-'gif The CPinnacle Bee-- 5Prophecy June 8, 1933. My Dear B-, The oddest thing happened to me the other day. It was the day after our class reunion. I was sitting all alone in the garden, feeling rather blue over the fact that I hadn't been able to get there. Suddenly I felt as if I were in the midst of friends, then I heard a soft voice speaking to me. I looked all around, but could see no one at f1rst. Presently I discovered a small figure sitting on a rose nearby. It seemed very familiar and for a few seconds I wondered where I had seen it before. Then I recognized it as the Brownie of our class year book. He was smiling brightly. Come, don't look so sad, he said. I can tell you what you want to know. Close your eyes and listen carefully. I did so and he began to speak in a low monotone. His tone was so drowsy and hisf descriptions so realistic that I seemed transported to the places he described. His voice drifted farther away, and I seemed to be in Africa, near a ruin on the border of a jungle, where a party of tourists had stopped. I was startled to see a lion rush from among the trees toward the party who seemed to be unarmed. All fled but one young woman who fainted at the sight. just as the lion was about to spring on her prostrate form, a young man opened a case which he was carrying and took from it a gleaming instrument. He began to play, and behold! it was a saxophone. Never had I heard such music since I left high school. It inspired me with a desire to dance. The lion seemed to be affected the same way for he paid no more attention to his victim but began that quaint old dance, the Charleston. I looked more closely at the man who had wrought this miracle. It was Bud Snell. Another of the tourists having the appearance of' a doctor returned and began to administer to the girl who in a few moments was revived. The doctor proved to be Morris Pollon, now famous. The party returned to Cairo leaving the lion still under the spell of the music. That evening they went to see a boxing match where our former classmate Kid Delaney, knocked out Gene Tunney in the 13th round. Later on the way home from the iight they discussed a new figure in the literary world, the greatest short story writer of the age, Miss Ruth Marchant, equaled at times by Fannie Hurst. The Brownie's droning voice went on, next to Italy. A crowded music hall in Florence was all attention to the famous Madame Galli Curci, accompanied by the no less famous Frances Cohen. In the audience were Nellie Tenbrook and' her friend Mrs. Lilly S. Mechanic who was celebrating her fifth wedding aniversary by a tour of Europe. In another part of the city was Ethel Gibbs, teaching a night class in French. Nineteen
