CLASS PROPHECY OF 1940 In their luxurious and modernistic apartment in Manhattan, Kathleen ' Walt, internationally famous dress designer, and Lucille Wolf, star of Oh Johnny , latest hit show on Broadway, are awaiting the arrival of their guests, the Class of 1940. Shall we listen in? Well, look who ' s here! — J. C. Fisher, eminent horticulturist, and with him is his wife, Lois Huelsenbeck, who served as his secretary for many years. — And that famous pianist, Ruth Whonsetler, who plays in the all-girl orchestra conducted by Dolores Stonestreet, just came in. Ruth and Dolores have just finished a successful tour of the United States and plan to appear soon at the Rainbow Room here in New York. — Hurry, and open the door, Lucille; I believe I just saw Daphne Harrod and Leona Weller get out of a taxi in front of the building. Hello, Daphne, aren ' t you the president of Vassar College? Leona wrote me that you were when she sent me a copy of her latest book of the year, The Phantom Strikes . — And here are the newly-weds, Mr. and Mrs. James Meyer. Why, didn ' t you know Idress Hoot was the yell-leader there at Dartmouth College until she met its Latin professor? — Excitement galore whenever those two eligible bachelors, Mike Walt, president of Trans- continental Western Airlines, and Glenn Riehm, his technical adviser, walk in with Mary Jane Crothers, better known to movie goers as Bette GlaMour, the queen of the cinema world. — And the engineer that is building a bridge from New York City to Long Island took time off to come to our party. Re- member him? Raymond Sylvester, and he brought along his fiancee, Rosellen Fischer, who was a former Follies girl. Shh — this is secret, but they plan to be married when Raymond finishes this job. — Girls, get your hair ready for here is Betty Schaefer who is coiffure stylist at Antoine ' s Beauty Salon. — Why, Marilyn Southern, when did you return to New York? I thought you were still painting abroad! Do you plan to open your studio in Greenwich Village soon? — Excuse me, but whose cute little dogs are these? Oh! They belong to Mr. and Mrs. James Ross and their performing dog troupe. Wasn ' t she Kate Huff? — Kate Rice is around somewhere. She left Panama to be here at the party. She helps her husband in his missionary work down there. — Vera Teders, where did you get that diamond? From a neighbor! So you still like farming, or farmers? — In case anyone is taken sick we have with us Aurelia Fortman, head nurse at the Metropolitan Hospital here in New York. — If everyone is here, we shall go in to dinner. — Oh, wait! The former Maxine DeHoff, famous lecturer and world traveller, is coming with her always late husband, Louis Lash, who is still trying to fix a tie which he bought in one of his own department stores. So after going to dinner and a theater, the guests will attend one of New York ' s smart supper clubs owned by Clifford Parks, who is also president of the Society of New York Playboys. To the Class of 1940 are extended all the happiness, success, and good luck in the world. May you reach the top rung in the ladder of success where fame and fortune await each of you in THE FUTURE YEARS. Page 14
