we elm aww, ELOISE IXJORTON JIM CARPENTIER PHYLLIS EVERLY The sky was a dreary gray and the wind and rain chased noisily around the house at 319 East State. Inside, three discouraged people sat and waited for a brainstorm to break. Both our minds and our papers were a complete blank on the subject at hand-the Prophecy for The Class of 1946. Suddenly the door bell startled us out of our make-believe world. Eloise opened the door on a tall, thin man, dressed all in black, with a long cape lined in scarlet, thrown over his shoulder. The man proved to be crystal-gazer who had been engaged for the evening by the Princeton Theater. He was unfamiliar with the town and we gave him the necessary directions. In return, he offered to foretell the future of our class. VVe explained our dilemma concerning the class prophecy and asked him for help. He seated him- self in a comfortable chair and began slowly to speak as he gazed in his crystal ball. lt is the year 1966. I see Bill Ammerman and wife, Betty Behymer, still with the Occupation Army in Germany. Another couple, also in Ger- many, is Barbara Bingham and her husband, Karl King. Featured at the exclusive Copacabana in Holly- wood, I find Charles Camp and his exotic partner, Anna Lee Clark, dancing to the music of The Electric Spasms, led by Don Newman. Also fea- tured is vocalist, Thelma Kays. At the new enlarged Super Market, formerly Kroger's, I find Jack Board as General Manager. He now is owner of several branch stores besides the one in Princeton. Under him are Bob Wat- kins, Charles Bruce, and Bill Grubb. At the cashier stands are Juanita Decker and Mary Jo Arburn. Competing against Jack are Bill Clark, manager of the AXP store and Nadine Moratta, the owner of an open-air food market. At Lockheed, I see Frank Caskey, Head of En- gineering. His assistants are Bill Farmer, Carl Lehman, and Floyd Richards. They are happily married to Patsv Downs, Billie McClain, and Vir- ginia Hillyard respectively. Floyd is a confirmed bachelor. Pervis Swain is still trying to convince Mariedith Cooper that he is the man for her. So far she hasn't said Yes. Mrs. Joseph A. McGuire, the former Eloise Morton, has just received word that her son has won the Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. He will be accompanied to England by his parents who will tour Europe before returning to the States. At the Christian Church I find Verl Underwood and Lester Ringham :till trying to organize a choir. Their efforts have met with repeated opposition, but they have resolved never to give up. In the deepest dark corner of Africa, I see Paul Goodson trying his salesmanship out on the na- tives-his merchandise consists of top hats and dress suits. Stationed near him is Catherine Fisher, who is a missionary and has just been reported successful in checking the smallpox plague. The serum she used was sent to her by Dr. Joseph McCarty. This discovery has placed Joe high in the annals of medical science. In New York's Palace Theatre, I find Wanda Pavey making her debut as a toe dancer. You'll remember her as having made a decided hit, for she is one of the very few women who dances on her toes rather than on those of someone else. 1 Dora Small Hughes and her family have moved back to Princeton since her husband gave up his position as instructor at the Annapolis Naval Academy. She is sending her two small children to the kindergarten opened by Betty Whitted at the new Franklin building. In the corridor of the Gibson General Hospital Mrs. Joe Pollock is pacing up and down waiting for a report on Joe's eye operation. He stabbed himself in the eye with a fork while riding on a train between here and Indianapolis. The superin- tendent of the hospital, Patsy Elshoff, has encour- aged Mrs. Pollock, the former Marilou Nash, by telling her Joe will be able to go home in about a week. Joe is being especially well taken care of since his wife obtained Dorothy Cunningham as his special nurse. Flora Graves is the dietitian at the hospital. While enroute home from New York following a successful season with the New York Yanks, Ray Pegram and wife, Mona Graves, with Ray, Jr., have met Mrs. Bernard Allerellie, the former Roma Jean Smith, who is going to join her hus- band in Boston where he is playing with the Cards in an exhibition game. After the game they are going to spend the winter in Florida. The Martha Ernestine Walker Vocal Studios will give its annual recital in Indianapolis next week. The local theatre is featuring Joanna Dant and Marv Ellen Hayden in Romance of a Lark. Earl Peach is manager of the theatre and secures the best in movies and stage shows.

Phyllis escorted him to the door and we all thanked him for his help. As the door closed, Eloise asked jim for the notes he had taken. Notes, he said, What notes? I thought you were taking it down, Phyllis. I was so interested, I forgot. Don't tell me we have this to do over! just then Jim's mother came in from the dining room and handed Eloise a notebook. It's all there, she said. I saw that you were all so inter- ested you forgot to take it down. All three breathed a sigh of relief.
