CLASS PROPHECY Never will I forget that night of May 5, just before our Annual went to press. As editor of the literary department, I had to write the Senior Prophecy. Me, a mere Senior, attempting to forecast the brilliant future of the Class of '28. I spent the early part of that fateful evening trying in vain to pierce the mist that veils our future life. As I sat musing, the prescience of a being came over me: the room was filled with a mellow glow and a soft voice bade me look into the crystal which was held before me. As the opalescent film thinned, I found myself gazing upon a crowded New York boulevard. A car drew up in front of a stylish shop, bearing the illumination Ressler and Ables, designers. Out of the tonneau stepped Professor William McCullough and his wife. formerly Miss Beulah Kislingbery, of the faculty of Columbia University. Pass- ing down the street, Professor McCullough entered the Lois Strickler Florist Shop. His wife went on to ther Johnson Beauty Parlor. Watching them. the scene faded and I was transported to the American Embassy in Constantinople. A reception for the directors of the Granville Floating University, Miss Helen Wellman and Mr. Charles Levering, was in progress. As the guests moved about, I saw Miss Hood. secretary to the Ambassador, introducing Miss Wiley, dean of Constantinople College for Women. Again the scene changed-to the crowded office of Edwards and Fitch, attorneys at law. I saw the familiar face of a young girl. She was seated at a desk nearby, typing. This girl was. Lucille Ankrum. Looking over her shoulder, I perceived she was typing on the case of Richards versus Childs' restaurants. Evidently Cocky had continued his business begun under Patsy. Once more the vision shifted, this time far away-to a newspaper office in Burma. Robert Marshal had apparently just arrived there as the American correspondent. With him was Aviator Walter Curtis, his pilot. As I looked, two swathy young men entered, talking animatedly. Bob Bowers, who was training for his Olympic races, was discussing the Meet with Evan Jones, resigned pitcher of the Philadelphia Red Socks. Another picture crossed the crystal-the dining room of the Lake Placid Club. At the entrance, Erma Haynes was showing patrons to their tables. As I watched, a small bustling gentleman entered, the president of the Up and Atme Advertising Company. Flicking Miss Haynes under the chin, he asked, Have a table for Uncle and his guests? Six. Big surprise for you. Some of our friends of the Class of '28. Why Charles, how nice of you to bring them here. Turning, he motioned in Barbara jones. director of athletics at Bryn Mawr, Mary Elizabeth Eddy, National Secretary of Y. W. Camps, Ruth Kennedy, primadonna of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Paul Masters, stage artist for the National Little Players Club, Doris Peter- man, critic for the Book of the Month Club, and Margaret Bakeman. noted poet. Storm tossed billows next framed the kaleidiscope shown in the pearly crystal. A palatial ship majestically rode the dashing waves. On the bridge stood Skipper Lytle. fimagine the restl. Far below the water line, the white-clad surgeon, Doctor Darrow, labored under a delusion, assisted by a neat nurse, Frances Brown. His patient was the erstwhile check-signer for our great Nation. Frederick Detweiler. While on his way to visit the wealthy ranch owner, Emerald Cherry in South Africa, he was stricken by an acute toothache. Without the door, stood the dignified stewardess, Elizabeth Deeds. Above decks, frolicked the protegees of Mary Dragics, world-famous conductor of collegiate tours. Just then, a mythical wave engulfed the stately galleon and clouded the l V if . f ., S X . X ff Sb, .X 1 'X X crystal. In vain my searching eyes attempted to pierce the veil for my own fortune.

SENIOR PLAY NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Mr. St. Clair and the faculty once again showed judgment in the choice of the play for this year's graduating class. Nothing But the Truth, by james Montgomery has been very popular through- out the country with its wealth of dry humor and tense action. The play was given on June 5 and 6 in the High School Auditorium. The cast of characters and a reume of the play follows: Robert Bennet .... .... C harles Broughton E. M. Ralston .... ........ A rthur Darrow Dick Donnelly ..... ..... F rederick Detweiler Clarence Van Dussen ..... Robert Edwards Bishop Doran ..... ...... P aul Masters Gwendolyn Ralston-- ...... Helen Wellman Mrs. E. M. Ralston-- --------- Frances Guckert Ethel Clark ----- -. ---- Mary Elizabeth Eddy Mable Jackson ---- -.. ------ Barbara Jones Sable Jackson--- ------ Dorothy Wiley Martha ----- -------. - -- ------- Lucille Ankrum Bob Bennett is a type of young man who is seldom seen in the stock markets of N. Y. To him honesty is the best policy and because of his firm belief in this maxim, he engages in a mighty war of words in which, after a fierce struggle, he is victorious. Bob is a partner in the stock firm of which E. M. Ralston is president. The Ralstons live in high society and his daughter, Gwendolyn, fiancee of Bob, is treasurer olli a committee which is to raise by subscription, the money for a new seaside home for c ildren. Gwendolyn intrusts Sl0,000, which she has raised, to Bob asking him to double it through speculation. Her father has promised that he will double the amount if she can double her 510,000 in five days. Bob dubiously promises to raise the money somehow. His opportunity comes more quickly but in a different manner from what he ex- pected. He is involved in a lengthy discussion about honesty and in the heat of the con- versation he makes a bet for 510,000 with the others of the firm that he will tell the , exact truth for twenty-four hours, or until 4 o'clock the next day. 1 ' Bob uses Gwendolyn's SI0,000 as a stake in the bet in order to be sure that he f l I doesn't try to trick them. Mr. Ralston takes him out to his summer hove over night to X I keep a strict watch over him. 'H 1 The second act is filled with the tragic results of truthfulness, as he must needs XXX XR, embarrass both himself and all his influential friencls by answering exactly thruthful state- K, ments. Even Gwendolyn is mystified,-the bet is to be known to no one but those ff-X involved,-especially when she learns from his truthful lips that he has both held in his arms and kissed a circus lady. XX ' 1 Affairs are brougt' to a climax in the third act when Bob is forced to expose Mr. ' 1 Ralston to his. wife by telling that he had lighted a cigarette for two flirts in his office. ' Q His announcement causes a near divorce. g CK X His friends are getting frantic as they see their money fading and Bob is getting f exceedingly nervous as the hour creeps around to four. f N 'AQ 1' S' z X X l W nyc' . l 1'l'Ili't'l1 , X 5 ' XX XXX Q x XX V X.
