SENIOR PROPHECY On May 29. 1941. just ten years to the day since I graduated from the Aurora High School. 1 left my interior decorating shop in Chicago, to tour the United States in hopes of seeing, or at least hearing, something about each of my old classmates, the class of '31. The old home town. Aurora, was of course the first place I decided to visit for I had high hopes of meeting at least a few of them there. My hopes were fulfilled, for, on inquiring at the superintendent’s office. 1 found that two of them were teaching in the grade school, which had been the high school when we were graduated. Bernita Johnson, who was always so fond of children, was just where 1 had expected to find her—teaching the kindergarten class—and Sibyl Cherry was making dolls out of cardboard in the third grade room. Sibyl told me that Patsy Hall, after all her studious industry at the Denver University School of Commerce, had changed her mind and was now one of the most sought after of the Mesdames of Denvers younger set. Sibyl also told me that Mary Brooks had reached her ambition as an aviatrix and was making her headquarters at the Municipal Airport. I could not resist going out to see Mary, in hopes of a free airplane ride, but to my disappointment Mary could not be found. I asked the chief aeronautical engineer where she was and before he could answer I recognized him as another classmate, Ralph Rathburn. After telling me that Mary was in the Mercy Hospital, ill after a record-breaking endurance flight, he told me that he also was happily married to his schoolday sweetheart. I decided to visit Mary and went directly to the hospital. At the information desk, whom should I see but Agnes Andersen. She had worked herself up to head nurse. Did she look stunning in her white uniform! It reminded me of senior dress-up day. way back in ’31. Agnes took me through the hospital and in a corridor whom should we meet but Velva Thompson, a technician. Velva and Agnes told me that Blanche Kiernan and Lily Kirke-gaard were at the Presbyterian Hospital nursing. Blanche was the head nurse, while Lily was a trained nurse and both were doing very well, and were much interested in their work. Agnes also told me that several of our group were teaching at Colorado University. Boulder was my next stop. Full of excitement and enthusiasm at my good luck in finding so many of the old class. I was walking slowly up the path of the campus watching the boys practicing spring football when I almost bumped into someone. My 1 beg your pardon was not finished for I was face to face with Eugene Lassman. He was football coach at the University and he had a team to be proud of. He told me that two other former athletes were teaching at the university but he would not tell me who they were so I decided to find out. Inquiring at the office I found that Lloyd Ballard was professor of physics and in the large, smelly laboratory I found Lloyd looking wiser and happier than I had ever before seen him. As I passed the history I 10 ]
