PROPHECY After an exhausting day, how good the cool sheets felt as I snuggled down into them! The moonlight came streaming in through my win- dow: and as I turned my head, I suddenly caught sight of the calendar hanging on the wall. The date was May 30, 1967. Beside it hung my high school diploma. Oh, what memories it brings back! It was just about this time twenty years ago that my classmates and I were graduating. Golly, who could have prophesied then what we would be doing to- day-twenty years later? Let's see now, what has become of all of us? Oh yes----- Dick Yackee is the proprietor of a plush peanut stand in front of Akron's Bubble Bar. With every bag of peanuts he sells, he bursts forth with an aria from Figaro to please his exclusive clientele.

Tom Witschey has succeeded Maurice Evans as the world's greatest Shakespearean actor. Mary Long caused quite a stir yesterday when she celebrated her twentieth wedding anniversary by turning six cartwheels and simultaneously twirling her baton on top of the Injector smoke stack. Bill Livingston and Iack Lahr finally emerged from their mountain retreat where they had spent years of ceaseless toil, hardships, and struggle perfecting a mechanism designed to convey them to the sun. Eventually the great day of their take-off arrived. lust as everything was ready to go, lack became terribly befuddled and pushed the wrong button. Instead of sailing to the sun the contraption went zooming head- long into the earth. Unofficial reports say that the pair came out in China and that they are now house guests of Chiang Kai-Shek. Edna Mae Overholt is skipper of the luxury liner, The Cleopatra, making pleasure voyages up the River Styx. Lawrence Busch and Carl Few, outstanding social workers, are now embroidering pink and blue posies on bonnets for the Old Ladies' Home. Reginald Earley has retired to a ranch in Hametown where 'he will spend the rest of his life raising prize-winning squash for the Medina County Fair. Glenna Moyer has recently been seen in the movie short, How to Exterminate Undesir- able Insects. Her right hand is shown wielding a fly swatter that massacres two unfortunate flies. This experience has given Glenna great hope for future movie roles. Stanley Bowers, known as the Fearless Deathdodger, is testing kiddie cars at Wolf's. The world-renowned adventuresses, Darlene Pike and Betty Earnest, had their outrigger ca- noe completely overhauled in preparation for the whaling expedition they plan to make up the Euphrates River. The bobby soxers are really being sent by Al Dutt's playing of a hot ear trumpet in the Salvation Army Band. Marcene Blair is rumored to be the brains behind the unscrupulous River Rats gang, which specializes in smuggling hot clams across the border. The nimble and ever-so -graceful ballet dancer, Bob Griner, and his equally lovely part- ner, Mary McMillen, head the famous French Ballet Troupe. They are said to be sensational. Betty Lou Koppelberger, the steeplejack, takes in washings on the side in order to sup- port her pet rhinoceros and two toads. Don Fraley has just been notified by officials of the A 6- P firm that he, and he alone, will have complete jurisdiction over the vegetable bin.

Christine Graham is manufacturing jumping ropes for Mexican jumping beans. Carol Transue and Betty Eckhoff have per- fected a cheap process whereby the pages of school books can be photographed on microfilm and then read through a miniature viewer while taking a test. They are expected to make mil- lions on this project. Carl Simcox, the iceman, has been offered numerous executive positions in many compan- ies: but Carl always declines, saying he can have a lot more fun being just the man who comes around. Carla Rae Bolich went through the wringer last week. After the ordeal, she gleefully ex- claimed she'd always wanted a pencil-slim torso anyhow. She is reported to have added six inches to her height through this transaction. Sir Richard Flath recently submitted his mem- Dick's Hardware, Inc. 27
