The fourth is a lengthy descriptive one. from Louise Manley, in England. The children have whooping cough and Rose McGarey, her governess, has ek»i ed with the chauffeur. Did you say it must have cost something? Oh, no, her husband is the owner of the International Radio-gram Company. The fifth and last is from Halys, in San Francisco, touring the country with her millionaire husband, the rubl er-neek king. During all this time who has arrived but Mildred Fairweather, owner of “Sunshine Home for I-ost Men”, accomj)anied by Hymen Yourish. who is considering starting one for women. Professors Neske and Henker are here with the state’s leading sjx rtsman, Hector 13eRose. Mr. W alker, real estate man and his wife, noted lawyer, having one of their usual scraj s, are seated beside them. Donald Lee, no other than New Jersey’s mayor and George Littlejohn, exjjert accountant, may lie seen talking with Henry Marshall. Phil Shulman and Jerry Sterner, noted orators. Some competition! A few rows in front of me are Ruth and Virginia, clever modistes, Henry Groh. expert typist (and how). “ Twras Twenty-five and all was well When “WE” entered H.H.S. | ell-mell, Freshies a year, we strove for life Fraught with war and most general strife. Came Twenty-six and “WE” travelled through. Torturing Frosh as Sophomores do. Some of us dropjx;d Ixrhind that year. Fewer were left, our ranks to cheer. Elizabeth Meagher, owner of a chain of l cauty parlors. socializing in hair waving. Joe Vuska, greatest shorthand writer, having broken all recent sjK e l records. Louise Weinrich, famous chiropodist, and last, hut not least. Dick Sim. and three other little ‘‘Richard’s”, the mother being French. We knew you were a good French student, Dick. Of course. Annette Corcoran is late, but her husband doesn’t seem to mind. I’ve almost forgotten the gentleman sitting next to me. Eddie Cantor's only competitor—Weyman Steen-grafe.

Class Prophecy LATE this afternoon I had been told by Gill ert Chamberlin, our editor-in-chief, that I had l ecn apjiointed to fill the honorary position of class prophet. It was quite a surprise to me and I did not consider it difficult until now. While I am sitting here with year books of past classes l eside me and ideas and thoughts of those res) ective editions. I foresee quite an undertaking lie-fore me to mark the journey for forty-seven classmates. not forgetting our little mascot. Virginia Cox. Mentioning her name makes me wonder what she will do when she is about to take the next step on the ladder of life. As I shut my eyes I see Virginia standing in the midst of her school chums awaiting the precious moment when she will receive the certificate which will mark the closing of her high school career. The class of 28 had planned a sort of reunion in honor of this event and I shall introduce them as they ap|K ar. Joseph Betz, captain of the world’s leading baseliall team, has just entered with Natalie lid ward sen, noted pianist. They are ushered to seats next to Eric Johnson. who is serving his second term—no, not in jail, but as a member of Congress. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Jean Martin is beside him ami is busily engaged talking to her husband, who is a wealthy owner of a chewing gum factory—no doubt made famous by Jean herself. Guess Eric helped some, not forgetting the great aid of Mr. Winters, who is sitting in front of them with Mrs. Winters. It is rumored that Pottsy has become quite an obedient husband. Can you imagine ? There is quite a commotion during which the entrance of a noted o|x ra star is marked—no other than Elizabeth O’Neill, followed bv one of the world’s leading novelists, Bayard La Force. In the very front row are ’28’s famous Three Twins. They are still as devoted as ever ami have become quite accustomed to this title, forgetting their original names of Martha, Miriam and Dorothea. A few rows in back of them is Ted Lewis’s “dead ringer”. Jack O’Donnell, and a second Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Alma Boylan. Jack Kay, a worthy follower of that matrimonial disease, seated beside a great com-jietitor of Ann Pennington—Katie I eininger. A small tclegraj h boy has just handed me several telegrams. His face seemed familiar so upon inquiring I learned that his name was Fischer. Best regards to the Mrs., Pete! George Garrigan and Bob Weiss, noted advertising solicitors, have just s|x ken to one of the world’s largest car dealers. Bill Groh. No doubt they were looking for “ads.” Oh, I must read mv telegrams while waiting for the remaining members of ’28. The first is from Gilbert Chamberlin, who states that it will Ik quite ini|x ssil)le for him to stop production of his latest love picture. A great actor. Gill ert. and what a lover! It might Ik stated that Ellery Haskell is his director. And here’s one from Margaret Gerber, who is making a tour of the states with Helen Jung. Needless to mention their business, why they are suffragettes. The third is signed by Mrs. Masionis, explaining that illness keeps dear Peter from attending. 18

To Kenneth Patton, Jerry’s “gift” of “slinging a line” in Problems Class. And to a future student in the chemistry class Jerry’s collection of test tulies.
