Class Prophesy M 1 IFE is but a stage upon which everybody plays a part. A thing that occured to me the other day as I was driving my street car, across the well-known corner of Madison and Third, was to find out what each of my old school mates of M. U. S. were doing for their livelihood. I decided to get Butler, a man of note in the city, who operates a Beauty Parlor on the distinguished corner of Beale and Main, to help old maids get a chance to leave home. Mclnnis, who is in co-operation with Butler, has taken over all of Miss Hutchinson ' s property, as she has retired. Mclnnis has ac- complished much in the advancement ot education among girls and in getting the city to make a speed limit of It miles per hour so it will be safe for them to cross the street, lie has spent 18 years in trying to give girls the benefit of his education. I phoned these two old friends of mine and planned a meeting in the annex hall to the woman ' s building of Mclnnis ' school. We planned to find out where and what each boy of our senior class was doing. It was reported that Lem Cooke had graduated from Princeton and Yale, and had spent four years in study- ing in mathematics at Oxford, England. He is now head of the mathematics depart- ment of Cambridge, England, and is trying to get the United Kingdom of Great Britain to follow the example set by the United States in abolishing all alcoholic drinks. We have noticed Glenn Calvert playing the leading part in Sinners in Paradise . He has become quite famous and is a favorite actor among the mod- ern girls. Mclnnis was recently told that George Brown spent his time riding through the country on freight trains, but at present has a serious case of Hebe jebees, as some one suggested the name of a girl. It is known to all that he turns deathly sick even at the name of any woman. Butler reported at one of the club meetings that he had seen Clark traveling with a sideshow, belittling himself by playing the part of the bearded lady. He has created quite a bit of excitement and is indeed quite a successful freak. A recent letter from Fentress, one of the successful members of our class, who has made his vast wealth in getting large corporations out of debt and putting them on their feet again. He is so successful at his art that he has often been called to foreign nations. He said that he ran across Harris Britton, the sole owner of his name, running a barber shop on the corner of 539th street, west and 589th street, north. Fentress said he will continue to have his hair cut there, although he has not any on the top of his head, but a little grows on the side and under his nose. Page Twenty-six
