?rt PILCHUCK 1930 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Bv Harold Carlson, Edith Hjort, Lloyd Bjur Leander—“Mr. Davis to see you.” Harold—“Bring him in.” Pete—“Well, well, just to think you a president in 1950. I’m on my vacation and I thought I’d like to try and locate a few of our class members.” Harold—“Gee, I’d like to find some of them myself. Have you ever heard from Lloyd Bjur?” Pete—“Yes, I have a letter from him here with me, that I received a few days ago. He says he is teaching music to the women of the Dooble Hinkus Tribe in Little America and is making much progress. Who would have thought that Lloyd would take such a liking for women.” Harold—“Edith Hjort was here, last week, asking me to finance a trip to Mars for her. She says she has much confidence in Buck Rogers and hopes he will welcome her there when she arrives. Say, have you heard anything Francis Rooney?” Peter—“Yes, Francis is on an expedition to the North Pole where he has made a fortune selling panama hats and refrigerators. All this he accomplished by placing a searchlight on top of a pole, this gives a bright light and makes the Eskimo think it’s sunshine.” Harold—“You know Pete, Cecelia Abrahamson has been giving me quite a lot of trouble. That girl has been married and divorced six times. She is now living in India with her last husband, Maragah Namgay Doola. Your remember Frank Bauer, that fellow who could type so fast? He’s a water peddler in the Sahara Desert. He is making a fortune peddling water to the needy in a little green Ford with a large tank.” Peter—“Viola Iten has married the Prince of Wales. He gave her a choice of a place to spend their honeymoon. She chose to go on a hunting trip through the African Jungles. Esther Hjort, after graduating from high school took a tour through foreign countries. Upon arriving in Sweden the Prince became captivated by her actions and mannerisms and now she is the beloved Queen of Sweden.” Harold—“You don’t say, it seems like they are all making a success. Even Viv- ian Countryman, has succeeded in starring in that famous screen success, “Sun- nyside Down”. Otto Finley, you remember, on account of his funny remarks and actions is Jester in Queen Esther’s Court of Sweden. Whatever became of Tena?” Peter—“Tena Plaatsman? Oh she’s in Paris. She has come to fame by her magnificent creations of the latest styles for men and women. Her old school chum, Virginia Noren, has accompanied Tena to Paris, where she is studying art. She has now become interested in another Art.” Harold—“Now listen to this. Bernice Finley has become a famous Veterinary Doctor in China, she has horses as a specialty.” Peter—“That is funny, but then Clara Larson is teaching the Hawaiians to dance the “Hoola Hoola”. She has just sent in a petition asking for longer skirts for her dancers.” Harold—“Did you recognize my secretary?” Pete—“He looked familiar, but I can’t recall him.” Harold—“That’s Leander Lindstrom. He’s been my secretary ever since I took office. He still insists on Alice as the Last Lady of the Land. Alice has been successful in launching Harry Whitford and they are living happily ever after as the story goes.” Peter—“Miss Curtis, our faithful advisor has just returned from her honeymoon and is searching for the senior class in a land-areo-water boat.” Harold—“But say Pete, you said you were on your vacation, but you never told me what you were doing. Let’s hear it.” Peter—“Well, to make a long story short, after much study I have finally suc- ceeded in becoming the head cook for the King of England.” Harold—“Lucille Pashall has searched ever since she left school for a husband who would scold her, and she has finally found one. Now she is hoping that ‘Little Lucy’ will grow up to be as popular as herself.” Page Fifteen
