CLASS OF 1924 15 hosiery. Doris Lambert and Alice Ashe have become violent Social- ists and were said to be responsible for the blowing up of the frog pond on Boston Common.” My scene, mirrored in the watermelon, changes. Evelyn Thomas is a biology teacher in a local high school, while the two Swanson girls and Kathryn Regan are stenographers and bookkeepers. Doro- thy Rugg has gone to Europe to study vocal art. I understand a rich man is financing her. Dorothy Reeves and Eva Bedard are both mar- ried and happy, although Dorothy is married to a man a little over four feet im height. He must have done his courting on stilts. Lillian Cox and Claire Bourbeau, who were promising young ladies in our High School days, are kept busy writing out promissory notes. It is whispered about that Gladys Ireland, Celia Florio, and Mildred Far- quhar went on the stage. Such a burst of beauty and brains should attract some notice. Florence Billings, Florence Dacey, and Dora Basque sare teachers of shorthand at “prep” schools. Katherine Hackett invented a new kind of silk stocking, which never “runs.” Ve knew it wouldn’t run from such a dear creature as you, Kather- ine. Margaret McKenna, Rachel Murray, and Edna Newell can be heard any night on the radio. Margaret talks on the latest dance steps, and Rachel and Edna talk on the importance of the commer- cial course in high schools. Now for the boys. Dominic Picone has invented a new kind of shorthand, while Carlton Godfrey invented a way to make Hilda say “yes” to a certain important question. Francis Bergeron and Clayton Lane are working on the street cars, Franklin Crowley and William Day are working on the railroad, and Valentine Conti has a shoe shop. This means service in public places, for these classmates of mine were always thoughtful of the public, especially if the public is of the feminine gender. The names of Evelyn Lamb and Julia Hennessey are fre- quently read in the society columns of the Boston papers, for Julia is Married to a wealthy broker and Evelyn to a noted evangelist. Ruth Berry was last seen in France, taking a tour in a high-pow- evedicar. |! don't doubt but what this is the truth, as the owner of the Cars initials, which were printed on the doors of the car, were Said to be R. R. -Earl Rainville is one of the star runners in long- distance track at a college where he is working his way. Mildred )’Brien and Thelma Ross are pure food experts. Speaking of food, they say the Cragin boys can eat more food at one time than any other two living men; so they must be experts too. Ralph Crossman and Robert Comiskey are the leading contractors in Massachusetts. In school days they doubtless built air castles, but building real edi- fices is much move practical if not so beautiful. Richard Lowney has invented a new fertilizer, which has proved to be a great help to the farmers. SO my prophecy is at an end; and after musing, I have come to the conclusion that one would have to go a long way tbo find a class that is better than the Class of 1924.
