Senior Class Prophecy I graduated from high school with the desire to travel. I had been out of school ten years and saved enough money to take a trip to a few of the large cities in the United States. I decided to go to New York as I always Wanted to see a large city. While walking down the street everyone seemed to be going in the same direction. I followed the crowd to see where they were going. After walking about a block I saw a large sign which read, Palace Theater. The attractions for the evening were, Mildred McClelland and Clarence Hertle starring in 'Butcher Knife Love' and the 'Kish Hardman Vaudeville Company'. After the show I went to the stage door and had a fine visit with my old classmates. As it was late I began to look for a hotel where I could stay all night. As I did not know where to go I thought I would inquire of a policeman, who proved to be no other than Vernon Custer. He informed me the way to the hotel and also that he and Miriam had been married just one year. I Went the direction I had been directed and after walking two blocks and turning to my left I saw this sign, The Straw Hotel. I went in and as Madge and I were talking she told me that Elmer Switzer had been rooming there. I asked her if he was one of her star boarders and she said, No, he is just an idle roomerf' Madge had Charlotte Kline assisting her in the hotel business. The next morning while I was waiting, I picked up a newspaper, the New York Herald, and turning to the editorial page found that John Williman was the editor of the paper. I turned to the society page and read where Mr. Harold Skinner and Mrs. Skinner, formerly Miss Alice Owens, delightfully entertained a number of their friends at the beautiful Skinner home at 219 East South Street. The next day I left New York and went to Washington. In Washington I met one of my classmates, in the person of Evan Owens. Who was United 'States Senator. He informed me that Marvin Cowan, another of my old classmates, was ending a very successful year as manager of the Senator Baseball Team. From Washington I went to Chicago Where I visited Pauline Brunni and Margaret Yagle who were doing a very proitable business in a millinery store. As I had been away from home for some time I decided to return to Ohio City. VVhen I arrived at the station I hardly knew Where I was. The town had made many changes. There were several new business places which were not there when I left. I I learned that Donald VJaltcrs 'and Mrs. Walters, formerly Miss Doris Temple, were still in the drug business. Down the street a little ways was a barber shop and beauty parlor combined. The proprietors proved to be no other than Harold Johnson and Lucille Dull. Across the street from the barber shop was a grocery store, advertised as, The Smiths Grocery. The Smiths proved to be Dode and Hugh of the Senior Class of 1928. ' IVIADGE WI'fTEN
