61194-I2'VVQ B: l?'ffE'a'U'7Q Prophecy of the Class of ,20 N the 28th year of the reign of the Little Wolf High School, in the year of our Lord 1916, there came a band of a score and sixteen pilgrims, to the doors of the Temple of Learning. They beseiged this great Temple and conquered its difficulties. In the year 1925, a gleaming brazen shaft reached mother earth at the Majestic Temple built in 1917-1918. After many days of wonder Dr. Floyd VVebb discovers a dark object, and after hours of observing we sight a living human being coming to earth who we recognize as Bernard Carew. He told us he had perfected this in- clined plane by which the Alumni of the Temple of Learning may reach the world of Shoenrock, conquered by Marguerite Schuelke and Gertrude Karpinsky. Two days have elapsed and I am in the New World with Bernard as guide. I was astonished to find my two classmates Evan Vaughan and Robert Dishnow had be- come the most noted scientists of the age. I was then taken to a modern theater owned and operated by Domke and Laughrin. just as we were being seated the orchestra began playing and I recognized the leader as Prof. Klotzbuecher. Miss Beatrice Darling played the piano, George Duffey, first harmonica, Alice Loughrin second harmonica while Alfred St. George attracted our attention by his adept man- ipulation of the Jew's harp. Promptly at eight o'clock the curtain rose on Leonhard Waldernian Ferdinand Gehrke, the renowned tight wire walker and his charming helpmate Doris Peterson. The second entertainr was Lee Guerin, the celebrated animal tamer with his forty- seven white mice and twenty-three talking piggies. The stage was then occupied by Charlotte Nye the wonder of the age in elocution. She was followed by the world's famed orator on Irish Home Rule, Thomas Flanagan. The closing number of the evening was the new world's famous sextette, Enid Walch, lvlelvin Martin, Wayne Hopkins, Harold Patri, Frances Hopkins and Vincent Malloy. As my guide was escorting me back to my hotel 1 glanced at a rather attractive show window the placard read, The Misses Patri and Sturm-Importers of ladies' gowns. A crowd congregated on a corner, as we walked along, the attraction being Howard Morton and George Scanlon dancing for pennies. T hey were the graceful dancers of the class of '20, Bernard told me the Perner twins were at the head of a Latin department in Sunny Crest Seminary a boarding school for young ladies. Beatrice Mularkey is preciptress and Emma Gartzke presides over the destiny of the German Department. Thus runs the ambitions of the class of '20. N. E. S., '20.' Page Forty-two
