THE SHIPS' LOG CLASS PROPHECY We look in the distance and see an old stooped woman writing in a large open book entitled, What Happened or is Happening to Hoagland Grads of '4l. She looks once more into the crystal ball and continues. As we move up farther we can make out her plainly written words. Oh-Yes! Trenton, New Iersey, 1949-Gerald Hisner, famous in 1941 for following Sally Rand, is playing opposite her in New York this week. His debut was in No Flees on Sally's Fan. While looking over my paper this morning, I see Viola Sheumann was arrested in Youse- Hart-Hotel for sliding down the banister of the Cribbly Yellow Room. Oris Cagnet, noted for his long curling eye lashes, wept today when they were clipped. Producer Dinglelipper says he just can't keep make up on his leading lady in those love scenes when Cagnet flutters the long sweeping tresses. Mrs. Antie Plush, once known as 'Mary Louise Youse, could not take her place upon the vast stage of the Emenhiser Metropolitian Opera Co. last night. She had lost the rose she was to sing to in My Golden Flora. Fort Bumps, l958-Ralph Fredericks, once heart throb of Hoagland, is testing others' hearts. He is a great and famous doctor in Uncle Sam's Army. He is to marry his bow- legged pretty nurse, Miss Duffy, soon. Noble Dinger, the playboy of Hoagland, was seen buying Christmas toys for his nephews and nieces, the Zimmerman children. Noble is a mechanic in the Fix Em Crash Em garage. Paul Viet know as the Fresh man in his youth, was selling fish on the swanky part of Fifth Avenue. He was arrested for slapping a policeman against the side of the face with a bull head. Floyd Hart, the boy with curly hair, is giving other boys a chance to have it, too. He just opened the Curly Tops beauty shop. The sign says it is for men only. While walking along yesterday I saw a queer sign- Cora Iane's Dancing SchooI. Curious, I went in. She was featuring the Lazy Hog Waltz in which you get down on all fours. Iames Marquardt was her chief assistant. We have a speaker at the town hall to-night. He was an intelligent student in school and is lecturing on Why I Think Teachers Go Insane. Could he be thinking of his teachers and his dippy classmates? Yes, Willis Flora is a good speaker. Goo Georgia 1958-In the distance I see a large plantation. They say a retired movie actor lives there-yes, why it's Carl Zimmerman coming to meet us, and there comes his tall dark-haired wife, Nola lane and seven boys Van Horn Dress Shop, 1950-There comes an attractive model. Ohl I just love blond hair. Now isn't that a cute dress of cellophane and that darling hat made of a shoe string and a button? Doesn't she have a graceful walk? I always knew Gertrude Hake would make good once she left Hoagland. Chicago, Illinois, 1953-I read a very entertaining write-up. The author was Kenneth Barkley, Ir. tBugl. The name of it was Why I Think a Bath a Year Won't Hurt Anyone and I Comb My Hair Every Saturday. The marines docked Friday and I went down to see Commander Charles fBilll Votaw. I wanted to know what made him join, and this is what he told me. They say sailors have a girl in every port, and you know how I am about girls. I'm just like God-I love them all. Madison Square Gardens, 1945-Time is getting short, the two fighters come out into the ring, they shake hands-the bell rings and Mearvin Ftuhl is still shaking. Two ton Zeke comes at him, and Ruhl is still shaking. Fourteen rounds are fought and Zeke wins by.a draw, Mearvin, still shaking, saying to his many friends over the radio, It was just one big unhappy shake. Ioan Gable is working in the dime store, demonstrating corn plasters. The clerk at the hardware department says clothes pin trade has picked up 1001. Helen Oehler accepted the job of police-woman on the force. Yesterday her toughest customer was Owen Ake who was beaten to a pulp by his wife. Palm Beach, Florida, l945-I had just been seated beside the large blue pool of water when the performers came into view. The second one took my eye with his boyish figure- yes, it was Louis Boerger. He was introduced as the world's greatest diver. His dive was swell but we thought he was going to drown because he was fully five minutes to come up. All Louis had to say was You should have seen the blond I met. Turning to the page of ads, I saw the most peculiar one: To any girl who is tired of a common name, I will be glad to help you change it. lust call on me, the name is Smith, Clyde Smith. In answer to an Ad-I sure appreciate your willing way with we girls that are tired of our names. I am thrilled at the thought of changing my name to Smith. l remain yours truly, Dorothy Hegerfelt. Paul Youse-who is a pilot on The American Air Lines has for his hostess, the pretty Dorothy Nagle. Flying is such fun with Dot, says Paul. It's heaven up in the clouds with Paul. Only yesterday he asked me to spend the rest of my life in his flying machine, said Dorothy. Looking through the window of time I see Kathleen Sorg, an old maid. She did not sit idle all these years but wrote a book and is finishing the last chapter this evening, W'hy I Could Appreciate a Bald-Headed Man. September, Doo Doo, Indiana-Indiana Sub Normal Institute will have a new football coach this year. Howard Van Horn will be given the post. I wanted a man of muscle and plenty of nerve, quoted the Dean. That's me, said Van Horn. Glancing at the 250 pounders, Van Horn shaking from head to foot says, Remember. boys, I'm just a wild- flower. 14
