CLASS PROPHECY Let’s imagine this is New Year’s Eve, 1954. The class of 1944 is having its reunion at the Sandy Burr Country Club in Wayland. BERYL: Hello there, June, how do you like Snap Malloy’s orchestra? JUNIE: Oh, he’s good now. Remember how he used to drum in Mr. Zorn’s English classes? GlNNY : How could I forget it, particularly during public speaking! Look, there’s Mr. and Mrs. Hanney. They were married at the close of the war, but it’s still hard to imagine Bud settled down as a family man. Remember how he used to flirt with all the girls? He surely did roll those big, brown eyes around! Beryl: Hear that crash? That means things are getting done. Weenie Ferranti is backstage get¬ ting ready for the Truth and Consequences show. Remember the one she did in our senior year when David Clapp was the Inebriated Idiot’’? GlNNY: I hear she is head of the Personnel Department down at Cronin’s. Do you suppose her old crony, Miss Dennis, is still there? JUNIE: Could be, though I think Weenie said that she finally resigned. Hey, there’s Sally Fos¬ ter and Jack Fradd just back from Egypt where they’ve been digging up those queer things Miss Spear used to tell us about in ancient history class. More fun! ! Beryl: How well I remember. Do you know that Lu Horne is now a famous aviatrix and is flying back and forth from Mars in those contraptions we used to read about in those uneduca- tional comic books? (Isn’t that right, teachers?) All those years of struggling in Miss Green’s math classes were of use after all. GlNNY : Remember all those oral talks David Clapp used to give on airplanes, airplanes, and more airplanes? His ambition certainly did come true, didn’t it? He’s now chief engineer at the Douglas Aircraft Plant. He is still chasing Koonie around, only now in his new-fangled plane without wings. JUNIE: Will you ever forget all the chasing” he did at Discussion Club? I haven’t seen the Burkes yet, have you? They said they’d be here about 10:30 and it’s nearly that now—but you know Nancy and her ability to be on time! Where are they living now, Beryl? BERYL: I don’t know, but I hear they’ve got a darling house, and George, Junior, is so-o-o cute! ! GlNNY: Martha Sherman won’t be here tonight so she wanted us to say Hi” to the gang for her. She’s a math and chemistry professor and she just finished writing Volume III of Sherman’s Super-Duper Math Book. JUNIE: Let’s see, who else was in our class? Oh yes, my old pal, Cousin Harold. Do you sup¬ pose that plumbing business will ever run out of Colpitts? GlNNY: It doesn’t look very possible, Junie. Look, Snap’s waving his baton; it must be time for another song. Georgia Ragan is his featured singer. Do you suppose she’ll do that Drumboogie” number that Snap and Herbie Whitcombe used to do? Beryl: I hope so! Herbie left us to join the Navy in the junior year, but because he couldn’t keep away from us Westonites—or do I mean Waylandites?—he’s back in town. GlNNY: Look who’s dancing over there. Koonie and that New York publisher she introduced us to. Wasn’t her book on the best seller list this month? JUNIE: I’m pretty sure it was, and last month’s list, too! Oh look, there’s Charlie Briggs danc¬ ing over there. Can you imagine that, after the great orations he used to give against such a frivolous pastime in English 111A! What are we coming to? 18
