Sir ned: THE CLASS OF l3O J CLASS PBOPHECY I walked into the broad-casting room of station M. H. S. with nothing on my mind but the vague idea that I was gathering inside material for a short story. I sat down in the back of the room quite unnoticed, for Ilm a very plain person. I glanced at the announcer, and as I recognized the familiar face, I nearly waved a greeting to him for itwas Lyn Colter, the former business manager of La Revista. Lyn's clear voice echoed in every part of the room as he told the world that the program of the evening was sponsored by the Class of '30 of Maricopa High School, and that the first performers were to be the charming Helen Hayslett and the famous gentleman, Cecil Garland. They danced a most unusual tap dance, and their heels clicked on the floor in perfect rhythm. Jimmie Webb stepped forward at the termination of this dance, and gave a surprisingly sound talk based on the Philosophy of Modern Business. How queer to find the gay Jimmie of old a professor! Lynls voice carried us on to the next performer who was Miss Lo- rene Rankin. She danced beautifully, swaying back and forth before the telavision mirror as if she were dancing on the very notes of the music. At the end of the dance the announcer, making an apology for Page Eighteen

- i -279 '0 the interruption, made an important announcement. I-Ie soon satisfied my curiosity by briskly telling the expectant thousands that word had been received from London to the effect that Ella I-Iixon and Harry Dudley had arrived safely, ending victoriously the first non-stop glider fiight around the world. '4But on with the show, said Lyn, and he called Miss Pauline Rader to the microphone to tell us of the strange adventures that she and Mrs. Opal Mason had in Alaska where they were the first women to complete a trip to the north pole on bicycles, As Pauline un- folded her thrilling story, I became more and more awed at the strange things that had happened to the Class of '30, but then they were always famous for doing the unexpected. The announcer made station announcements and then introduced Miss Noreen Dolliver who was to sing April Weatherw composed by Mr. Frank Allard. Mr. Allard accompanied Miss Dolliver at the Steinway. It was several minutes before I could place this charming, tall woman who held herself so aloof, but at last it came to me that she was the Nellie Doll of our high school days. It was now time for the children's story hour and Uncle Bobbie Chipps told a simple, but interesting little story about the bad little boy who wouldn't study. At the end of Uncle Bobbie's story, Miss Agner Taylor read into the microphone, selected cooking recipes which made my mouth water. They were tested by her and I was surprised to hear that her cookbook is to be published next month. Agnes had changed considerably since our senior year. She was dressed to suit her occupation in a plain little dark blue dress covered with a large white apron. Her hair was not visible for it was held tightly in place by a large cooking cap. Then the quaint little cook finished her talk and stepped out of the range of the television, and Lyn continued his announcements, recounting some of the best paramount pictures of the season. These did not interest me until he mentioned the name of the outstanding picture, Tid Bits, in which l found two of my old friends, Elizabeth Elder and William Wylie, were starring. It was directed and finished by Buddy Cheesebrough. I would make an effort to see that picture. Again the announcer's voice brought me back to this surprising program with, Bertram Snedden, better known as 'Mazooke of the Uke,l will give a few request numbersfl You can imagine my sur- prise at seeing Bertram standing there smiling while he sang silly songs to the tune of a uke. All right, Lyn was all business now, get ready for the stock market readings. This evening we will have Miss Maynell Reinert read them, and afterwards she will give you a few tips. For those who are uninformed as to who Miss Reinert is, I will say again that she is the young and beautiful woman who amazed the brokers of the street by her uncanny luck and intelligent investments in stocks.
