THE REFLECTOR I 9 2 3 PROPHECY - l9Z8 fContinued from Page Fifteenl :sf wk at Pk :of :if IESSIE BOURNE - What's wrong with that radio now? Oh well, if it won't go, it won't. Listen to what I found in the Oxford notes of this old-home-town paper' The McGuffey School directors have at last suc- ceeded in obtaining a man to Hll the vacancy in the faculty of MCG High School, that was caused by the resignation of Principal C. S. Bunger. Mr. jack Hill is to take the place left vacant by the retirement of Mr. Bunger. Although Mr. Hill was kicked out of McGuffey twice when a boy, he en- tered college with aspiration. During his junior year, he found a Phi Bet key on the Slant Walkf I' BEA TRICE - 'lThat reminds me, Carvel, did you get tickets for the theatre? Esther Klemme is making her debute this evening. She's with the Metro-Goldwyn Opera Company, accompaning Mary Garden. CARVEL - UNO, I didn't. I forgot to. Static! Qfools with radiol RADIO -- 'lMiss Virginia Skinner will now give her weekly lecture on Evils of Association with the Masculine Sex DOROTH I' - Shels principal of Madame Star's famous seminary now. RADIO - The trial of Miss Dorothy Clark, Salt Lake City, is about to be broadcasted from this station. IESSIE - HIt's a shame Dot turned out so bad, I remember when she argued strongly against even a niodihcation of the Volstead Act. May- be she had planned her life then and was afraid it would ruin her trade. Think of Dot, a bootlegger queen. BEA TRICE - 'll got a letter from Leah Smith this morning. She's married and lives in New York. By the way, did you buy any of those books from the agent this afternoon? IESSIE - No, why? BEA TRICE - 'fWelI, I just wondered. That history book was writ- ten by Hugh Kirkpatrick. Do you remember him? I guess he has found Spain at last. He's a second Schapiro now. CARVEI, - When I go to Washington next week, I think l'Il take the train instead of the trans-continental bus. Lewis Pentecost always was a reckless driver, T hree hundred people have been killed since he started driving the bus. BEA TRICE - 'fWell, if Lewis is driving, I know l'd go on the train. Station KRZ is broadcasting the radio opera, that great epic of the Span- ish trolley bus1ness,- 'Carmenf Paul Jewell, Irwin Kunkel, and Gregory Chappars are the main actorsf' DOROTHY - 'iCharIes Shugert, noted orator, will treat us with his resounding voice when he speaks under the auspices of the same station at 8:30.

Hello folks, I haven't much to say-tf' , IESSIE - CTurning the radio to another stationj We don't want to hear that. ll6l

THE REFLECTOR 19 Z S Prophecy of the Class of l9Z8 tScene -- The home of the actors in Chicagog in 19305 Newsboy yells outside door Extra! Extra! Three local men return from a trip around the world. CARVEI. fcomes breezing inj HeIlo! just bought a paper and here's what is says: freadsj Wolf Handschin, Harry Wadleigh, and Allen Funk- houser have just returned from a trip around the world in which they mastered the profanity of nine languages. They also sampled the drinks of nineteen countries. DOROTH Y Ll:'DWl:'LL - Well some others from that class develop- ed the Wanderlust too. Lucinda Hadsel is in Spain teaching French to the Irish located there. Do you remember the time she read Les Miserables to us one day in Hrst year French? BEA TRICE BUCHANAN - HI remember when she read that but I was too dumb to understand very much of it. Let's have some music. Sta- tion McG has a rather good program tonight. fShe turns on the radioj RADIO - Station McG, Oxford, Ohio, broadcasting. The next thing on the program will be -lack Burke's orchestra from the Blue Room of Castle Farm. We are very fortunate in having this orchestra with us this week. They have just returned from a European Tour. CStaticj DOROTHY - Turn that off! There's too much static treads from radio programj Genevieve Morris is reading some of her best recipes to- night. It's funny she should have turned out to be such a strong advocator of home-making. She never seemed to care for it when she was in McGuf- fey. She didn't even take home economics. CARVEL - Everyone of the class of '28 is achieving lame. Hazel Sandridge is touring Europe giving speeches for the President T or at least that's what Kendle said. BEA TRICE - USpeaking of old acquaintances, I was talking to Mary Anderson today. Did you know she left Miami to elope with a pro- spective farmer lad when she was a Freshman? Well, she did! They're living on a farm out near Mixerville. I guess Mary is as well known now for her time Plymouth chickens and scientinc house-keeping, as she was a few years ago for her acting on the McGulfey stage. DOROTHY - Well good for Mary! With her notoriety and Lee Himelick's famous Anti-Kink, Oxford's being put on the map. Is there any- thing on the radio? QCarveI turns it onj RADIO - 'fStation MCG broadcasting. Miss Rosemary DuVaII is on the air now. She will speak to you on the subject, What did the Hemis- sphere?. Tomorrow night at this time the Reverend Irene French will give a sermon on 'Why did Moses have lights that went outP' This debate delves deeper into darkness than any study since her oration on 'What makes the black night black?' Fred Schuster will accompanv her on his new ipouyth-organ. I take great pleasure in introducing to you in fthe voice cies Continued on pages Sixteen and Forty-Hvej ll5I
