JUNE CLASS PROPHECY— Continued Nelson Sturdivant and Sidney Walton are now prohib- ition officers. Sons of P. H. S., we hope you may succeed in finding- what you look for. Behold! There is “Jack” Drewry, justice of the peace, indicting George Bernard for writing the worst hand in this whole universe. “Dot” Young was seen just eating up a Latin book. Horace is now her love. Aileen Small writes poetry by the volume for a group of lovely idlers who attracted my attention. These were Margaret Andrews, Virginia Bulifant, Susie Downing, Es- ther Drake, Frances Smithson and Marguerite Tench. Suddenly, I felt someone punch my arm, and it was no love-tap either. “Say, sister, you’ve been in here all day. We’re closing up.” It was the guide of the tunnels. “Aw, become parched and explode,” I mumbled quietly under my breath and followed him out. Mr. Miller, you have always been of the greatest as- sistance to every Senior Class; but, oh, how you helped it out this time! The class of ’29 thanks you. — Virginia Perry. — Gl—

JUNE CLASS PROPHECY— Continued Meade Stith, having attended V. M. I., is now Secretary of War. Meade ' s for world peace, we know. He never quar- reled about anything in his life. Albert McCants is manager for the Boston Braves and is quite a hustler. Dorothy Perkins, the answer to a “Teacher’s Prayer,” has at last achieved her highest ambition and is Civics teacher at high school. Louise Sadler is a famous jockey. She won the last Kentucky Derby, according to a medal she wears. “Dick” Robertson is a minister. Last Tuesday he made a talk in assembly. Sufficient to say, he didn’t need a stop watch. “Dick,” you’re a good product of P. H. S. I pinched myself to be sure if I was quite all there, because there were Annie Gay and “Bee” Kaplan just chat- ting away and using the most atrocious English. Can you imagine that? Mary Lelia Wells has at last succeeded in driving a car and, at the same time, can speak to her acquaintances. Congratulations, old dear, but please don’t try to be an aviatrix! We’re afraid you’ll “snoot” us all the time. Are you sure that’s ‘‘Sassy” Beachy teaching in a school for the deaf and dumb? “Sassy,” they can’t even hear you. What do you do? Keep a parrot for company? Maud Perkinson, Blanche Pride, Virginia Lamb and Catherine Rudy are shown by the crystal as the famous “Flying Four.” They make their balloon ascension to- morrow, competing for the endurance prize. Virginia Smoot is engaged. We wonder if he’s a saint. “Joe” Manson is now a member of a secret Corsican organization, having received the idea from Mr. Freas’s ti- rade on “Colomba.” Blood and thunder! We hope he won’t get revenge for any of the wrongs done him while at P. H. S. George Edmunds is sponsoring a Hi-Y club for girls. Oh, man! On with the idea! — 60 —
