioyce Clark and Ruth deLorraine as the two old maids who poisoned men fthe dopeslb Another picture is crowding the ball- -Ah, it is a school room in Painted Post High School-a small Chubby dark-haired man sits behind the desk threatening the class. The teacher is Mr. Boland Smith, the world's greatest teacher on Einstein's theories. Mr. Smith has also become very popular with the students by installing individual comptometers in all desks used by students taking mathematical regents. 99 IOXIOW usually pass!-- Fade out! Complete this time- You must cross my palm with silver again -iso again it was her palm-with silver!! Ah, the light is getting brighter! I see a man walking down the street -his clothes are rags, and his feet are making debuts Cby that, I mean they are- coming out .l A closer look reveals that it is Irish McCarty-the once prominent baseball star. He used to be star pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers, but everybody called him a bum so often that it began to prey on his mind, and as a result, he became just that-a bum! But what's this? A beautiful girl is running toward him crying Save Me . Poor Irish starts to run tin the other direction? and soon all three are running-First Irish the painted doll Cwho is none other than Barb Hubbard still living her role of Sadie Bloom !: -and a third character. Obviously Irish is running from the girl, but who is the girl running from? All at once the long arm of the law reaches out and grabs the pursuing figur-It turns out to be Handsome Harry tlaagerboml, who makes the girls swoon by daylight tby crooning to them! and makes them scream by night tby chasing theml. When asked about this strange Dr, Iekyl-Mr. Hyde personality of his. Harry can only say- Revenge! for the years wasted at Painted Post High! Perhaps I
