Senior High School Prophecy Sitting in my study in the Boston Cooking School one evening. I began to think of my class mates of ’27, at M. X. S. I was eager to know what each one was doing, so I turned to my radio and finger- ed absent-mindedly with the various knobs and to my surprise a voice came shouting out into the stillness of my study. I soon learned that the announcer was Elizabeth Roberts and she seemed to be excited over the evening program. A little dazed, I looked to see where I had turned and saw that it was 1942 and that the station was Texas. I was delighted to learn that the speaker was none other than our own once loyal student, Grace Brown who had been recently elected Congresswoman to Texas. Unon reviewing the audience, I recognized numerous familiar faces. There was Martha Patton, now universally acknowledged as an accomplished pianist, being Mrs. Crosby Adams successor. I saw Mary Hughs and Cora Lee Harrison, who are winning their way to success as joint owners of a tea room, and Irma Henry who is a Home Economics teacher in Lee School for boys. I took ofF my headgear for a rest—A little while later. I turned to 1050 and soon found myself walking around in Paris. A stately reception was being conducted at the home of Moliere in hon- or of Marguerite White now a recognized singer. I was delighted to greet Mandy Bedinger and Eliza- beth Roberts in the receiving line. Elizabeth had been in Texas at the broad casting station but when she found that Mandy Bedinger was in Paris she left at once to join her; they are now living in the very select section of gai paris. Things began to get hazy and I next found myself in Soochun. China. I had always heard about the lovely work that the girls are doing in the Industrial School there. Who should greet me at this far way place but PrinCie Maphet? She was just radiant and explained to me that she was head director of this school. She enjoyed watching the Chinese children studying and sewing. I truned a little screw and soon had New York and found myself in one of the large auditoriums and who should walk out on the stage but Sara Harper Abernathy and Mary Seehorn; they gave such wonderful readings. I was quite surprised but remembered that they did nothing but “speak” while at M. N. S. The scene changed and I found myself in Washington in the White House. As I walked in. to my surprise I found that Elizabeth Hollingsworth had married President Coolidge’s son and she showed me all about the places of interest. She told me that Julia McElroy was dean at a large college in New Jersey and was a very rich old “maid.” I awoke with a start. My appratus was gone. My study was dark. Had it not been for my radio before me, I might have imagined that all this was just a phantasm of the night.

Perhaps we had enough to discourage us. for into our young and inexperienced lives came “Sir Algebra with all his knocks and bangs, ‘‘Lady Latin,” who sometimes made us feel rather queer by her dignified manner, and last but not least, “Mesdames English” and “History.”
