CLASS PROPHECY A good assistant editor is hard to find, but at last I had decided to risk my New York paper for a long-earned vacation. But now where should I go? I chanced to wander to the air port where I met the well known aviatrix, Cynthia Van Valkenburg, a former classmate. We decided to look up the whereabouts of our old classmates, many of whom we had not seen since that memorable graduation twenty years ago. As we were flying westward we turned on the radio. There seemed to be a great hub-bub in the capital of Iowa. Oh, yes, then we heard what it was. Gladys Shipman had just arrived. She was running for governor on the Socialist ticket. Her strongest supporter was her husband (whose name she prefers to use only in private life). When we landed in Zone, a suburb of Fayette, the first taxi-driver we ran across was none other than Earl Wiler. We directed him to take us to a good hotel, and when he stopped before a fifteen story hotel he told us it was the best in the city. We saw the name Rainsberger over the door and after inquiring at the desk, found that it was our old friend and classmate, Dale. We found him in his office and learned that his wife, better known to us as Pauline Sevrence, managed the magnificent restuarant across the street When dining there later in the evening, Pauline joined us and told us of some more classmates in whom we were interested. Christine Miller is known far and wide as a model wife. Her husband claims that she is the best cook in the country. Mara Nell Morr is of very great assistance to her husband in his work as a research chemist. Robert Johnston has a fine farm near Fayette and is the head of the Master Farmers in his district. We bought a paper when we returned to the hotel. Two items seened to be rivaling each other in the headlines. One was that Kirk Powers, best doctor of the time, had found a cure for cancer,- and the other was that Robert Dennis had been named head announcer of the new division of television. Just think! Such great people from our own little class in Fayette twenty years ago. The next morning we motored to Morenci to see Donelda Hale. She was really quite radical last election in her beliefs for the Fascists, but she is once more the sweet loving wife who is a great help to her husband and his theatre business. That afternoon we headed for Columbus, where we learned that Rex Johnston had been appointed head of Ohio's newly created Agricultural Department Here we also found Mavis Marzolf in her dancing school. She specializes in teaching very tall girls how to walk gracefully. We accidentally found Merit Smith, who has a large garage. He is an excellent salesman, but he prefers to spend his time fixing up old wrecks. Merit also told us that Galen Wyse is touring Europe with his famed Orchestra Our next stopping place was Chicago We rushed to see our old friend, Donna Kline, who has the largest art school in America. When we arrived we found her visiting with Gladys Marks, who had just returned from Paris Gladys is a world-famous fashion designer. We read in a Chicago paper that Royal Davis is a great critic on modern language. Once again we resumed our journey and the next place we stopped was Denver, Colorado. I had some business at the University and whom should I meet but John Henry Alleman. He is the Professor of Foreign Languages, and best of all he likes that old subject we took in Fayette Hi, for he will allow no substitute to teach his Latin classes. Our next stopping place was Hollywood, where we enjoyed the day immensely with the great playwright and director, Ramon Culbertson. In San Francisco we renewed our friendship with John Ely. He is the most outstanding minister west of the Mississippi. We listened to him lecture that evening and I believe he has very few competitors anywhere. Winging our way back thru the Southern States, we decided to see New Orleans. We were touring the town when we happened to notice a sign stating that the world-touring radio crooner was to be there that evening. We read further and who was it but William Givin? We returned that evening and after the performance had a very interesting chat with Bill . He is one of the most sought-for bachelors in America. At Washington we went to see James Newell. He is said to be the greatest orator that has ever spoken in the halls of Congress. He has Webster’s voice for convincing and Clay's for winning the hearts of the people. From him we learned the whereabouts of many others we were yet searching for. Max Fulmer is the United States Minister to Spain, while Sylvan Waldfogel is in Paris and has completely taken over the work of the great hair stylist, Antoine Our next stopping place was in Buffalo, where we saw Delmar Crisp Delmar is famous for his history books, and had a promising private class of five. Delmar's old pal, William Gamber, was at Harvard as head Basket-ball coach. We again resumed our journey and the next place we found another classmate was in Boston. Hal Vine had joined the circus as a flea trainer. Hal was always catching flies in the study hall at school. Hal also tells us that Loren Pawling is known as the second Einstein Once again we returned to our starting point. In New York we discovered Ardis Lester, who is still well known for her ability of playing the piano, and who always accompanies the leading opera singer, Jeane Owens. After our vacation, Cynthia reported back to the airport for duty and I to my paper. We hope to make this tour often as we certainly had some grand times on our trip, and we think it interesting to keep posted on the great accomplishments of our classmates.
