THE COMMENT 1929 Senior Class Prophecy June 32, 1951 Keokuk, Iowa Dear Jack: I've been pretty busy since I received your last letter, and this is about the first time I've had a chance to write you. In answer to your request of the whereabouts of the Class of '29, I've written this little directory. Some have just made Hwhoopeef' Leroy Humble, our worthy president, is out in California. He writes me that, owing to the richness of the soil, it is impossible to raise water- melons because the vines grow so fast that they drag the melons over the ground, wearing holes in them. Ruth VanAusdall, Jack Rovane, and Robert Bear are in the Salvation Army. Bob plays the piano, Ruth Sings, and Jack takes up the collection. Fern Head-you remember little Fernie, don't you? She came home the other day from a card party and found Ralph stirring the baby and rocking the soup. Stacy Johnson works up at the north pole during the winter. I-Ie builds a Hre, cuts oil the frozen flames and then sells them for red peppers in the States. h Colleen Mundy has married a preacher. I don't know his name, but they say he can talk a Scotchman into contributing a dollar every Sunday. Hubert Johnson is working on his latest creation-muzzles for hot dogs. Lucy Marsh is a teacher in the Argyle consolidated school. She instructs second graders in advanced chemistry and domestic science. Kenneth Moon has the softest job: he tests mattresses to see how comfortable they are. Glen Linquist is in Hollywood. He doubles for John Barrymore in the love scenes. The leading lady says his technique is superb, but his mustache tickles. Margaret Meister, commonly known as the celluloid ash tray mag- nate, has left today for some wookydoolus hunting in Yucatan. Faye Reed was following in his father's footsteps. He was a police- man in Chicago, but at the present he is pushing up the roots of daisies. Alice Branson is a prominent Hgure in the Swiss cheese market. She has perfected a non-shrinking hole for her world-famous cheese. Wells Sinotte has surprised everyone by breaking into the movies. In Clara Bows' latest pic-ture he plays the part of her brother that dies before the picture starts. Zora Belle Storms is selling postoffices and city halls to ambitious young men with more money than brains. Glen VanDyke has discontinued his career as a trombone player on account of the high price of axel grease. TWENTY-FIVE
