He refuses to be served by the customary Negro servants. They are discharged and a retinue hired from New York. At the last minute, the new hirelings fail to appear. Since the rental has been made to finance the father’s pursuit of health in a foreign country, the situation is a serious one. Olivia, the ever alert and inventive young lady, immediately turns her brothers and sisters into servants, even against their vigorous protestations. They suffer many and serious complications in which the natural aristocratic and assumed servile habits of the young Dangerfields fail to fuse. Crane, after dismissing all servants but the cook, and losing all of his guests, is alone with the cook, Jane Ellen. Despite Randy Weeks’ protestations, they come together and, after Crane recognizes Olivia in Jane Ellen, “they live happily ever after.

 IE; U r r »■—1 : FEES ■- 4 u f ajj CLASS PROPHECY It is a rule that History repeats itself. Hut that rule has been openly defied and violated; and by none other than the daring Class of 1924 of Mound Consolidated High School. Never before in the History of the High School have its annals been able to present such a striking amount of variety as was developed by that Senior Class of ‘24 within twenty-five short years after their graduation. Verily they embody all the spices of life. Here is the record of that amazing class: Having learnt first hand from his last campaign manager, what the terrible effects of feeblemindedness are, Paul Anderson, leader of the Mormons, and Candidate for President in the last election, has established a large private institute for the feebleminded of the nation to keep them away from the rest of the citizens. Mr. Anderson is now a strong advocate of government by the Intelligentsia.” Mrs. Ole Olson, nee Charlotte Johnson, as wife of the Mayor of Gazump, is now basking in the matrimonial bliss of a happy marriage and motherhood. With all three of her children at college, Mrs. Olson is again trying her hand at the age-old game of match-making to bring together finally and for all time two school friends and co-citizens of Gazump, Miss innifred Turnham and Mr. Chester Kdlund. After an ardent love affair the two parted on a beautiful spring night after a petty lovers’ quarrel. Miss Turnham is now a prim and much-respected citizen. As to her age, the population of Gazump is still guessing. Mr. Kdlund is a full-fledged member of the Bachelors Only club, and, except when his chronic indigestion is extremely bothersome, he is a pleasing and rotund man of leisure. After ten years of striving for the ixjsition, Marcella Beise has for the last fifteen years been chief bottle-washer for the Mikado of Japan. Unsuccessful in love, Chester Ax vail underwent an operation guaranteed to make his face irresistible. He now occupies the back garret in a Minneapolis tenement house and subsists on a diet of milk and crackers, earned by shelling nuts and making paper flowers. Mr. Boris Sineheff now occupies the high position of Chief Inspector at Ellis Island. Since he has undertaken the job there has been little clamor for complete suspension of European Immigration. Babe Jackson, upon learning that in Canada the sexes equal ten males to every one female, taking all her wiles with her, migrated up north. It being leap year, she soon caught the good old scout Ralph Kowalke. They are now tearing down the old log cabin and building a frame one in its place. Because of a short circuit in the wire, Ethel Terp, while taking a message at Art Gebo’s two years ago, died of electrocution. She remained a Miss” to the end. Since the beginning of the tussle between the United States and Japan, Doris Kuske and Angeline Brandtner have been operating Submarine Chasers around about the Philippine Islands. Donald Dullum was for twelve years the second Valentino of the screen. He is now recuperating at a j)oorhouse in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Miss Harriet Thompson, the noted authoress of Rumpus Ridge, Alabama, has written many books, including her three most famous, “The Undying Pas- (Continued on page 70) —18—
