SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Hastily scribbling a note of last minute items to the children, I looked ahead with anticipation to seeing the old gang again. This reunion of the Class of 194? in Australia was a splendid idea. As usual I had trouble getting the helicopter started but eventually I was on my way. Jt seemed rather foolish to go by way of Europe but my old friend VIOLET DIXON was determined we would see the Taj Mahal by daylight and this seemed like as good a chance as any. On my way across the continent I am to pick her up in New York. Well, here we are already. Goodness her job as sound effects for the Laugh Provoking Chiclets Program seems to agree with her. Such a cheery face. I certainly caught up on my gossip. Her old roommate SHEILA BAMFORD, who had planned a music career, didn ' t get along so well — she is now carrying music copies from office to office in The Down and Out Songwriters Co. By this time France is just about in sight and the first thing we see on land is a red flag of distress, but drawing closer we recognized one of DOUGLAS GOR- MAN ' S red stockings. Despite the fact that she had diligently trained as a nurse, bright colours still rated high. With her ELAINE KAUMEYER was studiously cramming for Commerce exams. After all eighteen years aren ' t too many to get through a four-year course. Circling over Paris whom should we see but EDITH BEACH. Her five children were all in good hands and with a sigh of relief she set out to pick up CORINNE I ' age Tioenty

I BEDORE, England ' s most prominent woman politician. Her office as advocate for women suffrage on Mars has brought her world-wide fame. Paris was not long behind when we began to get hungry. No wonder — it was time for dinner. We couldn ' t have picked a lovelier town than Vienna. On the way to the restaurant whom did we see on the corner but of all people — MARJORIE POWELL — still shining shoes, this time in an endeavour to earn her fare to Australia for the reunion. On hearing her plight it occurred to us that RUTH TAYLOR intended to stop here later and she was travelling alone. Her brief business career had left her wealthy. Marjorie could get a ride with her. While we were dining we remembered that GRACE HILL lived a few blocks down the street. We decided we might as well drop in and see the new home she had been raving about. When we arrived she was all in a dither trying to decide which glass dress to wear. It was on the way back that we noticed a general store with a familiar name. Well what do you know? ELIZABETH PIATTI had set up a branch of her father ' s business. We were on our way again when someone honked their horn and on looking out who should go scooting past but AUDREY SHAW and as we expected there was Bluebell in her trailer ga2;ing contentedly about the sky. Even though she didn ' t make a success , as a Vet. she still has Bluebell. On the horizon we see the Taj Mahal. It is here that we learned that our friend MARGARET BAETZ is now chief songstress for the new Crown Prince of India. We also heard that JACKIE BRAYFIELD and LORRAINE CAUTHERS, un- successful in civili2;ed life, are teaching the alphabet to African natives. Imagine those two being missionaries! As we planned, we landed in Australia in the late afternoon. At the landing field we came upon PHYLTSS DICKENS, broken-hearted on leaving her husband even for just a day, but she was resigned to the fact that she would have to do it some day. The next person we met was LOUISE COLE and her mischievous youngster whom she couldn ' t afford to leave at home. As we burst into the hotel we encountered a conscientious and enthusiastic re- porter — MARION MACLEOD, representing her paper, the Timbuctoo Gazette. Trailing along behind her was a fellow newshawk — VIRGINIA RICHARDS, foreign correspondent on Jupiter. AUDREY BURWASH, still wearing her silver wings, was a pleasant sight until we heard she was in charge of the food. Someone seemed to think that just because she was Head Dietician of the Chemical Foods Corporation she was suited for the ticklish job of feeding her old classmates. Glancing around we were attracted by FAY FOUND ' S worried eyes. It turned out that she had forgotten to remind someone to feed the chickens. That was the only job her wealthy and efficient husband left in her hands. On our suggestion she headed for the door to phone home and in her hurry bumped into a newcomer. Well if It isn ' t SHIRLEY GRIFFITH. With oil paint on her cheek and brush still in her hand she called her greetings. As always her heart is in her art. Just as MARION KIRK was vividly describing her Slalom which she had at last accomplished in skiing (ever since she left school she has made Switzerland her home) in came JOAN THOMPSON and FAITH REEDS. Joan who is now teach- ing kindergarten in China had been patiently waiting for Faith who is conducting an O.L.C. group on political affairs of foreign countries and had had trouble finding accommodation for them. They were just in time for the entertainment. GENE CURRY, who had taken the afternoon off from her four-day tour around the world, sang for us. My what a voice! Another great songbird WINONA DEN YES of the Metropolitan Opera brought forth cheers and applause for her beautiful rendition of the Five O ' Clock Jump. All in all it turned out to be a very pleasant occasion. Page Twenty-one
