THE 1926 ODRANOEL A new Asbassador to China has been appointed by President Thomas Mulhern. This new ambassador, William' McPhee, was a former classmate of the president. James McGough will be a professional jockey. It is certain his weight does not tax the horse very much. Horrors! a train accident! And the engineer is Harold Meeker. Do you sup- pose the Hagman, Matthew Mullin, could have gone to sleep on duty? They are fortunate to have Dr. Reva Neimark so near. Samuel Posten, an undertaker, thought this would be the source of a pair of shoes for baby, but he is mistaken this time. ' lbiargaret McClain, the thrill lover, will make a trans-Pacific flight as aviatrix of the ZX 5. Later she will attempt to Hy over Mt. Etna. i It is surprising to know what the members of a class are going to be. Reverend Robert Runyon will be assigned to the Belford church for the coming year. At the Capitol Theatre in Leonardo, Margaret O'Keefe is seen every night, patiently fulfilling her antics as program girl. Roy Schaeffer will be the winner of the beauty contest held at Atlantic City. He will be awarded a gold loving cup, and the title of All-Jersey's Most Handsome Man. A more capable, earnest missionary than Louise Palmer, cannot be found. She will do wonderful work in the Far East. l Minnie Phraner will be popular at Leonardo High School as Physical Training instructor. As coach of the Yale football team, Otto Schnoor will produce the best team that Yale has ever had. Helen Quast is going to be the companion and maid of a well-known society woman and will travel in Europe. Norbert Simpson is in training at the Naval Training Station at Norfolk, Va., and will sail soon for Africa. ' Palmistry will have a great attraction for Lucille Rothenberg. She will read the palm to raise money to help educate the orphans. . - lVIany compliments have been given to Orrin Soule, the chef, for the delicious dinners which are served at the Majestic Hotel, Atlantic Highlands. The Girl Scouts under the direction of Captain Ethel Rowlands will do re- markable welfare work. Ruth Sias will be employed as the stenographer for Honorable Russell John- ston, the new U. S. Supreme Court Justice. ' Anna Stava will return to Leonardo High School and teach U. S. History and Problems of American Democracy. l have been told that George Uhrig is fond of athletics and I see him as pitcher for the Yankee's Baseball team. Mary Teaney will be a Commercial Art Designer. Her work will occupy a prominent place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Belford, N. One of the elevators in' the Majestic Hotel at Atlantic Highlands will be op- erated by Mildred Thomas. Frank Waldman will give exhibits showing the strength of a human body. One of the Congresswomen from New Jersey will be Elsie VanNess. She will be an advocate of clean politics. Ottilie Wilson will make a very proficient stenographer for President Thomas Mulhern. Few people will imagine Wilson Miller as a biologist, but that is what he will be. lVIary Hailstork will be renowned for her candy kitchen at Los Angeles. James McPhee will be conductor of the Harmony Orchestra which will play for Victor records. I have now told you the future of each member of the class of 1926. Many more people are waiting for Minerva to answer their questions so she must leave you. I am wishing you all success. 30

THE 1926 ODRANOEL Cllilass 3Btuphztp arm?-,ftfpq SEE Eleanor Brower as a choir girl. Her sweet voice is heard and admired by many people. She, also sings to the sick and cheers their weary hearts. Fashionable dresses appeal to Eleanor Conover, and her desires will be satisfied because I see her as a dress model. A farmer and a farmerette! They are George Dangler and Anna Dewender. At least they are not afraid of work. ' Mildred Donaldson, who has shown so much skill with a brush while in High School will be a famous artist. Her class-mates will be very proud of her some day. It takes a good steady man to be a dentist and Douglas Edwards will certainly be a very successful one at Belford, the fifth largest city in the U. S. Anna Eastmond is going to be known for her designing ability. She will win first prize at the Asbury Park Fashion Show fora dress especially designed to slender- ize the figure. . Connecting distant parts of the world so people can converse will be done by lyladeline Gericke, who will be the chief operator at the telephone exchange in Keansburg. l can see a toe dancer flitting along like a cloud blown by the wind. The graceful little dancer is llflargaret Gould. A Steady, ever' steady is Genevieve Langner who sits by the hour typing at the Typing Demonstrations for the Underwood Company in New York City. At the Metropolitan Opera House, I see a long waiting line. The great at- traction is Mildred Leonard, who is making her debut. Arnold Hess will make a business trip to the Orient where he will meet with great success, selling his Little Purple Pills. lt seems-a shame accidents have to happen. Edward Horn is recovering from a fractured skull which was caused by a fall from the thirty-fourth floor of the hotel he was helping to build. He owes his rapid recovery to the tender, motherly care of his trained nurse, Edith Horner. A The new summer hats will be designed by Marie Kessler. She will have a millinery shop on Shrewsbury Avenue, Red Bank. Many mothers will be thankful to Ella May Hankinson for the bed time stories which she will write for the Newark Evening News. Evelyn Hart and Arline McDonnell are going to have a beauty parlor. Evelyn will cut, curl and dress the hair, and Arline will be the manicurist. The music department of Howard University will be under the supervision of Beatrice Hurley who was once a student of the University. . Austin Johnson -will be the dignified professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Bertha Heath will be a linguist, and will be very helpful to importers of foreign goods. The prominent hostess of Asbury Park will be Mary Lang. She will do much benevolent work that few people will know anything about. ' I can see Beulah Howard at Carnegie Hall playing a violin. She is so ab- sorbed in her playing she does not notice the crowd before her. . . .Montie Jones believes f'if youlaugh, the world laughs with you, if you weep you weep alone. Some people may not recognize him as a clown in Barnum 56 Bailey's circus. Because of his extensive knowledge of the good roads from north to south, and from east to west, Robert Krebs will be a good chauffeur. The land of the Golden West appeals to Eileen MaVVhinney. She is the owner of a ranch, and spends most of her time riding Surefast, her favorite horse. Noise!! Noise! What is all this noise! I believe-why yes it it-Alfred Labrecque, an auctioneer. 29
