HI-TIMES Senior Class “Propheci]’’ It was a dark Saturday night and a fine rain misted the wind-shield, making it hard for us to see the road. We were proud of the way our car pulled. We had been advised to buy a “Zahniser , and now we were glad we had done so. Impatiently we shifted the lever that worked the little device that cleared the rain from the glass. The “Zimmerman”, cleaner they called it from the name of the inventor. A few rods ahead of us we could see a faint glow of light, and we drew nearer to the house we heard music and saw the lighted windows of a one story building. Arriving up to the house we left the car and entered. Many people were gathered in one corner of the large hall watching the dancers gliding over the polished floor. One couple, who were executing some fancy steps, seemed to attract particular attention. A young man, standing near whispered. That is “Kippie Huey,” and her leading man, “David Lewis”. They set the pace for the dance this season. Anxious to know more about them we questioned him concerning this hall and found it to be managed by “James Rupert”. “Over here,” he said, “You can get a better view of the Orchestra. We have the best in Pennsylvania. The piece they are now playing is, 'Just Another Day Wasted Away'! Evelyn Allen sang it in the Follies of ’34. We were wishing they would play, School Efficiency”, or ”M H S. Blues.” After enjoying ourselves for sometime we resumed our journey. The rain had ceased and traveling was not so difficult and a forty minute ride found us in Pittsburgh. We sought the Wm. Penn Hotel and were delighted when a businesslooking woman greeted us and imagine our amazement to find it to be “Eva Fox”, an old school friend. As we descended the stairs, Eva told us the many interesting features in the downtown theatres. We were bewildered as to which one we should attend and were still undecided when we reached the street; when a familiar voice shouted Taxi!!!” Where had we heard it? We signalled and the machine stopped. To the Grand Theatre! “Of all things! exchaimed the driver. Is it thus we meet? We recognized “Clark McCalla.” We talked over old times and finally arrived at the Theatre where a glaring sign-board greeted us! Mabel Nordrum and Richard Vath Starring in, “Broken Dates” We eagerly bought our tickets and went inside. The picture was marvelous, and after several hours we emerged from the theatre and decided to visit the City Museum, while reviewing the beautiful paintings we saw the artistic scroll of Evangeline O'Mahony’s name written across the corner of a magnificent picture; and whereby learned that she was a distinguished artist, also we heard that the most
