Page 22 MI MIR □ 1933 (Elass IJniphrnj It's a strange story to «ay the least, but I will give it to you the way I heard it, and you can have it for what it’s worth. It was nearing the end of the high school career for all the class of ’33. It was getting along that time of year when a young fellow’s chief worry is the poem he is trying to construct for his one and only. Anyway. I was wandering around the fair city, between classes, when I looked down an alley and saw none other than Horton Andrews sitting in the doorway of a stone building. He seemed to be very dejected, and so I nonchalantly strolled down to see if I could read him one of my latest poems (thinking it might cheer him up a bit.) Well, that might have been all right, but I no sooner got comfortably settled than he began to tell me a story that even made me forget my poems and such. He saids ‘I have just seen one of the strangest, most amazing things that the world has ever seen. Yet I know that no one will ever believe me because I have no proof of the happening.” You can imagine what I thought about that time—that the heavy strain a young fellow, and especially such a handsome one, is under at this time of year had gotten him. He went right on, however, before I could make any comments. “It was right in this room.” he continued, that this amazing thing happened. Rill Corey and I were trying to hide from some fair specimens of the opposite sex, and walked onto that platform (indicating one in a corner of the room) and Rill turned what looked like a rotary calendar, and then it happened. The room started changing from daylight to dark and back again in swift even Hashes. This continued for a short time, and then when we found the light was steady we stepped out of the contraption into a very large library. We were dazed and about ready to give up the ghost, when along came a fellow, with books piled up in his arms so high he couldn’t see over them and fell over Rill’s feet. When the books had all come down to earth, and he had picked himself up, it turned out to bo our old pal, Rob CunlifTe. We were about to shoot a flock of questions at him. but he beat us to the draw with— “Where have you two been? I have looked through every record in the city, and haven’t been able to find you.” “Then he explained what it was all about,” continued Horton. He said he was making a chart showing what each kind of student was doing, as it was just ten years since we all supposedly graduated. “Here’s what we are all doing in. 1943, according to him,” Horton said, pulling a paper out of his pocket and handing it to me. Here is what I read: Adah Singleton is doing sketches for McCall and Good Housekeeping, besides making famous pieces in art. Jeanette Blanchard and Lenn Pierson, united in the holy bonds of matrimony, have gone in for frog raising on a large scale. We are sure Jeanette is so thrilled that she “simply can’t say a word.” Wayne Foster is an outstanding detective on the New York police force. It is rumored that he received training in the Junior play, “The Thirteenth Chair.” Barbara Coolidge, Mary Doherty, Zeloris Weatherspoon and Lois Russell have joined a gypsy tribe, and are teaching principles learned in “Chonita”. Tom Struck is now an aeroplane designer and has Lee Spencer as his able assistant and silent partner. Everett Reynolds, more informally known as “Shrimp”, is an enthusiastic golfer, and finds time from his business for a few holes each day. Paul Finlay is now editor of “The Finlay Times”, that outstanding New York paper. We recently clipped the following announcement from its columns: “Riley Lambert will be presented next Friday evening in a radio program during which he will read selections from Shakespeare and Tennyson. Ruth Maguire and Jean Mc- Kennon will furnish several vocal duets for the program, which advertises that fam- ous chain of drug stores. Erickson Erickson, of which Chas. Erickson is president. Virginia Shepherd is head librarian in the La Grande city library. Her staff includes Eva Daugherty, Etta Severns and Theresa Curran. Earl Edwards is janitor. Melva Bull and Genevieve Choate just sailed for an extended tour of Europe. They expect to visit Cecilia Reynaud, who is taking vocal lessons in Rome. Italy! Albert Lilly, a renowned contractor, has secured the contract for the recon- struction of the La Grande high school, recently damaged by fire believed to be of incendiary origin. This was announced by Donald Steinbech, chairman of school board. Fred Ilertzog. following the example set, has become a minister. He recently performed a ceremony in which Myrn Smith and Glenn Fox, Eugenia Trowbridge
