Millet's skied herself to fame, in slalom and downhill. The rest of us just stand appalled, awed by all her skill. Pete's specialty is golfing on a very flashy scale, If she fails to sink a putt, the crowd, bemoaning, wails. Page swam the Channel years ago, and won the Olympic games, And now she's straining arduously to find a greater fame. Down on the Lynn Beach where folks go swimming, Beth's teaching life saving to earn her living. ,Ianet's swains are always legion, she never lacks a date, Now shels playing at Carnegie, and the concert starts at eight. Stuie's the superintendent of Hawaiian public schools, At the slightest provocation she cancels all the rules. The orchestra sets the rhythm, the audience is alert, For Smitty's singing Blues songs, and looking mighty pert. Her riding's won her every cup, and all the ribbons as well, So Sully spends her winters South training her Lulu Belle. Betsy has a business all her very own, She's making Canine Carriers to carry stray dogs home. Kitten on the keys, hot cha, cha, Cy's at the piano, pounding out the bars. Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main, Peggy runs a Sea Scout camp, and puts the gobs to shame. Chickie's mayor of Orange, NJ. From all we hear her rule's O.K. Johnny CI-Iave you heard? It's stupendouslj Has just returned from climbing Mt. Everest, Will autograph her book Qthis week onlyj at Jordanis book desk.

Class Prophecy, Year 1952 Sailor's cause is Labor in this year's election, Our fairy-footed glamour-girl is the future Mrs. Perkins. Our Bicky's been a-tapping ever since she left our group, And now we've heard that she's been asked To join Astaire's own troupe. The Sonja I-Ienie of past-day acclaim Was naught beside Bowkiels present-day fame. Rusty's eyes are still afluttering, her hair is still untamed, She works with dogs and pussycats, and cures the horse's pains. Browniels P.F.I. was high, her Christies were superb, Now a skiing acrobat, this Tarzan leads the herd. Wiz's virtues as a leader have carried her afar, She's teaching little Eskimos to use the Parallel Bar. Davie, Pm mad, I really am Qtee-heel, I won my match at Wimbleton, But was I sick at sea! It's june in Januaryf' and all the whole year through, For Marge has settled down at last, with good times none Ruthie schusses downhill, in the latest ski attire, And shoots Bottom-Up shots for Ye Olde Esquire. Gillam saw the funny side of everything in life, Now she's fooling Turkish heathens, as a missionary's wife. Jimmy took to politics and governs now in state, She upholds the James' traditions and drives a Packard 8. A dynamo of energy, chuck full of pep and vim, She heads Lou'pe's Remodeling School, and keeps her clients Stern, magnificent and regal, weight 207, Selma rules a reformatory, attendance 611. Twins are Shirley's specialty, She's acquired a set of three. If to us a like fate fell, Do you suppose weld do as well? Lulu's taken Ted Shawn's place, dancing on to fame, too fe w. thin But her skiing's not improved at all-we hear she still gets lame. Mighty with her humor, classic with her wit, Jess has the greatest public, with her ten-act vaudeville skit. Reiko crossed the ocean to get her education, And now she's teaching Phys. Ed. to kiddies of every nation. Grace from Milwaukee has fooled us, No Physio. does she. She's the much-married wife of a Beer Baron, With a house, and a family of three. A flash of red, a bugle call, the hounds are baying loud- Bierne hops into the saddle, and leads the sporting crowd. - I U81
