PROPHECY, Continued DONALD McQUEEN and DOYAL RUSSELL now appeared as arithmetic teachers. Because of the trouble their sixth graders had had with fractions, Donald and Doyal were bringing real apple and mince pies to school and dividing them into fourths and sixths and eighths. We really love arithmetic now, the kids all squealed as they licked, their chops. The next of our old schoolmates was LOU STOCKFLETH. She was completely sur- rounded by books and muttering to herself, Words! Words! Words! The big, unpro- nounceable ones are my meat and drink! Another loud roar brought us EUGENE NORTHERNER. He seemed to be standing in the midst of a noisy football throng. Suddenly voices began to shout, We want Northerner! We want Northerner for fullback! As Eugene ducked quickly out of sight, we could hear him say, Wrong number, pals! EDSEL THOMPSON, leading comic at the Star Theater, next appeared. He was dressed as Uncle Ezra and was still spinning those old wisecracks that had knocked us dead twenty-five years ago at the Senior Fall Festival. Hooray for Pretzel-Edsel! the kids all shouted. A loud buzz of machinery brought two more familiar faces before usf They were JAMES ESAREY and MAURICE WOOLSEY, sawmill owners. Their conversation, when we could hear it, was all about the new gym that Winslow was building. We've waited a long time to saw the lumber for that new gym,f' we heard Maurice say, but it's a sure thing now-I think! James nodded his head and answered, What makes thesenmodern kids so pesky? We weren't that way when WE went to school back in 1950! CAROL TAYLOR' next appeared on the screen as an 'enterprisingbbusiness woman. Briefcase in hand she knocked at several doors before we could learn her business. Finally we heard her explain that she was a ceiling expert. A WHAT ? shouted one housewife. Pm a ceiling expert, explained Carol. Back in high school days I learned the dangers of loose plastering and falling ceilings, so now I am in business for my- self. I'l1 be glad to study your ceiling for only five dollars. Then followed a big blur of white, and out stepped MARGARET GLADER, superin- tendent of nurses. She seemed to be reprimanding several student nurses who hovered around her. No, she said emphatically, you certainly are not supposed to spend all of yoar time in Room 215 waiting on that rich young man. I'll nurse him back to health myse . . . Next we saw CHARLES EDRINGTON in his new Arthur Emporium. It was opening day, and he was giving away purple and gold balloons to his young customers. He rubbed his hands together each time the cash register bell rang up ten cents and muttered to himself, F'At last I am a success! MARILYN MILEY next appeared before us in her Campbellville beauty shop. My youth restoration methods, she told a group of old maids fprobably the class of 19531, will either take ten years off your face-or the skin off your face. Who'll be first '? EVELYN HUME, gliding gracefully toward us on roller skates, was the next of our old classmates. She seemed to be conducting a beginner's class in skating. After lecturing her youngsters on the art of falling gracefully, she equipped each one with a landing cushion. DOROTHY DAWSON appeared.next on the screen. She seemed to be living on a cozy little farm in Bowman. A roadside sign informed us that she was an authority on hooked rugs, crochet work, and cucumber pickles. CLEO BRUCE was the last of our old class to appear before us. He was running a gas station at Arthur and giving free peppermint candy to all the girl customers. Needless to say, he was doing a rushing business. That's all, said Bobby. A great class, wasn't it ? The very greatest,'? we all agreed quickly. The very noblest and greatest. Good- bye, Bobby. Your invention will go down in history. 21
