'tier s s ' I ?'gfi?zi1f CLASS PRGPHECY My large monoplane flew into a city of about twenty-tive thousand people. I was as- tonishedg for it was not more than Fifteen years ago that I lived in the same place, which in H329 was only a town. After I alighted from n1y private plane, which was piloted by Kenneth XVeigel, I called for a taxi to take 111e to the 111ain part of the city. IVell, to my great surprise the taxi driver turned out to be YVayne Ohl. I stopped for the night at the llarko Hotel, the largest and the best in tow11. I found out fl'O1'11 'VVayne that this hotel was now owned by Arpad Darko. After registering, a bell hop came to take my baggage. I was surprised again, for he was Vviiiikllll Miller. The next morning I arose bright and early and decided to take a walk to look over the old home town. As 1 was strolling down the street, some one called to me and turning around I saw a lady pushing a baby buggy. I recognized her when she came closer and who do you suppose this was? No one but Kathryn Hartman, an old pal of mine. She was now Mrs. Lester Ebert and the mother of three children, all boys. Kathryn invited me to have lunch at her home. VVe walked down the street and came to a Penn and Ohio office. I glanced in the window and was amazed to see Elizabeth Flick, talking to a man whom, Kate said, was her third husband. On the street we came to an Atlantic and Paciiic store where Kathryn stopped to get a few groceries. VVe went in and were addressed by Robert Domhoi'l'. My, but he was fat! Ile must have weighed at least two hundred and Ilfty pounds. He told us that he had been with the'f'ompany ever since he graduated from High school. After lunch we went for a drive in the country. VVe passed a large, beautiful farm- house which liess said belonged to Paul Pflug. At one end of the field I noticed an object moving around. Uoming closer we noticed it was a man who was talking i11 a loud Voice, and was going through all kinds of motions. VVe stopped and found him to be Arthur Theis. lle was practicing his speech and tiying out his voiee as he was going to give a series of addresses. He was a candidate for Senator from Pennsylvania. Since the gas was getting low we stopped at a filling station along the road. A lady came to tell us that her husband would be out in a few minutes. She was about to go in and close the door when I turned to Kathryn and remarked that we ought to know her, a11d so I called her back. XVhen she came to the machine, she recognized us. It was Carolyn Ilhl, and her last name was Laderer, of course. She told us that Leah Burkett was now spending a vacation in Spain, after having taught Spanish for quite a few years at Pennsylvania College for XVo1nen. During the conversation we also learned that Helen Kinsey was giving private elocution lessons and that Mary Marshall was a teacher in Jackson Township schools. On our way back we passed the Shirey and Birch Barbecue. I later found out that this was managed by Dorothy and Attemina. On arriving home I picked up the New York Tilnes. In it I found this item, 'iSmall Child Swallows Safety Pin. I read on and learned that it was the only child of INIr. and Mrs. VVayne Colniery. The child had been taken to the Grant Hospital where Faydean was Superintendent. The famous specialist, Clark Markel, was suinmoned immediately and also a private nurse who had been another member of our class, Betty Reilleyg yes, the chatterbox! I handed the paper to Kathryn. She found air item stating that Howard Ebert was now manager of a large store for men's furnishings and that Curtis Bicker was one of his best models for men. She also read that Lavon Meyers and Chester Zeigler were engineering a large dam on the Colorado River which will save millions of dollars by irrigating large tracts of arid regions. In the theatre section we found 1-Irwin Nesbitt's name as he was the proud owner of large night club. VVhile we were enjoying' our dinner Less tuned in on the radio. Some one was play- ing the piano and when it ended the announcer said that we had just heard Gretchen Smith who now had an A. N. C. C. degree. Gee, we were glad to hear that! Oh, yes, I for- got, we heard that morning' the Royal Gang advertising Royal Baking Powder which is used by the Chilill of Sahli Bakeries owned by Imojean Sahli. This company gives a weekly hour of entertaininent. Imojean herself gave a short talk on the powder. Kathryn said Twl-:NTI-Fulin

VVe had the idea because we were ,High School boys and girls we knew everything and had the world in the changed our minds along not we ever really knew of which made us realize was the Class 'Hallowe-'en was the dedication of the proud. palms of our hands. llowever our dear friends, the Seniors, soon this line and it was not long until we began to doubt whether or anything. The usual elections and battles took place, the latter that we did have something to us after all. Our first social step party, given at the ilotel Kaufman. The high light of the season new High School Auditorium, of which any school might Well be Summer was upon us and September close upon its heels and we found ourselves fully cognizant of our positions as Sophomores. This year was a little different. Our entire attitude towards the school had changed during the year, and instead of being green and downtrodden we had now become the sophists, the foolishly wise. Everywhere we wanted to show our superiority, and since the upper elassmen wouldn't stand for it, We took it out on the Freshies. lfly this time High School life had become more or less of a routine, and we felt, as always, a keen enjoyment. But, by the end of the Sophomore