f-+:.'ff' - 1 N if-1 cbs cbs Class Profecy .Ll So many people of the 1929 graduating class distinguished themselves in various pursuits that we felt free to let our imagination run riot and predict the following accidents, happenings, marriages or what have you for them. If the predictions don't come true, don't blame us. We only lived here for four years. But all joking aside, here's what is going to happen fLicense No. 999,999 granted for the purpose of telling fortunesl : Who would have expected such a thing? Not I, of all people-but there goes Arthur Clough hurrying for his next appointment at the Y with a dashing blonde clinging to his arm. John Bossolt, as we all expected, has been a great success with his fiddle, enter- taining the employees at the Roth-Cadillac garage each lunch hour. Bobbie Fitting-our once dashing musician-can be seen each night at Tenth and State streets, passing the hat in behalf of the Salvation Army. Yes-I knew that he would follow that profession but I hardly expected him to stay in Erie. You know who I mean-Bill Getty, editor and owner of the News. He also finds time to be president of the Rotary, Lions and Optimists Clubs. Tommy Hitch, our sleek-haired hero of Central Hi, is now head of the life guards at the Peninsula. After twenty years it is rather hard for him to get out and swim but he still retains his voice. Don Johnson has taken the long unusued crown that Tunney left and sport's writers call him the most bashful champ of the century. There is a story rumored that Donnie almost left the ring when prize fighting become so popular with the fairer sex. Johnny Dwyer, is way up in the dough and spending it as fast as he makes it. He often frequents a Dine-Dance night club at Wesleyville, which is run by our old friend, Pasquale Bruno. Our class president, Durker Braggins, now runs a fish tug on Lake Erie. Roland McCaughan has surprised us all with his daring feats in Barnum and Bailey's Western show. It was his life's ambition and he has made quite a thing of it. Wee Willie Wilson combined forces with Johnny Winter and they run a JiHy errand boy delivery. Conrad Johannesen is now at the head of the Boy Scouts of Erie and doing his good turn daily. Billie Newton, our renowned Count of no Account is now on the stage with Patricola. Billie Sutter seems quite well pleased with his position as Hoor walker at Grants. He expects a promotion or pension soon. I wonder which it will be. ' Raymond Wagner now calls trains at our station and has developed a lovely con- tralto voice. Rogie Williams runs fifteen cent dances at the Bluebird. He has made this dance hall far famed and is able to get some of the best bands in the country. Jimmy Condren is flagging trains for the P. Sz E. Railroad. Truman Brown is the airplane attendant on top of the Strong Vincent High School taking care of the student's airplanes, while they are in school. He has es- tablished quite a trade by charging twenty-five cents for parking. Anthony Minadeo has quite a precarious position to say the least-because he now is Al Capone's right hand man in Chicago. Jeanette Albracht, Ann Nason and Stit Rilling teaching at a high class Uni- versity, exercising their usual ability and power over ah struck pupils. t NSunny Gosman, still trying to resign from her position as president of the Rouge e O11'6.H Tedo Baehr, Harriet Jones and Lucille Rorig, still visiting all the department stores, getting information on How to become beautiful over night. Lucile Nick and Marion Nick, travelling from city to city in an airplane, strug- gling to keep up under the strain of the bright-light Night Clubs. Winnie Nagle, a noted toe-dancer, side-kick of Ruth St. Denis in Gay Paree. S Pclrances Nagle, Senator from Pennsylvania, still debating in the United States ena e. Beth Hughson, has the leading role, as singer, in the burlesque show at the Park?'? 107
