Witnesseth- Florence Elliott, James Cahill, Marjorie Locy. PROPHECY Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along. Thus said Junior Jac- roux as he and Bob rolled along the highway on their balloon tired roller skates, an invention of J unior's brother, Alfred, while searching for something soft. It was a crisp January morning in 1938, but although snow banks piled high on either side, the roads were wonderful, thanks to Robert Hobbs' new steam-heated, road-bed system for winter weather. They had left their rooms at the luxurious New Heathman hotel in Portland early that morning and, after breakfasting in the hotel grill oper- ated by Velma Selle, and Clara Smart, had started on their long journey across the continent to Washington D. C., to visit President Herbert Col- lins. It was J unior's intention to write a book on the benefits derived from riding on eight wheels, and he asked Robert Hobbs to accompany him on his tour. As they passed through Salt Lake City they stopped at John Jaekels' drug store to stock up with a supply of Brooks' peach gum. In the same city they stopped in to see Leo Davenport who occupied the best suite in the Hotel. He and Maurene Green, famous clog dancers, were engaged in watching a game of tiddle-de-winks over the television pictograph, a device perfected by Hester Drury and Irma Davis. Page Nineteen

Here they were stopped by traffic officer Claude Miller and informed that they had a flat tire. They noticed a great change in Claude since the days of '28. His hair was a flaming red and one arm had been shot off in a Chicago raid. Claude invited them out to spend the evening with him and talk over the good old days in G. H. S. While there he told them of a number of their classmates. He said that Ted Musgrave and Jack Kelleher, senators from California, were attempting to repeal the twenty-seventh Amendment, which denied congressman the right to marry. It was rumored that Florence Elliott and Wanda Moore, prominent Hollywood Chorus girls, had something to do with their stand. Junior questioned Claude about Arline Loughary, though he knew it to be a touchy subject. He laughed and said that she was an old maid and had fitted out a house for her and her twenty dogs to live in with Myra Schuster living with her to amuse the dogs in preparation for her pro- fession as a nurse. Though they were loathe to leave, they had to be on their way. They had hoped to reach Detroit, by nightfall, but as Robert Hobbs developed a painful blister on his heel it was necessary that they seek rooms at the exclusive Rice-Carlson hotel at Gary. As they entered the elevator the operator smiled and said, Hello, Bob! Why, Bessie Harlan, he exclaimed, of all places to find you. She explained that this was the only business she could find by which she could rise in the world, though her husband, Ray Olsen was a successful Ford mechanic. The next evening as they rolled into Detroit they met Elizabeth Hill, the famous detective. She had discovered, by a method secret to herself, what became of Elizabeth Bratton. It was found that after playing Fair Elizabeth in A. Spoon's light opera, Disappointments, she had run away to dance with Jimmy Cahill in Zelma Montgomery's stock company. Just as they were leaving Kansas City they met Marjorie Locy, an aviatrix who was sailing for Washington D. C., and she offered to take them to their distination. As they had made no definite plan they accept- ed. They hadn't gone far before Colonel Locy noticed a knock in the motor and they landed in a field. After a thorough investigation they found they were out of gas and began looking around for aid. They saw a near-by farm-house and went to it for help. Upon approaching the house they noticed a lady asleep in a hammock. To their great amazement they found that it was Mrs. Norman Jones, formerly Marjorie Barnes, of the class of 1928. Being unable to conceal their surprise they called her name and she awakened with a start. After talking for a few minutes Marjorie picked up a newspaper that was laying on the ground, and there on the front page of the sport section was the picture of our two class mates, Kathryn Allison and Blossom Hardin, famed animal huntresses, just home Page Twenty
