SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY This time it was Dale who turned to his wife and gave her one of those long, sly grins. She said, “Dale, now you get all those silly ideas out of your head about Jim Allen. You know, I only went with him a couple of times and anyway, remember how crazy he was about Missouri? He used to tell the boys all about Missouri and Tennessee. Oh well, since he lives down there now’ in the foot hills of the Ozarks, she should be happy. I suppose he plants his own tobacco. We must go dowm there some time. I’m sure we’d both enjoy it.” And speaking of enjoyment, the ever beautiful “Love Letters” came forth with its lovely rhythm. Having Eileen Stevens as a part of her gang” in high school, had given Marge a chance to know her and what other song she wondered now, could suit Eileen any better than “Love Letters.” She and Harold Smith used to sit in the library and write notes, (which were only the beginning for the later love letters) but had evidentally proven fruitful because now' they have both become famous writers. Harold’s latest book was “How to Get Along wih a Redhead” and Eileen’s w'as “How to Influence Strangers.” It seemed they were quite popular all over the United States, and speaking of popularity back in the 40’s, “Oh, But I Do” took a firm place on the “Hit Parade.” It was queer, Dale thought, that Dolores Beldon and Glen Harpster had bioken up” and it seemed they were both destined to lead an altogether different life w'hen suddenly they started going together again. And it was rumored that when Glen finally told Dolores he loved her and asked her if she loved him, her only reply was — “Oh, But I Do,” and only wanting to be sure he asked her again and this time, she said very emphatically — “You think I don’t love you — On, but I do.” And so you see. I guess that settled that. Joyce Jones immediately popped into Marge’s mind when “Guilty” began to play. Joyce was quite the girl in high school because as you know there were many men in her life. Perhaps the most outstanding of all was her Senior year. She seemed to like them all and then suddenly out of the blue came the boy of all boys — Darrell Rothrock. He knew about the multitude of boys that had come to see Joyce and he knew she had been quite infatuated with a few of them, but he believed this was true love and anyone else might think so too. When they were sitting on the davenport so very comfortably, he asked her if she loved this boy, and then inquired about that boy, and kept on probing her with questions and everytime, her answer was the same, “No, I don’t like any of those boys.” And then in earnest he inquired how she felt towards him and Joyce turned her head, looked deep into his blue eyes and said, “Oh. Darrell, I love you. I’m ‘Guilty.’ ” The beautiful strains of “Heartaches” was playing now and Dale looked at Marge and Marge looked at Dale and then they turned solemnly and bowed their heads towards Charleston. How Jim Buckley had gone to Charleston almost every night was a legend now’ among his and Ruth’s children. He had gone so faithfully he had given his ring up so willingly, and then it was all over. They were through — what a heartache for the both of them! What misery! What despair! Then came forth Mr. Hartsell with his never ending aid and said, “Do be careful in what you say to her. Girl’s hearts are so easily broken, so Jim w'as careful and he took his time until finally one night he dashed over to Mr. Hartsell’s and said very joyously, “She said ‘yes’, she said ‘yes,’ ” and so, to please all of you who like to hear a story end happily, gone was the heartaches, gone was the misery, gone was all the worry, but now' thought Marge, I sure would hate to have those 9 grandchildren in my house all at once.
