George Loveridge and Arnold WVahl are now famous track coaches. Each secured his position because of his brilliant performances in the 1936 and 1940 Olympics. Juliamary Ham became the country's youngest college president when she was elected to the presidency of Vassar College shortly after obtaining her Ph. D. at Stanford. She now has on her faculty Dorothy McMurry, Anna Chudek and Lucile Bruns. Iona Frost sent a wire stating she would be unable to attend the re- union. She is a head bookkeeper at the First National Bank of Maple Falls and has been unable to get her trial balance to balance. Jean Kroontje and Gertrude Graep have just established a new round the world flight record. Fred and George Nyland now have a corner on the bicycle business of the United States. The former Maxine Miller is a frequent visitor at Mt. Baker High School. Her main reason for coming is to straighten out her daughter's difficulties at the office. The following also often visit the high school because of their con- cern over their children's progress: Catherine Anderson, whose son Patrick has just had the lead in the Junior playg Bertha Focht, whose daughter has shown marked dramatic abilityg Phyllis Smith and Katherine Gilbert whose daughters play in the high school orchestrag and . Mary Breckenridge, whose twins, Mary and Harry, are the high school's dancing team. Irene Nessett is private secretary to Roger Boyd who has succeeded Victor A. Meyers as Lieutenent Governor. Finley Hays and Ross Mock are now the Hays-Mock team of vaude- ville fame. Two of the members of the Class of '35 are now missionaries to Borneo. They are Opal Syre and Ruth Pancerziwiski. Their reason for taking up the work is that they were disappointed in love. Perry Marcy is a singer in grand opera. He is temperamental like all great stars and fails to appear at something like one-half his perform- ances. Magdalene Franzen, Hazel Brader, and Grace Bartl are all Salvation Army lasses. Clara Bakke is in charge of the Kulshan Beauty School in Belling- ham. Barbara Boyd has become a famous tap dancer and singer. She had the lead in The Gold Diggers of 1955? Lorene Potter is teaching young girls how to get their first date. She has a special course in charm, also. Lorraine Monsen is president of the P.-T. A. at Lawrence and is noted for her civic activities in the community. Jack Richards is weather prophet and forecaster for the Nooksack River district. He makes bigger and better predictions every year. In radio circles Ralph Conner has taken the place in the hearts of the public that Baron Munchauser used to hold. The 1955 Homecoming is pronounced the best ever. Every member of the Class of '35 is accounted for and the good timesi' of high school days are revived in the memories of all present. lfiyl1tffw1

CLASS PROPHECY As we gaze into the future we can see our airplane floating toward the 1935 Homecoming celebration at the Mt. Baker High School. We are met at the door by Eugene Olmsted, who is now principal at Mt. Baker High School. Eugene has just finished making Chester Morgan Jr. write ten pages of mottoes for that last trip to town. In the conversa- tion which followed, we learned much of what had happened to other members of the class of 1935. Carl Akin has succeeded well at the art of fiddling and is playing to large audiences on street corners with his hat on one side and a tin cup full of pencils on the other. Betty Anderson, using to good advantage her experience gained as assistant editor of the Mt. Baker Beacon, is now acting in that capacity for the New York Times. Ross Johnson and Jimmie Kale are now dancing masters at the Welcome School of Dance and Drama. We find that Bob Thompson has developed into a prize lighter and is a real threat to the world champion. Alice Bollerud and Myron McGill have been awarded the prize for the year's outstanding movie performance. Red Olsen is engaged in this school as a coach. He is now turning out bigger and better pinochle teams. In twenty years experience Red himself has never admitted defeat in a three-handed game. Kenneth Carlson works for a large dude ranch and enjoys the sensation of helping fair damsels onto the backs of trusty steeds. Howard Blankenforth now occupies a place above even the great Einstein himself. Mr. Gilbert is working for him explaining that it is the nature of the thingn. Herbert Nickols is boss in a large logging camp. He spends most of his time in some glen writing poetry. Harold Johnson is known throughout the world as the second John Barrymore. Jesse Ellis now occupies a position in the public eye. He is very well known and his name is familiar in every family. He obtained all his publicity and fame by going into the streets and calling, Old clothes! Old clothes! Wesley Hopman, U. S. Ambassador to the Isle of Capri returned by way of New York to attend the homecoming. While in New York he not- iced LeRoy Yonally reposing behind a desk. A sign on the window read: Woolsey, Yonally, Wight, Wolney and Wight, Window Washers. In an adjoining building he found Leona Provost as secretary to the third vice- president of the Woulf Lumber Co. Billy Grimm, Edwin Johnson, Alex Stiglitz and Adolph Strachila now work tending the chickens and milking cows on the palatial estate of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McMurry. Mrs. McMurry is the former Ellen Todd. On a neighboring establishment Mrs. Herschel Bayes, nee Marion Coles, issues orders to a staff of well-trained helpers including Nadine Toler, Hazel Wahl, Fred Kinderman and Everett Glover.
