PROPHECY Phyllis Haire, America's best dressed lady, was sitting alone in the court of her spacious home in Hollywood when a strange woman came in and asked Phyllis if she could reveal her past, present, and future. Phyllis replied, Ido not care for anything but the present. Can you tell me what has happened to all my classmates of '37 ? That will be very easy, said the fortune- teller. She seated herself and began. Dorothy Carpenter is today suing Lois Lovell, American Pianist, for alienating the affections of Orville Borneman. As yet the outcome is undecided. Elverna Borneman is happily married and living in Florida. You would not recognize her for the climate has agreed with her and she is not the slim girl she once was. William Schroeder is just receiving the patent for a new invention added to his Carpen- ter Tracter. Myra Schelling has just been appointed Secretary of Treasury. She is the first woman to fill this position. Emerson Baker, as you probably know is here in Hollywood. He is the ladies' Matinee Idol. Martha Albert is editor of the Literary Digest. You know that was her favorite magaz- ine when she was in school. Lula Belle has ended her contract with station W. L. S. and has asked Maxine Whitney to take her place . She is filling it very well. John Rowland is the ace pilot of the air lines, and Betty Peterson is the stewardess. Last reports have Betty desperately in love with the co-pilot.
