8 LINCOLN NEWS PROPHECY 4 FTKIt spending an enjoyable lime viewing Paris on my llrsl day, I mnaini'd in (lie lobby of Hie ,J i hold lo formulate some ideas as lo wlial I had. seen Ilia) day before I he evening radio con- X 3L cert slarled. While meifilaling over various scenes and ineidents, my Ihoughls were suddenly mlerriipled h.v a lap on (lie shoulder. I looked around and saw a man of dark complexion and medium slalure. There was something indelinilely familiar about him. so I recalled if was Corey Milchell, with the same cynical expression on his lace , Iml with a dignity and deftness of manner. There was a hearty and cordial greeting, and lie laid me lie was a linaneier in a French Colony in Africa. Ilis trip to Paris was lo transact some, business for Ihc Covernmcnt. While conversing about experiences since college days our allenliou was allracleil h.v three new gnosis entering the Motel, because the three men were engaged in a healed conversation. The hell hoy led them lo the desk, where Hie clerk, Dick Whittington. handed them a hook, to register. Their appearance was familiar and lo my surprise it was Artie 'Thomas, Jim .Murphy and Thurgood Mar- shall. We went (iver lo them and made ourselves known. During the reunion I noticed that the Busy years succeeding I heir school days had changed their appearance greatly. While Ihe conver- sation was going on I learned that Jim Murphy was a representative of the Finance Corporal ion of which Charles Walburv is the President. Ilis mission to Europe was lo establish a credit agency. Marshall is a lawyer, who came lo study Ihe technique of law in France, Ccrmuny and Switzerland. Artie Thomas is a physician, wITo came lo Paris to he relieved from his strenuous practice, for two moil Ilis. Announcement was given in Ihe lobby that the radio concert was abnui to begin in the auditorium. A few minutes later, we arose and entered the auditorium, where quite a number of guests were present. A loud speaker radio was on Ihe platform and a silver screen where Ihe television was lo lie focused. Kcnor Jason. Ihe announcer, started Ihe program hy giving the correct Parisian lime, which was eight o'clock. 'The llrsl number on the program was a quartette selection, rendered hy Messrs. John Coleman, Frank Mitchell, John lledmond and .1. P. Hohinsnn. They had hay windows, golees and bald heads. Their selections were popular numbers, Sweet Adeline, Memory's 'Treas- ure Chest and Lassie O'Mine. The next tiling on the program was a piano duet by Edgar Wimberly and Joe Perkins. The se- leclion was taken from Mary Dowling's Ninth Symphony. Immediately following was a Lincoln Uni- versity drama sponsored hy President Langston Hughes ami directed hy Julie Martin. The topic was Shaw's Man and Superman”. After tlx drama, the announcer fold us lo stand hy for Ilf teen min- utes. We went lo Ihe dining mom lo gel some colfee. 'The head-waiter we recognized to lie Holier! Hurst. Hi told us his assistants were Haves Burnell, Elmer Douglas, Chubby Jones, Carrol Holmes and Clarence Liggon, and Ibis was their night oil'. By this lime, we had consumed our colTee and smoked our cigars. 'Then we departed lo the auditorium to listen to the remainder of the program. 'The second part of I he program was opened hy the Palais D’or Orchestra and Ihe director was Slim Neal, with long (lowing hair and a loosely knolled lie. The opening number consisted oT llildicr's latest number, Discord Blues . 'The evening program had been so full of thrills and adventures we ventured lo look forward lo more shocks. Behold! 'There was Ceorge Charleston playing Ihe sax- ophone, Harmon Perry al Ihe piano. William Polkal Ihe drums and Joe Meadows playing Ihe cornel. We sal there dumfoumled, knowing uol wlial to e.xpecl next. However, later, we found ourselves swaying to Ihe jazzy strains of Ihe music, with its weird, vibrating notes. The playing of the dance music was suddenly inlerrupled. A radiogram was broadcast dial a robbery had occurred a few minutes ago al Hue La Salle. The men robbed were lliree wealthy and prominent citizens, Booker Washington. Leroy Williams and Markie Parks. 'The handils were later caught and arraigned before Court. When brought before Judge Halph Wright they were convicted hy Ihe jury, consisting of Ceorge Femlersou. Oscar Bidd- er. Andy Jenkins. Stephen Mackey, Buddy Leflridge. Leonard Martin. C. Norris, James Steele and Ivan Williams. We conversed for a few minutes concerning the latest incident and gradually each de- parted lo retire. I went lo the elevator and rang the hell. Who do you think was elevator oper- ator? None other Ilian Ulysses Tale. During the course of the conversation lie told me Bill Ware was the starter on the day shift. I went lo my room and began lo undress. While doing so. the onrush of the various occur- rences filled my mind. II seemed queer how Fate had worked mil Ihe destiny of Ihe men in our class. Suddenly I realized there was one member whom I had lost complete sight of. While contemplating about the losl member of our class I recalled that Bill Hill had luken Ihe place of Poland Hayes and was touring the entire country giving concerts. JOHN IL HILL. JH.
