.W°W SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY A new melody started again and not being able to recognize its tune, Dale slowly got up to find its name. When he came back, you could tell he was thinking about something and he was saying over to himself-----------Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra. “Ma, doesn’t that remind you of someone,” and instantly she answered, “WThy of course, don’t you remember that singer, he was good,” and then the old Dr.’s eyes lit up with recognition, but Marge rambled on, “He used to make all the girls swoon when we were in high school. Oh, Paw, surely you remember Frankie Sinatra.” But Pop didn’t remember. He was thinking of a guy in school, who sang and made all the girls swoon. Well anyway, he said, “Whether it was Frankie Sinatra or Hallie Kercheval, they both affected the girls in the same way and Hallie still does everytime he sings.” There came a faint click and then a popular band began to play, “What Do They Do on a Rainy Night in Rio?” Immediately Harry Green’s name came to Margie’s memory and she started talking to her husband. “They say that’s a perfect song for Harry. You know, he married one of those Mexican girls and he has 10 kids now. I guess he knows what to do on a rainy night with that many children to take care of. It seemed catchy tunes were the “go” in those days because what should play next but a very cute song called “There Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens.” A sly grin came over the countenances of the two old-timers and they both started talking. But being a gentleman (and a little more reminiscent) Dale gave up and Marge laughingly said. “Remember, how when Doris Trigg’s mother would open the door and think someone was there, and call, ‘Who dat, I say. Who dat out dere?' Do you remember how Doris would call out, ‘There Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens.’ Yes, a couple of cute “chicks' they were then and to think they’re married now and have a brood of their own.” A little click and up came another platter and out came the blaring music of “So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed.” Marge began recalling how that song fitted in with Kathleen Doty and Tom Allen from St. Louis. She thought how he was a little bit round, yet how Kathleen and he were still so devoted. She had even given up her career as a surgeon almost at the peak of her success and now they were both content to putter around in his little grocery store. Much different from that memory was a thought of a boy in Dale’s High School class. George and Janita were both grown now and believe it or not, George was a congressman in Washington, D. C., while Janita worked in the Congressional Library there. There seemed such a lovely couple and almost before he had let the last thought drift from his mind, what should start playing but “I’ll be Down to Get You in a Taxi, Honey.” That was a great song they thought but not half so great as the two kids it reminded them of. Yes Sir! That song was just made for Johnny Garrett and Elsie Carr. John would ask for a date and Elsie would accept (naturally) and as if she didn’t already know, the “old bus” came by about 7:15 and away they’d go. The old Couple’s eyes dimmed with memories when they recalled that now John and Elsie were settled down and little John Jr. said they very thing to petite Colleen Daily (named after her mother.) But things had modernized now. In these times it went — “I’ll Be Down to Get You in the Airplane, Honey,” but neverthless it was all the same. You bet!
