Septembef 3, 1955 DEAR SIR! just returned from a thrilling exploration of the United States to get you information concerning the class of 1930. Last spring while fiying about in our trusty bi-plane we landed in Spiro, Oklahoma for gas. After waiting for half an hour we heard strange, but beauti- ful sounds coming forth from the inner recesses of the garage. Upon investi- gation we discovered Clare VVasmuth sitting on a barrel playing a jews harp. He informed us that he had a life time job as chief bronco-buster, of the largest ranch in the west, it being owned by Violet Sandifer's husband. After a few minutes conversation we resumed our flight. VVith the aid of the new pocket telescope invented by Vvilbur Young, we viewed the scenery about us. Our attention was distracted by a sign board upon which Farrell Becker, the famous advertiser, was posting a bill announcing the coming of the marvelous File Circus owned by VYarren lfile. A wonderful picture of the world's famed clown, Lowell llrown, who is attached to the circus, drew our attention. After one glance, we sailed on presently overtaking lvan Miller, who seemed to be frightfully hurried and only shouted to us as we passed that he was hot on the trail of a noted air criminal. A few days later we landed in Los Angeles, purchased an edition of the VYorld's News edited by Earl Wilson and headed for the VYise Lunch Establish- ment, where we settled ourselves for an enjoyable meal prepared by VN'esley Vlise. Wihen we inquired as to why he chose this occupation, XYesley said he had en- joyed the work on the Junior Senior Reception in 1929, and since we had to eat to live he realized he could make money. ln the News were many interesting items: Ruth Allio, society matron of Moscow and wife of the minister to Russia had returned to the States for a visit with Mary E. Young, wife of our president. Geneva and 'lune Thompson, dress modelers, had sailed for japan to study 'Tap- anese costumes and here they intended to visit lrene Neumann, who is teaching there. While we were eating and discussing further plans for our trip, who should breeze in but Esta Pearl Cox, who informed us she was Lf S. Senator from Illi- nois and had come to Los Angeles, to see the latest movie tone picture. The Radio Review, written by Lillian McHenry and in which Don Long and Genevieve Cline were the principal characters. XYe spent the evening with Esta Pearl and cer- tainly got our money's worth. As the screen descended, the topics of the day were flashed upon it. Those of special interest to us were: Kathryn Andrews and Laura Park, noted violinists, who were photographed on their return from abroad, where they had played before numerous kings and queens. Don McVey was shown just after he had successfully sold the present Pharaoh of Egypt an idea on how to install electric coolers throughout his kingdom for the purpose of maintaining civilization. One evening we journeyed over to Catalina lsland which Helen Yonder- bruegge inherited from VVilliam VVrigley, jr. Helen had left the island under the watchful care of DeMond Ahler. llelllond gave us rooms on the fourteenth fioor of his hotel of which Evelyn Strain is matron. Our fascinated gaze from our window upon the scenery about us was cut short by a persistent knocking on our door. The intruder turned out to be Vernon Greimann, star shortstop of the world champion baseball team. CContinued on page 305 r N A Iv A ff Wfw Pa c' T'2E'f'Htj'-1'lH'lt' l 7 1 3 Ula ff Z X f fl, M

r i f 2 ' ' XX f,X XX XX SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY tContinncd from page 29j He told us that john Schrumpf, the discoverer of the marvelous, but mysteri- ous island of the South Seas, had returned to the States to give lectures on the work of several of the Greenvillites on the island. Evard Dickerson and Alice Malan were both missionaries among the natives and Lucille Hunter was engaged in social work. Carol Hawley had bee11 appointed matron and Vivian Hamel head nurse of a hospital built under the supervision of Roy VValker and modeled by the noted artist, Juanita File. Eldon Holcomb was the leading physician. Eldon had discovered, with the aid of Professor Fred Baeur, a chemist, a cure for cancer. Eldon Sugg and Robert Holcomb had discovered a very queer chemical product there, while engaged in pearl diving and it was from this the cancer cure was obtained. The next morning after our return to the continent we started forth on our way to San Francisco where we knew we would be sure to unearth numerous alum- ni of '3O. Late that afternoon as we entered the city we saw in blazing letters of gold, Powell and Co. Ah, here was another Greenvillite! Gerald was out of the office, but we were told by his secretary, Helen Royer, that he was making good- we noticed as we went out that three gold balls, evident sign of prosperity, adorned the door. llidding Helen hood-bye, we rolled up Fifth Avenue toward the home of the former Marie Gaffner, but were soon halted by an immense crowd which blocked the thoroughfare from one side to the other. Fond readers, it was not merely an accident, but john Diamond, a well known magician, causing eggs to disappear into mid air and reappear in some one's pockets. To our utmost dis- appointment, Marie had left a few hours before for the east. That night we put up at the Y. XY. C. A., of which Lucille Jett is manager. Early the next day we headed for Florida, where we planned to visit Maxine Moulton and Dorothy llorris, beauty culturists at Palm Beach. VVhile visiting here we met Lucy McCracken and llorothy Miller. lfloth looked as though they were very prosperous American business women. NVhen asked as to how the world had treated then they said they were doing business with a millionaire. Upon inquiring we learned that they were chewing gum saleswomen for the VVil- liams firm. Edith is a close rival of the Wfrigley firm. They also informed us that lXIildred Gwyn and Vadys Pancoast had just left for the Aleutian Islands to teach, and that Thelma VVillman and Hilda Slocumb had just completed a revised translation of Virgil. which backward students claim is the best of its kind. The authors modestly suggest that the publication is really due to the wonderful course which Greenville offered them. After a short visit we slid into the air, headed for New York, but troubled by the motor we landed in the beautiful city of Wegmarlville in the Appalachian Mountains. This quaint city had just been settled by Hulda Wegmaii while on one of her famous hikes. Hulda is now mayor and Alice Smith is at the head of the schools. Anxious to find more classmates we departed for New York. As we neared our destination we noticed a peculiar sign below. To our amazement we learned that Edna Ulmer owned a musical shop which specialized in training canaries to sing popular songs. Upon our arrival in New York we inquired about Edna,s work and were told by june Higgins and julia Morgan, New York society women, that she was very successful in her work. As we headed for the Opera House that evening we met Vera Wise, an employee in the office of the Police de- partment and were told that Lloyd Thacker, a policeman, had saved the life of Viv- ian VVoodward, a secretary for a hotel which was destroyed by fire. The next morn- ing we obtained the New York Times and read several articles which informed us CContinued on page 931 I J v Page Thirty .,. . V V v v Qfy ' ,,f',- I. ,f ff, Y, 52 W,
