24 THE LA WRENCIAN Strutted Catherine Ferreira, well, really not too sedate. At our Annual Town Meeting, where some- body had sent her, Mary Ferreira was elected to head Community Center. At this same time, Barbara Welch became the great trainer Of the welter-weight champion, little Lorraine Gaynor. Christine McAdams’ name was seen on many posters, For selectmen then were sliding in on little kiddy coasters. The only poetess of any fame, Eleanor Irish, always well-painted, Recited in just an hour, Gone with the Wind”, then fainted. In going to mail a letter, whom should I meet but Anne McKenzie, As post-mistress of Waquoit; she was certainly in a frenzie. I read of a golf match with Patty Berg, the be t of all you really know; Well, Anita LaBonte got nine holes in one, and after all she stole the show. And then to see the Clark expedition, on their trip to Hong Kong, Where Elva Clark bids a sad farewell to her Harvard boy gone wrong”. At the Florida Auto-Race, Jean Morrison won all the cakes, For ninety miles an hour would win most any stakes. Betsey Stud ley, just Stud, for short, Is now a laundry-woman, believe it or not. Gertrude Grew was seen at the Fair, Riding side-saddle on her ole gray mare”. And after that I awoke from my dream. When Frances Cahoon started to fish in a stream. Hartley Cassidy, as always, smooth and wise, Is running an escort bureau of considerable size. George Stevenson is the author of the meaty tome Thirty Thousand Reasons Why Girls Leave Home”. We are awfully surprised at Elmer White. He is now a tranquil minister and does every- thing that’s right. The moving picture industry claimed John T ait. He doubles for Tarzan calling for his mate. In any corner drugstore you can see Bud Denny Decorating bubble gum; chew it for a penny. Chinky Parker became a success. If you please, He is now very busy raising thoroughbred fleas. Elmer Sylvia is a person of great renown. He has become town crier in old P-town. Ralphie Long became a great debater And, of all things, is a woman hater. Last night I read an interesting story, Called Advice to the Lovelorn”, by Johnny Corey. You could have knocked me for a round of loops. I found Hank Borden designing bathing suits. Edward Perry has proved to be very energetic. He sprints from door to door selling women’s cosmetic. Art Robichaud, so handsome, so blond, and so grand, Finally made Broadway (he runs a taxi stand). Joe Spooner became a whizz scientific. His inventions are quaint and very prolific. John Silva is now a big-business man. He sells Woods Hole sea-water in a two- gallon can. Remember George Freeman, so glib and per- suasy? He’s burst into movies and drives the girls crazy. And Robert McDonald, our own gallant Bob Chose the ice patrol for his chilly job. Joseph Costa, Jr., has reason to have umph!” He has just been put in charge of the Woods Hole dump. Famous for their trumpetry were Lehy and Jones Now, they still blow high and low with awful overtones. Eltvood Mills (so I’m told) had a very dire fate. He was thrown off Mashpee’s football team for being underweight. About Gene Young Fm not much surer, But rumor has it, he subs for the Fuehrer. Ralph Sanderson, our Salty” of the seas, Is now a salesman of B. V. D.’s. Harry Richardson, our most fashionable dresser, Has just invented a deluxe pants presser. Albert Perry ' s job is really quite grand. He’s a handsome leader of a jitterbug band. George Cassick always thought he’d be a sec- ond Gable, But now he works at Waldorf’s and waits on table. Bernie lssokson’s job is coming along elegant. He works very hard, fitting glasses on an elephant.

THE LAWRENCIAN 23 Class Prophecy Girls — Harry Richardson — Boys — Alary Cobb I FELL into a deep, deep slumber, after a strenuous game of golf, And in my dream of years to come were some events that made me laugh. First I drove into Radio City, one Barbara Berg to observe. She was playing Bob’s bazooka”, and she had f lenty of nerve. While walking down 5th Avenue, I met our Mary Cobb. She said she ran a racket and ruled a wicked mob. For ten pennies I went to the Opera; there our meek Annie Hart to find Singing Jazz o’er a grand, stately mountain and sounding just like wind. And then I went to the Y. W. C. A. to watch Virginia Hall Take on all comers in Tiddly-winks, to no ad- vantage at all. Twas after all a mighty shame, for Bernardine Sabens won that game When Winifred W eeks, a bit inane, had yelled out loud, her Johnnie’s name. I met Miss Muriel Robertson, who ' d gotten very plump, She told me that she’d got that way from living at the dump. Inside a beauty parlor I did see a gray -haired lady, Mildred Green , As manicurist, not too keen, and she really was, oh, far too lean. I did not find her in a park, but in the New York Zoo, Lois Robinson, training seals to do the famous Suzie-Q. Twas in a Harlem nightclub, where finally we all met Phyllis Studley, quite the lady, teaching boys just how to pet. After miles of weary travel, I did not feel too merry, And left New York to see the world, in the Lillian Mott a Ferry. While this appeared strange to me, a stewardess on this line to see, Yet Pauline Roderiques, it seemed, was really the best that there could be. Now just to hear Neota Peters trying hard to dance and sing Was just a joy, when she turned The Marseillaise’’ right into swing. In the Barnum and Bailey Circus and really twice her size, Was Gertrude Crocker as the belle; can you picture my surprise? Can you imagine as a maid in any circus show, Eetty Hulten juggling in an act, two barrels of rinso”? At Central Park, just after dark and sitting on a bench, I found poor little Sarah Franco, reading poetry, in French. On a farm right in New York, was tiny Adwilda Judd, Researching for science, Why cows still chew their cud”. Twas Margaret Medeiros who finally reached great fame, By marrying her French Count, merely for his name. At the World ' s Fair in Woods Hole, Mass., atop a perisphere, Stood Lillian Ficus, drawing eyes from far and near. Alis Parker donned her veils, to do a Sallv Rand, And Angelina Veiga then produced her famous band. To my surprise I found Kathleen Vallis At the World’s Fair, advertising Vitalis”. The Girl Scouts had an outing there, and were very proudly led, By Councillor Fernandes. Julia, I should have said. I watched the many guides, parading in the sun, But none looked smarter there than Olive Peterson. My very next encounter was with graceful Charlotte Hubbard, Who was tuning pianos, making quite a hubbub. And in an old, old cottage, built deep out in the wood, I met Annetta Hubbard playing Little Red Riding Hood”. On the silvery sands of Falmouth Beach, I met Virginia Wilde, Modeling bathing suits, while the summer bugs” went wild. And well-dressed as a gypsy, at our annual lawn-fete,

THE LAWRENCIAN 25 A stately position is that of James Hall’s. He is now employed by Suffolk Downs, look- ing after all the stalls. Lawrence Antonellis, so bashful and hesitant, Came to no good — he’s an Alcatraz resident. And dear Bobby Wilson, he sure has made good. He patented an auto with a cellophane hood. To save the world through politics is Elmore Thrasher’s fate. He’s been elected dictator; we hope it’s not too late. Antone Vieira and Tony Vidal of Trips Here and There’’ Will sell you tickets to go anywhere! In radio, Ernie Upton’s made his reputation. Tune in most anytime and hear his Beauty dissertation. Theodore Economides, Teddy”, for short, Is a foreign ambassador, I’m glad to report. Joseph Miskell has really profited by his knowledge. He has just been made President of Teaticket College.
