r THE PILCHUCK, 19 2 6- Prophecy of Class of 26 It was the first Friday in June, 1946, when 1 arrived in Chicago and registered at the Blackstone Hotel. Glancing over the register, 1 found Miss Hobbs’ name and 1 immediately called her room on the telephone so that a meeting could he arranged to talk over the old days when she was advisor for the Class of ’26. She came to the lobby and in comparing our past and present affairs, she told me that she had turned down an offer to marry the Prince of Siam so that she could work at Burbank’s experimental station, aiding in the perfection of a “non-squirtable” grapefruit. This experiment she expected to be of great social benefit. 1 told her that I (Lyell Cox) was a plantation owner in Central Australia and that 1 was raising “Cain” and three able boys. She asked concerning other members of the class, so I told her about the ones I had kept in touch with. Forrest Ferris had joined Hollywood’s force of “movie actors” and was acting the part of Tarzan of the Apes in BuTrough's latest book, “Ape Life In Paris.” Paul Smith, Forrest’s chemistry partner, had taken up Darwin’s theory on Evolution of Man, and was attempting to prove his own theories with Forrest as the proof. Viola Matson, who in High School had trained for a business career, had become private secretary to the King of Sweden’s grandson. Ruth Backstrom had married a local hoy the year following her graduation from high school and had left for Sweden to visit her sister-in-law who is a secretary to the King’s grandson. She was accompanied by her son Elmer, Junior. Angeline Sahlbom, on hearing Ronald Amundsen speak in Everett during her Senior year, had decided on a career as a school teacher in Alaska but had changed to one of selling overcoats to the Fiji Islanders. Erleen Dyke and Elvera Abrahamson who had both taken part in high school debates, had been sent to the United States Legislature for the state of Washington and were trying to introduce a bill doing away with male suffrage, in spite of the fact that they are both married to able-bodied men. Una Cushman has probably gained the most publicity. She married the Prince of Wales the year after she graduated from the University of Washington. Her sister, Ina, has absolute control of the Imperial Chicken Ranch and is raising baby chicks on Mellin’s Baby Food. Roy Ronquist was solely responsible for the theory that the moon is made of “green cheese” and he has made preparations for a trip to the moon, that will take three years for a one way ticket. He is only taking enough food to last four years and plans to make the return trip on “green cheese”. Helen Wilkinson, after being engaged eleven times in her high school and college years, finally married Rudolph Valentino’s brother, and, he, under direct influence of Mrs. Valentino, has established a home for all “grass widows” that can make a noise like a lawnmower. Miss Hobbs told me of the rest of my old-time classmates. She said that Florence had entered the literary field, writing books for girls. The name of her last book was, “How to Attract Male Admirers.” Enola Alliman more than fulfilled her high school plans of managing a musical studio, she has advanced to owner of the Alliman School of Classical Dancing. Her only important rival is Segri Marrinoflf’s Dancing School at Chicago. Alice “McGuire” Dings, had had a disappointment in a love affair and then took up the study of Art and soon became famous as a model. Minor Godfrey, who in high school had decided on no particular phase of life to specialize in, aside from reading the funny papers and being a gentleman of leisure, had opened up an oyster house adjoining Dinty Moore‘s in Los Angeles. His place is patronized by the famous “Maggie” while “Jiggs” goes next door where corn beef and cabbage reign supreme. Carl Worlund, one time president of the Senior Class, is now president of the Swedish Bread Corporation. His life time ambition has been to make Swedish Bread in America and to a certain extent he has succeded. At the close of our conversation Miss Hobbs stated that if in the next twenty years, the members of the Class of ’26 make as much progress and benefit society as much as they have in the last twenty years, she would feel that she had been greatly honored by being chosen as their class advisor in the year nineteen hundred twenty-six. I told my former class advisor that I agreed with her in her convictions, and wishing her great success in her experiment, I left to inquire about the schedule of the limited airship service between Chicago and Australia. oc— ocy pane fourteen
