Class Prophecy Suppose we could say Abra-Ka-Dabra, and by some strange, mystic force be pro- iected into the year of our Lord, 1960. Suppose that with a magic Pop and a puff of smoke we suddenly found ourselves to be ten years older, what would we be like? Let's pretend- Slowly and deliberately the class of 1950 repeated the magic words, once, twice, three times! Then-a deafening pop and a giant puff of smoke and presto, they find themselves on a huge magic carpet, being borne through the smoky air at a terrific rate of speed. Gradually the smoke begins to clear, and the carpet, which seems to know exactly where it is going, swoops down to the window level of a building. Why, it's a school and whom do you think we see throwing a Latin book at one of her scholars? Miss .lean Hostetter, who is now a successful teacher of languages. As we watch the bell ring for classes to change and when the door opens, we see a familiar figure strolling down the hall. The magic carpet makes another move and we find ourselves looking into the school gymna- sium. Who is that lady surrounded by Junior and Senior boys? Why it's Faithe Dyson and she's trying to make excuses for giving flank movements on the wrong foot. The way the students are acting we can tell they like Faithe as their Gym teacher. Up, up we swoop again and almost collide with a giant air liner zooming through the clouds. Inside the plane we can see an attractive airline hostess administering to the needs of the passengers. One of our group gives a long, low whistle and as the girl turns around we recognize Clara Chopack. She turns back to adiust the pillow of a very successful looking man. He has the deep tan ofa warm climate and there is a pretty South American senorita at his side to whom he is dictating a letter. We listen in and find out he is an ex- ecutive of Standard Oil Company in South America. He signs the letter Harry Eggert. We almost didn't recognize him because of the moustache. At this point, one of our members become air sick, and luckily a hospital looms into view. We see a nurse and a doctor talking confidentally on the steps and as we draw closer we recognize Ruth Elwine as the nurse. We listen in. Why the doctor is scolding her! He told her that she wasn't supposed to feed the patient that medicine-she was sup- posed to bathe his wounds with it! Those poor patients! Seriously though, we bet Ruth was taking good care of them. While at the hospital, someone decides to make a phone call, but she can't get through to the operator. After investigating, we found Irene Franks, our delinquent operator, holding up the line while she tells her boy-friend off for standing her up the night before. Not wanting to eavesdrop, we move on. We haven't gone far when our stomachs remind us that we are hungry, so we swoop down to a cute, little restaurant in Bethlehem to have lunch. My goodness, there's Luella Moyer, as pretty as ever, surrounded by a group of fellows, who are helping her pick up a tray of broken dishes. As we watch, Luella takes the dishes to the kitchen where a plump cook with a white apron and high hat is putting together a concoction described on the menu as Miller's Atomic Sandwich. Eat it and you're good. Dick Miller of course. Sud- denly we lose our appetites and decide to skip lunch. While gliding along a huge sign attracts our attention. It says Shaffers and Bempkins, Buildings Constructed While You Wait. Knowing that we need some place to sleep, we decide to patronize them. lt is no surprise to us when we find that they did not come in that day-they probably missed the bus or something. However, their secretary, Eudora Keiper, was there. We found Eudora sitting on the Business Manager's lap asking him for more salary. The Business Manager was in a quandry. He only took the job as a favor to Shaffer and Bempkins lncorporated. He stands up and Eudora falls to the floor with a thud! It is then we see his face-you've guessed it, Francis Altemose! Looking down we see a magnificent Dairy-the perfect place for a drink. Down, down, we swoop. Arriving at the front door, we are astounded to see Betty Jane Kuhenbeaker, owner of the dairy, milking cows to the tune of a saxophone. When we had all we wanted to drink, we took off again. We had not gone very far when we saw a crooked house. Not only was it crooked, but it was painted with Polka Dot paint. A sign reads, Homer Argot, Carpenter with the New Look, Larry Dutter, ass't. Our eyes are still hazy from the Polka Dots so we have a difficult time seeing the Fruit Market down the street. The place is busy and Eddie Lewis, Prop., smiles as he hears the cash register ring.
