Now that we've finished our tour, let's drop in on the Double M. H. Club. Maybe since Mildred Herbert and Marjorie Horton are running it, we will get a cut in price. We may get a hamburger for 14 9f10 cents instead of 15 cents. Well, having met the folks again, we must go to our respective homes. ..,e-g-ig... XII-C PROPHECY It is now the year 1960 and I find myself once again on my way back to Cape Breton. Coming into Perry Lewis c-orner, I noticed a large modern garage which I later found out to be owned and operated by Ralph Morrison. On passing up Charlotte Street I noticed a large neon sign which read T'ombst-one en-- gravmg, Expertly done. Owned and operated by Fred Dean and Gerald Hardy. Having met some friends, we went to the new modern restaurant own- ed by Rod McCarron... I was surprised to find Mary Lou Naugler and Joyce MacLeod working as waitresses. After dinner, we decided to go to the new Sports Centre owned by James Hickey, to see the auto races, where Haddon McCarthy and Allan Rob- ertson were both out to break the World 's 'Speed Record of 500 mph. Having called a taxi, I was surprised to see it driven by Don Ward. At the Sports Centre I met Charlie MacDonald who was selling hot dogs. We were ushered to our seats by illustrious Norman Sparlingh, During intermission we were de- lightfully entertained by the most. enjoyable quartette of Mike Campbell, Alex MacSween, Hugh MacQueien and John MacKeen. An added attraction was a display of trick horseback riding by Marjorie Smith. After the races we decided to go for supper to the Isle Royale Hotel which was now owned by Ray Peters and managed by James McDonald. We were shown to our places by head waiter Tom Grey. After .supper we were entertained by a floor show starring Theresa McNeil and Mary Garland. On reading the evening paper I noticed that Carl MacDonald and Ray Pierrynowski were now the big guns for Sydney Millilonaires. To finish off the evening we decided to go to the theatre where a picture called Silence Is a Virtue, starring Ron Noble and Elaine Cluett was now playing. At the theatre I met Dorothy Nicholson who was selling tickets and Kay McDermot, Clara Burns and Francis Crossman who were the new usherettes. After the show I decided to go to bed early as I was very tired. I had had a very busy day and after meeting all my old classmates of XIIC, I was pleased to see that they w-ere all doing well for themselves. -..gig-lga... Mr. Glasgow: lim a man of very few words. Mr. Chaiss-on: 441,111 married, too. 64

Let 's walk down this. street and -- My, hasn't that Dunhill factory grown. I hear that Mildred Nymark is a partner in the firm with her husband, Johnny. Well, here's the theatre, so let's drop in and see the 1960 Follies, starring Betty Campbell and Sally lVIaeLe0d and under the direction of Evelyn lVIa0Ritchie. I.sn't the theatre decorated beautifully? I'll bet it's the work of Eunice lVIacKeigan. She's a noted interior decorator, I hear. Let us now travel back across the ocean to the United States. 'We'll patronize the fMe1da. Jones and Goan! MacLeod air lines for the sake of friendship. I hear they have pretty good service, too. Here we've lande-d at the New York Airport. Oh !-my heaven to Bet- sy! If it wasn't Mike Kucyniak who transported us safely across the ocean, with the aid of Stewardess Gertrude Holbeche. We 'll call a taxi now and go to see the zoo. We might see some of our friends there. fDon't get me wrong, now.D Don't forget to tip the cabby. Oh! oh! never mind th-e tip, it 's Verna Gallant, and any woman driver 's not worth the tip, even if she did get us there in one piece. Oh, no! Look who is the keeper of the zoo. It's Camilla Monohan. It must be relative attraction. VVell, there 's Sonia Wroblewski and Blanche Novak, feeding peanuts to the monkeys. They 're both in nurses' uniforms, too. I guess since we 've seen all that we can here, weid 'better make our way back to Canada. My! b-ut isn't thi.s train service slow? Let's buy some popcorn, it looks good. So does the girl who sells it. Why! if it isn't Velma Peters, and therefs Hettie Bannister selling papers. Almost home again. We 're just pulling into Toronto. Who are those two women sitting in the back of that limousine VVhy! it's Ottis Wahont and Thelma Andrews. I se-e they have a good-looking chauffeur. Oh, no! It 's Bill MECQHBGH. QBet his wife d0esn't know about this.D I wonder what Vera Polley is doing now. Well !-speak -of the d-angel. There she is now, and aren't the twins cutie. Now, we'll take the bus back to Sydney. Listen to the driver yell -- Puleeze, Puleeze, move to the rear. That voice sounds familiar also. Why! it 's Alex Hobin. So that 's why they're making the buses four feet higher. I hear that Agnes MacNe-il and Rosaline MacKenzie have taken over Mr. Woodill and Mr. Gillis' jobs as teachers in Sydney Academy. I wonder if Helen Bonavisky ever made her debut in New York. Yes, here it is in to- day 's paper. Well, well! lolok who's coming down the road on the arm of her hand- some and Cyetj unmarried boss. It's Louise Boudreau, Clucky girlb. And isn't Louise Maclntyre lucky? She's got a mansion on Mira Road. I hear she got the money by selling tickets to the we-dding of Lilly Edwards, which, as yet, never took place. Tena Pyke is now a missionary in Glace Bay and June Mortimer is a deaconess. I do believe civilization is spreading. Oh! there 's the first edition of Stella Forde's new book My Flight from Sydney Academy. Looks like itis worth reading. 63
