Up in the wilds of Alaskey Lives Miss Maryanne McCaskey And somewhere in old Quebec Is Monsieur Philip Levesque. Philip De Bucci and Estin Fatool, Have profited by the Golden Rule. Under African sun and lofty trees, They teach the natives the A. B. C.'s. Henry Corp and Ena Allard, Now compose popular ballads, Chester Barker in his inimitable way, Plugs them on the two-a-day. Emily Johnson and Doris Farr, After trying ten times have passed the bar And not one man whom they defend Has ever got more than five years in the pen. Earl Mulcahey, a fine young man, Is very brawny, and very tan, He's life-saver at the swellest beaches, Worshipped by the sweetest peaches. Bea Grogan and Margaret are down on the farm For they think farms have so much charm For the bright lights neither pines They make hay while the sun shines. Florence Goudie and William Ragis, Are now great detectives courageous. Tracking culprits to their den, Invariably they get their men. Betty Martyn, Lucy, and Enid Sherman Have each married a blonde German. They have fun along the Rhine, Singing songs unto the Stein. Thus ends the future of you all, And you can cry or you can bawl. But Fate has said, lt must be thus. So let us hope In God We Trust. Leah Conn l51l

Eileen Sullivan and Gertrude Terry, Operate the Joisey ferry. And Brackenwagen drives a car, For the Providence U. E. R. Bruce Watson is at last on the stage, Where he is considered quite the rage, His Macbeth and Hamlet prove without doubt, That Shakespeare was a pretty good scout. Alma Dietzel lives in Rome, Designing many colonial homes, But these plans, the Roman rejects, He prefers his Roman wrecks. Priscilla Clark designs chic dresses For all those having flaming tresses. Helen Phillips has sealed her fate, She's now the Dean of R. I. State. Robert Seaburg and Mary McHugh I understand have said, I do. Ruth Heaton has written many books, On the lives of famous crooks. Thorny Newton is doing He's captain of the Sing Sing nine. And here's about Elaine Hassell, Who now abides in an English castle. She certainly was the lucky thing. She happened to marry the Ccnut King. But Albert Thompson is one of the losses, At Macy's he's one of the Santa Clauses. But he loves the kiddies, and they love him too. So perhaps he'll be head Santa in a year or tvvo. l50l

' lf ml 2zf Ll42Mlfrli ll Ill llflwlmlllllulll ilfHilw,NillIimliMfA' :MMA Prophecy of the Class of June, ll93ll I was seated in my study listening to the beautiful strains of music played by Arthur Cuddy and his Carr and Barber Choral Orchestra. At the end of the musical numbers, the announcer read the following message to his unseen audience. This is station W. J. A. B., the Barnes Stores at Providence. At this time I would like to make an important announcement which, I believe, will be of great interest to the Cranston alumni of the class of '31. This is a nation wide hook-up and was obtainable through the cour- tesy of the Cowell Broadcasting system. The announcement reads: 'All the graduates of the class ofjune, 1931, are invited to attend a magnificent ball to be held at Bowen's on the Pawtuxet on the 13th day of February, 1943. We feel sure that all will show that loyal and loving spirit which so characterized the class of '31 by lending their much appreciated presence at this gor- geous ball.' The announcement is signed by Ellyce Thompson, President of the Cranston High School Alumni Association. Your announcer is Edward Whalen and we are now signing off at 11:05 Grogan watch time. Next week at this time we will have with us our guest artist, Howard Deignan, star of the New York stage. I bid you all good-night. As I relaxed in my chair, with closed eyes, I tried to recall the good old days at Cranston. What fond memories soothed my wearied mind! To think that I was soon to come in direct contact with all my old pals again! Oh yes, I had seen some of them here and there during the past years, but could it be possible that we were all to be assembled together in one large hall as in those days gone by at dear Cranston High? Needless to say, I awaited impatiently the evening of this reunion. . . . . . . . . . . . . It Was the night of February 13, 1943. I stood with my good friend Tom Carberry, well known district attorney, outside Walt Bowen's splendid ballroom and watched the large machines drive up and leave their passengers. Some came in groups, others-singly. Why, there's Bill Baker, Bob Bradbury, Tex Griffith and Sam Rossi over there, I cried. Tom and I hastened to them and after many handshakes we inquired about one another's affairs. In this way I found out that Bill and Bob were in business together and that Tex and Sam were coaching football out West. We were all Hi-Y men and gradually our conversation turned upon fond remembrances of the hours spent with Mr. Cranston at the Providence Y. M. C. A. Soon a group of young women entered headed by Ev King who is Secretary to Howard Snow, Treasurer of the Sweet Trust Company. This group included Rose Lodge and Ruth Warburton, joint owners of the L. 8: W. Business School. They accosted us and many words were exchanged. Have you read that Robert McLeod is going to join Merrill Budlong's Orchestra and that Gilbert Stone and Joe Hines have been appointed editors of a well-known paper? The papers are I52.I
