✓ ' Z miI E SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Time—A moonlight evening in 1938.. Place—A beautiful suburban home situated on Washington Drive, West Buffalo. The house is ablaze with lights; from the open doors and French windows, emits soft music giving evidence that the Buffalo stringed orchestra is present. The expansive lawn is dimly lighted by colored lanterns, hanging from the trees; behind a clump of trees and beautiful shrubbery, facing a marble fountain, is a rustic bench. Characters—Various members of the class of 1928. A sophisticated young lady and a very handsome young man are seen strolling slowly to- ward the bench. Hazel Best: Doesn’t it seem like old times to have the old class together again. Just think, ten years ago to-night we graduated from dear old Buffalo High and this is the first time that we have all been together since. 7fasnft it kind of Evelyn and LaVerne to invite us here to their beautiful home for class reunion? Hasn’t it been interesting to know what everyone has been doing? From the appearance of this place LaVerne has certainly been successful as a real estate dealer. And Evelyn is just as sweet as she always was, but I wouldn’t have known her if I hadn’t seen her while at a friends’ heme last week. They had a television receiving set and I saw her as well as heard her sing. You know she often broadcasts over the radio. But come Don, tell me what you have been doing since you left high school. Donald Noel: Well, you know I always did have a desire to spe- cialize in agriculture and went to Bozeman for four years. After being graduated there I was sent to Washington D C —that was four years age. I worked in an office there for two years and then was appointed Secretary of Agriculture of :he United States. I wrote to tell you the geed news but my letter was returned and I later learned you were abroad. Hazel: Oh, I’ve been working all the time, let me tell you. I started cut as an interior decorator in Rocky Spur, which you know is a suburb of our renowned Buffalo, as a means cf achieving a start in my career as an artist. Then I became anxious to travel and study my work in other fields. Consequently, I’ve ben attending the Ecole des [ ' ' A A A . z y '

£ ' ,- .- y • jj H git 4 ) ■' I ' JLA2S OP 'ZQ Listen, dear readers, while I relate The story of the class of f28 On the twelfth of September entered this class, Determined all others to surpass. Prances was chosen to steer the ship And everyone else their oar did dip; She guided us with unfailing hand, And everpresent hope of reaching land. Then came Don, the bashful one Always jolly and full of fun. Basket Ball is his delight In all the games his beet did fight. Next is Hazel, stately and tall. In all her studies she never did fall. As editor of the Booster for half a year, Tapped out for herself a promising career. . In our quartet Verne always shown. Throughout the country his fame is known. All look upon him with due esteem As a member of our Buffalo Basketball teem. Vho comes next, why Nick, the lad, Eefs not all good, nor not all bad As center of our invincible five He never did falter and always did strive. Evelyn played her part in music and song, Thus mrking our voyage seem far from long; As editor of Annual and Booster she faithfully served Her praises for Basketball were not undeserved. And last, but not least, of Hay do we speak, A lad whose praises we often repeat. As captain of basketball he gave to his men An example of loyalty our honor to defend. And re seven Seniors of Buffalo High, Are launched upon the ocean, all barriers to defy, The harbor just behind us, the tide is going out ’ c shall reach the port in safety, without a fear or doubt.

' ' . s 1 A Beaux-Arts in Paris, for the last four years. Last month, I received orders to return to the U. S. for the purpose of securing one of the original Rembrandts. Philo on the ship I received a cablegram from Evelyn asking me if I couldn't arrange to come to Buffalo. Although my other work demanded attention I couldnft resist the temptation of stopping off for the class reunion. By the way, what's Nick doing? I haven't seen him yet tonight. Donald: Well you know he al 'ays did have a great interest in Yellowstone National Park and secured a position there the summer after we were graduated. He started in as a guide but finally reached his goal and is now General Superintendent of the Park. He has his dirigible The Buffalo at the flying field and to top off the reunion he has planned a trip for us all through the Yellowstone. But I'm dy- ing to know something about Frances. Hazel: Oh, haven't you seen her? She was looking all over for you. Sho's just the scone old Fritz of our school days, in spite of all her fame. You remember when we gave our Carnival back in 1928, and she was crowned Queen of Buffalo. It is rumored that she will soon be crowned Queen of Rumania. At first sho entered politics and was appointed U. S. Ambassador to Rumania where she met the Prince. She is now engaged in great social welfare work in that country, and came back here for a visit to her folks before her fiance claimed her for his own. YYho is that coming across the lawn, h'c looks familiar doesn't he? 1 hy it's nobody but Ray, the old sinner. Hello, Ray, come on over and give an account of yourself for the past ten y ars. Ray: HelloJ Hello, yourself I What have I be n doing? Well, you'd be surprised. First, I went to Bozeman and specialized in Physical Culture. For three years I was Captain of tho Bobcats and for the last five years, I have boon Athletic Director in tho exclusive Girls' School at Hendon. My Girls' Basket ball team has won the State Champ- ionship for the last two years. But let's go back and join the rest of the gang and you can tell me about yourselves on the way back.
