CLASS PROPHECY Qcontinued from page twenty-twol via camel tail, hump, or whatnot, the entire 2nd Regiment assembled in a body on a big sand dune for chow . The feast consisted of sandy spinach dusty road sundaes, which actually tasted dusty. After the meal, Messrs. Randall and Taggart, who had arrived the day before, announced that come nightfall, they would present a musical show on the next sand dune. Two hours later the show began with a few everybody sing songs which nobody sang. Then the three main attractions, Donne Colton, Vince Telesco, and John Jacquemot, walked onto the prefabricated platform. Colton, tenor coloratura, sang a very convincing duet called l See Double When I Look at You . Telesco's mighty baritone voice then shifted the nearby sand dunes as he presented his rendition of l'm Gonna Wash That sand Right Outa My Hair . Then broadway star Johnnie Jacquemot acted out a shortened version of The Desert Wolf . The show ended as Johnnie, Donne, and Vince teamed up to present a comedy in six movable parts. The audience howled with laughter at the various acts that the three performed. Then Randall, who had wished to see his show a smash hit, stopped spraying the audience with Hart's laughing gas, but the laugh- ing continued, proving the show a success. At the end everyone, including Donne, Vince, and John, rushed to congratulate the performers. It was only then, that the various members of the Class of 1952 who had in any way been involved in the foregone battle first saw and recognized all their classmates. By some act of fate, the whole class was present, except for Dave Ward, whose hands were tied up in negotiations over his watch designing business in the States. After the initial salutations and handshakes had been exchanged, the happily re- united classmen related numerous tales concerning their past adventures. Walkden claimed he had lit his cigarette on a passing bullet, and Speck stated that he had been hit by shrapnel, but had escaped death because the fragment was stopped by one of Ward's fabulous watches which he had in his shirt pocket. Indeed, the happy night extended until noon the next day. At that time, however, the ominous thunder of war again broke forth as the sound of enemy artillery fire once more resounded in the distance over the rolling white dunes of the Sandy Desert. Thus, the almost magical reunion of the Class of T952 came to an end as each of its members departed in his particular direction and again took up the task that lay before him. Jeffrey D.
