4 -EQLAN-O-LOG SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY U HE banquet opened as the Reverend Wintford Saint arose. It was the occasion of the 2oth anniversary marking the graduation of the class of 1924 from Piedmont High School. Although few of the members of the class were able to be present, the families of those who were gathered together made a sizeable crowd. The scene was the old familiar cafeteria and the calendars in the pockets of the substantial citizens were turned to the year 1944. Former fellow classmates, said Wintford, this evening endeavor to put yourselves back in the dusty atmosphere of the crowded halls and classrooms of Piedmont High School in the year of 1924. Fill your minds with reminiscences for this is a reunion banquet. We are interested tonight especially in the fate of our former friends and comrades, for this reason I will call on members of the class to relate to us whatever information they have gathered in the years gone by concerning our classmates. Before I do this, however, I wish to say that since our graduation Piedmont has been forced to build four new high schools, but our Alma Mater has continued to forge ahead despite this competition under the capable leadership of Frank Brown, the principal. And it should be with a feeling of pride that we gather here tonight to celebrate the an- niversary of our graduation from this school. I will now call on Senator Rioss Brown of California who will speak on the subject of Former Classmates. When Ross faced the class, a calm like the eternal silence of the old assemblies settled down over the cafe, It has been my fortune, narrated Ross, to look up some of the records of the members of the senior class of 1924. Living as I do in the bay region, I have been able to gather the following information concerning members of the class who have remained in this vicinity. As most of you know, Charles Porter Evans has recently been appointed president of the University of California. Margaret Quinn is the wife of the warden at San Quentin. While around the prison she frequently sees Harold Corbin who is serving a long term for talking to the con- ductor on a Piedmont street car. The conductor happened to be Bob Chapman. Marguerite Healy, who is a waitress on one of the ferry boats crossing the bay to Sausalito, frequently runs in to visit her old chum, Margaret. Allen'Dow has just received, the contract for the third junior High School building to be built since the original one was constructed just below this building. George Lavenson is now the head' of the largest department store in the West. Hazel Jochem, now Mrs. John Buell, is leading a life on the ocean wave. Her husband, Captain Buell, is one of the leading mariners on the Pacific. Harriet Kelley and jean Davis are running a florist shop in San Francisco. On a trip over to Contra Costa county the other day I happened to notice jim Elliott, Carsten Schmidt, and Lloyd Ludlow, working in a gang repairing the highway. Gene Sheffield, who is living at his studio, is considered to be one of the best California artists. His most famous work is a painting of himself. Mary Sherman, Alice Green, and Mary Baker are working as clerks in Lavenson's depart- ment store. Lloyd Donant has recently received publicity by starting a goat farm on Goat Island. Marian Martens, Gene Farrell, and Charlotte Palmore are all society leaders in the bay region. Weldon Smith has followed the career of an industrious grave digger and- just at this moment there was an interruption as Harry Brock, who was sitting at the speakers' table, arose and held up his hand for attention. Brock said, Pardon me, Brown, but I think that you have left outsomething very important. You have forgotten to mention me. Fellow graduates of Piedmont High School, recall to your ,L .
