June Latter with a true missionary urge has left the city and gone back to sophisticated nursing and hygiene in rural Michigan. Aileen Mix after putting her three sisters through college by selling afghans eloped with her doctor and has moved back to Pennsylvania in order to save on stamps and stationery. Would you be at all surprised to learn that Frances Ryan returned to dear old Ohio and has opened a shop specializing in boulevard statite lingerie? With all apologies to Walter Winchell, dear Herman, and trusting that you have been well provided for in your old age, l remain, The Mouse in the Lounge Register. CLASS PROPHECY A September, 1937 lt's ten years from the present and we shall see Where the class of i937 may be. ln far off Montana, is a swell dude ranch Run by Mary Jane Postal. The local branch Of the Y.W.C.A. is run by Bowers. She nurses the Indians in idle hours. Wondero plays for our nightingale Whose opera recordings are now on sale. lOf course we mean Olsonl And now at last Stern has a job she will hold to fast. She is the nurse with the New York Met And gives thirty throat irrigations a day, l betl Smitty is making money these days, For her new game Whatzie is all the craze. Dorie is probably still wondering When Bob will finish interning. Joe and Dan are honeymooning in France, With their nine-year-old son in his first long pants. Annie's in charge of the O.P.D. At H.F.H., and as thin as can be. Grant is the O. R. supervisor, And she doesn't look older, but does look wiser. Sprandel has married the perfect man, Bill cooks a meal even better than she can. Boyd and Ryan own a swell cafe, With floor shows and caviar every day. Thais is living in Bloomfield Hills, And her hubby, Judge Slocum, foots all the bills. The New Women's National Tennis Champ ls Kathleen Holton, and Peggy Cady Has published a book called The Lonesome Lady. Mayville is now a movie star. The Marie Dresler type. The Women's League For Handicapped Children is led by Speicher. And Kilmer is finding work a treat, She is head of the nurses on Henry Street. Elsie and Brownie are happy and gay, Their housekeeping and kids keep them busy each day. This ends our peek at the years to come, And while not very truthful, at least is fun.

C L A S S W I L L September, 1937 We hereby leave to whomsoever will claim, These things that we below now name: Wolfe her mules by special request leaves to Bell, And Grant is only too glad to get rid of her Wiggle. Sprandel will no longer need that certain look, Nor Wondero Frankie's little date book. Allie Sue her gym suit will gladly endow, And Sternsie her extra avoirdupois lpronounced avour-du-pawl. Niemi her crave for cherries does leave, And over her bangs Kilmer won't grieve, Now's your chance for the Blue Room on S For Calpin hereby forfeits all rights. Overnites all will be left by Miss Brown, And Cady her spot near the front lawn. Smittie is going to leave her Whatsie, And Kathleen her tennis ability. Bolton and Speicher their bugs do leave, And never will ask for a reprieve. Olson will give her Presidency. And Ryan we hope her residency. Postal will no longer need that phone, Nor Mayville her ability to groan. Callaway doesn't know what to give. Ruthie says you can have anything. And Andy still is wondering. I hereby leave this little thing, aturday nights And hope that memories of us it will bring. E. Kataja '37 -25-
