L'ECHO 25 Edythe Farwell tried nursing, but met the man in the person of a great doctor and eloped to New jersey. She informed us that Sally Plumer spends all her time gate crashing in New York. Sally always tried to climb over the fence at football games and many are the times we've caught her. Jane Kephart is a famous radio announcer. Jane always could talk. Erma Askey is cashier in the bank in the Old Home Town. She pro- mised to correspond with us. She and Alyce O'Dell are still buddies. Alyce is a clerk in a store. Helen Guelker is now playing the leading part in Blondes Prefer Gentle- men. Nancy Grande plays the part of the fascinating brunettein the eternal triangle involved in Blondes Prefer Gentlemen. ln her spare time Nancy writes poetry with great success. She informed us that l-lonora MacDonald is soon to be Mrs. John Rhone. Mr. Norman Kujawa is the proud owner of a chain of stores and a set of twins. Some people have all the luck! Marion Garrison, would you believe it, has a chicken farm. Raises nothing but spring chickens. Cupid has gotten Elsie Way in his golden snare at last, and she is now Mrs. Edward Harmic. And last of all came Marie, late as usual. She said the reason she was late was because she had gotten a nervous spell and had to lie down for an hour or two. She still gets them. She is still trying to swear off men, but is still unsuccessful. Well, here's better luck to our class in the next five years. We sure hope to have another better reunion in 1938, and everyone's invited. .. ,, Virginia McLaughlin WE Mary Bulkley S C get

24 L'ECHO SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY SH I june 8, I933. We sat by the dying embers of our campfires, and our thoughts wandered back to our dear old High School days. For five years we had travelled on the continent, and during that time, we had not had one word from anyone of the class of '28. And now that our long vacation was about to end, we discussed having a reunion of our Senior class. After a restless night, we rose early, broke camp and started back the long trail to civilization. Two weeks later, we resumed our old jobs as interior decorators. After much planning for the reception of our class-mates, at last the great moment had arrived. The first guest was Ruth Bloom, and indeed, she was a true Sherlock, Ruth informed us that Morris Bowers had been taken into custody for peddling vegetables at the unearthly hour of five o'clock. We dispatched a servant with money enough to bail him out and he soon arrived with bells on. The second guest was none other than Orville Bloom, dressed in sport togs. Bloomie plays professional football and basket ball. And now the guests began to arrive in groups. Among the most important of these I see Fred Whitaker, who is a science teacher. His favorite subject is the Echo, As a Latin teacher, Florence Kephart is quite a success. But why not? Florence studied Latin I for four years. The second group to arrive, occupied one corner of the room, conspicious for noise, crying children and quarrelling husbands and wives. Ruth Courley among these, is the wife of a druggist and resides in Clearfield. Kathryn Smith and Thelma Kephart were members of this group and sat rather neglected while jim and Chet danced attendance upon two famed hash slingersn Lenore Williams and Miriam Murray. Si Young came dressed in a black and white checked suit and red tie and we also see that Si has adopted spats and diamond stick pins. Si said he was quite a successful bootlegger. And he has a girl too! He also informed us that Arthur Wall and Beaner Benson are his biggest customers. Rub says Si charges outrageous prices for his medicine Beaner is a bouncer in a large American Cafe and in this way he keeps fit. Beaner told us that Art was a gigolo in the same cafe and got paid for dancing with all the wallfiowers. John I-Iaines has never made much success on the stage, due to frequent attacks of flu just before a big performance, probably caused by cold feet. Mearle Wise is a very successful comedian, under contract to the same company as John. Mearle, in his spare time is teaching Robert Feola to be a jockey. Robert rode the greyhounds in England for a while, but gave it up as a bad job, when he only won two races out of twenty-five in four years. Guess Robert was to heavy for Spareribs. John Sheldon, Robert informed us, was known as a great pessimist among his friends. He was living with his sister, Angeline, and her husband, a million- alre.
