Senior Class Prophecy May 29, 1944. I hope you will forgive me, dearest diary, for forgetting you these last four days but I have been so busy that I have hardly had time to eat or sleep. - Now instead of writing down the record for each day I am going to sum it all up to- night, if I can stay awake long enough. Strange as it may seem I have seen or heard from every member of my old class. of '25. And it has been nineteen years since we graduated from G. H. S. I am Writing down every thing I've heard so that I can remember it all in future years. 1 So you see being a well known woman detective has its compensations as well as its dangers. To start with I was put on the trail of two dan!.I91'0US Cfiminals Wh0 had FCC' ently robbed New York's social leader, Mrs. Alfred OWOHS, fOF1'I19FlY Ruth 0X,1'19dG1', Of all her jewels, It was Suspected that her maid, Alison Grubb Was 3.11 21CCOIT1pl1Ce of the thieves. On the morning of the twenty-fifth, I boarded a street car. Fare, lady, I heard a voice say and turning, looked right into the eyes of John Smith. He called the other con- ductor, who was unmistakably Thomas McLaughlin. I made five trips, back and forth, to hear all that they knew about our old classmates. I learned that Wayne Lantz was a Boston policeman and that Roy Bishop was the inventor of the famous Bishop's Non-Skid Soap. his pretty wife who demonstrated the beautifying qualities of this invention was Ruth Broughton. Ralph Van Atta and Clarence Hankinson were residing in Chicago and conducting a chain of Van-Hank Groc- ery Stores throughout the country. When I arrived at the home of Mrs. Owens I demanded a private interview with the maid, Alison, and after a long talk was thoi oughly convinced of her innocence. Then we began to talk of old times. To a reader of this diary, although I hope there will be none, it would seem that I was more interested in discovering my old classmates than the criminals. And to you alone, diary, I will confess that I was. But to resume my story, Alison inform ed me that Mary White was a famous movie actress. She has been married five times. Her third husband was Thomas Bucy, who is a director at Hollywood. Chessie Young is touring the country giving lectures on Platonic Love. I under- stand that Burr Owens is her advertising manager. He got his start on the old Blue and White Annual. A As Mrs. Owens was out I left with the message that I would return the next day. Then I settled down to work. I went down to the underworld and started search- ing. There I met Harriet Glbbens and Evelyn Richardson doing social settlement work. They told me that Ruth Owens was now the manager of The Beauty Parlor of the Harem of the Maharajah of Myhowmuddy, India. She does all the marcelling and bobb- ing of the women's hair. Imagine my surprise to learn that Stephen Tuttle was the Maharajah. l I finally left them and decided that I really must start working. So after twelve hours of trailing I captured the lawbreakers. I Won't go into detail about the capture but will cut out the Writeup out of the paper and paste it in. Then with just as much vim I started to uncover the past and b present of my old classmates. . I learned from Ruth Oxrieder that Mary Latta and Ruth Dern had made a fortune from their books. The title of Mary's book is The Art of Handing a Line and the title of Ruth's is How to Attract the Male Species. Of course I already knew that Thelma is Secretary of State in the present cabinet, with Frances Fulton as her private secretary, and that Lucy Hankinson is in the United States Senate. Then, too, I had recently learned that Johnny Welsh is the World's Champion Football Player. While I was at Ruth's, who should enter but Marian Pierson looking as though she .

l - , Senior Play The Tailor Made Man The Senior play this year was A Tailor Made Man a four act comedy by Harry James Smith. The play is very clever with a different plot and effective dialogue. It ran for a season in New York with great success and then toured. The plot deals with a young man who rose to ahigh position by good luck and am- bition. From an assistant in a tailor shop he became afinancier and of course was suc- cessful both in business and in love. One unusual but very commendable feature of the play was that the cast included the whole Senior class, making it a real Senior play. The play was worked up in six weeks, a remarkably short time for a play of the kind. Much of the success of the play is duo to the coaching of Miss Reed and Mr. St. Clair whose efforts made the production a possibility. The new curtains and the scen- ery groatly facilitated the production of the play. The cast: John Paul Bart-A Tailor Made Man rr,,.,. .,,....
