CLASS PROPHECY S'35 It is the eve of the year 1950, and millions all over the world are cele- brating the coming of the new year. One of the most hilarious New Year's parties is going on in a smart Hollywood penthouse, where the Torrance High Class of Summer '35 is holding its reunion. Our host is none other than the well-known bachelor and man-about-town, whose name we see so often in the scandal col-yums coupled with names of wealthy widows, young divorcees, and lovely actresses. He is hobnobbing in the corner with our former little angel, lone Green, notorious night club hostess. Here are three old friends: Martha Greaves, the world-famous aviatrix, who recently made a non-stop flight around the world: Olive Belle Huber, society matron, and president of a dozen women's clubs: and Vee Kasper. Vee tells us that Hubert, who has made his millions from the pretzel business, will be late, for he is interviewing Jay Slover. who has invented a machine to twist 100.000 pretzels a minute. Raising a great hullabaloo in the corner is Hal Smith, now turned travel- ing evangelist, but still trying to revive his old heartbeat, Bettye Stevenson, who is running a sanitarium for broken-down gigilos. Among her patients are Wesley Brady, Al Stevens, Raymond Tucker, and John Selby. Who do you think has been graduated with this class to become the Great Adviser and tell presidents, dictators, and kings how to run their affairs? Why. Julian Isen. that learned-looking creature mumbling to himself in the corner. CWe might have guessed itll Of course, every class must have its circus performer, and here she is: Jean Volz, the daredevil trapeze artist, who proceeds to demonstrate her art on a chandelier. And, not to be outdone by Jeanie, frolicking little Roger Mc- Ginnis, our old prexy, leaps to another chandelier and, hanging by his toes, tells us that he is now a member of the Torrance Fire Department and the star tackle on the football team, which recently defeated the Narbonne Barbers, coached by Johnny Nady. We don't need to be told that Roger's better half is the former Miss Janet Mastri. Janet and Roger remind us that we haven't yet seen the inseparbales. but, peering behind a palm tree in the roof garden, we find them--Bud and Mary Anne-still holding hands. Do we hear music? Ah, yes! Those red-headed hot spots of radio, Waneta Mullen and Margaret Kibbe, who have left their domestic duties be- hind them to burn up the ether with their blues songs. Here's a juicy bit of gossip! Remember Elly Levy? It seems 'that while she was traveling in Arabia, she was kidnapped by a bandit sheik with whom she fell so violently in love that she decided to stay with him forever. Our big he-man, Guy Bartels, tells us that he is now doubling in the movies for Tarzan, and is considering a position as strong man with Barnum and Bailey, their former strong man, Jimmie Coil, having left to shoot lions in Africa. Gossiping in a contented little group are four happy matrons, Bea Riley, Mildred Lukes, Fern Wright, and Jane Burkett: and in another group, not quite so contented, are those gay divorcees, Reva Hinkle, Marie Smith, Joy Heglie. and Maycie George, fighting over that irresistible acme of masculinity, Bob Wertz, well-known Walteria business man. And who is this graceful couple tripping the light fantastic in the center of the room? Adjusting the old specs, and peering closer, we discover that they are those famous dancing partners, Betty Adams and Garland Johnson, l26l
