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.
