Class Prophecy It had been exactly twenty years since my graduation from Rutland High School. I was alone and feeling slightly reminiscent. Perhaps the radio would bring my thoughts back to the present. 1 turned the dial to “News”. The very first announcement told of a ship which was thought to be lost in a storm. Among the passengers on board were Post- master-General. John Folan and t.he famous singer Helen Grass. The whole nation was listening for an S. (). S. but none had been heard yet. If news of the boat were not received soon, the government would send in search of them a number of planes under the supervision of Robert Smith, the world famous pilot. 1 turned the radio off and picked up the evening paper. The headlines read “Ambass- ador to France makes Peace Treaty”. Much to my surprise, the newly appointed diplo- mat was my former classmate, Clyde Davis. On the society page I read an account of Lyndall Lyons’ big party for the President of the United States of America, John Nelson. Lyndall had become the most important society leader in the large and wealthy city of Rutland. Ohio. Next I turned to the sports page. There I saw a picture of Lucille Wise the former women’s champion wrestler. She was accepting a contract in Hollywood with Fox Pictures. Her first picture was to be “Up and Att’em . Starring with her will be Samuel Davis. Captain of the good ship “Rutlandier”. After finishing the paper, I turned to the radio again. The voice 1 heard sounded familiar. At the end of the program the announ- cer said, Tune in again tomorrow evening at 8:00 p. in.. B. S. T. for another program with Gladys Conkle and her Home Receipts”. 1 knew then that it was one of my old classmates, whom 1 hadn’t seen for many years. I left the radio on to see what the next program would be. It was orchestra music directed by Kenneth Davis. The members of the orchestra were introduced, as this was the first time they had played over that station. To my surpiise Gladys Anderson was the leading violinist- As 1 was listening to the orchestra, I glanced at a magazine on the table. The picture on the cover looked familiar. Betty Amos and Herman Kincaid, the world’s greatest comedians would be on the air at 9:15 p. m., E. S. T. I settled back in my chair and was entertained for an hour by two ot my old school chums. This ended my rather busy day—busy because I had just accepted a position as pass- enger agent to Mars and was planning to take the students of Rutland High School on my first trip to tiiat planet —Vesta Nelson
