VOX FLUMINIS Page Tan - EWS, - A PROPHECY FOR 1944 In her evening paper, Matron Elizabeth fDocj MacKay of the---- Qrphan Asylum, read the following social item: ' Miss M. Floyd Stephens is arriving in the city . Saturday morning en route to Edmonton. The next morning she hurried through the station looking for the tall silver-haired teacher of her Riverbend School days. Seeing Miss Floyd Stephens in the distance, she hurried up to her. n Soon the conversation turned to Miss Floyd Stephen's first Riverbend class, the Grade X. of 1934. i And what has happend to all your classmates, Betty ? VVell briefly- Aldy has married an Englishman, Lord Percival Perkins and has a small son, NVilly. She is living in England. I suppose you know that one of the leading Hollywood stars, Fran- cesca Tone, is really Monica Cave. Fernie is on the stage too. starring in musical comedies. In Katie married a multi-millionaire but she is now a gay young divorcee. XVilla is as good as ever at languages. She has high hopes of becom- ing a foreign secretary. Hutchie is in charge of a United Church mission in China and is doing excellent work converting heathens. Micurdy is now the proud possessor of a husband, one of the sweetest little bungalows you ever saw, and. last but not least, twins who are just learning to walk. i You'vei probably heard Nancy announcing over the radio, she has replaced Foster Hewitt on the General Motors Hockey Broadcast. ' VV ally has fulfilled her age-old ambition to be a grammar teacher. She is on the Riverbend staff now. And that's everybody, isn't it ? But you haven't told me anything about yourself yet, Betty. There isn't much to tell. I've been working in an orphan asylum ever since I graduated in nursing. Well, ejaculated Miss Floyd Stephens, I certainly never could have guessed ten years ago what those girls would be doing now!
