CLASS PROPHECY T IS THE spring of 1943. Last Saturday night Fort Worth once more celebrated the opening of her world-famous Fat Stock Show with the most gorgeous pageant ever produced. Mayor Jack Gregory crowned Queen Mildred of the House of Brans- ford, whose beauty, so it is whispered, is partly owing to a plastic surgery operation by Dr. C. B. Brewster. Somewhat dazed by this spectacular affair I wandered about the familiar grounds until I happened upon the tent of a withered old Egyptian, who assured me that by gazing into his crystal globe for but a moment I might see all the past, present and future. "I wonder where are the friends of yesteryear?" I thought, and as I looked into the crystal, dim figures appeared, gradually becoming more distinct until, with a rush, these scenes passed before me: Henry L. Shepherd is now the American ambassador to the Court of St. James, where, much to his pleasure, it is still considered proper to wear knee breeches. Now being a member of every club of importance in the world, his customary two rows of club pins reach quite to his silver shoe-buckles. Margaret Caldwell is a world-famous educator, having recently been elected president of Smith College, where Marsie Cheek holds the Latin professorship. Paderewski's place as premier pianist has long been occupied by Fae Corbitt, who, having gained fame under her maiden name, still retains it. Maxine Shannon and Miller Sparks were recently employed by Margaret Horton, who now heads the Chicago Grand Opera Company. John Campbell is President of these United States. The First Lady of the Land will be remembered perhaps as Miss Gladys Hart. The Cabinet includes such celebrities as: Mrs. Nelle Byrne McCue, Elizabeth Strickland, Nilwon Nowlin, James Ryan and Allen McCue. Washington" has been in a commotion over the political fight being waged between Senator Joe Thomas, Democratic Leader, and J. W. Kennedy, Speaker of the House. Besslu Senter is mis- tress of the Governor's mansion at Austin and Marjorie Colvin is very active in church work there. 'Donald Frazee has become well-to-do by the accidental discovery of a popular breakfast food, made from sun flower seed, which are plentiful on his Handley estate. Elmore Hudson, famous architect, was recently awarded first prize by the International Association of Artists for an original design in hen-coops. Sunshine Richter, the portrait painter, has been enjoying a vacation on the Riviera after the labor of executing a portrait of Roger Hughes. The services of Mary Joe Rogers are now much sought after, since she has gained such widespread recognition for her knowledge of kindergarten instruction. Alice Jennings, famous for her charming novels, has recently collaborated with Roberta Johnson on the book, "Secret Secrets." Hugh Brooks was sent down to take charge of the new astronomical observatory at Benevida, Peru, and with him went Luther Mansfield, official government interpreter. Thekla Lockhart, who has achieved considerable distinction as an interior decorator, is now located in London, where she is remodeling Buckingham Palace. Forest Hurley, attor- ney with the firm of Hurley, Titsworth and DeWitt, recently won the most gigantic case ever before a Federal court when he successfully defended Chester Haltom in a suit brought against him for false rendering of his income tax. George Quillen, the successor to Will Rogers, was in Fort Worth recently for an operation by Herschel Thomas who, with his partner, Harry Pendrey, is broadly recognized for his surgery.

Marjorie Nell Harris is the "premier danseuse" at the Greenwich Winter Garden. X Fred Duvall has foresworn the chasing of "peaches" and owns America's largest orange grove near Pasadena.- And then there floated across the crystal globe the hazy figure of a stately, red- brick building. "Senior," I whispered to myself-"Old Senior High." This, too, dis- appeared, to leave me wondering if the old building could know how its children had prospered-and if somewhere in its musty halls there is Something, which is proud that their success is due in part to the training imparted by her to the Class of '23. lm, X frif' M- , .f.,.r gli' r,Ma,..a+g.f-...-.-L-...--- ------ ---if--Ti-D-gleam KLMAY A i f H ly Zsy
