CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from preceding page) learned that we had no special program for the afternoon, suggested that we go to the Variety Theater, now owned by our class president, George Sullivan, and see the screen's most popular lovers, lane A. Montague and Gardner Venderveer, in Passion's Moment. We thought that this was an excellent idea, since we knew the main actors. Counting his paces back and ofrth in. fornt o fthe theater, was Robert Adsit, advertising the movie as though he were calling the cows. One of the first attractions inside was the line of doling gurl-ushers in their spangled costumes. Among these were Margaret Hewitt, Mildred Prior, Edna Amerman, Margaret Wagner and Edith Pickard. This was too much — we were too weak to thoroughly enjoy the picture. However, the cartoon, the Kelley Kellicott Kids, drawn by Ruth Townsend, revived our good spirits once more. We left the theater in convulsions of laughter. Going back towards Red's garage, the ringing of bells aroused our curiosity. Around the corner, we found Maude Marvin and Martha Mercer soliciting donations for the Salvation Army, while Virginia Tyler and Ellen Chaplin were guarding the money pot. As we stood talking over old times with the girls, some- one yelled, Look out below! We moved just in time to escape a pail of glue which fell down from above. We looked up and found Richard Hoffman and Kenneth Bell putting up a sign advertising Bond Bread, with Minnie Van Wie’s picture proving to us that one must eat one's crusts of bread to grow tall. Back at the horning party that evening, we discovered Robert Browning banging his drums above the noise; Jane E. Montagu© standing on kitten's tail and Reynold Smith singing the Prisoner's Song. Having accounted for everyone, we decided that we had better get some needed sleep. We wont to bed feeling tired, but very happy and satisfied about our old classmates.
