the resume ■ ■ B. H. S. E= Class Prophesy Hollywood, California April 20, 1953 Editor-in-Chief of Resume of 1953. Dear Sir:— One morning in early January, 1951, I received a letter from Miss Lucille Pearson, the president of the Senior Class of 1925, of the City of Bradford, Ohio, requesting that I prepare a complete record of the life and present location of each and every member of the aforesaid class from the time that we left the halls of learning in Bradford High School to the present date. I am sure no one fully realizes the enormous expense and great amount of time and labor that the fulfillment of such a request has cost. But when 1 consider the fact that I have enjoyed my work immensely and am living in the hope that it will be appreciated to the fullest extent I count my labors as nothing. At the time which 1 received Miss Pearson’s letter I was working very hard to complete a romantic scenerio, but in order to comply to her request I immediately dropped my profession temporarily and began a task of research work which lasted about two years. Enclosed you will find a manuscript which is a result of much patience and untiring efforts which I sincerely hope you will find satisfactory:— Kloompy, the celebrated film actress is none other than Lois Basill. Her recent appearance in the rip-roaring comedy, “When Evolution is Philosophical,” has received nation-wide applause. At the time of her entrance in filmdom she had with her two companions, Margaret Hartle and Neva Monroe, also eager to become famous in the light of the screen. Margaret and Neva, however, were doomed to disappointment, for they did not photograph well. But, determined not to be ruined for life, they accordingly resolved never to marry and proceeded to establish what is known to-day as the world-wide famous “Hartle-Monroe Beauty Parlor” in Hollywood, California. Chester McCune early received the degree of “LI. D.” and has recently given up his practice at law in Chicago and retired to his large estate in Florida. He has become internationally known as a result of his success in the aversion of another World War such as was experienced nearly half a century ago. His estate is connected to the famous plantation belonging to Leo Hollopeter. Mr. Hollopeter’s estate is known as the “Iron Butter Bean Plantation” and the finest bananas in the world are grown here. His partner, Don Weikert, has succeeded in cultivating bananas one foot in length and two inches in diameter. Maurice Crowell is assistant editor of College Humor and is expecting to be Editor-in-Chief after the retirement of Mr. Comico, the present editor. Red Layer is chief fireman in the new High School building south of the City of Bradford. I am told he has no trouble in starting the fires. Mildred McBride is the owner of the “McBride Dairy Co.,” south of New York City, which has for sometime been a topic of national discussion. Raymond Lyons and Judson Paul are doing their utmost to negotiate a purchase of the Company at an outrageously low price, but Miss McBride is doing her utmost to prevent a scandal. Lyons and Paul are quite wealthy brokers and it is believed that it is their intention, providing they can arrange a purchase, to control the price of milk and cheese throughout the state of New York.
