THE - CASCADE - CO M E T Class Prophecy Time: 1959. Place: Office of Harlan E. Mattson, New York, N. Y. (Enters Mrs. Mattson, formerly Miss Clara Bready, carrying a telegram which she hands to her husband. Mr. Mattson opens it.) Harlan: Mr. Winner leaves a bequest of $19.22 which is to be divided equally among the Class of ’29. Harlan Mattson was appointed legal adviser. (Harlan looks at his wife in amazement.) Harlan: Where am I to find all the members? (A deep silence falls upon the room while Clara is glancing through the head- lines of the daily paper.) Harlan: I wonder if Garney could help me. Let’s see, I better call him. Hello, Central; give me New York. I want to talk to Garnett E. McCollim, presi- dent of the First National Bank. Clara (reading from newspaper) : Coming to town, largest show in the world. Myron M. Gregory. Manager. Harlan: 1 always knew Myron would be a circus manager because he is so large and delights in giving orders. (Clara holds up to Harlan a picture of a very fleshy man dressed as a politician. He is pictured standing on a platform making a great speech. His name is Herbert Shanklin and he is standard bearer for the Democrats.) Harlan: He seems to be telling the people what a smart boy he was, a leader in school and athletics. Yes, that is Herb. (Telephone rings.) Harlan: Hello, hello, I want to speak to Mr. McCollim. He’s in conference? Call him anyway. Fell him Harlan Mattson, Attorney General for the U. S., is calling. (Several minutes elapse.) Harlan: Hello, Garnett? This is Bun. Why in the deuce did it take so long for your secretary to call you? Oh, you were asleep. I thought so when she said, “In conference.” Say, 1 just got a telegram that our Senior adviser, Herb Win- ner—you remember him, don't you? Yes, that man with the marcelled hair and b.'g voice. Well, he’s leaving a bequest, and 1 don’t know where to locate the members. Thought you might know. (Pause.) Harlan: Oh, you did? Well, that’s lucky. Thanks, Garney. If you hear any more, let me know. Page Sixteen

T HE - CASCADE - COMET (Hangs up receiver and turns to Clara.) Harlan: Garney says he saw two of them last night at the Crimson Sparrow night club. Dave Dea owns the place. He’s made a huge success of it. The feature act was a ballad singer called Madam Marilyn Montague. Her real name is Vivian Crum. Sure you remember “Crummy.” (Telephone rings: Harlan picks up receiver.) Harlan: Oh, hello, Garney. You again? Oh, you did! Well, thanks, that will help a lot. (Hangs up receiver.) Harlan (speaking to Clara): Say, he knows where two more are. George Bruneau is a doctor in one of the largest hospitals in the world. His head nurse is M iss Hazel Cosman. Together they have discovered a cure for cancer, and their fame is nation-wide. And Fred Berger is a broker in London and from all reports is the world’s greatest and shrewdest one. Clara: Seems to me that Hazel wrote something about Vivian Squires. Why, of course, she said he was a widely-known Smith-Hughes instructor in the West. She saw him in Chicago with a bunch of boys at a conference. Harlan : Well, we might look in Who’s Who. Some of them might be in there. (He takes a copy from desk and searches through the pages.) Harlan: Here’s the name of Hughes. Let’s see what it says. “Wesley Hughes: owner of a great chain of 5 and 10 cent stores. He is the magnate who ‘put Wool- worth out of business.’ His wife, formerly Jean Conrad, was known for many years as ‘'Ehe Broadway Beauty.’ ” (Searches pages again.) Harlan: Here’s Sandy, “Stanley F. Sanderson, general manager of the U. S. Federal Mint.” I’m not surprised. He always enjoyed handling money. Let’s see, here’s Monroe, Burt—I bet he’s the one we know. “Burt J. Monroe, Jr., director of New York dance orchestra comprised of Whiteman, Gorman, Ben Bernie, Jacques Renard, and composer of many popular songs, including the famous hits, ‘It’s Chinook - ing Tonight at Home,’ and ‘In School Days.’ ’’ And say, Clara, Murphy should be in this; let’s see, Murphy; yes, here he is. “Edward A. Murphy, Beverley Hills, California: Nationally famous Vitaphone movie star. His ability to laugh naturally and to say ‘bird’ instead of ‘boid’ won him a place of distinction.” And Oak, too, is here. “The famous singer, Mr. Oakley Searles, graduate of the Cascade High School and a German school of music; has gained prominence in foreign countries as well as the U. S., as a bass singer.” Clara: Well, well; now we know where each one is. Harlan: Yes, now we know and can divide the money. Let’s see, 17 goes into $19.22 how many times? (CURTAIN) Page Seventeen
