C. 3 T IS the 17th day of June, 1920, and the graduting class of the Alameda High School is seated in the parlors of Madame Fortuna, the famous clairvoyant. The room is dark save in the center where the fortune teller is bending over a shining crystal. Suddenly the clear glass becomes clouded as a hushed silence ensues, and the letters 1920 are seen plainly written in the ball. The scene changes, and in the crystal appears a flower bedecked stage on which stands about 65 girls and boys, each proudly holding something which looks very much like a diploma tied with gold and white ribbon. Again the ball becomes clouded, and this time in its midst is written 1935. Then is seen: A village in Timbuctoo entirely peopled by brown-skinned natives. A second glance shows a group of young cannibals being taught to sing psalms and read the Bible by a fair haired missionary, whom we recognize as none other than Everett Thompson. Next is seen the glittering lights of a Broadway theatre, the sign boards ot' which read, The Divine Edwina, America's Sarah Bernhardt. Miss Osborne's 63rd week. Standing room only. Elwood Patterson, a noted traveling salesman, proudly displays his famous cold cream whose label says, Get rid of your freckles. Don't look like a turkey's egg. Use Patterson's cold cream. Helen Lippardt, having just inherited a million dol- lars, is his best customer, and buys two tons annually. Hazel Haefner is seen busily teaching little Sandwiches in the Sandwich Islands to shimmy. She is assisted by Leland Wade, who teaches the latest thing in hand ball. Stewart Menzies owns a most popular shop in Emeryville. Its sign is known to everyone, and consists of three gilded balls. Now a huge dance hall is beheld whose sign reads, The New Arcadia-under management of Kenneth Ward. Step in and hear our S100-a-night-all-girl-jazz-band. Stepping in who is seen but Ida Ross at the piano, Marion Martens blowing vigor- ously on a sax, Ermyll Hunter fussing over a broken string on her banjo, Helen Fromme beating the drums to death, while Thelma Burg plays coquettishly on a time-worn gazook. Some jazz band! Class Prophecy G b g Q f U I U Page Seventeen

Esther Lang is busily engaged in raising forget-me-nots on the banks of the Amazon. Esther says it pays, too, because Norman Coryell, who is always appropri- ately sending bouquets to certain young ladies, buys all she grows. George Clark is a sailor. He has gone as far north as Alaska, and feels sure he could have discovered the North Pole if Peary hadn't beaten him to it. ' Ruth Butterfield is the most popular school teacher -in the United States. She doesn't believe in homework, never gives below a 2, -and demands no admit slips.

Special courses in How to Obtain Young Men's Fraternity Pins, How to Vamp Properly, and How to Bluff in History. i Tom Halcrow is the originator of an automobile which has proved even better liked than the one-time popular Ford. It is now correct to drive a Tin Tommy rather than an Elizabeth. Lucile Ehrenberg is private secretary to one of Philadelphia's most famous bankers. She is known as having the most beautiful sweaters that side of the Rocky Mountains. ' Robert Kirkwood, Alexander Lowe, Charles Hopps and Wendall Gammell formed a corporation with which they intend to become the Standard Oil's only rivals. , Marie Onions is in Manchuria leading a votes for women campaign., As yet we haven't heard of women's suffrage from that region, but where there's life there's hope, and Marie is surely lively. Gordon Heid is happily married. At this time he is the proud possessor of the tennis championship of Bay Farm Island. Edith Birbeck's dazzling smile is seen on the back of every magazine. The words under the picture assure you that Colgatets is the only toothpaste. Don Baron is known as the California poet, and in his velvet smock, Van'Dyke beard and Windsor tie he looks the part. Elinor Gutsch is living in France, where her string of admirers win for her the title of Europe's Golden Vampf' When she tires of juggling with hearts, she comes to Hollywood where she has a standing contract with the Sheza Bara Film Co. All the world is crazy over John Philpott's violin playing. He is a second Fritz Kreisler, but in spite of his fame comes back to the old A. H. S. every year to give the students a treat. Frances Orr, Ruth Miller and Virginia Burkhardt are all happily married. The crystal refuses to show the faces of their respective husbandsy ' Kenneth Malone is chief electrician at the Columbia, Oakland, where he receives many shocks watching the chorus girls perform. Melita Hutt, before her marriage to an English Duke, traveled in Egypt, where she was greatly interested in discovering the identity of the Sphinx. Al Brooks is on the Orpheum Circuit, successfully demonstrating Feist songs. Grace-Marion Elster has the regulation author's garret in New York. Occasion- ally magazines such as Snappy Stories, Police Gazette, etc., buy a story by way of encouragement, but between times she lives on toothpicks and watery Christian Snead is America's best loved movie star. His slick hair is said by numerous old-timers to resemble that of the one time popular matinee idol, Wally Reid. Myrtle Ganahl is a very successful kindergarten teacher. Perhaps her experi- ence in the 1920 Freshman Reception is responsible for her success. Gerald Daborvich is assistant professor of U. S. history in the University of Kokklvitjkschio, situated in Northern Siberia. Page Eighteen ' ' afgtn
