Wifs Class Prophecy At thc- thirty-fourth annual homecoming of Roosevelt, a great number of old graduates of the school were? Ilflhlqtld strutting through the halls talking to one another of the days when they went to Roosevelt. Ap lllqlllflng reporter of the old, wellrestablished paper, The Rnrmlllm, set out to find how life had dealt with those former studious and very brilliant personages between the yours of 15327 and 1957. This young reporter of the 1957 journalism class first approached am tall, rather distinguished-looking gentleman whose hair had just begun to silver. On being questioned, the man gave his name as Mr. Frank Stacy, the famous movie director and magnate of Culver City, California. Mr. Stacy, it will be remembered by Des Moines residents, and by some members of Rooseveltfs faculty, was the 1e:1.dIm,: man in the Senior play presented by the June class of 1927. . Mr. Richard Ullrich, the former president of this class, was nvxt interviewed. Contrary to all expecta- uons, the latter modestly reported that he had not entered the field of politics, but is :L traveling salesman for Pgepsodgnt tooth paste, and that he uses his famous smile to illustrate the marvelous effect obtained by using hls produvt! A blue-eyed lady next claimed the attention of the reporter. She graciously gave her name as Mrs. Bong, and was immediately recognized as the famous Mrs. Dorothy VViltsey Bong who hos recently become even better known by the success of her latest artistic effort-tlnu interior decorating ot.tho largest cnlllvfiral in Rome, While the reporter was conversing with her, an artistic looking dark- hmrml man snuntered up to them and Mrs. Boaz addressed him as Mr. York. This gentleman was at on's time the lfrmnrlzzyfs staff rartoonist, and is now the head cartoonist on the Altoona Blaze. l.Vhile this uonversqtiou was progressing, a group had gathered around the reporter and his infnrmers. Names and occupations were rapidly noted and written down. Miss Ethyl YVag0r, one of the best-known char- acter actresses on Broadway, was present with Miss Gretchen Grnefe, the lending lady in Hamlet. The former Myrtilla Daniels, now the wife of the governor-elect of Texas strolled into sen what was going on. Following her came Robert Proper, a well-known Des Moines citizen Who edits the People's Popular Monthly, and with him was his cousin, Mr. Stanley Piper, the inventor of the rocket which is tu 1-nrry an expedition to Mars six months from now. The treasurer of the 1927 class, Mr. Glen Beinhauer, reported his present work to be professor of mathematics at Harvard. Mr. Robert Risser, who soon joined the group, is still a citizen of Des Moines, and though rather obscure, he has :L great deal to do with the happiness of his fellow-citizens. He is manager of the Iadios' ready-to-xvvnr department in the city's only department store, The Younker Brothers-Hurris-Emery-Mawsllullvlfioldl Mr. Stanley Swnrzman and his former 1-ollongue, Mr. lid Brownbridge now npproaclu-cl. chatting in an animated fashion. They had not Seen ezwh other for fifteen years. Mr. Swarznmu now lu-ads the lzlrgfvst ice cream factory in the world, located at Brooklyn, Now York, while Mr. Brownln-idgefs occupation, as is well known, is that of vrmmmics lealrlwr right llc-re in Roosa-ve-lt High. Two fnmous novolists :md poolvssos who had just returned from un extensive European trip on which they gatlu-red material for their next work weye present Together. They were Beatrice Flutter and Bath Xvnltvrs. They were overjoyed to meet ihexr to the old fri:-nd, Katherine McL:1ug:l1lin, who is now Amerimfs Poet L:u11'0z1tP, nt the- rounmn, The Reverend Miles Murphy, the best-known and most popular minister in the L-ity, gave n short talk before presenting the surprise-one might almost say the miracle-of the 4-vening, in the person of Miss Helen Lingenfelte-r, first woman president of the United Status. President Lingunfc-lter's promise to nttend the reunion and her arrival in this city had been kent in absolute svcrecy until she was presented delighted audience of old classmates at Roosevelt High School. Shu gave the main address of the evening and was welcomed home with uprnarious applause. Following thu P1'0SldE'lllYS speech, all the members of the 1927 class who had not already thus registered were nsln-ll ln put down their names and occupations in a register especially prepared for that purpose. The rosults, Tim lfmlmlup feels sure, will be interesting to the majority of its readers and tho list is herewith prinh-ll in full: Mrmmma AI:TER1PHTiSi6HHG style designer.
