THE. TROUBADOUR 1935 cop in the face. Junior proved to be a very diligent driver and we arrived quickly and safely at the galleries. The first picture we were told, was a modern painting of a New England landscape by Miss Helen Shaw. We re- membered that Helen had always been the victim of all the work to be done in art when we were in high school and we were proud to tell the guide that the artist had been our senior classmate. After Luella and I had obtained all the necessary material and I had de- livered it to my newspaper, we decided to take in a movie. When we were comfortably seated we read these words on the screen, Miss Marion Vick, 1955's champion fencer, returns from Europe. There was Marion leaving the boat, surrounded by admirers and wearing the same smile that she had when she sat in our graduating class of 1935. That evening I felt very content that I had been well informed as to the whereabouts of each member of the last senior class of Kendall High School. -Challiss Preston BETTY'S MILLIONAIRE The seniors gave their play, Betty's Millionaire, at the high school gym November 23 and 24, under the direction of Miss Lucile Brooks.

1935 THE TROUBADOUR CLASS PROPHECY One fine spring morning in May, 1955, I was awakened by the tantalizing sound of my telephone. I raised the phone to my ear, only to be informed that my boss wanted to see me immediately. Well, after all business is busi- ness and though this wasn't my usual working hour I dressed, snatched a bite to eat and very obediently propelled myself through the streets of New York until I reached the New York Times building. As I entered I observed a rather disorderly gentleman coming toward me. The boss seemed rather ex- cited over something. He hastened to tell me that I was to go to the pier to obtain all the information I could from a certain Miss Dionne Faye, famous broadway star, now returning from a world tour. If any of you have ever witnessed the arrival of any prominent star you may have a faint idea of the torture I endured trying to find Miss Faye. Nevertheless, I succeeded in my attempt and immediately began my chase for an interview. As I knew the name of the hotel at which she was to stay, I hurried there only to find the street so crowded I could hardly reach the entrance. I entered the lobby, picked up a couple of suitcases and asked the clerk which room Miss Faye had. I also ex- plained that I was her personal maid and had to take this luggage to her room. After Miss Faye had been safely escorted to her room and was left alone, I came from behind the door and extended her a hearty welcome. She turned suddenly and the expression on her face was one which I hated to waste for simply my own benefit. When the expression faded I noticed a pronounced resemblance to someone I had seen before. We stared at each other for what seemed hours when I became aware that the famed Miss Dionne Faye was my senior class mate at Kendall High, Nellie Wing. Well, I certainly gave the paper plenty of news about her. That evening I decided to celebrate my previous good fortune so I called the Bellevue Hospital where I expected my ol' pal Lorraine Behnke was aiding some handsome surgeon with a very serious operation. Fortunately she was not busy and had the evening free so we decided to go out in a big way and dine at the Ritz. When we arrived the head waiter, a well dressed, rather shrunken little man, came to usher us to our table. As he came nearer, Lor- raine awakened me to the fact that this was none other than Frederick Jensen, the happiest senior in our class of 1935. To our surprise Fritz recognized us and we received the best table in the place. As soon as we had finished, we informed Fritz as to the excellence of the food. He told us that we should compliment another of our worthy seniors for that, Luella Wilson. Of course, we then had to go and chat with Luella and at the same time watch her super- vise a number of cooks in an enormous kitchen. Following this renewal of old acquaintances, we decided to go to the opera, in which our faithful friend, Vera Priestly, had the leading role and opposite her was the Lawrence Tibbet of 1955, Luther Armstrong. The next morning, my orders were to visit the art galleries to secure notes on the latest sensations along the line of artists. I decided that I would need a good secretary to assist me so I immediately sent for one. When I opened my door a few moments later, who should enter but Luella Schmidt, looking as fresh as she had in her high school days and ready for a good days Work. We left my apartment and hailed a taxi. As I stepped in and was about to tell the driver where to take us, I recognized Junior Oehlbeck behind the wheel, looking very content that he could now drive a car and feel safe to look every Page Eight
