THE POST SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Dear Diary: May 28, 1 !)i S Today I had the surprise of my life. Happening into Atwood on business I saw a great multitude of folks, and 1 thought they were having a street carnival such as they used to have in Coranado Beach, California; for now Atwood is a city of 1,105,000 and where the ‘ol’ swimmin' hole used to be is now a famous summer resort. But no, it could not be that, for the beach was west of the city. I walked up to an important looking man and asked him what was joying on. ‘‘Well, stranger,” he said, “thirty-five years ago today, a class of young men and women graduated from the, then small, but well known A. T. II. S. The mem bers of this class have made themselves world-renowned. I like to think that I was once president of that class. To my surprise, the speaker was Carl Livengood, now retired from the C. S. Senate. We started toward the large Atwood stadium, where the class was to meet again for a short time and then a program was to be given. On the way we met Hattie Koebel, the woman who has, in the last ten years, given Texas such prominence that Galveston was chosen as the place in which to conclude the peace treaty between Siberia and Chile. She told us that -lack Starks and his wife, AT a, had already gone up to tin stadium with Mrs. Leslie 11arshburger, who used to be Agnes Meece. Jack had broken all previous records in the dashes. At the Olympic he caused the Americans to win. The next Olymp'c is to be held at the Atwood University stadium which can accommodate 500,000 people. When we arrived, Horace Phili ps, the great engineer, was telling how he had completed the Arizona to Pacific canal. Next on the program was Hugh Wyeth, now a grea‘ lawyer. Then Hazel Wilkerson, wife of Count Carbon De Oxide, mad' a talk on the latest fashions in dress. Clark Gilpin, a noted musician and Arthur Maxey a renowed singer, gave us a few selections. Three of our former classmates repres-( nts us in (lie Atwood University, Carl Thrasher, 1). S. (’., I,. L. I)., is Dean ol the University, Wilmina Cordts is the Domestic Science teacher and Wayne Reeder is Athletic Manager. He is noted for turning out winning teams. Kenneth Maxey, who discovered the “Good Luck gold and coal mine, gave us a talk on the north Pole. Walter Quirk and his wife have mad? a fortune running a goat ranch in South America. Percy Hofsas is now president of the U. S. Ste el Corporation. Edna Billman is a great success as an Athletic Sup u-viser of the girls at Oxford College. Mrs. Keith Kimmel, who used to be Ruth Hendrickson, is noted for her original ideas in the agricultural line. Norma Hussey is a famous film ■dar. She has just finished starring in a play written by Kenneth Maxey who is an author in his spare time. After the program Wilmina Cordts gave in a fine dinner. We all departed, having wished each other tin best of luck and a long, happy life. I woke up in the morning to find that this was all a dream. I had been in an accident and as a result had been delirious. But one thing was true, the smiling face of my nurse was that of an old class-mate, Mary Sellable. -Max Perrin. 23.
