30 THE MEDILLITE While watching this procession, I heard a familiar voice at my elbow and turning I discovered it to be that of my old friend Libbie Silverman, who later told me that she was now happily married to New York's greatest Butter and Egg Man. Beside her stood Miss Esther Newschiller who was also married. She had married the sue-- cessor to John Barrymore, the great actor. The next day being my day off, I went to the theatre. On the screen was a picture in which a few of the greatest actorsof the stage- were starred. Taking the main part was Miss Madeline Feola. An- other important part was being acted by Christine Greene, and tak- ing the part of three children were Theresa Izzo, Rose Karel, and Frances Watkins. The play was written by Dina Markuson and directed by Bessie Sandler. After the play, there was a good entertainment under the direc- tion of Lillian Cohen. Frances Roule, Rose Aiello, and Bessie Carger- man, in person, put on a new stunt which met with instantaneous suc- cess. The publicity woman of the day, Rita Rosenthal, was the sue-- cessful advertiser and Alice Etheridge the originator and composer. 4:00 A. M., Monday, January 28, 1939, and my alarm is ringing itself weak. But, what a dream I've had. Good luck, classmates of mine, may this dream come true! SADIE HOFFING, Class Prophet.

THE MEDILLITE 29 p Prophecy of February, '29, Class Two 'Year Course 4:00 A. M., Monday, January 28, 1939. Miss Hoffingf' called the Editor-in-chief, there is a troupe of Europe's most popular singers, dancers, and instrumental musicians coming on the Brittannica. Hurry down to the docks and bring in a story. Upon my arrival at the wharf, I found there was a commotion,- all of the people tried to get down to the end of the wharf to see the geniuses. I hurriedly rushed down to the front, then stopped in amazement, for who should be walking down the gang-plank, but my old classmates, Olga Prodich and Shirley Hauser, as the world's most popular singersg Ida Cohen, Sedelle Gelman, and Clara Goldman as the pianists, Angelo Acquila, Sophy Malonovitch, and Ida Sherman as the violinistsg and Concetta Onesti, Nine Pope, and Marian Farb as the dancers. Just then the president of the United States, Mr. Albert Spicker- man, and his secretary, Miss Molly Zingarelli, drove up in a beautiful car to welcome our visitors. A figure in the stern of the ship attracted my attention. At a second glance, I found him to be another of my classmates, now, Cap- tain Joseph Matulis. ' I then went back to my ofiice and was in the act of typing my story, when the Editor-in-chief rushed in exclaiming, Miss Hofiing! leave everything at once! rush down to the aviation field, I have just received a tip that two young ladies of high personage will arrive in fifteen minutes. Arriving, I found them to be Lucy Saltorelli and Emily Viola, who had distinguished themselves in the business world and now ranked among the most prominent and wealthiest women. Accom- panying them as their private secretaries were Goldie Sterling and Elsie Olak. After a warm and cordial greeting, they surprised me by presenting Mr. Isadore Degozinsky as the pilot of the plane. The next day, while strolling down the street, I encountered my old friend Emily Oberlin, who told me that she had married a multi- millionaire, and was now living happily in a huge mansion on the out- skirts of the city. ' Leaving her, I walked into the court house with the hopes of obtaining some news. Upon entering the court room, I glanced at the judge and stopped in amazement, for who should it be but my old chum, Evangeline Chipianitis. Sitting at a little table in front of the judge was Miss Lillian Rothner as State's Attorney. The lawyer fight- ing the case was Lillian Mulig. Among the jurors were more of my classmates: Pauline Broder, Viola Sylvester, Charlotte Soldato, Mad- eline LaPorte, and Frances DeGraphsky. A few hours later, on my return home, I saw people standing on the curb of the sidewalk waving their hats and shouting There is the new King and his betrothed ! I hurried to the curb to see the lucky girl. I saw a beautifully dressed woman with reddish gold, curly hair sitting beside the King. Something about the woman was familiar, and on closer observation I saw her to be Reva Abromovitz. Sitting beside her was her financial adviser, Miss Anna Mulig.
