CLASS PROPHECY Ten years ago, flying saucers were just rumors but now they are as popular as automobiles. I was feeling very sad and lonesome for my good old school days, so I decided to go visit my old classmates. I got into my saucer and gli- ded away. First I went back to Ulster and landed on the new airport. It was the old parking place-the flats. I got out and walked over to the street where the old school had stood. I came upon a familiar sight-one of Hill's trucks over to Chamberlain's. Carlene Hill had married Charles Chamberlain after finding she didn't like the idea of working. She had two cute little boys, I discovered after she had washed the coal dust off them. Next door lived Joyce Johnson, the former Joyce Wilbur. I would never have known there was a house there for the diapers and baby clothes hanging on the line. Joyce had become a registered nurse before she married, then she settled down to be a darn good nurse to her six small children. When I got ready to leave I discovered my flying saucer would fly no more, so instead of going to see my classmates I settled down for a chat with Carlene and Joyce. Phyllis is living in Florida with her husband, Wally. She is just as devilish as always. She stayed down there after she got out of the Marines, which she joined although Carlene wouldn't go with her. Ina Mae lives in Troy with her three children and guess who her husband is- Bud Kennedy. She is living in a beautiful house, her dream home come true and she is very happy. As you know I didn't see Tom Smith but the girls gave me all the news about him. He is in the Navy and just as much of a flirt as always-a typical sailor with a girl in every port. h Bob Learn unlike Tommy, doesn't have a girl, but a drink in every port. He as been in the Navy since the law was passed drafting eighteen year olds and expects to stay there until they kick him out because of old age. Tom McKee, like the other two, had joined the Navy as he said he would and was doing okay although he got pretty sea sick at first. He is now typing in an office, as Mr. Cooley had predicted, and doing all right. George Lantz is a successful farmer up in Ghent. He is Married to Carmita Williams and has a half dozen boys that are bound to grow up to be just like their daddy. Elvernon had also become a prosperous farmer and had bought up most of Saco. He is still not married but has an eye out for all pretty women, and is waiting for that certain someone. Evert is a night foreman in the I.R. when He comes in to see how his m- en are doing SPLASH ! He yets a pail of water in his face. He just smiles tho- ugh because he did the same thing to his foreman. WCompany, halt.N They are Ra1ph's famous words. The boys hear it day after day. He is a sergent in the infantry. He and Virginia are living in a hotel near his camp. He plans to go to Rochester and work in Eastman Kodak Film Company as soon as he is discharged. Donald Hubbard went to college and soon after he became a second Harry James. I remember how we swooned over him, and to think that now teenagers all over the world really are. After chatting half the day we paused to get our breath and turned the radio on. WStrike three, you're out! Searfoss is striking them out right and left.' Yes, that's our Larry. He is now pitching for the Yanks. He's a good pitcher and he has Loyce rooting for him up in the bleachers. What more could you ask for? We turned the dial. WJohnson swings ---- their it goes---a long drive deep out into center field---going---going---gone.W Joyce told me that she saw in a sports magazine a picture of Larry, Celia and their two husky sons. He is doing well with the Indians and is making a big name for himself. I went down to the garage to get my flying saucer and started home to George, my thirteen children and my job as a hula dancer in the circus.
