Class Prophecy It was growing dusky outside, hut the fire crackled warmly in the little room. It threw off it’s rosy glow on the yellow pages of an open hook being diligently studied by a wrinkled old lady. Her head nodded over the printed lines, until finally her whole being was wafted gently away. Yes, away from her own Marjorie Torgerson’s “Home for Spritely Spinsters.” Margie drifted on a misty cloud, which soon brought her to rest on a quaint, cobblestone street. She started walking down the road when suddenly a limousine rolled by. It was driven by none other than Clyde Chamberlain, who was dressed in top hat and tails. I n-doubtcdly he’s going to see one of bis chorus euties,” she mused, “that old casonova!” Further down the road she passed a hospital with this plaque imbedded in the door: “Saenger Memorial Hospital, Named in honor of nurse Dorothy Saenger, who discovered the cure for ingrown toenails.” Crossing an intersection. Margie met l»at Dickey on the way to her beauty salon. Fat’s long black hair gleamed in the sunlight as she moved. Further down the road she passed a huge billboard advertising Betty Zeis’ new product—A cream guaranteed to remove freckles. Our little heroine paused to rest under a large shady tree. She sat there musing about this strange journey she was taking. Soon, a lone figure came prancing down the road. His huge muscles gleamed, and quite obviously he was a prize-fighter. Seeing the old lady, he came up beside her and sat down to catch his second wind. Immediately Margie recognized him as Dexter Dcnniston. who had just defeated Joe Louis for the world championship. Dexter told her all about his life and friends. Many of his school chums were famous. and doing interesting things. For instance. Jim Holstrom, a-nother true athlete with brawn to spare, had become coach at Fine River High School. Dex knew an outstanding mathematician. Adrian Futtin. He just adored figures. A certain Miss Merry Miller had very definite music ability—so she opened a music store. Wilda Kline was livingg in a little vine-covered cottage, busy raising cheer-leaders. Right next door Lorraine Schmelzcr was bringing up basket-ball players. One of Dex’s dainty, very feminine class-mates, Maxine Dubbs, was Dean of a Girls Finishing School in Boston. The cream of Society sent daughters to her for tutoring. Ellen Boquist was an ardent horse lover. This was evident, because she became a bare-back rider in Donnie Emery’s world-famed circus. Dexter even knew the owner of the gorgeous Flame Room, Dale Tappe. “Flame” was right—Dale hired only chorus girls and entertainers with red hair. Margie was thrilled by stories of those two great American hunters, Roy Farr and Roland Kleen. They penetrated the dark jungles carrying civilization to the natives. Yes, when they were through with their work the official anthem of every village was “Open the Door, I'm-Ba-Ga-l'm, Richard.” And even the star of New V rks Roller Follies, Macella Farnum, had attended school with Dex, as well as Dora Sundermeyer, who had manufactured a new “anti-sleep” pill, which she proved was very effective. In Fine River, a new library had just been built. Ruby Jepperson was appointed head librarian. Cheery Henry Goldenstein was using his personality in selling potato peelers—because he was saving money to get through school. Despite the time required by this outside job, Henry’s grades at the Central Barber College were excellent. Anyone who followed the society pages of prominent newspapers was sure to find the column written by Nora Knutson. Her helpful hints on such problems as food, styles—and men—were a constant inspiration to many. And anyone interested in the funnies would certainly know Eldon Feterson, creator of “Perry and the Pirates.” Marilyn Flategraff, better known as Madame Drape La Shape, was a celebrated Paris fashion designer, and all her modeling was done for her by Lois Jones. Adeline Rodean was very capably editing a new magazine called “Improved Homes and Gardens”. Her chief advisor on interior decorating was Trudy McLaughlin. Yes, those two together put out the best magazine the Agricultural Department of Cass County had seen. About this time Dexter decided he had rested long enough. After his departure Margie also rose to continue on her way, but suddenly that odd mist surrounded her. She felt it moving and— Margie looked up to see two white haired old ladies, one pulling the blinds and the other preparing her tea. “Goodness, girls, thats sweet of you. I didn’t realize it was so late. I got to glancing over this old high school annual, and fear I must have fallen asleep. But it was so interesting”. “Yes, and you were resting so peacefully we hated to disturb you, Marjorie,” said the director of the home, Doris Paulson. Viv Leseman broke into the conversation with “Oh, fiddle! But Marjorie, isn’t it fun to dream about what we might have been?” And so the sun set on the “Sprit-ed Spinsters.”
