(IIn' Alarm Sophomore Class Prophecy Dear Evelyn: After having visited all the members of the Senior Class of ’29, while on a tour around the world, 1 will tell you their fate for it is so unique that I cannot keep it to myself. Our dear friend, Leatha Smith owns a plantation in Cuba, but she doesn’t like it on account of the thieves. Her jewelry was stolen from under her pillow the first night she spent there, and the people didn’t even seem interested. I’m sure I wouldn’t stay there very long, would you? The thieves in India are even worse, for they stole Kathryn’s water-waving combs, while she and Clifford were there on their honeymoon. Clifford felt more grieved about it than did Kathryn for he had to return to the United States with straight hair. Some men are so particular you know. Marvin Hewitt owns a truck farm in Holland and declares there will be no more United States for him. Helen Hochstatter and Ronald Dabler decided to surprise the community and they certainly did by getting married. 1 just know Helen won’t like married life. She wanted to be a movie star. After having been defeated three times for president, William Draper left the country. He never told anyone where he was going. Probably you have seen Darlene Souser’s picture in the papers for she has gained much fame with her sweet voice. Bertel Carlson carved a beautiful statue out of marble and he is now one of the most famous sculptors. He is helping the Italians remedy an ancient building now. I know he is good at such things for he used to help me remedy my Geometry problems. Fay Overley sings over the radio from station L.L.L. He was helped a great deal in gaining his fame by the instruction of Miss Benson. Howard Saunders is the janitor at the High School now. They say he never fails to clean the windows or sweep down the cobwebs. Frances Nelson is working her way through the University of Illinois. No men for me, she declares, and I believe it. Roger Czech gave up High School in despair. He could not remember the best fruit which is of course, dates. He found relief by entering a monastery, where he is now staying. Marvel Draper has a beautiful little cottage near Topeka, Kansas, where she lives all alone. My dearest friend, Doris Johnson, speaks about Domestic Science over the radio. She is certainly an interesting speaker. Dale Hartz is in Mexico, where he owns a three thousand acre ranch. He employs four hundred ninety-nine cowboys and not one of them is a bandit. Conrad Hudson is a great singer and has just signed a contract with the Raabe and Jensen company. As you know Kenneth and Daniel decided to Page Twenty-seven

While there she will take a course in dressmaking and she plans to return and teach Home Economics at the Manlius High School, then. Arlene Pierson just published her latest book. She has written several very good ones but this one is predicted to be greater than any of them. The name of it is Go Away, Caroline. Frances Dabler has become world famous by designing windows for large Cathedrals. Virden Johnson is a comedian for the Fox Film Co. His last picture “Corn Shucks is very humorous and is a great success. I can't write any more for I have begun to think of the picture and it is so comical 1 can’t stop laughing. Your friend, Elizabeth F. Mr. French:—“Can you tell me the name of any animal peculiar to Australia.” Dale:—“The rhinoceros.” Mr. French:— Wrong. Rhinoceroses aren’t found in Australia.” Dale:— Well, that’s exactly why it would be peculiar.” Bill Draper:— Do you think you could care for a chap like me?” Viola J.:— Oh 1 think so—if he wasn’t too much like you.” Albert A.:— Say dad, what's the difference between college bred and any other kind of bread? Mr. Alpaugh:— Well, son, college-bred is a four-year loaf. Glenn’s idea of a real Scotchman is one that makes his aerial out of barbed-wires so the birds can't sit on it. A guide was explaining to Fay about Niagara Falls. Guide:—“It is said if a penny is thrown into the Falls, it will bring good luck to the person who threw it in. Fay:—(pulling a penny from his pocket)—“Have you a bit of string? Thompy:—“Are you the fresh young fellow who sold me this stuff for tooth paste? Clerk:- Yes sir.” Thompy:— Well, I tried for half an hour this morning and I’ll be hanged if it would make my teeth stick in. Page Twenty-eight
