ultar? The Crystal is getting clearer and I can see the faces perfectly, the happy couple is none other than Lucy Katherine Long and Robert Goggin. Sait a minute, another figure steps into the picture. It oo'i.'Ld.n t oe--yes; it is true! Joe Gilliland is the preacher who is tying the knot. I always did think he would come to some good end. I see curves in the Crystal. Polly Lovell is approaching. She is a second Mae West. Don’t miss her new picture, Cone South Young Man.” The Crystal tells me Jean Crawford is coming near. What is that she is calling? Chickens, why of course, I should have known. Jonder how she likes the farm? I'm getting seasick from looking out on the ocean. A ship steams into the picture. The name of it is the Newland. Ah, here cones the admiral now. Do I see what I think.I do? The admiral is none other than Mary Margaret McKenzie. What will women be doing next? The U. S. Navy always did need a woman's touch to brighten up things. Gracious! There is a great disturbance somewhere in an opera house. Madame Holtzclaw is singing selections from Hida. I always thought she would do something that made a lot of noise, because when she was in high school she could make more noise over nothing than anybody. In the Crystal I sea another who has found fame and fortune. She is sitting in her beautiful Lome alone. She is M-rgaret Chasteen, the famous actress, who is leading a life similar to Greta Garbo. She is saying, I wanta to be alone. She surely has changed her mind since the days when a green D-dge sat in front of her house all the tine. Someone has a very bright future. I see the lights of a Kroger truck passing, and Nancilynn Fox running out to greet the occupant. I'm glad to have found out that. Nancy did so well for herself. I see in this great ball of the future a man of great wealth. He is worth millions and walks with an air of importance. He has even surpassed the greatness of J. D. Rockefeller by starting in

the coal-oil business. They even called him Coal-oil Jonnny , Wonder where he is going? He is entering a French beauty salon. The Crystal tells me that Carl iisnley is a great hair designer. I see him setting a bowl on Coal-oil's head and giving him the la3test in French hair design. No wonder he was hurrying. The Crystal shows me a court scene. Juanita Reed and Billie Williams are the lawyers. Billie argues hopelessly, while Juanita smiles at the jury. Billy gives up the case. It's a shame that they will have such a hard time getting to heaven. The picture turns to a nice shady lane where a tramp with a pack on his back is wandering lazily along. It can't be but one person, Clayton Farmer. Wonder what he is playing hooky from? •Vho is that speaking and smiling at everyone? It must be a politician. «Vhy it's J. W. Holtzclaw, and he is running for dog catcher. I certainly wish you luck, J. W ! Ah'. I see romance in the air. Nancy Lee New-land sits in deep thought trying to make up her mind what she is going to be. She hears footsteps, and Henry Hester, Stanford's most eligible bachelor approaches. He is also the principal of school. Nancy's face lights up'. She has already made up her mind. Henry makes a quick exit and Nancy runs after him. I see lighting in the Crystal. Tommy Gooch is trying to invent a television machine so he can look at Essie Nave All day. Why go to all that trouble Tommy? See Madame Zabeide and she will help you. Someone is in great thought. Charlotte Ber-lepp is writing, in book form, all her thoughts that she has kept to herself so long. The name of the book is Why Do People Talk So Much. Last but not least a tall slender figure comes into the crystal. It is J. a. Tucker walking in a walkathon. He makes his living this way. Everyman has a place in this world even if he has to walk a long way to find it. I see nothing more in the Crystal as all the members of the class of '37 have faded into the future.
