January Senior Prophecy Look into the future—see others at the present! Fortunes told—fifty cents. 1 hus read the sign which confronted me some ten years after my graduation from A. H. S. A desire suddenly seized me to learn of my fellow classmates, the class of January 30. I entered a bright, gaudy tent which stood before me, and sat down at a table before a gypsy and her large crys¬ tal ball. Stating my wish, I asked her if I could learn about the 1930 class of Jan¬ uary seniors. Answering that she would do he r best, she warned me to remain extremely quiet, smiled, and began her mystic procedure. Dodo Larson, she said, the president of your spectacular class, is now president of the Harvard University, and is regarded as one of the best author¬ ities on Latin. He gives all credit to his teachers at Astoria high. At this same college, Howard Blakely is the Dean of men, professor in mathematics, and vice-president of the college. Your worthy valedictorian, Edward Simonsen, is now the grave, stern Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, commanding the silence of the multitude. Sylvia Niemi, your salutitorian, is assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, and hopes to knock off the first word of her present title in the near future. The scene is changing to Paris. Coming down the gorgeous aisle of the Paetow House, I see Bernhard Kekalainen, the most noetd dress designer in that city. He is distinguished by the title Benne. I perceive another of your class, a dainty lady, in this city. Envied and flattered by all—this queen of every gathering, the belle of every ball, is no other than Ann Pauling. Ah! a famous singer, a second Melba, is to make her debut at the largest opera in France this evening. She also graduated with your class-Esther Lofstedt. The setting now returns to America. There, a former January ‘30 senior is pawning his immense diamonds. Alas, William Paetow speculated too much and lost all in the stock market. The newsboys come shouting down the street. An immense robbery had occured, but the thieves had been captured by brave Sergeant Norman Thompson of the New York Police Department. In the same paper is the announcement of the marriage of Miss Dorothy Wilson to Edsel Ford, son of the automobile magnate. I also see a presentation of Hamlet, and in this stars Thomas Ely, the great Shakespearian actor. It is considered the succes of the season. A new scene—San Francisco, a large steamer from the Orient is entering the Golden Gates. It is carrying goods for the Koe Company, which is being successfully managed by George Koe. In one of the city s highest buildings are two of your former classmates. One, a woman of strong mind and will is lectur¬ ing before a group of women on How to Maintain Independence of Man. She is Elizabeth Paterson. The other, Edna Peacock, is devoting her entire life beautifying ugly women. Where there was once grey hair—presto! Dark, wavy locks. She deserves a medal for her excellent work. In this city is a stone building called San Quentin prison. One of your friends is making that place his abode for the rest of his life. Poor Leo Ross stole only one banana and received a life sentence. I also see a member of your class on the staff of [19]
