-- P R 0 P H E C Y 1 Senior Class Prophecy I graduated from Napoleon High many years ago but went back to give a lecture on the subject of Termites vs. Students . The faculty invited me to look over the records of the graduates of '4-l. You can't imagine my surprise when I looked at the names and records of those pupils. It was incredible! Nlost of them were famous people whom I knew when I still lived in Napoleon. The class, according to the records, certainly had scatted around: they were everywhere from New York to California. I decided right then, that I must see the members of this unusual class again. My lecture tour took me to New York. I saw some of the members of that most remarkable class. Early one morning as I looked through my ward- robe I saw the need of spending some time shopping. After all, clothes make the woman. I called up Ritter's Riding Taxi Company to order a taxi. I had just hung up the receiver when I heard a horn in front of the apartment. This was really service. Elden Ritter, a Napoleon alumnus, had the most efficient taxi service in the country. The seats resembled a davenport and there were buttons all around. I pushed one and a mirror appeared, Then there was a nickelodeon so that I could hear my favorite recording. The patent on thc machine was held by one of America's great inventors. Gale Snyder, another name on that class record. This machine was a free service sponsored by the taxi company. The song that I liked best was 'Keep A Stiff Upper Lip by .lack Yaney, who was the cornet player in Bob Gunn's orchestra. The soloist was none other than Skip Young, one of the greatest blues singers of our day. Bob Gunn and his Bullets had replaced Glenn Miller's orchestra in popularity. The orchestra was playing at the Hotel Rodero, which was owned by Russ Reimund the handsome playboy of New York and Newport. I made up my mind that I must go to this hotel some time. I finally arrived at an exclusive dress shop owned by Evelyn Bauman. The store had all the latest creations by Cozad: Evelyn Cozad was known through- out the country for designing. She was an inspiration to many young students who expected to follow dress designing as a career. While in the dress shop I ran into that famous photographer, Bill Barnett. and Jean Hoeffel, a reporter, who was getting a story for the paper Hotsy Totsy , which was edited by that prominent newspaperman, Edgar I-Iuener. They were getting a review of the styles that were to be popular next spring. Mary Kemm was a hat model for the shop. but before this time she had been modeling for Dig-it Shampoon Company. All the people whom I have just mentioned were in a huddle because it was the first time they had been together for ages. It reminded me of a family reunion. They were all laughing at a remark made by Mary, who still possess- ed that dry sense of humor. After a couple of hours at the dress shop, I thought I must have a new hair-do to go with with my smart new outfit. I walked up the street to thc noted beauty salon Mars which was jointly owned by Margene Benskin and Marjorie Durham. Marge specialized in hair styles, while Margene did thc manicures and facials. The girls did all their own work and used their own systems. I got the works! The facial was a special mixture of mud, lemon juice and witch hazel. The polish used for my manicure was a new shade called tickled-pink . I next needed a new pearl necklace to complete my outfit, so I went to Mildred Ratzlaff's and Hazel Harmon's jewelry shop. They had, I knew, the best pearls in the world secured by that famous pearl diver, Bob Weaks. Bob was showing me his new diving suit and did he ever look cute in it. His right hand man was L'il Herby Scarr, who was afraid of the water but liked to travel. Herbv wanted to join the navy but when he got sea sick, he decided he wasn't that I did not know about. The pilot was Jake Rausch. You could have knock- ed me over with a feather when I heard this because of all things I didn't ex- pect him to be a pilot but Marie told me that he didn't expect to be one him-
