Senior Prophecy One beautiful spring day in the year of 1949, I met a funny little man who promised to show me what my classmates of Williamsport High School would be doing ten years hence. I eagerly departed with him on his Magic Carpet to the Land-of-Make-Believe. We flew over a great city and landed in front of the imposing oilice of the Le Compte Bugle. Stepping into the ofiice we met Frank Taylor, the editor, and his reporter, Barbara Mathews. In rushed the busy gossip columnist with the exciting news that the famous Elsie Kochel was having her charming estate redecorat- ed by Betty Jaynes, who owned an exclusive shop on Cherry Blossom Lane. Elsie is hoping to im- press the muchvsought-after Duke of Avoyelles of France, when he visits her this summer. Leaving our friends, we soon came to the B. 8z B. Burger Basket, which we found to our joy was owned and operated by James Bratton and Charles Banning. While lunching there, I recog- nized a smartly dressed lady as the former Bar- bara Beason. I waved to her and she left her husband and two children and rushed over to our small table near an open window. I learned that she was the wife of the distinguished pro- fessor of Romance Languages in a college in the South. She related to me that Melvin Hines and Juanita Barwick were among the faculty mem- bers of Miami High School in Florida. I also learned that Donald VanLaere was most success- fully operating a large rabbit farm in Texas and Dwain Thompson had a life-long contract to raise lettuce for his rabbits. ' As my queer little guide was becoming im- patient to depart, I hurried with him on our Flying Carpet to another strange area. In flying over Arizona, we saw a beautifully situated ranch with the sign Pat's Patio on the gate post. We found it belonged to Patricia Balser and that Ernest tErniel Slauter was the foreman. Vacationing there were Billy Sam Haynes, Monty Crumley, Olympic champs, and their trainer and coach, Bill Penick. Our next stop was Hollywood, California, where we attended the premier of Our Miss Fields written and directed by Messrs. Billie A. iii Garriott and Ronald Crane. The stars of this movie were Lillian . Kirts and Robert Melton. Madame tEleanorl House was the designer of clothes for this and many other outstanding shows. Further down the street we saw the res- taurant Trott in for Moore, which needless to say was owned by Leland Trott and his wife, the former Norma Moore. At the Palace Theatre we saw The Capture of The Thin Man, in which Bob Miles was playing the role of the Thin Man. We were not amazed to find that Jim Pugh was chief of the F. B. I. We attended the next day a spectacular cele- bration and ceremony of the new Trans-Pacific Bridge built and constructed by two of America's outstanding engineers-Tom Ringer and Marion Traviolia. The President of Columbia University, Richard Cole, was in attendance and presented the medals to the engineers. Wayne Crowder, Ambassador to Russia, and his competent secre- tary, Miss Norma Davis, were also present for the ceremony. Wayne reported seeing Martha Ann Hawley and her traveling companion Mary Lou Kennedy in Moscow. Starting homeward, we passed over Kansas and for a few hours visited there with Everett Lohmeyer and Earl Haddock, who were wealthy wheat farmers. In Chicago I discovered that Leona Sipes has the leading role in a light opera, Madam Fu Fu, under the direction of Lee Perry. Louise Newton was Miss Sipes' secretary. While in the Windy City, I learned that George Reitz was a pilot for the Bingy Airlines and that Doris Gaskill was a stewardess. Margaret McIntosh financed this particular airline with money that had been given to her by one of her wealthy patients, Flora Mar- tin. Flora had made her money in dealing in cosmetics. On our last leg of this interesting journey, we stopped at Pence, Indiana, where I visited for an hour with Marjorie York and Betty Bush, who ran The Haven, a home for old maids and bachelors. -ROSEMARY MARTIN
