UM, ,Q c 5' 2 1 s 6 I g g I 9 3 4 103 Koo CLASS PROPHECY OF 1934 GEORGIAN: For the past two years I have been employed as the Secretary to the Secretary of State. Mr. Worthington, also of this city. is a very enterprising young lawyer. As it happens, we are the only two members of the graduating class of '34 that are now residing in the city of Washington, D. C. Imagine yourself in my office, where the many electrical devices. give me the privilege of having a great deal of leisure time. At the present time, I am unoccupied. fScaff'd, talking to herself! I wonder where all of the old class is? It has been so long a time since I have heard from any of them, and I have lost track of so many. DAVID: fE1l2'C?'fJlg with satchrl znzdcr his armj Good afternoon. Miss Dreher. Is Mr. Tuni- Vitch in? GE-IRGIAN: Yes, he is, but he will be busy for about 15 or 20 minutes. Wont you sit down? DAVID: Yes, thank you. GEORGIAN: Yes, he is, but he will be busy fou came in. I was just thinking about our class U and had almost decided to call you up and ask you about some of them. You know it was just exac lv ten vears ago this month that we graduated from Hi h School. I . . - - : 3 DAVID: Ten years ago! My, it doesnt seem possible. GEORGIAN: Yes, in the class of '34. DAVID: just think of the changes that have taken place since then. GEORGIAN: Yes, ten years ago we were altogether in one large class, and now we are scattered all over the United States and even in some of the foreign countries. DAX'IDI By the way, I have a little book here in my pocket that has all of the autographs of the members of our class in it. I found it in my desk drawer the other day. GEORGIAN: You have! May I see it? DAVID: Surely. I think perhaps you can tell me something about some of the members of our class. GEORGIAN: fGfl1lZt'flIg dorm Ihr Iistj I see the first one you have down here is Margaret Alex- ander. . She has formed what we call a Life Long Partnership with Donald Taylor and they have a large Beauty Salon in Xenia. And theres Edna Mae Lyle. You remember she and Miriam Leach were always good friends. Well. they are operating two of the long chain of Restaurants that the Priest boy owns. Edna is in Bainbridge. and Miriam is in Chillicothe with Spot . I am surprised that Howard Willson ever made anything out of himself. You knew. I suppose. that he is an aviator now. Quite a dare devil too. I guess. DAVID: Yes. I guess he is! He broke all records this year. GEORGIAN: Do you know what Robert Adams is doing? DAVID: I havent heard from Adams for quite awhile, but he is just a good old fashioned Bachelor. and the only one in all of our large class. GEORGIAN: Really! And what has become of Max Badger? DAVID: Why Max is the Coach at Ohio Wesleyan University. He has had a very successful season this year in Football. And here's Yirgil Griffith. He's a traveling salesman for a folding chair company. He travels over the states of Ohio. Michigan, Indiana. and Illinois. GEORGIAN: Thats grand. And heres Arthur Harris' name. I havent thought of him for C ages. Whats he doing? DAVID: He's running a hamburger stand in Hillsboro. They say that people quite frequently go from Greenfield to Hillsboro just to get one of his delicious special hamburgs. .l rr' rf rr rr r r ri' gin m l nm :f ruit .. rr 1- illllg iii ii E ii ra 6 ' 1- rv Jillian rr r ri., I rf rn I u r P A THE DRAGON - yzr I . .

A-Cl-414 '7' '2- 1 8 6 I S Z I 9 3 4 so 0+ J 'xo GEORGIAN: Let's see. Oh, yes, Dorothy Ashling is the next one on the list. I know all about Dorothy. She is still a Gold Digger and is after her employer, Mr. Russel Kerr. She is his attrac- tive and efficient secretary. Next comes Ethel Carroll. She is an official housekeeper in Blanchester for her U n cle Blondie . Florence Bryant is a mistress in the nursery in Marshal Fields in Chicago. Louise Countryman. I don't know anything concerning her. Do you? DAVID: Why yes. Louise is running the Delmar Cafe in Hillsboro. And Junior Duckworth. We used to call him Ducky . Remember? Of course you know he is an outstanding young Civil Engineer. He is the head engineer for the St. Lawrence waterways project. Would you believe it? Charles Coler is teaching dancing at Roger Bacon High School in Cincinnati. One of our class has turned out to be a very noted swimmer. It is none other than :Homer Chaney. He is on the United States Swimming team and is swimming in the Olympics at Paris this year. I understand that Manz Orr Glassner is a very successful farmer down in Adams county. Charles Hill has the agency of all the out-of-town papers which come into Greenfield. GEORGIAN: They say Forest Hill is a jolly and big-hearted conductor on the B. K O. Railroad. Alice Douglass, of course is married, and she and Howard have moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina so that Howard can take care of his fathers fruit orchard. n Marguerite Swisshelm is operating a Beauty Salon for the purpose of beautifying the men folk. Alice Evans is her Manecurist. I guess she is quite satisfied. Lucile Ervin once prophesied herself an Old Maid raising cats. Well it certainly has come true. She has one of the largest Cat Kennels in the Country. Q Ernest McCullough is a forest ranger and he has to walk ten miles a day then ride horse-back eight- miles and then drive a patrol car the remainder of the day, showing that he is still in good physical condition as in the days of High School football. fL0oking over the next few namrsj I have lost track of the next few persons. Do you know where they are? DAVID.: Well, Lawrence Lucas is married to a lovely French Maiden. His marriage was the result of his French correspondence which he started in his senior year at high school. Strange how things turn out isn't it? Robert Kyle is the second engineer out of our graduating class. He is a very progressive Chemical Engineer. .About two weeks ago while on a business trip to Columbus. Ohio. I stopped at the Red Bird Stadium to see a ball game. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Charles Jacobs was play- ing short stop for the Red Birds. ' Dean Whited is one of the most outstanding artists and would you believe it-Janice Handley IS his model. 'I expect if you would drop in on -lesslyn Hammond just now you would find her preparing some special dish for her Bankers Dinner. GEORGIAN: And I know some of these. Elizabeth Hedges is a governess and I understand that she has accepted a position with one of the very wealthy and aristocratic families on Long Is- land. O lone Hamilton, of course, is a farmers wife and is living a very busy life. They have a large poultry farm. 1 Rosemary Harkins and Morris Montgomery were married quite a while ago and Morris is man- aging the Greenfield Republican Office. .i.lml rrrf' rr ff- r'I'r9' is g ' LL LI.
