m m eiss prtfptypcy i Here I, George Wolfer, editor of Harper's and President of the World Almanac Company, sit in an ultra-modern office with feet on the floor, smoking a synthetic cigar and writing for our Almanac what the class of 1933 of Greenville High School is doing. It would seem ns though that ™hole class of '32 has accomplished more than any other group of young people. Just think! Elizabeth Bradley, foremost American business woman, is head of the world's largest wholesale -house. She sort of followed in her father's footsteps. Chet Hansen, the class Big Dane , ip a second Knute Rockne,while his pals , Don Stevens and Red 3odell, are two of the Four Mules who back up Knute's team. Why here Elizabeth Taylor, our dear Class-mascot and advisor, is the international poetess and sentimental novelist Katharine Choate, the 20th Century Jenny Lind, whose silvery, bird-like voice has given her world-wide fame, and to whom the Choate Fine Arts Hall in Nei York is dedicated, christened the nev’ Cleveland rocket ship at the World's Fair. Clarence Herbert, the chief electrician at the Chicago Civic Opera Company, is working for Charles Gibson, the big shot of the company. Quite a few of the class of '32 seem to have gathered at the Chicago Civic. Majel Cameron is the first pianist and Virginia Moore is third violinist of the Symphony Orchestra. Carlton McDonald is selling policies, insuring mule-owners from mule-kicks down in Missouri. Bob Skinner is judging cattle at the World's Fair with Russell Peterson and Charles Hulick. Emerald Perry is the White House barber and proves that he can beard the lion right in his o n den. (The lion is the same Ed Ferch who used to go with Anna Walker, (the second Florence Nightingale. ) This is quite surprising. Robert Christensen, Mayor of Belding, Michigan, has for his right-hand men, Ray Farmer and Russell Fagerlin, the great Chesterfield endorsers. Speaking about Belding, Charles Niles, famous M. G. M. movie director, is starring the Wright Sisters in a new Talkie called The Silent Soto , ' hich proves that the hand is quicker than the eye.
