TATLER 1931 Class Prophecy One evening late in the fall of 1960 I drew from its hidden place on the mantle my cherished Tatler. Sadly thumbing the pages again I gazed at the faces of my old school pals and my mind wandered back to M. H. S. in 1931. Oh! how the times have changed, I mused. Just think Margaret McCann has secured a divorce from Harold Bidwell, decreed by Judge Hanmer, and is now Working in Franklin Giles' department store in Syracuse while her former husband has been appointed President of Mechanics Institute at Rochester. Dorothy Gardner and Thelma Smith are hostesses at the new Paul Smith's Hotel. Fred Balch is chief engineer of the St. Lawrence River project. I see that Bernard Bandy is running a cafe in Louisville while Stanley Cappiello has successfully learned the ice business. Etta Dow is acting as It girl in Skeet's Yanities. Evelyn Casselman is a model at Sybil Mulvana's Ultra Modern Shoppe in Boston. Wallace Danforth has become a speaker in the House of Representatives. Walda Crapser, formerly Walda Clarkson, is broadcasting talks on The value of children in the homef, Frieda Halpern is featured at Roxy's theatre since her return from Vienna. Mrs. Quenelle, formerly Marie Hallahan, is raising chickens in Helena. Isadore Greenblatt has finally obtained a set on the Regent's Board. Ora Henderson is Queen of Leonard Hover's 20 ring circus. Elinor Hyde is now a screen artist, specializing in aristocratic parts. Ruth Kirkey tends the bar in Havens Putnam's saloon on Center street. I can hardly imagine that Marie Lahey has finally married Guy Hutchins and Sam Lamendola has risen to First Lieutenant in U. S. Army. Alice Levine is now a cosmetic artist and is perfecting a new brand of lipstick. Auleen Murphy is a gigolette in the Purple Pup,', New York's most highbrow night club. Eleanor Mullarney is teaching American History to the African natives in the Congo jungle. Mrs. Elmer Manson, formerly Celia Mc- Guiggan, now finds a bigger life in New York where her husband edits the New York World. Florence and Jim Martin are cozily settled on a dainty little farm in Sleepy Valley at which Irene Whalen is milkmaid. Franklin Sutton is assistant crooner to Rudy Vallee. Iris Stone and John Murray are co-editors of the Whiz Band with Pop Yerdon as advisor. There on my desk lies the American with a gripping murder story by Tony Spagnola. Mrs. Harry Sharlow, formerly Bernadeen Smith, and her husband are now in their Blue Ridge Mountain home. Leonard Cobb is head football coach at Notre Dame. Nellie Cornell and Florence Gardner have signed a ten year contract with the Paris Follies. Irene Keenan is the 6th lice-President of J. J. Newberry Co. Mike Lamendola is designing scenery in Hollywood and Betty Mittiga is editing a book What I Know About History.
