THE 1936 KRABBA Prophecy of the Senior Class of ’36 There is a period in every man’s life when he glow ' s lonely and he wonders what has happened to the Iriends which he made during his younger years. Being a bachelor and having plenty of time for meditation I had a habit of wondering what became of my pals of my high school days. Tonight I sat down to supper and being tired and hungry, I asked the cook to make haste with the vittles. The cook grinned and hurriedly told me that he had something special prepared for tonight. In a few moments he came into the room and presented his surprise, a dish of very tasty crabs. Crabs! Crabs! Crabbers! How I remembered that beloved title, Crabbers. Forgetting my hunger, 1 leaned forward and rested on the table of Gardner style created by the illustrious designer, Frances Gardner. 1 meditated on what had happened to the class of ’36. Slowly a veil covered my eyes and 1 seemed to see and hear the hurrying traffic of one of the metropolitan cities of the east, at the close of a business day. Mid the din of the homeward bound thousands, 1 heard the cry of a newsboy. “Extra! Extra! Famous dental pair, Robert Lear and Jack Love discover method of extracting wisdom teeth without pain.” Buying a paper, 1 read the main topic and glanced at the remaining pages. In the “Social Highlights” column, published by none other than Joseph Wornom, assisted by Jeanette Bryant. I discovered that Lewise Connor gave a reception last night for the movie heart throb, Bill Kelley. Those attending were, Elsie Lee Davis, composer of many popular pieces of jazz, her latest being, “Don’t Run Around With Tommy;” Joseph and Richard Braig, nationally known tap dancing pair; Otto Horstmann, inventor of the Horse Code. Robert M. Newton. Jr., superintendent of public schools, Bill Scott, noted for his originality as a stage and screen comedian, Margaret Smoot, writer of those Smoot Fables, Phyllis Fuller, noted successor to Eleanor Powell; Grace Quinto, Mrs. Einstein, Jr.; Martin Camnitz, famous model for Esquire; Jacqueline Ruth, famed traveler, and last but far from least, the first man to swim the English channel, William Laws. I folded the paper and began walking again. Entering a large doorway, 1 saw a huge man, who seemed to be very jovial. Could this be Irving Fuller? I saw him standing behind a bar drying beer glasses. He told me during his spare time as a bartender and pool room proprietor he had written a book on the much worn subject “How to Gain Weight.” I looked around his shop and noticed that a new brand of ours was on the market. I found out that Tommy Craigs anti Harry Kennedy, makers of “Crabweiser” beer that made Hampton famous, had developed a new type of beer. While looking around I saw Earl Councill gently removing some unfortunate chap, who I later discovered was Buddy Ferris, from the bar. I took it that Earl was bouncer. Just then some one tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and found Jeff Harrison who had grown to be tall and fine looking. He told me he had taken over the management of the Seaside Rock, the former Buckroe Beach. Then from a corner of the room, a peculiar sound issued. Going over I found Victor Heilman, August Kraft, Ernest Luke, and Thurston Wallace, each holding a glass of foaming “Crabweiser” sing¬ ing “Show me the way to Sit Down without Falling.” My thoughts quickly changed and next they took me into the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Shackleford. Buddy and Lihbv. (the former Libby Wilson) from the appearance of their home, were happily married. Buddy turned on the television set, perfected by Edwin West, and the reflector brought us the football scores of yesterday. The announcer, none other than Dick Traynham, told us that Coach Norman Tullington’s Not-A-Dame eleven extended their string of victories to eight straight games, by defeating Coach Owen Smith’s Cracker-Jack Cement Mixers team of whom Ellen Whitehouse was mascot, by the score of 9 to 7. A field goal by A1 Gmitter, son of that famous all American, Peter Gmitter, saved the day for Coach Tullington’s eleven.
