MADISQN IAN CLASS PROPHECY OR nearly ten years I have been living in the north woods of Canada. I had been thinking of returning to the United States, one evening I decided to leave. About 4 o'clock the next morning, after a hearty breakfast, I went to the dog shed and brought out my faithful old dog team which had served me for many years. By 7 o'clock I was ready to leave. Bidding my partner goodbye, I left. The day was beautiful. The snow crackled beneath the runners of the sled. At ten min' utes of four I arrived in Quebec. From there I took an aeroplane and in three and onefhalf hours I landed at the Chicago airport. As I stepped from the plane I ran into a young man. Oh, I beg your pardon, I exclaimed. NVell knock me down with a rudder if it isn't my old friend Olenf' Boy! was I suprised! There stood Kenney Reichert in an aviator's suit. Of course we chatted for fifteeen or twenty minutes like old friends do. Ken then insisted that I go to his house and stay for dinner. NVhen we reached his house we were shown by the butler to the dining room. There I met his wife, the former Neva Grimm. The dinner was splendid. We turned to the parlor and talked over old times. Kenny knew where some of the other grad' uates were, so we prepared to leave for Los Angeles in the morning. We arrived in Los Angeles the next afternoon. We jumped a cab and drove to Beverly Hills. There I met Tony Reiser and his wife, the former Miss Mowry. Tony was an architect in Los Angeles. We visited Tony and his family for a week. During this time we met Miss Leona Huffman and Miss Ruth Harlan. They were doing a prosperous business in a dress shop located on Sunset Boulevard. We then went to Kansas City where we met Chuck Hornerick doing a good business in a tooth pick factory. In a few days we returned to the city of Chicago. I decided to look around a bit. As I was walking through the Loop I noticed a sign which read something like this: DeVine and Harry, Attorneys at Law. Why, I exclaimed, Can that be Ruth DeVine and Alice Harry who were in the Class of '31? Well, curiosity usually wins, so I determined to find out. I walked into the waiting room and as luck would have it, Ruth came to the door. I handed her my card. Are you Olen Shutt, the boy in the Class of '3l? Yes, I answered. Of course we were glad to meet each other again. After visiting with the two ladies, I ref turned to Kenneth's home. . That evening Ken insisted that we go to a movie. The News Reel showed ,lean Hale. champion tennis player. We saw a few of the most interesting parts of the game and also where she was awarded the championship cup. After the News Reel came the Vodvil. The master of ceremonies addressed the crowd, Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to present to you Miss Dorpha Maze, Miss Adeline Pagani, and Miss Ruby Garst. These ladies are known all over the world for their dancing and signing talent. Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Dorpha Maze. When Dorpha had finished displaying her splendid dancing ability, Miss Pagani and Miss Garst gave us a duet. It certainly was fine. I never thought that there were so many in our class with such hne talent. In the main picture, L'The Lady from Paris, five girls from our class had leading rolesg Miss Mildred Scanlon, the Lady from Paris: Ruth Lantz, the Comedian and Maid: Jennie Harlan, Mildred's mother: Clara Mast, 'lennie's sister: and Alice Shultz, the Girl of Yesterday. The picture was the most amazing I had ever witnessed. After the picture we went to Ken's home where I spent the night. During this time I had tried to persuade Kenny to visit me. He hnally consented, and the next morning we left for my home. When we reached Quebec we stored the plane and took the dog sled, In about eight hours we came in view of my cabin. My partner had dinner ready and after the meal we ref tired for a much needed rest. Kenneth wanted to see the country so the next morning we ex' plored for mile around. Ken stayed for a week's visit and then returned to his home in Chicago, leaving with me renewed memories of my Clases of 31, OLEN SHUTT.
