Class Prophet: Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjack - a prize in each and every pack, calls out a tall, thin imitation of a man. Who is this creature who's selling these delect- able dainties on the train to New York? With a lurch of the train we find him in our laps and as he clumsily struggles to his feet our question is answered! It is none other than our two-term president, Leon Shedd. He recognizes us, says hello and runs up the aisle. Close be- hind him follows the conductor who seems very interested in the farmlands which we pass. As he stops to punch our tickets we see that it's Harold Miller, and bex cause the train is stopping we don't have a chance to talk to him. We looked out of the window and found ourselves in the depot of a very small village: A team of horses stands in front of the station and a familiar dark-haired girl is driving them. We note that it is our old friend, Rosemary Ward but she is too busy chatting with Edith Pett to notice us. With a jolt our train starts again and we continue our ride uninterrupted for four hours. Arriving at Grand Central Station we look for a redcap to carry our bags. Finally one appears and leads the way across the mammoth room. Part way across we notice a large group of men carrying great posters bearing the words Farmers Annual Convention. There's only one we recognize - it's Zygmunt Wiernicki and he's still got the curly hair and winning smile which made him so well-liked in high school. After a few quick Words he dashes away and we make our way to a brilliantly colored taxi. The driver looks familiar-Why, it's Ioe Cirillo! He seems quite glad to see us and chatters all the way to our hotel- the Waldorf! After we arrive and the bell boy takes our bags, We enter the elevator. A sandy haired girl is the operator and after sev- eral unsuccessful attempts to start we are on our Way. The girl turns around to apologize and we are face to face with Dot Runyon. Arriving safely on the third floor we hurry to our room. The chambermaid is just leaving and of all things it's Isabelle Monroe. She tells us that she is married and her husband is the head bellhop in the hotel. After unpacking our things we decide that We are hungry. We take a cab and head for the White Tower. All of a sud- den the noise of a siren pierces the air. lust ahead of us we see two wrecked cars and a doctor and a nurse are at the scene. We draw up quickly - thank heaven-it's nobody we know but we do recognize the little red haired nurse, Catherine Cunningham. On the side lines stand Sarah Neff and Frances White thumbing industriously through the pages of their First Aid books and arguing over what should be done with the mangled people. Catherine asks us if we want to go to the hospital so we follow the am- bulance. When we arrive, Catherine leads us to her special patient. As we near the door we hear a loud Kerchoo and someone saying, Why do people send me daisies? We pause and as we do so we hear violent sobbing. It is Walt Burrill outside of her door. I-le explains to us that Bette is now allergic to him. We are really hungry now so Cather- ine Cunningham takes us to the diet kitchen! Who do we see there but Betty Vrooman gorging on lettuce leaves and keeping an eye on the scales at the same time! She is happy to see us and fixes a lovely lunch. After taking bi-carbonate of soda we start on our way shopping. As we enter a large department store we notice a crowd of women around the perfume counter. A dapper looking gen- tleman is spraying the air with a sweet scent and telling the women of the charms of Fleur de Fleur La Mour or Love in Bloom. I-le comes near us and we see that it is Ernie Werner. Proceeding on our way we go to the grocery department and here we find Iune Mabbett still running around trying to sell the jelly-beans left over from Easter. Close behind her follows Aggie Myers carrying two cases of canned goods. She's still as strong as ever! We see three ladies looking over the bargains on the soup counter and as they turn around to have them wrapped we recognize Ella Rowland, Ruth Watkins
