EDWARD PRICE Eddie Lelawala '27g Pickles '26: Come Out of the Kitchen '?.5: Business Manager T.N.T. '25 '26: . Schumann Society '2'T. Never be it said of him that man is fickle. .' sf SENIOR GLASS PROPHECY '28 N a lovely spring afternoon in 1935 Mr. Louis Cramer, president of the alumni association of Torrance High School, had just completed this plans for attending the International Undertakers' Convention when his private Secretary, Maxine Brown, entered his office and announced that there was a young woman waiting to speak to him. . , Close behind him followed a tall, slender woman of the dark vampish type. I ,I Louis jumped to his feet. Why, it can't be Nellie Middleton, my old school chum from Torrance High? Then he stopped short as he noticed the anxious look on her face, What can I do for you? Are you in trouble? I should say so. Here my third husband has just decided, on the spur of the moment, to lose his entire fortune and pass from this world. Now I have to make the arrangements for his funeral. ' Too bad, consoled Louis, won't you sit down? And when she was seated, I didn't see you at the last alumni meeting. Nearly all theothers were there, but I don't believe you've kept in very close touch with your old friends. l Oh! Tell me about them. exclaimed Nellie. Of course, if you are interested at this time -Louis began doubtfully. Certainly, such a time as this is the only time I'll ever talk to you, said Nellie impatiently. Well, at the meeting last month we elected officers for the coming year. Vivian Beckwith is the treasurer and she doubtless obtained the position because of her ex' perience in handling the funds of our Senior Class. She has been employed as model by a famous artist for the past seven years and she has preserved her figure and youth' ful appearance until she is absolutely a knockout! The secretary is Marion Vieths. She can write shorthand SOO words a minute and is working as a public stenographer. They say she is very much in demand. The faculty thought if she was tied by some cord to her Alma Mater she would give up some of her wild ways. The vicefpresident is to be Dick Danton who is now working in a mattress factory as a 'tester', an ideal job for one who needs sleep as badly as he does. Frances Haynes and Rose Paige were there too, but they spent almost the entire day givmg advice on married life so I didn't find out much about them. Nineteen
