Prophecy I had a crazy dream last night—all of a sudden Father Time” jumped ten years, and there 1 was sitting on a cloud—looking down at my pals! My. but they've changed. I saw Dick Cain in his huge office at the U. S. Steel Corporation Plant—His winning ways have prevented many strikes between labor and capital. I discovered Nancy Obenhaus in a big office! On the window it said Editor of the Wednesday Evening Post. Vivian O'Neill now wears two rings on her left hand. I saw her in a cozy little nest near Plano, waiting for her hubby to come home. Fred Bowker was sweeping the sidewalk in front of his Royal Blue Store. He now has a thriving business. Then I gazed out Hollywood way and whom should I meet but Warren (Swoon) Greenwood playing opposite Ula Wright They've now made six smash-hit musicals together. Ula informed me she was living with Betty Burson in her mansion. Betty is a successful movie star. too. A second Marjorie Main Betty Jo Antrobus broke the record at typing with 249 words per minute recently She's now working doggedly to tie Dorothy Gillis. who is typing 250 words. I found Nancy Early living in the head-house at Annapolis occupied by Admiral Barker. She's busy setting up her own kindergarten. Gene Whitfield is a forest ranger busy putting out fires by careless smokers. I found Dorothy Woodruff teaching uneducated gentlemen how to rhumba and jitterbug. Jack Hclgren has found the right girl, and is happily married! (Much to the surprise of everyone). Irene Fitzpatrick is the star of the Amazons —a girl's basketball team. She averager 25 points a game. Lois Reimann is a famous commercial artist and has her own studio in New York Kenny Kessler I found hunting in the depths of Africa. Recently he shot the world's largest elephant in the left eye. Duane Johnson has a chain of ice-cream parlors all over the United States. Helen Kiley is living on a prosperous little farm near Big Rock. On a beach in California whom should I see but Colleen Rooney. She's a model for the “Powers Agency” and universally known as Pin-up Pat.” When I saw Richard Wagner he was seated at the controls of his newly-invented Diesel-Engine. Jerry Jaffc is the capable president of the University of Illinois. He also saves a coach’s salary by taking over the job himself. They haven't lost a game in two sea sons. Ed Duvick is now known as Doc Du-vick —he experiments with white rabbits on his massive farm. Dean Larson, his neighbor, is doing well on a pheasant farm. During the pheasant season he and Red Jr. always catch their limit. I have heard Harold Brand and Dick Fischer have just completed drafting the plans for the new “bigger and better S. T. H. S.” Robert Gran is turning down mechanical jobs because he is setting up his own little helicopter factory. Charlene Strode is the capable manager of the “Strode Restaurants. Inc. I saw Nadine Miller giving one of her customers the newest kind of permanent (invented by herself). She is running a little Beauty Salon in Sandwich. Janice Stratton is doing well for herself as the U. S. President's confidential secretary. Wonder if my dreams will come true? 16 The 194 6 Retted or
