Class Prophecy • Continued some .... Now, bring me some of that black powder. I shall put a gram of it in this tube, hold it over the flame; and a mist begins to rise. Ah-h, the picture is forming. Behold Bill Abbott. It seems as if he is on a stage of a large theater, taking the place of the late Fred Astaire. The audience is clapping—the picture is gone. I shall add a little of this blue liquid. There! We see Roy Agsten. No, he’s now known as a second Leopold Stokowsky. See him toss his magnificent silvery head as he leads his symphonic orchestra. I’ll throw a few of these yellow crystals over the picture. Look! The first seat in the front row is occupied by Doctor Garnett Berkebile. This is her one free night from the hospital. She is entranced by the music. The picture passes and we see Carl Bratton whistling as he walks through the cool morning air to his big, white barns. But another picture is forming. It is Dorothy Clair. She is known as the new American Sweetheart.” Dorothy is still flirting. Mr. Heischman, will you just pass me that jar of pink liquid? Thank you. Oh yes, may I have that spoon . . . Here is a new vision. The office of Mile. Maxine Maddock, the best-known dress designer in America. Our Mile. Maddock is sitting at her desk chatting with Lois Moser, who has just published a best seller. Our dress designer presses a button and in pops her secretary, friend and traveling companion, Arlene Cooper; her personnel director, Joy Lehman; and the bookkeeper, Glenn Gamber. It looks as if a lengthy conversation is under way. Mr. Kibele—may I call you Kib—hand me those queer-looking capsules. Here is the one I want. This picture of Bertha Falor (nee Nash) . She is now a cousin of the eminent dentist, Doctor Richard Falor, of Nobytuck, Alaska. With the addition of another capsule, we find Grace Eberly the matron of the Treatemswell Orphanage. The famous roller-skater, Joan Williams, has consented to spend a day there, thrilling the orphans with her fancy skating. She is performing beautifully. A look of surprise comes over your face, Kib. Are you surprised to see Betty Jean Geer and Alice Favorite? Pardon me, Mrs. V. Spiess and Mrs. T. Haupricht. They are the best of friends. At the moment Sadie Njaim is serving them with chocolate sundaes. Remember Sadie? She is now proprietress of the Njaim Restaurant. Drop in a few drops of that acid. What!! Well, Mrs. Johnson, it looks as if you had better help Lawyer Lucerne Redd with her case in behalf of Wilford Moore and Kenneth Wiley. They hit Herbert Watkins. Of course, they didn’t mean to damage his baritone horn! A drop of the purple liquid and we see Dorothy Orndorff and Thelma Waite back at D. H. S. They have taken the places of the Misses Ward and Furman who have retired. The mist rises and there are Kermit Hatfield, Curn Richard, Edwin Makula and Paul Valentine consulting Junior Shelf, coach at Delta, on the finer points of football and basketball. Shelt trains 21
