Class Prophecy G. C. Gracious, but I am glad that we are back aren't you? M. K. Yes, but I certainly enjoyed the trip. r G. C. Well, I did too and wasn't England simply wonderful. M. K. Yes, but I liked France the better. G. C. One surely sees some sights over there but we have some wonders in our own country too such as Niagara Falls. That makes me think you remember our old classmates Marion Curtis and Florence Keller don't you? When I came through Niagara I heard that they were going to race each other down the falls in a barrel. M. K. I should like to see it. I imagine it would be rather exciting. Did you know that Ray Phillips has invented a new kind of a Tucker for a sewing machine? f QG. C. Really? GM. K. Yes and he has made a nice little fortune from it. I suppose you knew Marjorie Dean was giving vocal lessons in Boston during the summer Sessions. 1 .G.IC. Yes, I heard about that, but did you know that Mary Minar had written a book entitled Letters to Walter. M. K. She has? I always knew she had the makings of an authoress in her. All our old classmates seem to be quite famous. Eunice Hunt is the manager of a well known hair-dressing and manicuring apartment in Paris and Florence Grindling is her chief assistant. G. C. You don't say? You know Graydon Collar has always ex- pressed a desire to become a school teacher. He is now teaching school at Backus road. M. K. He is? Who would ever imagine him being dignified enough for a school teacher? That reminds me, Bernice Parker is the dean of a young ladies' seminary at Boston and Esther Lamb is one of the teachers. G. C. Indeed? Ruth Every is living on a large dairy farm and is selling her butter and eggs to the Otis grocery store. Ethelyn Straight is one of the milk-maids on this farm. M. K. Honestg Ethel Baldwin, Lois Olds and Esther Greve are all ladies of leisure. They spend their winters in the south and their sum- mers abroad. G. C. Who would have guessed that all of this would have come to pass in just eight years. Strange things certainly do happen. G. C. Sz M. K.
