4B SENIOR PROPHECY-Continued In the big building that they built on the bank of the river is Obie Norton's studio. He is now one of the greatest actors of the talkies, and he and his leading lady, De Etta Dishman, are to be married next week. The Reverend Sid Dunken will tie the knot. His typist, Virginia Buckley, recently won the world's speed test with 200W words a minute and Rosalie Autry was third with 2981 words a minute. 'iRuth Davidson, Mable Pritchett, and Bobby Short recently won the bathing beauty contest held at White Rock. Pat Fletcher's hot dog stand there does a thriving business and is chieiiy habitated by Carl Davis, Lorine Bourland, William White, and John Surrat. Kirby Blakeney had an amphibian plane there until Nena Louise Day passed by. He ran into a tree, as he couldn't look two ways at once. His sawbones, Jake Gold- stein, wanted to take his appendix out until he found that it had been re- moved ten years ago. Billy Allen, the Professor continued, who recently ran 90 yards for a safety, has been chosen All-American tackle twice. His Wife, Nelle Price, is very proud of him. Their nearest neighbors, Mary Lou Thomp- son and Frances Melton, have gained much fame by their life-sized port- raits of white elephants. Where is Bertha Russ ? I inquired of him. Bertha is now a famous hula dancer in Kenneth J ones' and Clyde Forshee's night club. Their chef is Joe Moifitt, who is a ha-sh expert. His chief assistants are T. L. Hall, Abelardo Rodriguez, and Benny Lawrence. Ralph Stovall, Rosa Schwarz, and Victor Correa give exhibition skating there each night, while Spresser Wynn conducts the orchestra for their performance. George Thornton plays the drums and hopes soon to be able to play the 'Anvil Chorus? He wants to become a blacksmith. The orches- tra also has: Jack Selby, flute player, Lucian Spann, cowbell player, Francis Wilson, Jews harp player, and J. D. Touchon, bird-imitating whistle player. Beatrice White sells cigarettes and candy there, and her best customer is Harold O'Neal. The Professor paused here, scratched his head, made more calcula- tions, and then proceeded again: Helen L'Roy ran for Mayor and received one vote-she voted for herself. The ticket was also made up of Charles Marsh, Dog Catcher--he was chased by two dogs and withdrew, Curtis Andrews, Water Commis- sioner-the voters thought he was all wetg Willard Johnson, Finance Com- missioner-he made the mistake of asking for a loan of five dollarsf' As the last name was checked off, the Professor sighed, and stretching himself said, Well, that's that.

Your Future Read. This was the Wording on the neat sign I saw tacked on the door of a house as I was Walking along the street. I secured an appointment with the Professor, and then asked him to give me the low-down on my former classmates. He glanced at the names, pawed among the mass of papers on his desk, made some calculations, and then began: ' Well, Eric Robert is now captain of the Texas Rangers, and is assisted by his aides, Jack Collins, Horace Hood, Winifred Relf, and Wil- liam Addington. Sol Herman is still collecting medals for his private collection and his representatives to the various parts of the World are Ruth Karnes to the Fiji Islands, Louise Clift to China, Lewis Fetzer to Fort Worth, and Nell Fleming to Siberia. 77 Well, I inquired, What has become of Jesse Frick? Oh, said the Professor, he is an English teacher at Dallas Tech. and is a Wonder at punctuating sentences, While his secretary, Eleanor Fatheree, has great hopes of his becoming principal. Then J. M. Lee, he continued, is captain on the steamer plying between Dallas and Fort Worth, on that beautiful river, the Trinity. By the Way, I asked, Who is responsible for that improvement in the river? Oh, Thomas Mason, Harold McFarland, Lester McKeg, and Clarence Pittman were the brains of the organization that did this great Work. I23l
