SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The great United States Clipper slowly glided into the bay at Honolulu on a bright day in the year 1950. Ethel Campbell, who was in command, was the first aviatrix to have charge of a sea-going passenger plane. On this trip she was bringing several very noted personages. Among them were Dr. H. A. M. Pearson and Dr. I. M. Pratt, two zoologists from the Aobhusa , known as The Association of Bug Hunters of the United States of America , 9nd Bethel Henderson, an ambassador from the United States. Besides other things, these noted people discovered during the trip that they had been classmates during their years at the Big Sandy High School and that all three were headed for the same place, the Capi- tal of Hawaii and the home of the Hawaiian President, Edward Beaudett, who was also an old classmate of theirs. Miss Henderson was on a good will tour from the United States, and the two lady zoologists had been invited by the President to find a means of destroying the bugs that were eating his pineapple crop. On arriving at the air port the three reunloned friends found that the aviatrix was their old pal, Ethel Campbell, who had also belonged to the class of '38. The four set out for the capital together. On the way they stopped to watch a picture that was being shown on the beach. There they discovered several more of their old classmates, Ervin Bahn- miller, the matinee idol of the day; his leading lady, Helen LaBuda; and the champion wo- man surf-board rider of the day, Ethel Monson, who was doubling for Helen in some of the scenes. Of course the three dropped what they were doing and joined their friends. The seven of them hadn’t gone but a few more feet when who should they run into but John Hul- tin selling ear muffs, and Jo Marie McSweeney, a sunhelmet saleswoman. They had decided to combine the two businesses but Jo couldn’t decide whether they should call it the Hultin and McSweeney Incorporated or just Hultin and Company. When they saw their old friends, they stopped arguing long enough to say that there were several others of the 1938 class that were living on the Islands. At this remark the other eight remembered that they knew of different members of the class that were living there. Ethel said she had seen Iris Peterson, who was a traveling companion for a rich old lady. But Iris wasn’t much worried because she hoped to marry the son soon. They found Iris on a dude ranch owned by Inez McConkey, thereby killing two birds with one stone, Inez also being a classmate. Helen and Irene remembered George (bring em back alive) Quander, a big game hunter in connection with their zoological association. They found George alright, but he was having quite a time with one of his monkey cages. Chester Stack, who had fallen heir to a fortune, had taken up butterfly chasing as a hobby, and had run into one of George’s monkey cages by accident and made quite a disturbance before he was released. After this incident, Jo Marie said that she had seen Edward Trepina, who had just opened his beauty parlor, the Eddy Salon; and Willoa Tingley, who was trying to teach the natives physics. At the men- tion of teaching something, Bethel said that she had heard that Missionary Elma Shore and her assistant, Dewey Williford, who had turned over a new leaf upon learning the evils of mankind, were somewhere in Hawaii. When the reunited class found them, they had just opened a roof-garden because as they said there seemed to be no savages left In Hawaii. Elma told them of two more members. They were Gregory Henderson, who was star gazing on top of a dead volcano, and Viola Jappe, who had crossed pineapples and coconuts to produce pineapple milk. When they counted up the number of members that were there, they found there were twenty counting the President. Someone suggested telephoning the President and telling him of their reunion and see- ing if he knew of any other classmates close at hand. President Ed. told them all to come up to the capital. As they entered a great banquet hall; they found seated there eight more of their class: Marjory Hill, the President’s certified public accountant; George Jurenka, his butcher; Lillian Jurenka, his bodyguard against the native girls; Hope Rich- ard; his secretary; Richard Schmid, the poet laureate of Hawaii; Rebecca Sibra, publish- er of the Hawaiian Gazette ; Bessie Trepina, the capital dietician; Gilbert Henderson, who was air conditioning the capital buildings; and Mr. Muchow, who had been their class sponsor during their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Since their high school days, Mr. Muchow had become the United States Secretary of State, and was in Hawaii on business. Just before the banquet was served, the old class was entertained by the great priraa donna Martha Kostecka. Martha completed the class. Everyone enjoyed themselves the same as they used to do, twelve years before, during their four years of high school together.
