PROPHECY 1953 High on a hilltop where the wind was howling through the trees, a dim light shone out of a shaded window of a tower. Inside, a strong odor of burning incense pervaded the atmosphere of a tiny room wherein sat a lady gowned in Chinese silk with a tiara of rubies around her head. She was Madame La Rue Lazonga Morrison, former teacher in Slaton High School. She hovered over a huge crystal ball into which she was intently gazing. She 'started suddenly, as a familiar face weirdly danced across her crystal. As she began to concentrate upon it the vision became clear and she saw Iohn L. Gordon tirelessly beating first-grade arithmetic into the heads of little Leon Ir. and sister, Dorris, who were the children of Leon Grochowsky and the former Dorris Clifton. Madame was very pleased at seeing some of the people she had taught in Slaton High School back in 1943 and went through sev- eral mysterious motions in coniuring more visions of bygone days. A large ocean liner suddenly came into view and on its bridge stood A. R. Golding, captain of the ship, and by his side was navigator Harold Hacker. On the passenger deck sat Mary Mann Sargent and Billie Ruth Sledge, who appeared very eager to get to China, where they were to do correspond- ence work for the New York Herald. Also associated with this paper was Buddy Housour, who had grown famous overnight with his new comic strip, Gagbusters. Over on the recreation deck of the ship Dorothy Iones was enthusiastically beating Lori Anne Young at a game of deck tennis. These two were on a tour after closing their dude ranch for the winter. Down below, standing by the bar was Stanley Brown, who was with a group of engineers that were going to China to build back part of the Burma Road. A wealthy-physician turned his head away from the paper where he had been reading about Sam Phillips' and Mike Iohnson's record-breaking glider flight, and Madame saw the face of her former student, Austin Yeates. White veils and orange blossoms floated down the aisle of the St. larnes Cathedral as Bonnie Childress Cwho was to marry General Shirley Butlerl, Allene Perdue, Wyona West, and Geraldine Pickett Call of whom had been wooed and won by soldiers? iitterbugged gaily down the aisle to the strains of Zluolregpyx as played at the organ by Iuanell Hart. Wanda Townsend was Bonnie's matron oflhonor. l Love You Truly was guite touchingjasusurfcfbyljauline Kenny. The former Misses Tom- mie Dozier and Bonnie Traweek beamed as their little girls followed the group down the aisle with the rings. , After the wedding the crowd went to the sumptuous reception which was being held at the Spot- ted Pig, which was jointly owned by Linden Clack and Moe Smith. Scott Lovelady and Charlene Fisher supervised the roulette games. Barbara Bates' famous orchestra furnished some very good enter- tainment. Among the members of her orchestra were Malcolm Sanders and Bobby Ray Martindale, Emma Faye Ely was her vocalist. As the wedding party was at last on its way home they saw a sign stating that Iames Savell's Pure-Breed Hog Ranch was just around the next turn. On this ranch Meathead Paulson and Iames Garland were rounding up the hogs in little jeeps when Winna Mae Paul, the housekeeper, announced dinner. At the table quite a fuss was raised about weevils in the beans which had been bought at Glenn Scroggins' Hot Spot Grocery and Market. Bud Iohnson was the headlaulcgiergg. R., .-m.,-,..,Y 2,1112-
