i I Class Prophecy One day while I was deep in study at my desk I fell asleep. In this calm and peaceful slumber, I arose refreshed and strengthened and stepped out into the street. Such strange sights that met my eyes! A mammoth city and airships roaring in every direction. I noticed on a billboard HUMBOLDT 1942. Near me slowly came a lady-her face seemed familiar but I was at a. loss to speak her name. Suddenly I discovered it to be none other than my old chum- Margaret Fergus. How surprised she was to see me! She invited me to remain with her that day so I accepted. We hailed a flying car and were .soon going swiftly to her home. The con- ductor was a short stout lady and upon observing her closely I was startled to find that she was the indomitable Arlene Whitney and she was demonstrating her belief in Woman's Rights. On the car sat a dude wearing stylish clothes and a monocle, carrying a cane and toying with a small poodle. Imagine my consternation when I found him to be Ralph Hendrix who had suddenly become rich after selling a ten- year crop of wheat at three dollars a bushel at the time Japan declared war on the United States. Well, the whole day brought surprise after surprise. Vivian Smith was dancing on the stageg Ailane Hayes was an opera singerg Wilma Hunzeker won fame with her book entitled, Why Doesn't He Come Back To Me g Glen Carpenter had taken Billy Sunday's place as a great evangelist, and was assisted by the noted tenor Edwin Bentley and the celebrated organist, Viola Robertson, all of whom were receiving fabulous salaries from the sawdust trail blazersg Max Kerns had graduated from West Point and was a major restoring ruined buildings in Tokyog Leah Ruth was president of Oberlin College and had been selected by President Alfalfa Bill Murray as one of the peace commissioners following the warg Richard Nims was a prosecuting attorney at St. Louis and was dubbed the Samuel J. Tilden of the Westg Richard's secretary was the demure, reticent, strikingly handsome Wilma Koeneke, who' it was said, held the prosecutor's heart in her tiny compactg Evelyn Jaros was conduct- ing a small job office in Boston where she specialized in fancy letter heads for large corporationsg Robert Burow was head coach at Notre Dame and was being termed a second Rockne. Robert Montgomery was postmaster alt Chicago and had nearly ruined his eyesight trying to read all of the post cards which came through his office. An hour's ride took us to Edna Kerr's home where we learned that she was head nurse in the large Montgomery Ward hospital. While visiting wilth her she acquainted me with the whereabouts of the other members of the class of 1932. Donald Louderback was pilot of an airshlip which made daily trips between Europe and South America, His wife was a member of the class of 1933. Friel Kerns was a great scientist and had worked out a way to heat and light the whole world with the power gained from harnessing the ocean tides. Doris Tnimble and Elizabeth Gridley had both been dis- appointed in love and were living in a quiet corner of Chicago with no companies but a black cat and two canary birds. Louise Lafferty was always too busy to think of marriage as she could not miss the weekly meetings of the Sewing Society for Jobless Pedagogues. PAGE 'H-wiii4irY-rwoi' 'I ' I W M I ' N- Im'-
