lelllll llll lllill CLASS ROPHECY The first scene that I see as I look into this tea cup is a beautiful hospital, a very large one. The scene is clearer now: I can see inside the building. There are two doctors in consultation. One I recognize as a surgeon of renown,Dr. Edward Parks. His efficient secretary is about to take dictation. Her name used to be Norma Coughlin. She's married now and I'm not sure what it is. Dr. Park's assistant is none other than the famous Dr. Christiansen. I think they are about to perform a delicate operation on the noted author, Mr. Joseph DaSllva, whose latest book for high school students, 'How to Simplify Homework in Two Easy Lessons,' has been recently judged a best seller. I see two very attractive nurses in attendance. Why,it's Gene- vieve Fox and Carole Rhodesl At the end of one of the corridors I see an office. Phyllis French, head bookkeeper, is talking with Jean Tlbbetts,the receptionist.Just about to leave the office is Frederick Johnston, a smooth, fast-talking salesman for the Ralph Thomas Hospital Supply Co. He has just closed a contract for a large order of supplies. It is visiting hours and someone seems to be in the waiting room. Why 1t's Bob Andrews, the successful hortlculturist, who is famous for the new, much-talked,of French orchid. As I look further I notice a great indus- trial center. There are many tall buildings and people are hurrying to and fro. On one building appears the name M. Cook Piano Company. Entering the office are William Ingalls and John Swan. They have recently returned by plane from a trip to Africa where they have procured many orders from the natives for Cook pianos. In one of the luxurious offices I see Vice-President Braley with his Allan private secretary,M1ldred Smith. At the moment he is talking to Claire Wright,the head accountant of this large firm. Another building which I recognize in this metropolis is the Orpheum Theater. There's a large,not1ceable sign which reads--Feature Today -Ronald Babineau in Person at the Hammond Organ. The picture being shown stars Gerald Barclay,the famous heart breaker,co-starred with Anne Close, beautiful blond of stage and screen. Anne's ex- quisite clothes are fashioned by Betty Means,the noted designer. The ticket line extends for a whole block and people are waiting impatiently to see this performance. Down the block I see a crowd of people waiting to receive free samples of Virginia Parker's Bigger Better Bubble Gum guaranteed to give you bigger, better bubbles. Looking across the street we see a large newspaper office.Inside, behind a door inscribed Norman Kenneally Comic Strip Editor, we see Norm tearing his hair out. In his cartoon he is try- ing to save his the clutches of push him into a we see Charlene with mail, for hero 'Hatchet Nose' Harry from Creepy Clarence who is about to cement mixer. In another office Hatch. Her desk is piled high Charlene has taken over Dorothy Dix's column, 'Advice to the Lovelorn.' A late news flash appears. It really is news, toot George Bonjokian has completed his swim across the English Channel and has broken all previous records. Richard Kellaway, Editor-in-Chief, hurriedly enters the office with orders for two people to cover a fire now going on at Co1eman's Garage. Clayton's newest super-deluxe Cadillac is ablazel He sends Marilyn Griswold and Mary Gagnon, reporters, to get the news. Now I see a huge ballroom. Tonight there's to be a Battle of Music between Scoop McLaughl1n's 'Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar Boys' and Bob Willett's 'Brazilian Brush Cut- ters.' Janet Gray and Ronnie Wright, noted dance team, will be here in person. As I look further I see a magniflcient sum- mer resort owned by Lawrence E. McLaughlin. Re- hotel is Barbara gistered at his luxurious Nichols, noted lecturer. She has just returned from a tour of speaking engagements. Her subject has been 'Loquacity for Women is a Necess1ty.' Also registered here is Barbara Reade, recent winner of a nation-wide typing contest. On the boulevard I see a hotdog stand and business is thriving. I can see whyt The pro- prietress is none other than Joan Pierce,who could talk anybody into buying anythinz.even her hotdogs. Her dogs are sampled by Doc Goldmann. Further along the boulevard is the exclu- sive and fashionable 'Les Quatre Cent Shoppe,' owned and operated by Claire MacDonald and Madeline McCarthy. The shop has recently been redecorated by Rose Harrington. Just leaving is Mrs. Walter Estes,'the former Joanne Brooks, and her two children. They are getting into a beau- tiful new Buick. Joanne and her family live on a magnificent estate nearby. Walking along the beach is Pat McM1llangwho owns her own airline now. Employed as airline hostesses are Laura Benoit and Eleanor Buckley. She is talking to Vivian Gurney, the renowned opera star.They are discussing Charlie Sweeney's new invention, a pocket-size walkle-talkie,wh1ch enable pupils to talk back and forth in study hall without being heard. The scene is changing now. in a large cow pasture. No, no of course not, it's a baseball park and there's a game in pro- gress. It's a contest between the Clunkville Creampuffs, owned by Neal Cross,a renowned busi- ness tycoon,and the Dogpatch Daisy Pickers,owned by Gerald Moffatt, who was also the winner of last year's Indianapolis Speedway Race. These two teams were brought into the American league by baseball's new com issioner, Smiling Dixie Duggan, to provide some stiffer competition for the New York Yankees. It really looks like base- ball's hall of fame down on that field. What an outfield! There's Bob 'Long Ball' Singleton, so- called because he clouts that long ball. And there's Bill 'Ugha' Loud, the last of the Mohl- cans, who threatens to slug that ball right back to the reservation every time he steps up to the plate. It looks like Gerry 'Shotgun' Clancy is sitting this game out on the bench because he's ruined ten good catchers already. Every time he tries to cut a run off at the plate from center- We seem to be
