SENIOR PROPHECY As I docked in New York harbor and walked down the gangplank, who should be shout- ing ny name but a very attractive cadet nurse. I gulped a couple of times and approa- ched her, wondering why she should be interested in me. She smiled, saluted me, and very sweetly said, 'Hi, Admiral Nance!' Then we both started to giggle just like old times, because of course I recognized the nurse to be Betty Swanson, a former class- mate of mine. She had found out that I had been on an inspection tour of a navy fleet and that I was to dock that day so she decided to come down and see if she couldn't catch me when I got in. She wanted to know how I liked my job of being the first woman admiral of the Navy and of course I told her it was a great life and that I simply adored it because I really did. We started talking, as only women can, and dis- covered that we both had a five day leave so we decided to take a short vacation some- where together and see some of the things we used to talk about seeing back in good old 'Wausa High!' I had my usual navy blue 'Limousine' brought around and we went to the Waldorf Astoria to my private quarters. We were just about to enjoy some wonderful peace and quiet when there was a terrible noise and confusion outside. Immediately I summoned the bell hop to inquire about this disturbance. He informed me that the whole city was taking a holiday because the one and only human flying saucer was to be in town making a personal appearance tour. Intrigued by this, Betty and I decided to join the crowd watching the parade. Breathless and excited we stood watching and to our amaze- ment, down the avenue came something that looked exactly like it had come from Mars. Poised on tip toe on top of it was no one else but Marvin Enquist, winking and blowing kisses to all of the beautiful New York models clustered around him. Same old Marvin, he hadn't changed a bit! All of a sudden some one flashed a camera and as she turned around I recognized Geraldine who now was a very snappy looking reporter for the New York Times. As we talked to her she told us that she was going to make a big write- up about Marvin because he was a former classmate. We said good-bye to Geraldine and returned to our hotel apartment. Trying to relax for a few minutes, I picked up the paper and started to read, but scarcely had I gotten started when I came upon a rather humorous article titled 'The Egg and I.' It was written by a Vermont chicken rancher and as I was reading it, the style seemed very familiar. It was no wonder because at the bottom of the page was written ‘Gabby’ (Gaylan Suhr). After reading it, Betty's only comment was, 'I knew Gaylan could never leave those old hens alone for very long!' The next day we decided to do some shopping,so we started out by going to Yonkers Department Store. A very attractive toy display caught my eye so we began to brouse around a bit, when a cute little blonde sales girl asked us if we would care to see any new toy demonstrated and Betty, always ready for a laugh, said we would. The sales girl pressed a button and out came none other than Bill Wiese riding in a Dick Tracy police car out of which sparks flew when he pressed a little button. When he had driven around a bit he came over and talked to us and told us that he was employed by the store to invent toys and give free demonstrations to the public. He seemed awfully happy in his job, (of course, I don't suppose the cute little blonde sales —12—
