CLASS PROP!-I ECY - Continued We hear that Ruth Baggett was not satisfied with the method of shorthand that was practiced, so she made up her own system which is simply not writing shorthand at all, but remembering exactly what was dictated. Miss Marie Arthur criticized the method at first but after many years of successful practice, she has at last said that it cannnot be surpassed. Margaret Bengal said she first gavie Miss Baggett the idea, but Miss Baggett firmly denies this, so Margaret doesn't get any of the royalties. Margaret was so disappointed, she thought of another idea and did not confide in anyone. It is a typewriter that will type whatever you tell it to write without any effort on your part. This was a swell idea until paper grew rather scarce. Martha Fae Rotchstein quickly offset this by establishing a paper manufacturing company. Elmer Hammon and Cecil Spindle have set up the Hammon-Spindle Funeral Directors, and Robert Dyer and Jack Evans are the chief grave diggers. Plenty long, plenty wide and plenty deep is their motto. Charline Markham long ago gained the title of Miss America. Now she is floor walker at the overall factory. Paul Porter is the most popular cartoonist in this part of the world. Inez Moorman had hopes of being a second Wordsworth but she gave it up as a bad dream, and is now the literary critic for the 'Hagerman Head Ake, of which Matalyn Lind- say is editor, and Verna Margaret Allen is the editor of the Grin Column. Wybeta Smith is a demonstrater of electrical refrigerators and in her spare time operates cooking school. H. L. Browder is the chicken raiser on the largest ostrich farm in Oklahoma. Ralph Pinkston and Golden Ruddell, poultry raisers, keep the Cafeteria in the High School well supplied with frying chickens. Mary Fay Porch and Mary Parker, co-managers of this cafeteria and Jeannette Guilloud and Brunie Fay Fisher, the foods teachers who prepare the meals to be served in the lunch room, find that this is the only way to get their meals free. Mary Bond and Marie Wineinger are the waitresses, and who also furnish the floor show when one is called for. Maxine Harshbarger is the cashier. In the block next to the school was a Paderewski Circus of which Rose Lee Nelson and Dorothy Neidert are proprietors. Dick Wilson, the death-defying racer, driving his two-wheeled car, was the chief attraction. Bernadine Lyndon is hired as the doll manufacturer. Cecil Gilliam is now ringrnaster, having acquired his training herding ducks. Mabel Lou Dunning is peanut vendor. Her services are very much desired because she had much experience during the Texas Centennial, way back in 1936. Helen Ruth Pressley is an organ grinder and has a pet monkey and Violet Coff- man is a tight rope walker. Nellie Mae Strickland is a jazz singer and hfer fan mail equals that of Jean Harlow. Doris Howell did want to be a second Miss Johnson, but since Winnie V. Short attained that position. she has become court jester in the Pad- erewski Circus. We were very surprised when we saw that Virginia Wineinger has taken up the profession of snake charming. The fame of this circus is due to the clever advertising plastered on billboards by Hull Allen, the advance advertising man. Leland Cornell used to be sheriff but he received so many shocks that he has decided to be a rose grower. Johnny Gibson was a deputy for Sheriff Cornell, but after a few shooting scrapes he has also retired. Margaret Morrison and Ruby McGee are seamstresses and both specialize in making men's shirts. We had seen nearly all our old friends by this time, but we asked about some that we hadn't seen. We were told that Vela White, disappointed in love and marriage, had divorced John Hoey and is now a chewing gum tester in the Simms Tobacco Com- pany. Virginia Houghton is the successor of Katherine Hepburn in Hollywood as a result of the class play back in 1936. Roscoe Parker breaks rocks for the govern- ment. We expected greater things of Roscoe, but he admits that it is the dream of a lifetime fulfilled. Mabel Hunter is making a round-the-world tour lecturing on Cat Culture. Mildred Young demonstrates aluminum ware to housewives. Glen- don Kenney has taken over Jimmie Jeffries' place on the Early Bird program. By this time our brains were in a whirl as a result of all this startling news, so we decided to call it a day. It has been wonderful visting our old friends, and reviewing the happy days of 1936.
