SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Betty Morrison’s name was brought to the attention of the old couple by “Seems Like Old Times.” During the war, it brought many disasters here at home. It created the housing shortage, it caused food rationing, and it took Betty’s boyfriend away. She had no alternative but to sit at home (and go with other boys.) When Tommy came marching home again, she had all these other boys that were strictly war surplus. Finally, however, things came out in the end. He bought her a watch for Christmas when they were young, so now they sit at home and watch - • - the time go by. Jerome Kern’s “Stormy Weather” brought memories of Margie Wilson to mind, and to break the silence, Marge laughed and began, “How truthful that song is. Margie’s high school days were filled with Storm y weather. Don seemed to enter in all of the time. If it wasn’t a Saturday night date, it was a gala R. O. T. C. Ball. Of course, fair weather prevailed at times when Ray Carnine was around, but it sure looked like Margie liked “Stormy Weather” best. She must have because now that Don is around, all the storms have ceased and now they both live a nice quiet life traveling over the United States. You see, they both star in an arobatic show. Margie is the star of an act where she is featured to hang on by the teeth and slide down a huge cable to a certain place, then drop into a huge net. “I guess,” said Dale, “it’s quite spectacular.” Margie gave him the “eye” and said, “You ought to know-. You’ve seen it enough.” Disregarding this little outburst of feeling from Dale, the juke box paid no heed and just went on playing as usual but this time a new song “Too Many Times” blared forth. With the new song came new memories. Betty June Tucker was brought to mind and Margie began musing, “Hummn, Betty had done it just too many times. She had disregarded her conscience and let her heart take its course. She should have known that Dean would catch up with her sometime. And Marge, knowing after all these years how it had all turned out, sighed peacefully to think of them now. Betty was the World’s Champion Typist and Dean acted as her coach. She would be on the stage and he would sit down in the audience looking at her and giving her comfort, and then they would go to their little home and he would prepare the dinner (so as to protect Betty’s hands), and they seemed to be too, too happy together. Bu presumably, Dean enjoyed his own cooking and Betty didn’t. She was so tiny the last time I saw her and really, he was immense! But anyway, who likes to talk of unimportant things like that when you can always talk of Earl Linkhart. The next song, “All By Myself” certainly brought a flood of ideas to Dale’s old gray head. Earl hadn’t cared for any girls in his day. He chose to be by himself or with some other boys. Anyway Dale thought, “I blame his not caring for any girls in his sophomore year. He was crazy about one girl then, and something happened to the whole situation, which mixed it up tremendously. Another boy entered the picture. The old eternal triangle, you know, and Earl, being the gentleman stepped out. ‘All By Myself’ — What a fitting song!”

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Quite different from “All By Myself” was a pretty song “Thanks For Being An Angel” and yet. it brought to mind a boy who had no desire, just like Earl, to go with anyone until the girl came along. “And 1 remarked Dale, “I bet he prays His thanks every night for sending Eleanor when He did.” “And,” added Marge, “as if that song doesn’t make everything too heavenly, what should happen to Warren but that he becomes a minister. He’s quite a good one too.” Then Dale said, “We made a wise choice when we contracted him for our church.” “And just like a woman too,” Marge added, “Yes, and Eleanor has made the cutest home out of the parsonage.” “Oh, my goodness,” started Dale, but he was interrupted by “He’s My Guy.” “And what a guy!” reminisced Marge. “No wonder Phyllis Nolte was so crazy about him in High School.” “And college too for that matter,” added Dale. “Yes,” continued Marge, “he was certainly her guy.” “And still is for that matter,” interrupted Dale. Marge, not liking these interruptions, but wanting to keep on talking acted as if she had never heard her husband. She laughed to herself thinking of how Monty was Windsor’s chief fireman and of his wife Phyllis. “It was a most amazing sight to all the old women in Windsor to see Phyllis perched upon the fire-truck with 3 children hanging on her every which way and most amazing of all was Phyllis’ playing the French horn when the siren was broken and lately it seemed some conspirators always managed to see that it was broken, fire or no fire. They certainly made some fast trips to some fires,” mused Marge, and before she had time to think of any more class notes there was a very definite click and it seemed that was all. Old Dr. Dale got up to see if all of their musical memories were ended and after looking at the juke box, he turned around and said, “Here’s one they didn’t play.” Out of curiousity, Marge asked what the song was and Dale turned and gazed long at the occupants of the drug store, the old juke box, and thought of all the kids, and then looked at his wife and with tears in his faded eyes answered, “It was ‘Bless You’.”