year, another change had taken place in us. It was with a touch of regret, but pride too, that we realized we were growing up. Our thoughts, aims, visions, dreams, hopes, and fears of childhood were passing into a deeper, maturer feeling and thinking. liy the time we had become Juniors we wondered how the school had ever existed without us. XVe were proud of our representatives in all fields of lligh School activities. ln athletics, one sees many names written large:-Graham, Ifft, Nesbitt, Iflvans, McDonald and XVeigel. in '20, in addition to these, Zeigler. Theis, Colmery and Bic-ker, also Iiogner, Grant, Hilleter, NVhite, Burkett, and llirch have been luminaries in Zelie's athletics. Nor should we forget Clark Markel who has so well managed our Football, Basketball, and Track teams. At one of our class meetings we resolved to continue the tradition of giving a Prom. Immediately we gave several bake sales and sponsored a movie, entitled Legion of the Con- demned, as a means of seeking wealth. In May it was our pleasure to banquet the class of '28, This most attractive affair was held in the High School dining hall. Then we beeame Seniors, having climbed the four year hill upon whose brow we stood and contemplated the past. XVe were soon engaged in the training and disciplining of many little Freshmen, whom we discovered, had in them the making ot' loyal Zelie sons and daughters. Freshmen regulations were formed and many were initiated into the loyal order of the Postage Stamp with the aid ot' gentle pressure on our part. Our next duty was to select our rings and make definite plans for the publication of the year book. The XVhole Town's Talking was presented in December in which our class won everlasting fame, Many are our hopes, great our ambitions and spendid and fine the friendships we have formed. If true sons are jewels, a mother adorning, resplendent be our Alma Mater's brow with the light which her sons and daughters of the class of Nineteen .Hundred and Twenty-nine will reflect upon her through the Iineness of their achievements! 011' ll '29 '1'wEN'rv-'l'1lrmE

She wouldn't tell me what it was for she wanted to surprise me. VVe walked to the Theatre as it was only two blocks away. Many people were walking in the direction of the show. VVe saw one couple that was walking very slowly. On ap- proaching them we discovered one of them was D'oris XN'innail. She told us that she heard Esther Shontz and Gladys Geis were in India as missionaries, Further down the street, we passed another party of interest. She was talking to herself and it was all in Latin. We listened to the sound of her voice a few feet away and, behold it was Alberta. Sing- loub! She told us that she had been teaching Latin for six years in Toledo. Frances was now married and her husband operated a large department store in XVarren, Ohio. VVe also learned from her that Elizabeth Barko was the wife of a Reformed Minister and was living in Nashville, Tennessee. There was quite a large crowd waiting to buy tickets for the show. XVe obtained very good seats up front, I gazed upon the picture in front of me and I was so excited, Ihit some man's bald head and boy, did he get angry! I couldn't help getting all worked up for there before my eyes was Elmina Bhame, as second Nancy Carrol. My, but Elmina acted well! As the final curtain was going down I began to realize that my visit was drawing to a close too. My surprises, I learned a few minutes later were not all over yet, for stepping out of the theatre I heard newsboys yelling at the top of their voices. Extra, Extra! Profes- sional Football Stars Engagement is Learned. Gee, I thought I would have to find out what it's all about, so I hailed a boy and commenced to read in big letters, Lee Gra- ham, Professional Football Staris Engagement to Jeannette Kirker, a well known society lady, has been made known to the public today at the Hotel Schenley where occurred a party given by the sister of the bride to be. I wanted to see what else was in the paper. Alas, I came to this piece: Ruth Rogner, one of the best song composers, in the United States, has been taken ill with pneumonia. I was very sorry to hear of her illness. I also saw this item: Saint Louis Cardinals to Battle with New York Yankees at St. Louis to- morrow. Throngs of people were at the gates already awaiting entrance. The thing that interested me was that the Manager of the Cardinals was a former schoolniate of mine and this person was Victor Ileilley, who always was a great baseball fan. Yes, and then I hadn't read all the news. This item was found on another page: Marjorie Rilleter has gained great fame as a famous toe dancer in Paris. The next morning, after spending a delightful visit with the Eberts, I bid them good- bye and thanked them for the wonderful time they showed nie. VVhen I reached the air- port my plane and pilot were ready to make the return trip. Kenneth told me that he heard at the airport that George Vollrath had become a multi-millionaire as a result of designing a new plane. He also said that if we reached home early we could attend the big football game between Holden and Patton High Schools of Kansas City where we lived. Holden's coach was now Robert Evans and I'atton's, John lfft, who both had been fine players on our Zelie team. Each team had big husky warriors on their lineups. XVe arrived home safely in Kansas City where I will again take up my Librarian duties, Kenneth's plans were to make a lone flight across the ocean to Paris and try to ob- tain the title of Second Lindbergh. XVe departed and now I bid adieu to my classmates and friends. L. C. VV. '29. TKVEN'l'Y-FIVE
