CLASS PROPHECY I nIIeHo! Iiovv are you, dear? I've just arrived frorn rny motor trip to the 1939 World's Fair in New York. And have I found out things! Yes, about our old friends away back in 1936 at Tech High. I'm just dying to tell you about the mar- riage of W. B. Dempsey. And really you won't believe it. Vir- ginia Boren is the wife of a traveling salesman. Poor kid! You remember Dorothy Bailey? She was voted the most pop- ular co-ed in Dlorthvvestern Ilniversity for 1939. Jessie Ruth Hare is a nurse in one of New York's hospitals. And is she crazy about her patients, Mike Burch and Jack Broom, who are recovering from bruises received when John Robinson took the Fifth Avenue and 64th Street corner fifty miles an hour! Jack Cox is delivery boy for Thomas Coyne's flower shop at 34th and Broadway. The Follies have captured the personalities of Doris Eddy, Virginia Lee Tenney, Hannah Sobel, Margaret Henderson, Viola Puckett, and Anna Frances Kos. James Shurett and Edna Earle Stovall are ably directing the Follies Standing at the corner of 76th and Broadway the stately figure of Sam Murphy is seen directing traffic. After visiting the famous gown shop of Edmona Helmke and Norma Long, I hailed a taxicab. Lo and behold! Mack Philbrick was my driver. The latest from him was that Anna Frances Metcalf was now keeping house for Andrew Smith atop the Empire State Building. Andrew is the cheapest law- yer in the city. That's the reason Casper Ramey, George Han- lon, and James Ford hired him to clear them for invading their income tax. After eating a most delicious meal in Earl Barrett's deli- catessan, prepared by the excellent chef, Harold Goodman, I strolled toward the subway. On the way I nearly ran over Elinor Falder, the self-made stylist. She said that George Ewing was now coach at Stanford University, and was quite comfortable with Alice Ellis as his sparring partner. Jack Jones and Melba Robbins are now Mr. and Mrs. They seem to be giving Mrs. Dionne some competition. Charles Spencer, Sam Wortham, Don White, and Garvin Tulley are dancers for the Hot Dog Nite Club. Lois Louviere has it on them-she is a fan dancer. Gazing overhead I realized that the tiny figures on the skyscraper washing windows were none other than the famous foursome, Clifford Hodge, A. C. Hall, James Warren, and Sydnie Smith. When I attempted to run through a red light I met my old friend, Dorothy Preston. She is now a clerk in the Pressure Salesman Co., owned and founded by Horace Haygood and Charles Paschall. She was going to see the latest picture, Cut Up, starring John Roesch and Mary Louise Starleigh. I went E261

OUR FIRST GRADE PRIMER-Continued LESSON TWO See the bum? ' Yes. p Why is he a bum? Because he bums things from other people. I don't do that. Why should he? It is beyond your understanding. But I really want to know. Well, you remember the Senior in Lesson One? Yes, he was going to rule the world. He finally got a job counting people seeking relief. Why do people need relief? Because they lost all their money in the last Hood. I get it-flood-relief. No, more relief and fewer floods. What does he do now that he got promoted to a bum? He just travels and travels. Where does he go? In the direction of the crowd. What will he see when he gets there? The filthy streets of another burg. But why does he like to visit smelly places? Because the artist so truthfully pictured him as starting at the bottom and rising to the top. But he didn't rise to the top. Exceptions to every rule--Class dismissed. MODERN MODE A hundred years ago today With wilderness here, With powder in his gun, the man Went hunting for the deer. But now the sport is somewhat changed, And on the ultra-modern plan, With powder on her cheeks, the dear Goes out to get her man. l25l

with her just to learn things. Approaching the ticket office we met Pauline Suda, Rae Veal, Johnnie Roffino, and Elizabeth Logan leaving. The newest was the promise between Sam Stavinsky and Esther Cobler. Inside the box-office was none other than Olivia Goldsberry. Paul Cunningham was ticket- taker lgetting S12 a weekl, and Marvin Amlong and Charles Boyd are ushers. After the show we bought a bag of popcorn from Wilburn Fowler. He's making a living that way. Flo- rence Bender has achieved popularity by her newsy novel, Under the Hide. Her sister Margaret is a teacher at Chi- cago Tech. A large crowd had gathered around a small store. Looking in, I saw Homer Brown and Leo Evitts staging a charity box- ing match. James Chenoweth was trying to referee the match. Walter Berkowitz was selling balloons to such personalities as Edith Carlock, Margaret Bichell, Bob Carstens, Myrna Stewart. Looking across the street, I gazed upon a large sign: Night Club. J. L. Phillips and his cowboy band were featured. George Settles, Vladimir Frederick, J. B. Daniels, Jimmie Trexler, and Bill Fluke are making the music go 'round, while Leon Magid does his own interpretation of the fan dance. John Machac is the booking manager. Celeste Craft isn't worried about the feminine part of the show, Dorothy Bany, Evelyn Taylor, and Deanie Sagraman. Shifting around were Jolly Ruth Samuel and Harry Rea, Dorothy Wondell and Jack Ter- min, Anne Gwartney and Richard Aubrey. At the Exposition grounds was I amazed! H. C. Burditt is content with his job counting visitors as they enter. Daniel Brown and Owen Gray were selling soda pop. Joe Donnell, James Harman, Schuyler Lindsey, and Jack Jaynes were fur- nishing the power for rickasaws. Inside the art gallery I saw a figure scuptured by Frances Greenfield. Jack Lindley just gazed and gazed at it. Famous paintings by Harold Quiram and Andrew Furr were admired by visitors. The famous cartoonist, Kenneth Petersen, has caricatures of Lorraine Thomason, the widely read columnist, Nathan Tobolowsky, the Senator from Texas, and Isabel Vance, the bathing-suit model, presented for the public. Mar- garet McAdams, Alice McCord, and Beulah Morgan are busy keeping a day nursery in the grounds. Elmer Lynn, Roy Treese seem to enjoy sleeping on the green grass. But Ruth Young is making a living with grass skirts. I flew home in a plane piloted by Harold Heyman. Virginia Griner was the stewardess. On the same plane were Margie Hansen, Wallace Allen, Oscar Blasingame, Lila Bele Green, Dorothy Torrens, Bob Whitehead, and James Reichert. Henry Parma is now vice-president of the airlines. Well, I must be going. I'll call you later and really spill the beans to you. Good bye. E271
