This class has meant a great deal to us this year, and we now leave it to you, to look forward to.

YES, THIS IS THE CLASS PROPHECY A yachting party! It was just the idea to get the old class of Nineteen-Twenty- five together for a big reunion. For a mighty good reason it was finall y decided that we all go in Lynn Williams ' boat. Invitations having been duly issued, North Shore ' s famous class gathered to celebrate its silver anniversary. Some of the girls wanted to bring their husbands along, but Frank Fowle and Groty objected so strenuously that it was decided to leave them at home, that is, the husbands. To the surprise of everyone, Lynn started the motor, and we were soon oozing along. Lynn, as it happens, was head designer for the Abie Mitchill Two-Pants Suit Co. The old problem of Pants is pants, and vest is vest, and never the twain shall meet had been promptly solved by Lynn. His happy idea of buttoning one ' s vest to the pants had put Abie ' s concern on a paying basis. My, what a shock to see all the old familiar faces, and to find out about each other! It was a great disappointment to the party when it was announced that the one- time curly-haired darling of the class, Arsie Boals, could not be present. Arsie was so embarrassed over his new suit, that he said he just couldn ' t come. The suit, by the way, was a two piece affair with hat to match; black and white stripes running from top to bottom. Our old friend Groty was there and still remained the flaming youth despite the fact that his chest had slipped considerably. Groty was president, secretary and members of the Sleep and Rest Club . Naturally, the club was a great success. Elizabeth Lamson, the famous barber for children, was also present. Elizabeth had gotten her start at the old school where she al- ways received an oration of joy from mothers whose children had submitted to her scissors. While everybody was talking at once, the engine suddenly began to slow down. We all shivered in terror. It eventually turned out that Frank Fowle had playfully turned off the gas, and we all laughed heartily at this funny joke, and Lynn who was quite a mechanic, fixed the trouble. Frank was head salesman for the T-Zem Rat and Bug Catchers , guaranteed to work equally well on husband or wife. Johnny had at last graduated from college, and had lived up to his reputation by running a bachelors ' club. He had been in partnership with Arsie until the latter had gotten his new suit. Crilly Butler, after a great deal of deliberation, had organized the Butler Correspondence School . In all the big cities one could see the Butler slogan flashed by large electric light signs: Nuts on Harvard, nuts on Yale, Butler educates through the mail. Speaking of electric lights, it was somewhat of a pleasant shock to find that the Dolly twin sisters were none other than Mary Miller and Frederika Walling. Their show, Naughty, Naughty, Brother Will Shoot you , was getting across big. Another member of the class who had entered dramatics, was Barbara Groves. She had received a great deal of credit for her interpretation of the slave girl in Desert Love . Doris Blake, who for many years, had answered letters to love sick cor- respondents, had at last died from overwork; (it was also said that someone shot her because her advice didn ' t work). The world ' s greatest newspaper immediately accepted Helen Shimmin as the logical candidate for this position because she had all the necessary qualifications: experience and good ideas on how to snag the poor bewildered Romeos. I asked Fuller Dean who the bearded person was, seated across from us. I might stop here to say that Fuller Dean was Chicago ' s wealthiest citizen. Fuller said that he had first started on the road to fortune and success by charging people to gaze on the lions outside the Art Institute, selling them the Wrigley Building. Here is an excellent example to the rising generation of what can be done by ap-
