I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.”—Patrick Henry. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ It’s the Eighteenth of April, Forty-five M PROLOGUE Listen, my readers, and you shall hear— Not of the midnight ride of Paul Revere— But of the Senior Class of ’32, Many of whom you probably knew. May you recall with pleasure that famous year! ’Tis the eighteenth of April, forty-five, And all of that class are still alive. Mary Bockus has recently returned from Reno, where she secured a divorce from her ninth husband, Rudy Vahee, on the grounds that he did nothing but croon. (She used to like it.) Bill Hampton, renowned scientist, has discovered how to keep sap from flowing in sugar time. Disregarding his agricultural education and the influence of the Future Farmers of America, Harry Kitts is now staging a successful appearance as piano accompanist for the Metropolitan Opera Singers, of whom Irena Merritt is the season’s favorite. “Izzy” McFalls has been in Hawaii for the past five years teaching the island girls how to do their native dances. Belle Henderson, an ambulance driver for the Davey Tree Surgery Company, seems to experience no trouble in her work. Joe Boulet conducts a private kindergarten and teaches his little ones mischievous pranks, new and old, to be put into practice during their high-techool days. The pleasure he derives from his work helps him to forget the sorrow he felt when his wife, Mary Bockus, divorced him. Earl Rickerson owns a bird store in Popes Mills. (Lovebirds are his specialty.) In the last election, Doug Egg eston was selected as the chief executive of our nation, and he and the first lady of the land, former,y Miss Elizabeth Bu.ger, are now coziiy established in the White House. His first official act was the appointment of Bessie Durham as Chairman of the Federal Department of Movie Censorship. Robert Scott, great baritone with R. K. O., was hired last week by Nurseries Incorporated to sing their babies to sieep, because his voice is so sweet and soothing. With Election Day drawing near, Doug Bulger has begun a spectacular campaign tour. He will prob- ably be the next ary governor of New York State. Ruth Gamble opened a national Matrimonial Bureau in Washington, for the benefit of all those “unclaimed blessings” in U. S. A. As a result of the patronage of her former classmates, her business has prospered. Silas Wainwright succeeded Rubinoff as America’s master violinist and will appear next week at the huge Dean Academy Stadium in Gouverneur. Lillian Wright has for the past three years been employed as driver for the Greyhound Bus Line, and has made a record by crossing the country in five hours and fifteen minutes, and killing only two hundred peop.e on the way. Anna Glazier, a member of the Class of ’32, from G. H. S., has succeeded the ever famous pianist, Pad- erewski, and is now playing for “Izzy” McFalls and her Hula Hula Dancers. The Very Reverend Ernest Washburn, pastor of the Nazarene Church in Richviile, will next week take as his bride Miss Margaret Cahi.l, one of his school-day sweethearts. Clarissa Tamblin, renowned hostess of the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, last week returned from India, where she has been visiting Mahatma Gandhi. Flossie Overacker has recently been sentenced to ten years as Mr. Paige’s private secretary. We suspect that their relationship will in time become much more friendly. Henry White has just returned from Corsica, where the banditti. he acquired expert knowledge concerning As the editor of the Town Tattler, Louise Nickerson succeeds very well without reporters. Margaret Whalen is now in the jungles of Africa making a news reel on the home life of the monkey family. This ought to be of great interest to her former class-mates. Irma Jeffers recently announced her engagement to of G. H. S. ‘Al Capone” Lashure, notorious baseball player Stanley Stevens has recently stopped chasing his red-headed friends, because he has caught up with them. Lula Narrow’s Collecting Agency has become so prosperous that, with her vast capital, she has opened a private bank, of which she is President and Board of Directors. At the request of Mr. Paige, the venerable principal of G. H. S., Myrah Worden has become engineer, conductor, brakeman, and fireman of the Spragueville train; so that it will arrive more punctually than it used to. Lady Ramsey McDonald the second, nee Winifred Pascoe, has taken Lloyd George’s place as Premier of Eng;and. Last month Edna Kentfield succeeded Norma Shearer as Robert Montgomery’s leading lady. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ i - + .
