Page 29 The Senior Class Prophecy [Time about the year 1938—more or less. | The Toonerville Trolley sped along with an extra bump and bounce for Homer while its sole occupants Mrs. Merrill Bickford—formerly Margaret Ann Austin, and Ruth Burnstedt—an enthusiastic instructor of little chil- dren in Flugstad—were squealing at every bump and in between squeals were managing to do a bit of gossiping. “T wonder” began Margaret Ann, “If those two old bachelors Phil Gates and Kenneth Sohns are still making their annual tours lecturing on ‘How to remain single?” “Oh, yes,” answered Ruth, “They still are, but they never come around here any more because they can never get away from those two old maids Ida Winchell and Leita Brower, who just talk and talk and you know how those bachelors like talkative women.” “Speaking of women,” said Margaret Ann, “have you heard the latest? Esther Drackley and Margaret Swanson are playing the leading roles for De Mille’s next picture. Milton Baldwin and Cecil Segar are playing oppo- site them.” “That isn’t the latest I’ve heard,” put in Ruth. “I’ve heard that Ted Gillman is one of the most prominent lawyers in New York and has written several editorials for one of the lead:ng papers there. He says in one “I’ve never lost a case for I’ve never had a client.” As the Toonerville Trolley was making its stop at a station, Eleanor Butts—now Mrs. Chet Gore—got in and seeing her friends immediately joined in with her gossip. “Chet and I went into the Circus at the City of Duncombe yesterday, and we saw the most people of the class of ’28. When we came into the grounds we heard a familiar voice calling “Right this way folks! Groceries and candies guaranteed not to poison, to maim or to kill.” “Why,” said Chet, “that sounds like Timm Alkire,” and to be sure it was. Arlene Juhl and Charlotte Neff were helping Timm, working like trojans just as they did in ’28. To our surprise, there were many more of the old gang of ’28’ers around the grounds. Arlene said that if we tried to collect them all togeth- er we’d have a bunch of antiques. We surely would if we had attempted, because Tod Henegar was selling balloons to all the attractive girls on the grounds. Melford France was introducing a Human Fish. Who do you suppose it was? No one else but Raymond Burns. “Did you know,” interrupted Margaret Ann, “that Viola Paulsen has endowed a home for decrepit cats and installed Claire Hoge and Louise Weidlein as Matrons ?” “Do you know that the “Sandpiper” Vaudeville Company was in Jewell last month?” asked Ruth. “The players attracted huge crowds with their neart rendering, jibbering minstrel show. The players were Lois Brown, Claire Dinsdale, Jack Desmond, Mildred Zeihan, Virgil Pringle, Harold War- rington, and Bertha Taxted. Marion Rasmussen acting as judge of the beauty contest given by the “Sandpiper”? Company declared Ruth Lane and Gladys Lemon, winners.” Eleanor who was displeased with these interruptions decided she’d go on about the circus. ‘When Chet and I went in the Lovers Tub, whom do you suppose we saw whirling in it? Howard Jones and Dorothy Rutledge, Russell Mazanti and Mary Ferguson, Verna Kramer and Arthur Lundell!” “Tid Kenneth Nichols ever become a coach?” asked Margaret Ann. “Yes,” answered Eleanor, “but not in athletics, his glee club has won prizes for three consecutive years. He expects to become the next musical director at Stanhope. It’s very remarkable, isn’t it, how the members of 28 rise to distinction?”
