Pafie twenty-nine TAI.AHI CLASS PROPHECY 9 CI n li 11 li r first all was in darkness ; grad- ually it began to grow lighter. I ' rcsently I discerned a sign board in front of me. I noticed that it was advertising the feature on the 5fe I ' antages circuit. It was a picture II of Carmen Eggerth and her band of sprites consisting of Ruth iliirlxhardt, Lydia Borgardts, Signe Peterson, Rhea ithers, Irene Edburg and Elsie Zeige. They were tripping the light fantastic. i s I went on I saw Janice McAvoy. Evi- dently she had not forgotten how to write nor lost her oratorical ability. With the latter of these two factors she was persuading the matron of the Home for Indigent Bugs to admit Earl Broyles, I,eRoy Riddle, Jimmie Warren and Cyril Fletcher. You know they always were a bashful lot, afraid to speak for themselves. On the ne.xt corner I saw Easter Court- right, I ' Vancis Edlund and Elizabeth Green, talking over the good ol ' days. In the Little Red School House seemed to be the pre- vailing subject. Don Smith, Glenn Taylor and I ' rank Jen- kins seemed to have become beneficent, for I noticed an institute founded hy them. It was a Home Finding society for dogs, cats and mice. Oh the celestial music ! Dot Kippen and ' oeta Johns, members of the famous jaz. ' orchestra, were filling the air with that which made the people leave. Among those leaving were Harry Roning, Don Thom])son, Paul Schnebly and Herbert Strand. They seemed to be quite overcome by the sweet melodious tones. Then I met Mae Tuttle. She told me that Ross Osborn and Wesley Jonas had made a success in running a girls ' lioarding school in Chene . She al.so told me that . rthur Ford, Clifford Johnson and Charles Ik-ntley had be- come millionaires running an undertaking es- tablishment in Colfax. Presently I began to fly through the air. When I was put down on earth again I was sure that I had never been in any place that was so beautiful. I saw Esther Ilarvie coming towards me. She said that she Christena Hal)- ura, Irene McElroy and Mary Mickels had set up an ideal colony. They had spared no mone ' in trying to make it the most artistic and gorgeous inhabitation on earth. A voice whispered in my ear that they had gained their money by selling fake mining stock t(j Mr. Ramsey. , s I v ent on my way Jack Grover passed me. He stopped to tell me all the gossip that he knew. He said that Ed Adams had got a rather bad reputation by running a bootlegging establishment. He also said that Thelma Par- menter, I ouise Luecken, Hazel DeCamp and Hazel Sorenson, after their husbands left them, had turned to scrubbing as an occupa- tion. A little bit after Jack left me, Allen Sherer overtcjok me. As he walked along he told me some more news about the members of our class. He said that Vivian Olson and Mabel Seeley were manicuri. ' ts down in Bishop ' s Barber shop. When he remarked that Charles Brown, Herbert Buttke, Earl Johnson and Norman Carver were running a matrimonial bureau, I recalled that they always did have a tendencN for match making, even in high school. The ne.xt peo])le I met were Winifred I aly, Phyllis Schalkle and Doroth - Eaw.son. They were .so sunburned that I hardly recognized them. They were just back from Africa where they had been converting the heathen. They had succeeded so well that they (the heathens) had set up a republic with Wini- fred Ealy as president. . s I passed a large assemblv hall I saw Evelyn Hellem with her aides, Bernice Barton, Helen Gehrke and Bernice I ' almer. Evelyn, who had become a suffragette, was giving a lecture there to an empty hall. lilancing over a magazine I happened to have picked up, I saw that Robert LeMar ' s name would go down to the ages, for it was he who discovered that the stars were in the sky. His assistants, Beulah Florida and Grace Kramer bettered the world by inventing a shock-absDrber for restaurant soup-eaters. I arrived at Dartford soon and found that our old friend Homer Manley had not for- gotten his managing al)ilities, for he had started an enterprising business section there where a good number of my old classmates were living.
