She rang the bell, and as if by magic there appeared four apron- clad servants whom we recognized as Muriel Stanford, Mavis Todd, Ada Pulley and Millicent Mayer. By that time it was nearly noon and we journeyed down town for lunch. As it was quite a distance, we took a jitney and when the driver took our fare we saw the old speeder, George Dreiss. ' Cn reaching the downtown district the first thing that took our notice was a large barber shop, with the gilded letters Holmes Miller on the front, and looking in we beheld Holmes decked out in white, busily mas- saging the map of Curran Butler. As the restaurant was next door, we went in and recognized the manager as joseph Drobny. After we had waited a few minutes, . -3- a trim waitress came up with a smile and said, Hello, folks, when did you get back? and there stood Ethel Mullen, as full of fun as ever. Wfhen the meal was finished, we praised the cooking very much and found out that Juanita Scott and Newton Enloe were the chief cooks and bottle washers, with the help of Marie Baughman. Wfhen we left the restaurant and went down the stairs we saw a sign, XY, Neubarth: Money and Loans. Inside we found our old friend VVesley. He was wrinkled and humped, and we later learned that he had become a miser after being jilted by Maury Perkins. We walked a little farther down Broadway and came to the 'Who-Ziss Theater, in front of which was a large sign saying, Archie McRae presents Cora Bond. the lweamfifiil Venus of filmdoin, and Kate Forney. the

CLASS PROPHECY After the worldls war was over and peace had been declared at the famous Durham Convention of 1931, we returned from nursing on the battlefield of France, where we had been awarded the Legion of Honor for our extreme bravery. Upon arriving home we found that our places of abode had been completely demolished and the government kindly gave us apartments in the poorhouse. iWhen the keeper called to conduct us to our new residence, we were greatly astonished to see our old Student Body president, Qrville Canfield. As we approached the poorhouse we realized it was our old nerve-racking place of education, C. S. Vlfe were so surprised that we fell flat upon the ground, ,and the gardeners who were mowing the lawn ran to our assistance. As they helped us to regain our composure we turned to thank them, and whom should we behold but our old classmates Marjory Hayes, Christine Heller and Bessie Drobny. Cn entering the building we saw the janitress busily scrubbingthe floor. As she called out, :'Oh, Charlie, bring me the mop, we turned and beheld faithful Charlie'Price carrying the mop to the fanitress, Grace Leeper. She asked us whether we had heard the news of Elmer Troxel, and explained that while fighting in France he had been promoted from private to first-class private, His head swelled so that it burst, and a thousand Germans were killed by the flying bits of ivory. 'Afterhearing this startling news -7---

Un the street we passed a sailor in whom we recognized Lester Clayton. He had in school days always liked the MaCujrine life, therefore we were not surprised to see him in the garb of a defender of our country. VVe also passed a soused-looking tramp, carrying sandwich-boards advertising a dance at .the Iitsuzo Fukahara tea gardens. Maybe you think we weren't dreadfully surprised to find that this tramp was the remains of what was once our noble friend, Hubert Goodman. VVe went on a little farther until we came to a gath- ering in front of a saloon. This proved to be a Salva- tion Army meeting, conducted by several of our class- men. Henry Morgue was beating a drum, and Edna Marshall and Athelia Dwyer were singing Nearer My God To Thee in their rich bass voices, while Vivian Thomas interrupted them frequently with a fervent Amen, i v VVe then went over onto Main Street and the first thing we saw was a large electric sign reading Costar and Thornton Academy of Dancing, greatly surprised we entered and there we saw our graceful comrades, Jim and Margaret, teaching a group of High School Fresh- men to dance. They were greatly surprised and pleased to meet us and asked us to stay a while, but as we had not yet seen all the city we declined the invitation. We proceeded farther along Main, and met Roy Uhl and 'Alice Van Qrsdel, who, by-the-way, was now Mrs. Uhl, coming out of Mathews' and Taber's confectionery -9...
