Sgg2=T H E G US HER Class Prophecy of 1930 It was the year of 1942 that word reached the world concerning a marvelous invention perfected by a great scientist. This invention was a device representing a motion-picture projector, known as the New Vitaphone,” which had an attachment for portraying scenes of the future. I wandered one day into the professor’s laboratory to sec how this machine worked and to get a little low-down on the members of the graduating class of '30. Arriving there I was shown into the experimental chambers. The professor, after greeting me, showed me the machine. I shall not go into great detail except that it appeared to be a mass of metal, lenses, meters, tubes and lights that were all connected to a large central panel. On this panel was the place to write concerning the future. After inscribing the names of the Class of '30, I sat back in mv easy chair and gazed wonderingly at the screen. After a short interval, a large room of an office building was flashed before my eyes. The gentleman at the desk was our notable President, Donald Goodridge, who had become a successful business man. The next scene was a large music hall where a concert was being given by the leading musicians of the time. The strains of a violin could plainly be heard. The player was Gerald Burdick. After his recital I heard the soft refrains of a pipe organ, and saw before it the organist—Leta Crandall. As the last notes of the pipe organ died away, I wondered what had become of Leta's twin sister—Letha. Well! The next scene revealed a cozy apartment and here I saw Letha Crandall Hibbard and her small son—Basil, Jr. Congratulations, Letha! I was surprised to see in one of the rings of a large circus that the ringmaster was Burton Buell. Whoever would have thought that “Burt would enter the circus? The scene turned to a vaudeville act where the leads of the chorus were Veronica and Phyllis Turner, doubling for the Duncan Sisters. Edith Gregson was then introduced and I was amazed to see that she had become a great novelist whose fame for portraying human beings was known throughout the English-speaking world. A large group of men and women were gathered in an auditorium, waiting for the curtain to rise. When it rose I discovered that the great speaker was our own orator—Joe Shaner. His speech was broadcasted through Station WGY, Schenectady, where I met the superintendent, Franklin Green. Whom does this scene of a girls' college refer to? Here come two familiar people—Helen Stone and Mary Goff. Helen, I discovered, was the Matron of the college and Mary was the head of the History Department. In a modern electrical laboratory was LeRoy Seely who had made great progress in the electrical world. It was not difficult to tell who that great drug store referred to, for at the president’s desk I found John Sherwood. A-ha! A scene from one of the great Olympic games. A number of young athletes are racing down the track. I did not recognize any of them, but as one suddenly took the lead, dashed through the tape and was hailed the winner, I saw our old friend—Arnold Miller. Doris Batterson is shown as the owner of a great beauty salon, and Ruth Husak, her erstwhile friend, is the owner of a women's reducing gvm. I did not understand this showing of the interiors of many beautifully decorated rooms until I saw the office of the interior decorator, Omah Perkins. On the lawn before one of these homes three small children were playing under the watchful eye of Flora Johnson, their governess. A scene of a forest was shown, and slowly walking along with gun in hand was the hunter, Jerald DeGroff. Again the screen became blank, but parts of the lives of the Senior Class of '30 will always remain in my mind. 25
