The A arm Page Seventeen Prophecy of the Seniors T . HEN I came back to Manlius after ten years abroad, 1 found the city and its people somewhat changed. The High School that I had left in June 1924, was back among some very large trees, almost shut off from the road. A large base-ball diamond and two tennis courts were on the west side of the building where a meadow previously had been. I went down town and to my amazement found that a new theater and Post Office had been erected during my absence. As I was going into the Post Office I saw John Smith distributing the mail with the assistance of his wife, who had formerly been Blanche Blackmer. Blanche invited me to tea. While we were visiting she told me the fate of the class of '24. Virden Caskey and Arleta were living on a farm just east of Manlius and had three of the dearest children. Eleanor Jenkins had fought fiercely against Arleta but after a hard fought battle, Arleta came out victorious because Virden said he didn't like actresses. Harold Dablcr and Oreetha Monson Dabler were teaching in a High School in Rockford. Oreetha was an English teacher and Hap was the Ag teacher. They were very well liked because they had a contract with the school to stay eight years. Ernest Lebahn and Blanche Hansen were in the Klondykes digging gold. They went up there on their honeymoon and never came back. They were so happy they decided to stay. Ike had become a great artist and lived in Florida so he could paint the picturesque scenes there. He married a Palm Beach Beauty and they found Florida an ideal place for their love nest. Ruth Shepard went to Glasford to secure a job in an office, but her work didn’t last long—Bill Wilson changed her mind. Pete Glafka and Harold Anderson were teaching in the West. Pete had been jilted and then decided to leave the places that brought back memories, taking with him his old class-mate Harold for a companion. Gladys Dabler was married but was teaching school west of New Bedford. Since her husband was a teacher she also took up the profession. Lucille White was living in Dove Cottage, Lovers’ Lane, a suburb of Milwaukee. She said she certainly enjoyed working in a meat market. Mr. and Mrs. Oloffson were living on a farm south-east of Manlius. Lester said Antionette made a dandy little house-wife. Hazlle Gudgell was the only one left and I wondered what her fate might be, so I asked Blanche where she was. Blanche said the last heard from her she was living in Oneida where her husband ran Frank Grampp’s Poultry House, he was boss at the Poultry House, but believe me, she was boss at home. —V. P. '24
