CLASS X PROPHECY W DIALOGUE between two sailors. Place-New York, Pier 61, Red Star Line. Time-just after the docking of the S. S. WesfUr11lana' and S. S. Pcvmlund. Characters: Jim and Bill, who had sailed 7 years before on the S. S. C. C. I. Bill- There are many passengers on this trip who sailed on the C. C. I. seven years ago. Jim-'tThat's mighty queer! There was a bunch on my boat, too. Bill- Who was the girl with the good looking shanks that just came clown the gangplank? Jim- Do you mean to say that you have never heard of Kay Levering who is May Bill- Jim- Bill- West's runner up? Say, who was the gal causing so much attention on your boat? i'Haven't you ever heard of Peter Clemens, the College Widow, who pals around with Bellows, the W. C. T. U. leader? l'Which reminds me, do you remember Arline Burnes with the blond curly hair? Well, now it is long, black and stringy. She has been helping Teddy Macmillan get members for the S. S. Society. Will miracles never cease? I saw Dotty Garner, the chief tambourine player for the Salvation Army, and Ruth Turner, an old man hanging over the bar. Was I ever surprised? I heard them talking about Morty crashing London Society. They say she's quite charitable as she is helping Bennett's Sewing Circlef' Jim-l'Speaking of C. C. I., Lois Whiting is head of the French department, Kay Bill- Mahan has taken Miss H'arper's place, and Marta Paulsen is planning 'to come back to visit her old Alma Mater. Did you know that Barbara Chapman, who is now slumming after having flunked out of Hve colleges, and Kay Scantlebury are making soap box speeches on Broadway? Jim- By the way, Ginny Terlinde and Helen Weeks, who hadnit seen each other Bill- for seven years, met at the Vanderbilt the other day for lunch, where Margaret Merkel waited on themf' The former Mary Beekman was on board with her seven children. Mary's friend, Carol Taylor, who is as usual calm, cool and collected, was helping her take care of her little brood. Ann Peterson, who was also making the trip, was simply horrihed at the oldest boy's not believing in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunnyf' Jim- I saw Jean Osgood on board and she didn't say a word or laugh once. Poor Bill- girl lost her voice! From various gestures she made, I gathered she had heard from Runny who said she had given the President a break and had agreed with him.', ' There goes the last warning bell so we'd better scram. Let me know if you hear any more news. S'long. 96
