SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY—(Continued). “Have you seen or heard of any of our old classmates of 1929 who graduated from good old Klamath High with us?” “Yes, I have. I have traveled extensively and have seen many of them. In New York at the Grand Merrill Hotel, Maryellyn Bradford is the head dishwasher; her assistants live in mortal fear of her severe discipline. It is rumored that she is to marry the proprietor soon. He needs a strong helpmate. Perhaps you remember him; his name is John Pesce. Then as I traveled through Europe, taking in the beautiful scenes of those ancient civilizations, whom should I meet in Paris but Eva Miller, Erna Fricke, and Marie Cole, doing a song and dance act in one of the big theaters there. In Rome Jack Bedford and Herman Darley were found working in a stone quarry. Nadine O’Flaherty and Frances Palmer were there also, taking a course in spaghetti manfacturing. I encountered Jim Dougherty in Hong Kong. He was chasing Gertrude, who had eloped with Don Davis, the big fig and date man from Bonanza. Jack Elliot was his chauffeur. Don was trying to find a new one! Scotland proved to be a very interesting place too; Helen Cofer and Alice Harvey were running a more pay and less work” bureau for Scotch laborers. Don Harlan was the janitor of the office, of course. Junior Dennis was commander in chief of the King’s army and he had many able lieutenants, such as: “Slats Elliot, Philip Dahl, and Embert Fossum. Ireland revealed many catching circumstances, for instance, Alois Miller and his wife, nee Helen Jones, were running a dairy. It is known all over the country us the best place to stay away from. Harold Robertson, dying of a broken heart, occupied the position of hired man. In Spain I came upon a heart-breaking youth with sleek, dark hair and a bullfighter's personality, Wayne Whitney, of course. Kathryn Pope was his latest. She was dictator to the Queen of Spain, and had just condemned Leo Crochet to be chastized for chewing gum in the royal court. “Sig” von Berthelsdorf “wielded the wicked whip.” Back in America, I decided to see a little of the United States, so I set out to Boston. Margaret Macken and “Ole” were running a select young ladies’ seminary. Claudine Miller, Hazel Michaelson, Pearl Mathers, and Alidene Harris were among the instructors. Lucille App and Isabel Guse are running a bigger and better gas station out in the suburbs. New York also contained a few of our friends. Helen Mason and George Sprague entertained me royally in their big mansion. George made his fortune in Wall Street. Wilson Wiley, Lee Pruitt, Art I.eslie and Matt Kohn were acting as entertainers in the Ritz—quite classy. 16

 CLASS WILL—(Continued). I, Nadine O’Flaherty, leave to Betty Zimmerman my Irish personality (this is a good joke to use on a certain history professor). I, Gertrude Lindly, leave to Frances Bodine my silver slippers that I have used to dance in the May fete every year. We, Lawrence Williams and Herman Darley, leave our expert dancing ability to Henrettia Wright and John Shaw, hoping they will knock the school dead next year. I, Rudy Jacobs, leave my gaudy green necktie to Jean Fraser. We, Don Harlan and Harold Olson, leave to Mr. Emery and Miss Ulrich, all our A plus English papers to show to their future classes. I, Bob Huntley, leave my lady-catching secrets to Jim Hawkins. We, Jim Dougherty and Harold Kendle, leave our bills at the Mecca to Hub Maguire, hoping he will handle them carefully. I, “Pat” Livingston, leave my wild, red, and blue skirt to Alva Shultz, as he has often expressed a fondness for it. Hereunto have we set our hand and seal with the understanding that this is to stand against all attacks of time or change. — CLASS OF 1929. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ’Twas a chill autumn night; rain had begun to drop upon the roof of a tavern outside a quaint old English village. Upon driving up to the Inn I was immediately attracted by the rustic sign which hung on a giant tree, swinging in the breeze. The sign read: “Ye Olde Memories Inne.” The innkeeper was a jolly old fellow, none other than Armond Ulrich, who sat and gossiped with his patrons and let his faithful wife, once Hallene Loe, attend to all the work. On the cold evening aforementioned, I met a tall, dark stranger who entered the tavern and called for supper and lodgings. He bore the stamp of a sophisticated, city gentleman of great wealth, and his surprise was great when Mr. Ulrich shook his hand and exclaimed heartily. “Well, if it isn’t Paul Sevcik, the famous actor. What brings you here, my friend?” “Oh, I became tired of the same old life in the city, nothing but grin, in spite of my wealth, so I came here for a rest,” replied the great man. Then he drew his chair to the fire and began to question me. 15
