CLASS PROP!-IECY As I gaze into the crystal ball before me, I see many unbelievable things, yes, many unbelievable things. I see Charles Jenks teaching the fundamentals of Business Arithmetic and Physics to a group of admiring students in the college of Hardknocks. I look again into the crystal ball and I see a sign hanging in front of an old dilapidated bam which reads, Kellogg and Hulbert, Cow and Horse Special- ists. When asked to what they contributed their surprising success, they were quoted as saying that they owed it all to their knowledge gained in a certain professor's Agriculture class as seniors. The crystal ball is beginning to cloud up. No, it is clearing. I can see Irene Seymour as she is just being crowned World's Heavyweight Wrestler in the women's division. She says she attributed her success to throwing her small brothers around while at home and pushing the weak senior boys around her last year of high school. Again the ball is changing, for I can see a small man with several children on each knee. Yes, it is my old classmate, Everett Beals, He said his achieve- ments in life were few but that he was proud of the fine work he had accom- plished in the Super Safety Pin business. A change of scene takes place. It is the main section of Hollywood. A premiere of Drip Tease is showing. The starring lady is none other than Lois Hendrickson. I was quite shocked as Lois had never gone in for frivolity when she went to high school. The ball calls our attention to another section of the city. Here we see Lila Sinn, an internationally famous dress model. She said her success in this line was due to the wonderful fann life. The crystal ball summons us to Martensdale. It is impossible!!! Yes, yes, it is!!! Gerald Wilson is teaching the Principles of Penmanship to the students of Martensdale High School. He said that his success was acquired by merely Practicing what he preached. A dark spot appears, Wait!! It is breaking away. Here is Max Beam z - e o ix 0 I f n n n x I i i i now known as Ding Crosley, singing his way to fame in Chicago. His break came, he said, from his radio station, GAB, which he personally operated. Again we see a different scene. It seems to be a sports camival. Here is - an excellent little figure skater-she is being crowned queen of the event. It is Helen Cassady. I had always heard the saying that Dynamite comes in small packages, and this was certainly a small package of it. H Again the background changes. We seem to be at a race track. To be sure, it is the Kentucky Derby races. Francis Kelly's horse, G-qlloping Gus, has just crossed the finish line. This is the fourth consecutive year that I Francis has won. His breed of horses is one of the best in the world. His successful life is due to his intensive study while in high school. 'Y We shift to a busy business distuict. It can't be-yet it is. That carefree Don Stewart a broker in New York. He certainly looks prosperous. He is call- ing his secretary. Yes, it is Iona Miller.. They are not yet married, but it is ' predicted by all the people of the Social Register that they will soon be. They turn the radio on, We hear a familiar voice, that of Giggling Gertie. As I soon as we hear her giggle we know it to be our old classmate, Jeanne Brown. ' Her giggling career began, she said, when she was overhead giggling in Shorthand class many, many years ago. The crystal ball shows signs of trouble. It is clearing. Now I can fully see the reason. I see someone in a hospital. Yes, it is Mr. Cramer. He seems to be delirious and calling for the Senior Class of '43. I hastily summoned all my classmates and we rushed to his bedside. The doctor informed us that Mr. Cramer was the official Navy Bean Soup Taster for a local firm and had just -I gotten a sample of some bad soup. After finding us at his bedside, his complete recovery was gained. We realized that we hadn't seen each other for 13 years so we made a grand party out of it. H Each of us wcnt home harboring the thought of seeing all our classmates again some day. 5.0 go iff 9
