REPLICA l93l Class Prophecy In the spring of 1941, two of my friends, Cora Daugherty and Verla Wise, and I, started on a cruise of the Pacific in the yacht we had bought in partner- ship. Cora had become an expert office girl and was holding down a life job with Hodges Bros. The rivalry of the brothers for her hand had resulted in her marrying neither but promising to be sister to both. Verla had become the leading Chevrolet saleswoman of the world. She says she owes her expert knowledge of them to the affairc d'amour of her Senior high school days. The man responsible for her choice of occupation is always near at hand to aid her in her work. I had for the last ten years devoted my time to writing and after much discouragement had three books published. The name of these were: Why a Boy and Girl Should Never Go Steady, How to Change Red Hair to Brown, and Memories of My High School Geometry Class. Yve were all three takin f our vacation at the same time, so we decided to c 1 gl u look u the Seniors with whom we had graduated ten ears ago. Hearm of a P t- 1- U n group of young men and women who had been deported because of some serious childish pranks they had committed, we thought perhaps some of our freinds were with them. We started our search April 20, and, after a four days, cruise, we saw an island ahead. It was not charted, so we girls, who liked adventure, decided to anchor and explore. We did so and what do you think we found? A thriving city called Scotchtown., as we could see from signs posted around! These re- called to our minds o11r enforced thriftiness in publishing our Annual. Since our study of Franklin we had earnestly tried to follow this one of his virtues. We wondered if Miss Warfel would have enjoyed our trip. We were very hungry and started to Hnd a lunch room. A taxi was hailed, and when we saw the driver, all three of us gasped. It was none other than ,Iim Lybarger. After exchanging greetings and asking and answering '4How? When?,' 'fWl1y? we asked him why he was here on a tropical island. He told us the Seniors had located here because they wanted a change after freezing to death for four years in the B. H. S. Study Hall. Then we told him to take us to a place where we could find something to eat. He said he would gladly take us to his home but Jessie. his wife.. was a ballet dancer and was never home, or so it seemed to him. Her love for her career was just ruining their home, he said., and truly I felt sorry for him. He took us to a lunch room nearby, and there we found another surprise. Pude Norcross was the proprietor and Marguerite Bloomfield was the head waitress. After eating an excellent meal we asked Pude to tell us about the rest of our classmates. He complied with our request. Wfhile we listened eagerly he told us: Earl Sutliff was managing a flourish- ing A Sz P store with the help of Evelyn Swanson, famous for her ability to sell people things they did not want. Wendell Fisk was an architect who had built lllost of the town. This should certainly be gratifying to Mr. Rutledge. the Industrial Arts teacher, to whom Wendell is responsible for his training. Daisy Davis was the Mayor, Pude informed us, and certainly ruled the citv with an iron hand. She had learned not even to waste her breath. Bob Cadwalader had committed suicide years ago because Cora Daugherty had refused to leave her position to marry him. Virginia Pappas was under the care of a trained ' Tm-nly-six
