CLASS PROPHECY A Business Woman’s Diary June 10, 1950—1 set sail for France today in order that 1 might have a few days to become acquainted with Paris before I begin work as Antoines’ secretary. I am so thrilled! Coincidence has placed lmogene Kramer upon this boat too. She is going to Paris, then to England, and finally hack to Hollywood where she is to succeed Madame Silvia’s successor. Good luck, lmogene. June 14, 1950—We arrived in Paris today, and. needless to say, lmogene and 1 have been taking advantage of our opportunities. This morning a messenger brought me a telegram from Gladys Silver. She too is working in Hollywood, hut her business is designing dresses for Katherine Hepburn. This is just one day of pleasant surprises! I have seen Margaret McKenzie who writes stories for the McCall Magazine; she is having a little vacation here in Paris before she goes to picturesque Switzerland to gather data for her next novel. June 15, 1950—I am so thrilled I can hardly write! 1 met Wallace Parrish today. He is on leave of absence from the Chinese-Japancse war in which he is playing the role of Lieutenant-General—lie didn’t say in which army. 1 should worry; he’s taking me to the theatre tonight. June 16, 1950—Shall 1 say class? Ray Adams and his rhumba dancers were on the screen last night. He has been enticed to teach certain new-fangled steps to the movie actresses. Ray says that they like it, but 1 il wager it s mutual. July 3, 1950—Hurrah! Antoine said 1 might have a two weeks vacation, beginning in the morning. 1 have planned to remain in Paris for the Fourth; the fifth shall find me winging my way by plane to good old Asotin. Elnora Smith is to be the pilot! She makes the round trip twice a month. July 6, 1950—I’m home again—need more be said' A headline in this morning’s paper states that Ruth Wallace has inherited a twenty-million dollar estate. She is going to establish a home for homeless children when she returns from a trip abroad. I noticed that John Koppes, known as “Butcher, the Bearcat,” is in the auto racing game and wins with remarkable regularity. But when we remember that he used to make the assembly at 9:15 flat each morning, we shouldn’t be overcome by consternation at his success on the speedway. July 8, 1950—Tired! Tired! Tired! While on a long hike today, I met Dallas Olyear, searching for rare bugs and plant specimens. He is the Dean of the Science Department at the U. of I. Old A. H. S. has reason to be proud of her product. July 9, 1950—Today 1 have been reviewing the memorable ’35 edition of the Panther’s Purr. Curiosity was aroused in me by various pictures I beheld.
