JUNE CLASS PROPHECY— Continued Meade Stith, having attended V. M. I., is now Secretary of War. Meade ' s for world peace, we know. He never quar- reled about anything in his life. Albert McCants is manager for the Boston Braves and is quite a hustler. Dorothy Perkins, the answer to a “Teacher’s Prayer,” has at last achieved her highest ambition and is Civics teacher at high school. Louise Sadler is a famous jockey. She won the last Kentucky Derby, according to a medal she wears. “Dick” Robertson is a minister. Last Tuesday he made a talk in assembly. Sufficient to say, he didn’t need a stop watch. “Dick,” you’re a good product of P. H. S. I pinched myself to be sure if I was quite all there, because there were Annie Gay and “Bee” Kaplan just chat- ting away and using the most atrocious English. Can you imagine that? Mary Lelia Wells has at last succeeded in driving a car and, at the same time, can speak to her acquaintances. Congratulations, old dear, but please don’t try to be an aviatrix! We’re afraid you’ll “snoot” us all the time. Are you sure that’s ‘‘Sassy” Beachy teaching in a school for the deaf and dumb? “Sassy,” they can’t even hear you. What do you do? Keep a parrot for company? Maud Perkinson, Blanche Pride, Virginia Lamb and Catherine Rudy are shown by the crystal as the famous “Flying Four.” They make their balloon ascension to- morrow, competing for the endurance prize. Virginia Smoot is engaged. We wonder if he’s a saint. “Joe” Manson is now a member of a secret Corsican organization, having received the idea from Mr. Freas’s ti- rade on “Colomba.” Blood and thunder! We hope he won’t get revenge for any of the wrongs done him while at P. H. S. George Edmunds is sponsoring a Hi-Y club for girls. Oh, man! On with the idea! — 60 —

r Snf •i ' 111 ROULETTE r E 3 EI 1 . . j JUNE CLASS PROPHECY— Continued Elizabeth Neaves and Ethel Breeden are models for the great sculptor, “Izzy” Cantor. Izzy’s side partner is, of course, none other than the great and renowned Albert Wice. Frances Whitt is playing the part of Lanky in George Smith’s Freak Circus. Dot Ritchie is the clown. He also has Margaret Keeler as the world’s most famous giggler and “Pinky” Friend as the lady whose hair is on fire but never burns. Peculiar, isn’t it? Fulton Youngblood is now French teacher at Anderson High and smiles covertly at Gladys Hawkins, who has sup- planted Miss Browning. Virginia Rawles has received an international prize for translating French the fastest. “Jimmie” D’Alton, having become so used to the uni- form, is now a sailor scrubbing the decks of a U. S. cruiser. “Mac” Underwood is an admiral in the Navy. Alton Tipton is a big league ball player, and Gordon Williamson is manager of his team. Now, we know which team to bet on — and how! Harry Temple is a Packard salesman. Dick Godsey and Lewis Patteson are prospects. And who do you suppose buys one? Why, “Louie” does, of course. “Fatty” Townes, Marie Wilkinson, Louise Smith and Margaret Mitchell are seen in the crystal as bathing beauties in a contest at Miami Beach. And there is dear old Norman McCaleb at his old job, dealing out towels and keys for the bath houses. He would! Depend on “Mac.” “Trixie” Mitchell is assistant to the advertising man- ager of the Progress-Index. She seems as busy as in former times at P. H. S. Edith Scherer is a permanent wave specialist, and has as her victim Inez Jackson. Poor thing, didn’t you know better! James Hemphill is vice-president of the United States and has appointed 0. B. Newton postmaster general. Charles Bradsher is advising him on the matter of a sweet mucilage for postage stamps. — 59 —

JUNE CLASS PROPHECY— Continued Nelson Sturdivant and Sidney Walton are now prohib- ition officers. Sons of P. H. S., we hope you may succeed in finding- what you look for. Behold! There is “Jack” Drewry, justice of the peace, indicting George Bernard for writing the worst hand in this whole universe. “Dot” Young was seen just eating up a Latin book. Horace is now her love. Aileen Small writes poetry by the volume for a group of lovely idlers who attracted my attention. These were Margaret Andrews, Virginia Bulifant, Susie Downing, Es- ther Drake, Frances Smithson and Marguerite Tench. Suddenly, I felt someone punch my arm, and it was no love-tap either. “Say, sister, you’ve been in here all day. We’re closing up.” It was the guide of the tunnels. “Aw, become parched and explode,” I mumbled quietly under my breath and followed him out. Mr. Miller, you have always been of the greatest as- sistance to every Senior Class; but, oh, how you helped it out this time! The class of ’29 thanks you. — Virginia Perry. — Gl—
