,-0 1 Qlllass ibrupberp As a crystal gazer sits and peers into his glass, so is one of the members of the Class of Winter 1930 gazing into his and seeing into the future fifteen years hence. Upon the surface of this glass appears the south poleg why, who is that flying in an airplane with his bride at his side? It looks like Lawrence Ley, and sure enough it is. I always thought that he would do some foolish stunt like that-get married, and try to run away from home. But he and his bride, Cby the way, she was Wanona Balyl, seem to be quite happy and expect to see where Byrd lived in a few days. Probably some are wondering where Law- rence picked up his bride. She was found playing the piano in the San Pedro Orpheum. . Here is Vincent Jorgensen. He is still working for the laun- dry and seems to be enjoying life with his wife, who was Inge- borg Nilsen. Their supper consists of milk, puffed wheat, corn- flakes, etc. You know she was a better singer than a cook. Poor Richard Ramsey is still going his rounds as a stamp collector and was found digging out some stamps in the fog, but Officer Walter Cadien wasn't a policeman for nothingg he grabbed him with his strong right arm and threw him'into the wagon. When he arrived at the jail, he found Tommy Hentila playing his violin for the prisoners. This was his charity work to drown his sorrow because his wife, Mary Mellusi, deserted him. The new bank is opened at Eleventh and Gaffey Streets with Teddy Rafalovich as cashier. He was so used to sitting around, you know! I see him reading a complaint filed by jan- itor Carl Tempe saying that ,better mops and more soap are needed. Jack Tuerk is watchman of the bank funds, with his bed upon the president's desk. The grand triumvirate, Florence Meehan, Grace Hagenow, and Doris Jensen, are now advertising agents for the Worth- more Real Estate Company and are recommending that we all buy lots in Happy Hollow. I notice that the director of the Hollywood Bowl is intro- duced as Miss Zoi Fahler. CShe won't stay Miss ,long.J Music hath charms. Are you willing to pay 355.00 for a seat to watch the newly-appointed leader of the Philharmonic or- chestra, Robert Hammond? He wields a wicked baton at his assistant, Eric Johnson, whose harmonica is a little out of tune with the fifty harps. 30

,as 4 Harrison Holton, Jack Frishman, Jess Brown, Fred Castag- nola, and Yube Ostoich have just completed a correspondence course in house moving and are now ready to move anything from bungalow 176 to the new Federal Building on the Plaza. Here's more power to them! ' Three graduate nurses may be seen attending to the needs of those injured on the airships operated by Mitchell and Lane Airways Company. These angels of mercy are Marie Forsstrom, Ruth Pugh, and Marjorie Carr. Three of our greatest scholars thought their brains could be used for something better than remodeling schools, so they decided to work in a fish cannery that has named its three boats after them, Josephine Huff, Marybelle O'Dea, and Alice Robertson. . It will interest you to know that Doris Rockwell is now play- ing the part of a boy in The Kid's Home. Don't forget to see itg you will also recognize William Bullock playing the part of a colored porter. The greatest dancer in this show is Miss Eliza- beth Baly, who is a rival of the Russian Pavlowa. The farmer in the play, you will notice, is Billy Melville. We seem to be most fortunate because in the President's cabinet I see two of the Winter Class of 19303 one, Dennis Eco- nomedes, who holds the office of Secretary of the Bureau for the Care of Wild Animals, while the other, Evan Williams, is Secre- tary of Education. John Pollock has accepted the position as President of Stan- ford University. In his inaugural address these words were broadcast from the great station DANA: I accept this honor, knowing that knowledge is power. I firmly believe in a higher education for the boys and girls of this great continent. Marjorie Belasco now has complete charge of the Belasco transfer company with offices in every large city in the world. Alice Sawyer is in charge of the office in Rome, and Erma Wal- Strom is in charge of the office in Hong Kong. They have a re- union every year in Watts. The Red Stack Company is fortunate in having as its senior pilot, Norman Kelly, who navigates the well-known skiff, Penurious. He sometimes has Jack Baker to assist him. And here I see a circus. The funniest clown of all is none other than Ord Shoults. You mustn't miss seeing the monkey trainer, Carl Metzger, who claims to have the missing link. The greatest finger waver on the West Coast, Walter Win- ter, has opened a beauty shop in the basement of the city hall. Audrey Wilson is queen in a one-room country school house. She insists that every child pattern himself after the Spirit of Dana. 1 I The crystal is now becoming so cloudy I can see only the words, Steer a straight course, Winter Class of 1930. W 31 -
