'filrifvy ' i, arirgv' wksws, 3. r if 4 at . D I ,4, f. F, bl I . I i ,QA 'ALL- dy . X gtiifiilg., t F A - 1935 CLASS JPRUP IECY S I was walking nonchalantly down the street one day, I saw a ladder leaning against a building. Now I never did believe that superstitious idea that you would have bad luck if you walked under a ladder so as it was just in my path I walked under it as though it were not even there. Alas, though, iust as I stepped from under the ladder a brick came flying through the air and hit me on the head and knocked me unconscious. While I was in this condition, however, I was able to look into the future U years and see how the graduating class of 1935 would be spending their time. I was walking down the street when I met a minister, Charles Elrocl, who was jilted by Frances Armstrong, talking to a very grouchy fellow who was none other than Carl Wollenweber. He said that Harold Trulock owns a newspaper and that he employs Kelvin Perry, Merle Ray and Vernon Stevens as reporters. At the corner l bought a newspaper and saw that Bill Rutledge who owns a cabaret is featuring those famous dancing girls, Ila South, Janice Robey, Ruth Zeilinga, Florence Thomas, and Elsie Totman. I saw in the paper that Russell Evans and Maynard Farris were proprietors of a night club where Frances Cameron, Betty Ferrell, Helen Deputy, and Thelma Bell are chorus girls. The leading attraction on that night's program was the renowned dance team of Roy Carpenter and Francis Burns. lt seemed that the two night clubs are engaged in a price war and you can reserve a table now for only fifty dollars. Upon glancing at the sport sheet, I saw two names which I recognized, Jabbing Jimmy Walker, and Battling Bill Brownlee. The article says that' Brownlee had just won the world's iight- weight championship while Walker, who is a very promising fighter, had made one promise too many. He was being sued for a breach of promise by a prominent society woman, Ruth King. Continuing my walk, I overheard a conversation between Bob Tucker and his wife, the former Alyce Louise Smith. He said that Isabelle Zimmer, Estella Erton, Margaret Dowdell, Jessie Taylor 'md Harriet Roush had formed an old maids club and were doing very commendable work for an ur- phans home. Mrs. Tucker said that she heard that Vera Thompson, Audrey Willis, Ruth Sprecklemeyer, Virginia Smoyer and Wildenc Seaver have entered a convent. Immediately after passing them, my eye was caught by a news bulletin in a window. It seemed that the big heart balm scandal involving Hazel Shaw, Martha Ranck, and those two well-known play- boys, Will'am Rowe and Laverne Puyear, is to be tried on the morrow by that famous judge of the court of domestic relation, Walter Richart, and the attorneys for the defense and prosecution are Helen Slifnkle and Dsrothy Rash, respectively. . When I finished reading the bulletin I saw three of those famous men in white-street cleaners. They were Russell Allen, Charles Archer and Robert Archer. Suddenly I saw a large crowd -if beautiful girls approaching and in the center of them was none other than Billie Burke. On the other side of the street was a huge sign, advertising the Beauty Shoppe of those two suc- cessful business men, Kenneth Dowden and Carl Bloomer. As I looked at the sign, Earl Finchum and Wayne Bush come out of the door, followed by two ladies, Bessie Beckenbaugh and Margaret Brownlee, who seem to be flirting with them. I crossed the street and upon looking into the beauty shoppe, I saw Anna Lee Craigle applying a mud pack to the face of Marcella Dishman, Janet Beckham who had replaced jean Harlow, was reading a magazine while waiting for her daily beauty treatment. Mary Helen Gray was also working in the beauty shop as cashier. 'I came to a park and sat for awhile on a bench. And, as I sat there, I saw a couple approaching and as they passed me, I recognized johnny Bier and Elizabeth Bickerton who were deeply immersed in marital bliss. Feeling refreshed I continued through the park. In the shade of a large tree sat Russell Curtis and the Blank sisters-Virginia and Irma. They were both dallying their loops but Cupid had not yet made up his mind. In another part of the park were two park policemen, Ernest Myers and Lawrence Leonard, who were engaged in a game of dice. -..gf 17
