 CENTENNIAL SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY-1930 This is station R.S.H.S. broadcasting from its studio in I he basement of the High School on a frequency of 3333 motor cycles, by authority of the Rig Sandy Radio Commission. For the first number on the program Miss Edna Jacobsen, our well-known faculty adviser, will give a history of the famous class of ’30 of the Rig Sandy High School. Good evening, ladies and the inferior members of the audience. Ten years ago the class of ’30 graduated from the Big Sandy High School and tonite I am pleased to tell of the accomplishments of the members of this great class. Walter Porter—Aviator. In his early life he pursued the study of astron- omy but he never caught it. Everybody always thought he would rise over the heads of his classmates. He did—he became an aviator. To his native town he brought great renown by making the first-non-stop flight across Sandy Creek. The only food he carried with him on these great flights was a soup sandwich and an ice cream cone. He will win fame by inventing a radically different air- plane. It will be wingless, motorless, wheelless and bodvless. After the unneces- sary parts of the plane are removed it will be found that nothing is left. Paul Christofferson—Hobo. He has traveled all over the known civilized world today. His travels haven’t cost him a cent with the exception of the trip from Big Sandy to Fort Benton where they knew him. He has that knack of making people believe that he is indispensable to the trip and so they take him along. He has learned how to boil coffee in a tomato can and how to shave with a piece of bottle glass. From our last reports he was in Sydney, Australia. When he left here he was riding the rods. Be on the watch, he may be back again someday. Violet Marty—Dancer. Violet was such a big girl that she was advised to take up dancing for the purpose of acquiring gracefulness in movement. Not only has she succeeded in acquiring this trait but she has become one of the greatest toe dancers of the age. In fact she dances on everyone’s toes. Tonite she is dancing in one of the Broadway theaters and every time she stumbles she is violently applauded by a packed house. Ruth Svennungsen—Opera Singer. Ruth has reached the height of her am- bition which was to become a great singer. She is aiming at the famous stars of the Universe. Tune in on your radio June 31 at 12:65 station KICK at Tzek located in the Jungles of Africa. At this time she will sing “The 1 nseen Being from her broadcasting station at Dentine Cave, 562 Gum Chewing Avenue. Gladys MacDonald—Musician. Next to Paderewski she is considered the greatest pianist of the under world. Early in her career she gained fame by playing selections such as “The Dance of the Nymphs,’ “Sandy Rouser, and “March On,” to the tune of which the students of the high school would bound downstairs At present she is in South America teaching the Hottentots how to debate and is also trying the effect of music on the savage mind. She seems very successful in her work. Vera Nelson. I'm sure you'll be as surprised as I was to know that era has achieved success as a noted perfume specialist. She writes that she gets a fabulous salary for smelling perfumes and passing upon them (I think she means passing them on). For the time being, however, she is teaching Domestic 1930 Page Thlrtaen

 @@(3i Science in a school in Stockholm, Sweden—perfumery is merely a side line. I think her vocation will soon be housekeeping as she mentions a certain well known Swedish visitor-----quite often in her letters. Marion O’Neil- -Chiropractor and Toe Specialist. As will he remembered, Marion also took up muses training at the Deaconess Hospital in Great Falls. She must have gotten into the habit of rubbing people “down and washing their feet, for she is now a noted chiropractor and toe specialist at San Domingo, Mexico. She is quoted as saying, ‘‘It is exhilarating work—the dear breeds show such platitude, 1 mean gratitude in my vissitudes, and yet are so afraid to protrude, 1 mean intrude in my work.” So far she seems to be quite successful in her work. Bernice Linn—Nurse. Bernice met wiili outstanding success in the profes- sion which she took up after leaving high school. After three years of hard work and practical experience she became a full fledged graduate nurse. For several years she worked at the “Pink Pill” Hospital in Big Sandy which was owned and operated by I)r. Paul Sonksen. Then she journeyed to Alaska to render her services to these northern folk. She is now located in Scagway doing her best io convince the most brilliant Eskimo students to go to Big Sandy High School as Mr. Bruner would welcome them heartily—to the new school he has built 1 here. Clarence O’Neil—Sheik. Clarence in his early years will be a sheik—1 mean a shreik, but later he will repent. He has become one of the noted collect- ors of the country, and makes it his business to collect cannon, bombs, and small arms, with his main office in Chicago. He has also become a highly suc- cessful manufacturer of especially cheap guns for suicide use, and will live to the green old age of Dl) years. Harold Stack—Smith-Hughes Instructor. He is now an accomplished In- structor of Agriculture. He claims that his unusually great success is due to Hie boost (or perhaps he meant “boot”) given him by Mr. Brawner. At present he is interested in establishing an agricultural experience station 33 1-3 miles due east of the north pole. He hopes to extinguish himself by means of these experiments, his latest success is the breeding of fine polka-dot hogs of various colors for ornamental and decorating purposes. The favorite breed seems to be green and white which he exports to Ireland for Parlor use. Maybelle Bury—Noted traveling lecturer and parliamentarian. At present she is working in the schools in Russia. She claims her great success is due to her early training as Pres, of S.A.A. in the Big Sandy High School and to the fact that she has taken as her motto “If they don’t like it make them like it.” She travels in the famous Porter airplane. Minne Madison—World renowned dancer in the Green-Witch Follicles. The craze for the dance “Instepitis” is due to her skill in interpreting it for the public. She made her debut in the Big Sandy Community Hall in 1935 for the benefit of the Starving Armenians. Mary Benbow —A novelist and dramatist of great promise. Her famous novel “The Silent Women” has been chosen as the best novel for the year 1940. Her latest Play “Where She Told Him to Go” is enjoying great success in the Big Sandy Opera House. The house has been so packed that it was necessary to give three performances a night. It has been noticed, however, that the greatest (Oantiimed on Page 18) Pagre Fourteen 1930
