THE ATHENIAN PROPHESY For two or three years I have been employed by the government to make a general inspection of the manufacturing concerns in the U. S. I have been obliged to travel a great deal. During these travels I have either met or heard from indirectly every member of the Class of 1921. On my tour of inspection the first on the list was the Export Borax Company. I was admitted by a grinning office boy to the Superintendent's office. I was surprised to be greeted by a woman, but was still more surprised to find that the woman was Gertrude Park Do you remember when we were in high school Gertrude said she wanted to work in an export house? While inspecting, she introduced me to the head of the Designing Department for her extensive advertising program. Wonder of wonders, it was Roger Smith, one of the best designers of the day. Gertrude recently heard from Louise. I was taken back to hear that she is an old maid from choice, living on her income, and is always smiling and cheerful. I recently heard from Geraldine. She is bringing cheer to her large class of very little “alley urchins in the tenement district of Chicago. About a year ago I went to hear a celebrated prima donna give one of her famous concerts. She was one of our old classmates, but you never could guess who she was, so I will tell you. It was—well, we used to call her Eunice, and her pianist we called Leroy. Then we brought up Marion Jones’ name. I was informed that New York hrd just succeeded in securing him in that city. He is the greatest “human fiy” of the age. A great deal of excitement has been aroused in the country by the discovery of a deeply-laid plan to bomb the White House. The Pickerton Agency nut their best man on the case. Who did I say the person was? Haven't you heard the news? It was Mildred Till. The last time I was in New Orleans I went to the church to hear the celebrated Paul French preach. A system of public schools has just been started in Alaska under the very able leadership of Arline Hill. The “Twins” are doing a wonderful work on the aerial trapeze at the Hippodrome. Joe Weil has made his name famous as the best quarterback that has been in Harvard for years. Just listen to this advertisement: “Wanted—a wife; must be young and good. Write to Stanley Bidlack.” Evidently Stanley has made his pile in Wall Street and now wants to lead a quieter life than he has had for the last dozen years. A new chorus leader has been found for the Salvation Army. The great Mad..me Beatrice Hill has finally consented to give up her time to this work.
