Class Prophecy New York City. N. Y. Sept. 15, 1928. Miss Elsie Doran. Principal B. R. H. S. Dearest Chum: While traveling this summer, I met quite u few of our old schoolmates, and thought that you would be Interested In knowing what has become of the members of the class of '22. I am now living in Washington, my husband being a senator from Louisiana. While at the movies the other night I was quite surprised to see that our old comrade Scobby was playing the leading part in Temperance , and Margaret Scalfe was his leading lady. Just being here a short while, my husband took me sight-seeing. Wo visited the high school where I saw Elisabeth Burns. Sho was attending the convention of the State Supervisors of Home Economics. While in the same building, who should I see but Ray Sommer trying to teach penmanship. That night Clark Rice, who was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, went out to supper with us. and who should my husband introduce Uio to but Albert Gladney, now a great politician. The same night when going home we saw a large electrically lighted sign bearing the name. “A. H. Fillastre. Dentist”. After the session of Congress was over, we decided to take a trip. The first place we stopped at was Cincinnati. Marcia Hammond, proprietor of u beauty t nrlor. was there looking after the interest of her corporation. We then proceeded to Chicago. There I visited the University, where I met Lucille Bauer. She told me she was working for a master's degree In foreign languages. 1 visited the physics laboratory and saw Joe Abramson, now a professor of physics. During the day I bought a Chicago Tribune . Looking over tho staff. I saw Aaron Abramson as editor. The article that Interested me most was the Invention of an alarm clock by A. B. Singletary. It was guaranteed to wake you up. Walking down the street. I was stopped by someone with a very familiar face. It was Alma Dodson, and she told me she was now a real farmerette, and James Macmurdo was living on the next ranch with Evelyn Sanders as his wife. Our next move was to Paris. There I attended one of the theatres, and who should be performing but Eloudie Donalioo. After the show was over. I had an interview with her. She asked me if I had seen Ross Prewett who had gone into business in Paris. On our way from Paris to Berlin I met Vivian LeDoux on the train. She told me she was an interpreter of French to an American family traveling abroad. She also mentioned that she was going to visit Pearl Denoux, who was a nurse in one of the large hospitals. While In Berlin, they were celebrating the crowning of the new Kaiser. I seemed to recognize a familiar face, and who should it be but Caldwell llerget, the Kaiser of Germany! I also recognized his Jester. Lamar Bauer. On the ship returning home while I was on deck, someone walked up and spoke to me. I was surprised to see it was Charlotte Brown, who was returning home after completing a course In declamation at Paris. After talking a while, she informed me that Freddie Chiddester was a member of the crew, and Verna Brown was the captain’s wife. We stopped over in New York. I was invited to a dinner dance given in honor of the Harvard football team. Millard Byrd was the coach. During the dunce I was introduced to my old friend. Anna Bcchtold. who now managed the famous Bechtold Academy of Ballroom Dancing. After the dance was over. I went into the dressing room to get my coat. Guess who I met? Freda Raehal. She told me she was a fashion designer. Her escort at the dance was Maurice Becham. assistant coach of the Harvard football team. It seems as though I have met everybody except Clara Griffon and Bessie Rex. But I have heard the rumor that Bessie has obtained her M. It. S. degree. Is it so? I have also heard that Clara has obtained her master's degree in math and has received an offer to teach solid geometry in the University of Virginia. I.ovingly. I.oila Mae.
