Class Prophecy “Station W. L. W. of Cincinnati. Our radio listeners have just enjoyed a program which was sponsored by the Fifth Avenue Style Shop. We will now take you to our New York Studio. This is Paul Antorietto announc- ing.” These are the words which reached the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Smed- ley, Mrs. Smedly formerly known as Mona Sanders. “Rex, do you know what happened just eleven years ago tonight?” “No dear, I don’t.” “Well, it was exactly eleven years ago tonight that we received our diplomas from deal' old Athens High with seventy-four other students and Paul Antorietto was one of them. “Listen, I forgot to tell you, but just a few days ago I heard that Ros- coe Reading had taken over the management of the Fair Store and en- gaged Mildred Holmes as his buyer, and that Merrill Morrison had bought the Banks Ice Cream factory. John Sheridan and Carl Beery, real es- tate agents, sold the property.” “Well, with owners like that the business should prove very profitable. Alice Keen and Rachel Syx, designers for the D. Zenner Company, told me that two of their new models were old school mates, Ramah Darst and Lorena Hartley. Rachel said that she had received a letter from Thelma Cox and Virgene Newman who are engaged in welfare work in the tene- ment districts of New York City and they were telling of a musical revue, “The Blue Laws of 1940,” the stars of the performance being Aldena Tewksbury and Camilla Nickoson. Also there were two Quite famous tap dancers, Ester Lewis and Alma Robinson.” “Gee, it would be great to have a get-together of all these folks, wouldn’t it? There goes the telephone. Wait, Mona, I’ll answer it.” “Sit still, it is probably mother. Hello-—Who?—Oh!—Why, we would be delighted to come.—Who did you say the honor guest was to be? Mr. Wiliam Cooper! the famous orator, oh, that will be lovely. Thank you. Goodbye.” “Rex, that was Pauline Overmyer, who was recently married to Paul Saylor, the organist at the Metropolitan Theater in Chicago. She has in- vited us to a dinner she is giving at the “Crocus Tea Room,” near Sugar Creek. It’s managed by Ellen Stokoe. Lelah Holland and Virginia Bran- non are waitresses. You remember them, don’t you ! She has also invited Audrey Shamel and Ruth Robson, the stenography and typing teachers from Athens High.” “That will be fine. I wonder if John Gift, the woodshop instructor, will be there. Say, you remember Elizabeth Ong, don’t you ? Well, she is coming over tonight to bid us farewell. She has just completed a course in Missionary work and is leaving for Africa next week. She is to be ac- companied by Doroles Phelps. Rosalie Coffey, and Vera Newman. She told me that while she was in New York, she saw Paul Dalton and William Strickland who are with Sousa’s band. You remember they played in the old A. H. S. Band. Very talented young men, weren’t they? She said also that Mona McKinley and Ruth Cone were on their way to Palm Beach to spend the winter, and to see Roy Robinson in the auto races. He cer- tainly ought to be good because he got plenty of practice during his high school career. Elizabeth wants to leave next week because Raymond Car- [27]
