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.

■ B. H. S. THE RESUME ■ Benjaman Bosserman has conquored gravity! By means of his device, the Gravitator, it is possible to resist all forces which tend to draw all bodies to the center of the earth. He steps proudly in his machine, presses gently on a small throttle, and immediately is in noisless motion, swift and sure. It is the first perfect machine invented. Helen Grise and Edna Fifer are happily married and are living in New Orleans at the time of this writing. Before marriage they traveled extensively in the jungles of Africa and obtained some very valuable data concerning the ancient tribes which infested this continent centuries ago. In 1950, Imogene Kress, was the first woman to be elected governess of the State of Ohio. Her votes were unanimous in all counties except Miami and Darke. The votors of these two counties feared that her flaming red hair would fire the state. The conclusion that Kermit Froebe is the henpecked husband of a troublesome wife is proven by the fact that he recently telephoned John Sipple’s grocery for “two empty barrels full of sugar.” John replied that he would fill the order immediately provided he could find the “side to one of the barrels.” Naomi Conway and Lillian Perry are spending some time in the Orient. It is said that they have gathered considerable data concerning the religion of the countries and are preparing a book entitled “Religion in the Orient Since Creation.” Marcella Routson was quietly married one year after leaving school. Her husband, a Mr. Shear, is operator at the Athenian Theater in New York City, which was completed last year and is the most wonderful and beautiful structure of its kind in the world. Marjorie Pugh is capturing Paris with her wonderful voice. So great in her singing that a high frequency transmitter is erected over every theater in which she sings, broadcasting her voice to the four corners of the earth. Dorothea Livingston and Ruth McBride recently joined the Barnum and Baily Circus and are very successful in playing the part as snake charmers. Pauline Marline has reached fame and fortune with her violin. She received degrees in two Paris music colleges, one degree in London and four or five in the United States. At the present time she is traveling through the Ethipean Empire in Africa, and is making a tremendous hit with the negroes there. The Regus, the black political head of this Empire, is overwhelmed with her enchanting music. Glenn Buechly completed a course in missionary work in June of last year, and is now arranging for a six year trip to Borneo where he expects to convert the natives by creating in them a love for his violin. Wilbur Hack was married in 1929 and moved to Clayton, Ohio, where he has become quite wealthy due to the fact that oil was discovered under his back porch. Jennie Yates, is gifted with the power to heal the sick and afflicted. There is a steady flow of people in her direction from all parts of the United States. She is working very hard and her relatives are very much concerned about her health. 32
