METIER for 1940 Page 14 Class Prophecy Washington. D. C. Dear Betty, When I see that Honolulu post mark. I'm always prepared for surprises and that last letter—! If I’m not proud of you—Ahem—“President of the University of Hawaii”! Congratulations! Say—aren’t Art and A1 really making headlines? I’m surely glad you saw them when they stopped there on their round-the-world hop. Are they breaking records! You asked for a checkup on our beloved class of ’40, so— Of course you know about Mary and her success in opera. The critics say she's a second Schumann-Heinke. Louise has finished her nurses' training and is now supervisor of a private hospital for Hollywood celebrities. Lois is on the west coast too, private secretary to some movie “big shot . Dick Heppeard, in uniform as usual, is an instructor at West Point. Mary Ellen kept books at the store you know—well, she has just announced her engagement to the Lieut. Governor of Ohio. Some chap. Stanley has just published another new book on Photography. Pretty good from what I hear. Boyer is certainly burning the public ear with his hot speeches in the House of Representatives on ’Balancing the Budget . He is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Dobe, happily married, has just come back from Europe on the clipper. She's staying in New York. Harvey is now one of the biggest livestock buyers in the middle west—he always was convincing. Chick is in the poultry business. He caters to the swanky restaurants and really rakes in the cash. Of course Berlin still holds down his job. He is one of the most popular of all NBC announcers. Say—doesn’t Bill Schwarck pull some real ones in his column? Makes you think of Will Rogers. By the way, Lafayette has been doing some headlining with his research work at the Mayo Clinic. Some “Medico”. Gene Hook has just perfected a new gas that will revolutionize modern warfare—it counteracts and neutralizes poison gases. Some inside stuff—since Lloyd Ellis made such a hit with his band in New York, he has pulled down a fat movie contract. Not bad! Steve and Putman have crashed the majors. Both are playing for the Cincinnati Reds and with them in the line up the Yanks are “gone”. Me? I'm still hooked up with INS, jumping hither and thither over this old earth. I tell you it’s a grand life!! (?) Enough! , Your Pal, Alice

JUNIOR HISTORY The Freshmen Initiation, given by the Seniors, was the outstanding (and incidentally painful) event in our Freshman year, while a successful class party topped our social calendar as Sophomores. As Juniors, we have been very busy. Our activities this year include: attending the annual high school Hallowe’en Party; accepting an invitation to a wiener roast given by the Seniors; sponsoring a roller skating party; presenting our Junior Class Play, “Sunbonnet Jane of Sycamore Lane”; and, last but certainly not least, providing a reception for the Seniors. In addition to these things, our class has been decidedly active in basketball, baseball, assembly programs, and club activities. Mr. Elam, faculty advisor to our class, has been extremely valuable in helping us with our many problems. Class officers are: President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Dorothy Hays Edna Book Ardyth Drake Jean Crites
