Class Prophecy of 1935 SS I was traveling thru France in 1935, I heard that one of my school chums from our English class of 1921 had taken suddenly ill with appendicitis and had to have an operation. 1 decided I would go to see her before the operation was performed. I hastened to Paris, and as I arrived I inquired for the Collier Allen Hospital, for that was the one she was to be taken to. I was delayed in trying to find it among so many high buildings. I at last reached the four-story edifice of white stone, and rushed up the.steps fearing it was too late. I was told they were just preparing for the operation, and I hastened to the operating room, knocked, and the door slowly opened. I rubbed my eyes to see if I saw just right, for before me stood Neva Collier and her head nurse, Dorothy Allen. On leaving the hospital, Dr. Collier insisted on our spending the evening together; so we decided to go to the I a Paris; Marguerite Schaefer, the prima donna, was going to sing. As we alighted from the taxi, I glanced across the street and read in glaring headlines. Here tonite, Madam Masell Frances Lumilda McAllister, the wonderful toe dancer, and Monsieur J. I ogan. I grabbed my companion’s arm and said, Surely that can’t be the Lumilda and John of our 1921 English class. Dr. Collier said she didn’t know; so we decided to hear the great prima donna first and then see the dancers later. Yes, they were the same Lumilda and John, only somewhat older. The next morning, while sitting in my boudoir I heard the newsboy cry, Extra. Extra, Extra!— the Great—’’ I didn’t wait to hear any more: I A. ' “ M I1I.E MERERS Maybelle Hoel-Ross Business Col.

Then came the first Freshman picnic: How we all flocked to the mine At the historical Book Cliff— How our green faces did shine. Then we became brainy Sophomores, Heads grown as big as balloon Struggling sadly on Life’s stormy shores. Learning of ignorance looms. From Sophs we soon became Juniors, Some leaving, some joining ur class; All working so hard to be Seniors, To which we aspired to the last. And, when we became mighty Seniors, With brows wrinkled sadly from care. And looks that bespoke of much knowledge That made the poor Freshies stare, Then twas a year good and peppy, With parties and dances and things— A slouch day made very snappy By tests that our eyebrows did singe. The play and the fine operetta Both helped give our school a name, And all by the Seniors made peppy— The Seniors who gave H. S. its fame. So, now, as we Seniors are leaving, Embarking on Life’s stormy sea, We hope that our school keeps on growing And the best in the state forever will be. J. V. C.

There in large print I read: “Harold Struthers. the champion of the I . S.. will match his skill with Monsieur Rochell; $25 a ticket; come early to avoid the rush.” I wanted to go, but thot I’d buy a new suit for the occasion; so I proceeded to a modiste’s shop. A small clerk with black eyes came forward to wait on me, and, to my great surprise, 1 found she was Daisy Green. She said she w ould rather clerk than spend her life on Mars. The next morning I decided to go to I»ndon and then back to the United States; but, reading in the morning paper that Miss Emma Groom, the superintendent of the Paris schools, was going to give a lecture on “How Freshmen Should Care for Their Books,” I decided to go and hear it. As she stepped on the platform I noticed she had that same sweet smile, but that fourteen years had changed her locks of hair to silver. That evening 1 left for London, and the next morning 1 went to the bank to get a draft cashed. A very pleasant lady was standing in the cashier’s booth; I at once recognized her to be my old friend, Anna Gormley. She said she was staying with Rev. Wilbur Wages and his wife. The next morning I took the steamer for the U. S. 1 regretted very much to leave my old friends behind. The steamer had not been plowing homeward very many hours before I met another old acquaintance. He appeared all of a sudden, with a beautiful young girl walking by his side, and who should it be but Francis Freezen, the wealthy steel magnate. He told me he had recently married the noted English beauty, Lady Nancy of Devonshire, and that they were returning to their native country. Now I am back in the United States again. In Boston I had some difficulty in crossing Broadway: the traffic police helped me across and who should it be but John Udlock, my esteemed schoolmate. I took the train for Chicago and on the way I met Douglas Armstrong. He said he was a traveling salesman for a broom factory. I asked him if he knew anything about our old school friends and he told me that Dale Dudley was a piano tuner for the Stark Grand Piano Company, and Miley Keough had settled down on a small farm in Wisconsin. I stopped at Cairo, 111., to see Alice Campbell, Orphia Miller and Dorothy Martin: they had a private school for girls. Prof. Ward teaches and Bessie Payne teaches public speaking, and Florence Sanyh vocal and instrumental music. While there I had a dreadful toothache and was told to go to Dr. Mullnix, the prominent young dentist. While in his office I met Messrs. McAllister and McFall; they told me they were selling a preparation to make the hair curl. If you look at their hair you will know that it does as advertised. The following day I went to see the great baseball game of the season. While there 1 saw Clarence Hanson. He told me that Carroll Vannice and Albert Barber were members of the Sells Floto circus and they were fine tight-rope walkers. He said he was teaching algebra in Nashville. At St. Louis we met Clinton Anderson. He told me of his cold-cream and perfume factory. He said that Riehwood Coppel was elected superintendent of agriculture, and that Henry Tupper was chef at the Hotel Midard. At Denver I met Harry Ashley, a traveling salesman for the Brown Mousetrap Company. My next stop was Grand Junction, and it was sure nice to get back home again. I will finish my nurse’s course and then go to Paris to help Dr. Collier in her work. —Neva Collier and Barbara Sullivan.
