CLASS PROPHESY The other evening I was invited to the home of a former classmate, Mrs. Elson (nee Bessie Sanders) to a dinner in honor of our graduation anniversary. During the course of the evening we discussed and wondered what they were doing now. After returning home I felt the affects of too much mince pie and grape juice. I retired early. I was soon fast asleep and in my dream I saw: Phyllis Poulin, as the world renowned drum- mer, still shy and pretty, heading the top line of the Orpheum Circuit. Accompanying her is a well known Winnemucca boy whose job is to carry the drum. Walter Case, who has just promised to “love, honor and obey” sweet Viola and henceforth will be head of a large Mercantile Store away up north. Ruth Hubbard signing a check for $10,000, the royalty on her latest book, entitled “Why They Called the Annual Winnada.” Margaret Weber, still bright and happy, flit- ting from ward to ward in the Letterman Hos- pital entertaining the wounded soldiers. Charles Fishburn stepping along jauntily with a suitcase in each hand. He is going from door to door peddling platinum cooking uten- sils far cheaper than tinware, since such great quantities of platinum are found near Winne- mucca. La Verne Richardson taking an active inter- est in politics since leaving school, and now I find her seated in the Mayor’s chair of Winne- mucca. Laura Kranz peddling hot popcorn and gum on the Western Pacific and when questioned as to her motive in taking up this work blush- ingly admitted that her name was “Mrs. Smithe” and did this so she could accompany her husband on his trips. Ellen Wells, a famous pianist, touring the world as accompanist to McCormick. Then my eyes seemed to be blinded by the brightness of the spotlight and I saw dancing across the stage amid a deafening applause our old classmate, Blanch Guthrie, who has far eclipsed the famous Pavlowa in dancing. My dream was suddenly terminated by a loud knocking at my door. I jumped out of bed and bounded to the door to find Mother there. “Get up,” she said, “there’s a whole week’s washing for you to do.” WILMA BLATTNER, ’22.
