CLASS PROPHECY Having been required, by mandate ofthe class of 1948, to forecast the future ofthese illustrious seniors, Ienlistea the aid of the Three Fates, goddesses, who preside over the destinies of human beings. nFair Fates,H I imploredg Nye who preside over the destinies of the class of 1948, wilt thou not reveal to me the happenings of o1Jr future years? It is decreed that I must know.H HNOt to mere mortals do we divulge these secrets of Life, but as this request comes from an excellent class, let us grant them a know- ledge of the future.u I now reveal toyou the interesting glimpse of the future given me by the Fates when they placed me in the world 20 years hence. I was first taken to the Metropolitan Opera House where our old friend, June Ryburn, was making her debut as the starcf the well-known opera HCarmen.H A look around the theatre gave me a glimpse of the re- cently appointed Ambassador to Argentina, our old school mate, Etta Marie Miller. As I was leaving duaopera I met another'of our classmates, Charlene Gross, who is now the executive director of the Pearson Laundry Inc. I went out into the street, hailed a taxbi and who should be the driver but Frances King, remembering Frances from high school days I had no doubt but that I would reach my destination safely. As we drove I talked to Frances about the good old days we had spent at old Welch High and she told me of the success ofJoe Avis Gallop as the new movie queen of Hollywood. By this time we had reached my hotel and as I went in to register for a room, I found the desk clerk to be Irene Morton. I went to my room and as I settled myself for the night I discovered that the water faucet was leaking. I called Irene, reported the leak to her, and in a short while a plumber, Marietta York, by name, cans to make the necessary repairs. The next morning I left the hotel and set out on my business for the day. My business took me to the First National Bank, where I was greeted by the president of the bank, Edsel Beaty. Edsel took n1e through his bank and I was surprised to find Barbara James acting as chief bookkeeper of the establishment. Barbara told me about Erma Oney who carries alarge account with the bank. It seems Erma is a rickiwidow now. I left the bank and as I started across the streetI was struck by a passing car, I picked myself up ani except for a few scratcheg found I was unhurt. The driver ofthe car,IUEne Cleveland, insisted mutaking me to the hos ital to be sure nothing was amlss. Irene told me that she was now a farmer's wife and was visiting in dw city fm'afew days. We arrived at the hospital and the nurse hicharge, Marilyn Whitcmnb, took us into the office ofDr. Colleen Cottengim. Colleen assned1m1mat I was still all in one piece. She told me that another member of our class had joined the ranks of women hmwhite, Verla Armstrong had become a painless dentist.
