MoNTKfcA'i N'ikmai, School Page Sine T II i: s I N I) I A L HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY Zowcc—boom! What is that? Just a little plane landing on the planet Mars in 1942. Yes, there’s to be a great merrymaking up here tonight. The Seniors of the Montreal Normal School of ‘32 arc to meet there for a partv. Of course, the honor guests arc Dr. and Mrs. Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Woodward who arc to talk as usual. But wait! The guests arc arriving. First to come in i Sarah Boss, our president. After finishing college at Montreat she entered Moody Bible School. Then she became a pastor’s secretary. Now quite naturally, she is his helper—but in a different way. Next to come in is, not the bumblebee, but Virginia Braswell, who is president of a school in Atlanta for undernourished children. What’s this1 Oh, we hardly knew her. It is our own Betty Cain who has joined the rank of famous actresses. You sec her at night after a hard day’s work. Remember her in our Senior play, “The Rival”? Now we have with us another famed personage in the artistic way—Mildred Chandler can new sing the notes that her idol, I.ilv Pons, could sing. Mildred, we congratulate you. We want you to sing for us tonight. There are others arriving fast now. To my right is Brooke l'-d- wards, who Hew from Brazil up here. She is teaching I'.nglish in her uncle’s school there. We always thought you had your ability in I'.nglish, Brooke. Here is little Georgia Greenwood. No. she is not as slim as she used to be. Anyway, she always had a liking for anything Presbyterian—especially ministers. She has one now and is happy back in Montreal, because she can invite the girb ansi boys (oh, yes) down for parties. If you ever need anything done to you—operations (especially for the brain) or things like that, just call on Margaret Harri n. You sec she is now one of the world’s greatest surgeons. Klcanor King! No, that doesn’t sound right to us—it is ’nut. She is to be on the program tonight with her famous impersona- tions. How well we remember her impersonations of----------with the old hat and glasses. You sec she still does that for her fun. but you probably know her better as a writer. Her latest book is “Mv Methods for Studying Knglish.” 1, is a nice book; every- body ought to read it. We also have here tonight Helen Kohl we is. You will hear and sec her play either at vour telephone or radio if you but tune in at the Doniletcher Hotel, Planet Mars. Helen i- noted all over these two planets as the second Paderewski. Watch closely her fingers and her foot work. One seldom hears of Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale any- more. I; 1' always either Yirdic Lively or Rosamond Montgomery. They have certainly won places in the hearts of the world, and we are proud to claim them. Our May Queen, Geneva Oliver, i bust training her little daughters to Ik- future May Queens at Montreat. They tried to get Geneva to stay and be the Mat Queen every year, but they let her leave when she promised to send others. Whatr Fveryone is rising! In comes the president of the United States. Certainly she must conic because it is our own Cora Belle Orr. Remember the depression back in ’32? Well, as soon as she became president, it all came out all right. Of course, you have heard of the famous Mart Richardson. She : here tonight and all smile-. She and Mr . Mel .can have school- all over the world, teaching Home Kconomics and the art of making plaits. We all remember how curlv-haired Ruth Stancil wanted to be in the circus. Her wish was granted, for now he take? the prize for being the fat lady in the -ide -how. I have not found out yet how she got up here. And here is France- Lyle, who, after finishing college, became the wife of a minister in Alabama and is doing personal and social work among the young people. I. as , but not least, we have with us Janie Perrin Stevens. She f II-wed in the footsteps of her famous father and went back to her beloved China as a missionary. This ’« all because there i- no more. I hope you are all looking an] I sterling and won’t miss a single feature of this delightful entertainment. This is the Donfletcher Hotel, broadcasting from Planet Mars, 1942. The program begins v':h Francks Lyi.i:, Class Prophet.

You know the one in the hook-room everyone has been wanting to buy. Well, we’ve dccdcid to whom we’re going to give it. Oh, just a minute! l ct me tell you about those games. Every class has played every other class, and by the way—we arc all still good friends. Of course there’s some mighty hefty teams and some mighty “puny” ones; and some of us nearly got hurt, but we’re still together enough to give those Junior Normals a big hand and tell them they can really play basketball. The sportsmanship of that team is to be admired also. Now—the cup! Yes, just as you thought. We take great pleasure in presenting the loving cup to the Junior Normal team, and we wish to say, “You have played well and deserve this honor. Hail, Junior?!
