 THE SPUDPICKER SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY After a long day’s work in a studio in Chicago, I was walking wearily down the street when I suddenly met a seemingly old lady who was dressed in black; her back was bent, but her face looked young although it was very sad. She seemed to be lost, but when she saw me approaching her face brightened. She greeted me as though she had known me for years. I became inquisitive and asked her name. Imagine my surprise when she said her name was Myrtle Mackler, my old classmate, who had been disappointed in love and had become a wandering, half-insane woman. Journeying on, I began to wonder what had become of our little class that had graduated years ago, so deciding to take a vacation, I determined to spend it in Hem- ingford which had grown to be the metropolis of Nebraska. On a particular evening one of the world’s greatest Grand Operas was to be in Chicago, to present a program of the finest quality. I took advantage of the opportun- ity and decided to go. To my great astonishment, Joe Plananasky, who used to sing in the High School Chorus, was tenor soloist of this large opera. The next day I boarded the train for my planned vacation in Hemingford. On arriving in the city, I saw from the car window a large sky-scraper under construction. On asking who was building it, I learned that a married woman, who was formerly Gladys Roth, was using her millions acquired from baseball games, for the cause of hu- manity. From an old friend, Muriel Zurcher, who was still going with Ralph, I learned that Joe Plananasky, the great singer had married Alberta Osborn because he didn’t want her to be an old maid. I also learned that Blanche Moravek had decided to do something more worthwhile with her looks than vamping boys, and had gone into the movies. The following day, wishing to visit an ideal country home, I motored a few miles outside of the limits of Hemingford to a beautiful home with magnificent gardens, where lived the loving couple Mr. and Mrs. George Bacon. The bride was formerly Helen Schneider who graduated in the class of 1927. That evening as I went to my room in the hotel, I began to realize that we, the class of ’27 had received more than our share of fame, even though I have not as yet won fame as an artist in a large city. 25 By Audrey Johns
