CLASS PROPHESY Time: 10 years hence Place: New York City ' The office of Dr. Mabel Brinker, a very successful pnmician Dr. Brinker is unmarried much to our surprise. The ambulance has just brought in a crash victim. He is in a delirious state of coma. As we look at the victim we see that it is our old class- mate, Merril Shaffer. Merril is a famous pilot having made many round the world flights. His latest plane, the fastest in the world was designed and built by Reid Mayo who is making qu e a name for himself in aeronautios. Reid started out as a profesmond boxer but after a few times of looking up at his opponent from the floor he decided to try another line. Now Merril is out of his head completely and is talkingdnout Governor Merlin John Brinker who is starting his fourth term as Governor of the Buckeye State. Althovgh he seems to have great courage in asking the legislature for additional funds, it seems that is all the farther his courage goes ashe still is going steady.' Talking of Merlin seems to have brought Shaf's wandering mind to Marilyn Emmitt. Yes, it is still Irndtt, Marilyn has got- ten as far as private secretary to the Governor. It seems as if she ought to take advantage of Leap Year pretty soon, Now, the patient is talking about the former June Phillips. June has a half hour over the N. B. C. Blue Network that .'she devotes to singing. June has become the second Kate Smith of the air. Off the air, June spends her time taking care of her family. The efforts of Doc. Brinker to quiet Merril seem to donn good for he is getting more delirious all the time. He is talk- ing so fast it is quite hard to catch what he says. I think he said something about Jane McDowell. Jane as you know,isno longer Jane McDowell, but Mrs. Kenneth Layman. Jane informed me when we were in high school that she was planning on being an old maid but she forgot that in no time at all. Merril is now talking about Doris Gross who has just set a new world's record in typing. She has made 250 words a minute. She also runs a typing school in which her students average 100 words a minute. Shaf's talk switches to Marcella Dahms. Marcella startedout as a waitress in a restaurant and has worked her way up to the ownership of 5 restaurants in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo and Scotch Ridge. Rumors have it that she is worth a quarter of a million.
