CLASS PROPHECY Dear Mr. Vallilee: As you were sponsor of our class for three years, I rather thought you would he interested to know what has become of us. Of course 1 realize you are a busy man now, but I think you will enjoy hearing of our recent doings. The train sped along toward its destination and I began to get my baggage together. 1 could hardly wait to see all the old crowd again. Ten years! “Tempus sure does fugit.” After I finished college, a rich uncle died leaving me his fortune and I promptly went abroad taking along “Dutch McCauley. She visits me in my studio and is much interested in my success as an artist. She is a capable secretary of the Prince of Wales and her early training as a nurse comes in handy when H. R. H. comes a cropper. We ran across our “Sue,” now the celebrated Dr. Wright, who, with her co-worker, Dr. Ervin Torpey, has a brilliant practice in Vienna. They are assisted by the capable nurses, Helen Catlin, Josephine Coveney, Hazel Roberts and Mabel Smith. On a certain busy street in Paris you will find the exclusive little shop of Mile. Dorotee. You would scarcely recognize in this famous woman “Dot” Stuck. The years have brought her dignity and height. Imagine it! Letters have kept me posted on the doings of most of the class. Louise Macafee has had a nervous breakdown, due to managing a huge summer resort. Beatrice Manahan had given up the pipe organ as she said she felt so childish playing with her feet. Helen Maloney and “Soupy’ Campbell are expected soon with their husbands. Paloma Hulett, Esther Campbell and Genevieve Kinner are traveling in Egypt. I have just finished reading Harvey Rettberg’s latest book entitled “The Ghost of Lovers’ Lane or The Masked Bandit,” which is going over big in the United States. Bessie Hartford is a teacher of home economics at Bryn Mawr and Mildred Brown is a successful history teacher in Smithfield. It is rumored that the famous violinist, Adrian Rowe, is to come to Athens for the reunion. Of course everyone knows of the Johnston Candy Co., founded by our old president “Dick.” He is making a fortune in his consignments to Senior classes. In his employ are Hilda Page. Eva Newtown. Gladys Benson and Esther Montgomery, highly paid secretaries. I hear Gerald Bustin is a much talked about poet and Richard Keeler is astounding Europe with his research on spontaneous generation in Berlin. Raymond Horn is a rising young lawyer and a future political boss. Page twenty three
