awe 3 5 H3 2 2 Class Prophecy After a hard day at the ofiice we decided to go to the theater and enjoy ourselves. At the entrance of the theater there was a peanut wagon and we discovered that the owner of the wagon was Jolm Mathis, one of the class of '28. It seemed as though he was saving looney to get his Master's Degree at the U. of I. Approaching to buy our tickets, we saw that the ticket girl enjoying her gum so much was Genevra Zink. VVe talked to her only about a minute, but, my goodness, she talked so fast and hard that in a minute's time we learned quite a hit of news. Genevra told ns that Susanne Smith was now living in Paris and had announced her engagement to a very wealthy French financier. But,', Genevra hastened to add, she still corresponds with Casey, who finds it rather difficult to read her letters, since he must use a French dictionary or forget his embarrassment and have Miss Croker translate them. Miss Croker is still teaching in Ii. C. H. S. Presenting our tickets to Gail Fmerick, we were shown to our seats hy a elite little blonde girl in a Dutch uniform. It was Helen Moran. IVe then took notice to see who the brunette usher was, and it was Kathleen Manock! As it was a few moments before the performance would commence, I looked through my opera glasses. Glancing over the audience, I saw a sudden Hash. Looking in the same direc- tion, I discovered a large, brilliant diamond on the left hand of Isabel IIoyt. I suspected that the man at her right was her fiance. The lights were turned off and the Comedy was shown. The place of I.loyd Hamilton was taken hy Stanton Moore, who has become very famous in the comedy line. As the pic- ture was very funny someone started to laugh. I thought I recognived that voice. Using my glasses, as the laughing became more hysterical, I discovered Virginia Miller, who having forgotten her school teachers, cares, was enjoying herself immensely. VVe were anxious to see the NVorld News reel, which was next presented. The first pic- ture showed a familiar aviator. It was then explained that Jolm Ryan was the first man to fiy around the world in two days. A large picture of Marie Ekstrand was flashed upon the screen, telling that she is now considered the most important interior decorator in the world. She is redecorating the VVhite House and from there she goes to France. There had been a world typewriting contest which had been held in Berlin, Germany. Each country sent two of its best typists. As we were shown the results, we beheld Frances Yerby and Bernice Corbet, making their fingers fairly f'ly. America received first place, and both of the girls came from E. C. H. S. A tennis international meet was held in England. The American girl received the title of championship. How could it be otherwise when Frances Clemmer represented the United States? Suddenly I came to the realization that my hand was all wet. I turned to find the cause and there was Elizabeth Steer sitting beside me, crying as if her heart would break. I asked what the trouble was, She said that she had married Thomas Miller, and that Pud Fagotte had written her a letter wanting to see her. Her lmsband had become so enraged that he packed up his belongings and left. Poor Elizabeth had not seen him for a day! I promised to help her if I could. The main picture was then shown. The producer's name was Rolen Searle. The picture was very good. The two leading parts were taken by Bernice Pierson and Inez Smith. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and found Louise Anderson, who said that when the play t'Betty Lou' was given, a very prominent movie producer was in the audience and was so very much enthused about the girls' acting, that he promptly gave them a five-year contract. I asked Louise what she was doing now and she said that she was teaching school. The best part of the vaudeville which followed was an act by Mary Johnson and Marion Harper. They were dressed as negroes and their act consisted of singing and dancing. There was nmch applause and we felt proud to think that they were of the class of '28 of IC. C. H. S. The show was over. VVe made our way to the door, stopping to buy some more peanuts from Jolm. After waiting tive minutes, we boarded a street ear. The conductor wore a green sweater and had red hair. I ought to know him! I stopped beside him to get a better view and-saw that it was James Foster! I wondered if we would get to our destination safe and sound, as the car went bounding along. At last we stopped and proceeded to our home. It had been a pleasant evening, renewing our friendship with the class of '28. ? 2 THE ULMUS E is
