CLASS PROPHECY (continued) then saw what was causing it. Ed Saville had passed out from exertion. Mr. Heisch-man, spry as ever in his old age, was searching madly around for someone to take Ed s place. He called frantically for Harry Miller, but Harry was nowhere to be seen. George Simeon (Admiral Simeon of the United States Navy) said that Harry was at home. It seems that Harry and his partner Sammy Miller, co-authors of Miller Sisters Advice to the Lovelorn. were answering their many letters. Monsieur du Bette (Jim Betts, you remember), famous designer of women's hats, offered Mr. Heischman his streamlined car which was designed by Ruth Fitz-Henry and Jim Jackson. Jim said that his two chauffeurs, Bill Leonard, ex-tennis champ of the world, and Ralph Baker, former president of the United States, would be glad to pick up Harry and bring him in time for the second half. The car was in good condition because it had just been serviced and filled with Fallon's Fiery Fuel at the deMey-lsaly Service Station. Well, Marilyn, with Harry in the game and the rest of the team still raring to go, the game looked like a cinch as the second half began. The crowd really went wild as the team piled up point after point against Bexley. Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream rang through the gym. I recognized the voice of Doris Young, the glamorous John Power-field model. She screamed and then collapsed. I ran to the exit as quickly as I could to find a doctor. In the doorway, whom should I bump into but Betty Renneckar, also a beautiful John Powerfield model and bitter rival of Doris. She was accompanied by her two body guards, Guilford Gerlach and John Sanborn. At once I saw why Doris had so suddenly screamed. Betty was wearing the exact duplicate of Doris' red dress. The shock of seeing her supposedly exclusive model on her bitterest rival was too much for Doris. I heard later, Marilyn, that it was those Grinstead brothers that caused it all. Jim, you know, designs Doris' clothes and Jack designs Betty's. I guess when they went home Christmas they got their brief cases mixed. Too bad. wasn’t it? Before I could find a doctor, Stout's Super Ambulance Service was on the job. Honestly, I haven't seen so much white since Joan Barcroft's wedding. She married a street-cleaner named Smith, you remember. Stretcher bearers Redding, Sinclair, and Setzer put Doris' limp form on a stretcher. With the assistance of the women's division (Icenhower, Gillespie, Olpin, and Seiller), who cleared the way, the boys carried Doris to North Hall. There she was treated for shock by Dr. George E. (Sew-Em-Up) Landis, Jr. The doctor was ably assisted by his two faithful nurses. Mary Jane Charles and Marilyn Darnell. I noticed Eddie Binder snapping pictures of the crowd to be used in the late edition of the local paper, Carlile's Current Chatter, on which he is a reporter. When the excitement was over. I started down stairs to see the rest of the game. Suddenly, I bumped headlong into Dick Starkey, the ace detective. He said that someone had reported a suspicious character sitting on the landing and he had to investigate. We found that the suspicious person was none other than Charlotte Exline, baby expert. It seems that she got a new idea for a baby carriage from Johnny Harris’ skates. Oh! I forgot to tell you about Johnny. Well, right in the middle of the first half, Johnny came in and rollerskated right across the gym. He went to the orchestra pit and sat there for the rest of the game. Imagine! Johnny's the world’s best skater, you know. He never takes off his skates, even when he's sleeping. That just shows you how much some of our old friends have changed, Marilyn. But, let me finish telling you about Charlotte. She told me confidentially, after Dick had left, that she was in the corner because she was deathly afraid of crowds. Charlotte and I had quite a nice talk about old times. She told me, too, that there were several alumni who wanted to go to the game but were detained. It seems that Virginia Beale, of Beale's Beautiful Bracelets, made from Virginia's own fingernails, Nancy (continued on peg© twenty-one) page sixteen
