Prophecy of the June ' 23 Class Speer was an English teacher, Cathryn Tacoma and Alfaretia Summers were language teachers, and Dorothea Rommel was the girls ' gym teacher. Edward Rosebiock was holding down a high position, washing windows in the north, tower. There were a few more of h s fellow janitors that I knew: Melvm Searcy, and Lester Schlesinger. As I was leaving the school I met William Stewart who had become a mail man. He told me that Francis Mulbarger had just been chosen candidate for preside nt of the United States by the Anii- Frohibltionists party. June McCaLp was his opponent and from all appear- ances she would be the first woman president. Bill pointed to a couple of men dressed in white, who were sweeping Meridian Street. He said they were Irvin Wilkins and Herschel Richey. I went out into the street and had a talk with them. They said they had lost all of their money by investing in stock of the Fireproof Hat Ornament Co. They said the officials of the com- pany were Julia Grenard, president; Florence Brennan, vice-president; Ressa Knight, secretary, and Catherine Blue, treasurer. I gave Irvin and Herschel my sympathy and as I left I told them to climb the ladder again. Irvin said, that he thought he would as soon as he married Ruth Kryter, because she was a millionaire ' s daughter. At the corner of Market and Alabama Streets,. Pearl Kerst, Harriet Clary, and Lena Basye were singing. I couldn ' t under- stand at first why they were singing, but I finally found out that they were drawing a crowd about Rollyn Zalser who was selling combs and razor blades. I was listening to the singing when Elvin Ryker came by me passing out show bills. He gave me one, and I read it. It was an advertisement for the great picture, King Tut ' s Love Affairs, to be shown at the Palms theater. The lead ' ng characters were Edward G. Hoppe, Ada Brundrett, and Marie Arens. The supporting cast was Ruth Bradfield, Helen Waughtel, Ruth Zorn, William Grossman, and Harold Rugenstein. The story must have been a wonderful love story with Edward Hoppe, the leading man. I bought a newspaper from Re. ' d Wilson, and sat on the courthouse steps to read it. In the list of people who had taken out marriage licenses were Charles Ceder- holm and Evelyn La Feber, Evan Steger and Mary Fultz, Vaughn King and Wilma Goucher, Elmer Jones and Nell Rawlings. The court news attracted my attention because Charles Becker ' s divorce case was slated for that day. Since I was right at the courthouse, I decided to go in and hear the case. Otto Broz was the judge. Edith Snyder was the wife asking for a divorce. Her lawyer was Emma Greenburg and Charles ' was Richard Stahl. Things looked black for Charles, because he had a jury of women. On the jury were Helen Cohen, Bertha Huffman, Berlha Kirschner, Adel Weiffenbach, Delight Schering, Mary Taylor, Norma Zobbe, Elsie Quick, Hortense Allen, Thelma Wiseman, Nellie Farrel, and Ruby Page. Charles ' wife won her case on the grounds that her husband wouldn ' t let her bob her hair. I left the courthouse to go to the monument. When I reached the monument there was a very large crowd gat hered around the water falls. When I got a little closer I saw the attraction was Benjamin White ' s bathing beauties. Ben always did have good taste, and he used it when he picked his troupe. Some of the beauties were: Helen Herther, Lona Gorman, Ethel Smith, Margaret Thomp- son, Naomi Buchanan. Danneite Holstein, Marcialina Holder. Daisy Harden- ing, Mary Ward, and Hilda Berndt. By this time I was fairly well convinced that the members of our class had climbed the ladder of success. I was posi- tive when I saw Margaret Hurrle and Dorothy Kehrein demonstrating the daily dozen reducing exercises in a show window. I started for the hotel, because I was leaving on the next train. My visit was a short one, but I enjoyed it more than words can tell. I dread to leave Indianapolis because I wanted to watch my classmates climb to even greater success. To all tho se who have in any way contributed to the success of the class of June ' 23, we offer our most sincere thanks and appreciation. Page Sixteen
