Senior Class Prophecy By Amy Rice and Grace Peart Grace. “Oh dear, grandmother, please tell me a story while we’re here alone together. I should just love to hear a story.” j' Amy. “Well now my dear, what do you wish me to tell ? Would you like to hear about my former classmates? Would that interest you?” Grace. “Just the very thing, grandmother. Tnat will be fine. You loved that class, didn’t you?” Amy. “Yes, I loved everyone in it and the class of '21 surely brings pleasant memories altho it has been thirty years since I graduated. Our class was quite large, there being forty of us. The first one I think of is Myron Evans, who was the proverbial fat boy in school, who now is converting the heathen of India and trying to teach them the the modes and manners of civilization. I have his photograph here. He sent it to me last winter. You see he is very thin now because his tasks are very arduous. That makes me think of Ted Gerkin who was a second Abraham Lincoln for slimness. Well, he is now editor of the London Gazette. I was astonished when I was in London many years ago to find myself shaking hands with a large portly man who informed me his name was Gerkin. The very same Ted who graduated in my class. He in-f rmed me that Faye Shadrach owned a villa in Italy and that she had just retired from the stage where she had met brilliant success as an opera singer. He also told me that Mary Eilzabeth Heldman was to be seen at the London Playhouse that very afternoon where she was starring in a recent drama and receiving a great ovation. I came home by way of the bridge which crosses the Bering Strait connecting Siberia with Alaska. I was among the first to cross the new bridge. You know that great engineering feat was the work of Foster Witrnan, America’s most foremost civil engineer. This bridge was finished dur- ing the Democratic administration when Grace Lamb was President of our country and Grace Peart was Vice-President. This administration formed a great political era. Some of the most important world issues were decided at this time with Mildred Lewis Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. You know It was they who helped form that brave company that explored, the Arctic regions and made its resources available to us. Stanton Gilliland was the honored leader of that party. You will read in history how he was lost for months and finally found his way to an Esquimo village where he stayed for several years. It was at that time he worked out feasible plans for our people to make that bleak North habitable. I received a card from Theodore Michael last Xmas. Tedo is just a globe trotter. None of those cards (and I have quite a stack of them) bear the same stamp. The last one came from Egypt at which place he was spending the winter on the Nile. Orval Stevenson was a forest ranger in the Rocky Mountains. He went there for his health where he grew rugged and strong from the outdoor life. He has retired fr.m active service but still lives among the mountains. Mary Cavett is teaching language in a Russian University. I remember that Mary was one of the Latin enthusiasts in our High School days. Here is a copy of Alice Wortman’s latest book, “A School Girl’s Romance” in which she splendidly portrays the character cf girlhood typical of that period. I also noticed in one of your magazines an advertisement of “Miss Slaven’s Modern Cooking Department.” That is Margaret Slavens of my class who was always fond of domestic science. When I was in Butte, Montana, I heard, of a famous woman lawyer who on Saturday was to defend a cattleman against a miner. Imagine my surprise when I dis-
