THE OAK 19 3 7 19 3 7 have thought we could have been such close friends of such a brilliant man? Marian: By the way Ruth whot are you do- ing now? Ruth: Oh, I'm still up to my old tricks— dodging matrimony—and being beseiged from all sides. Marian: I only wish someone would ask me just once. I have dreamed, longed, hoped, pleaded—given-up—oh, what a thrill it must be! Ruth: Oh come, come, Marian, don’t feel badly, why Dorothy Hall who was always so popular has just been jilted for the fifth time and is now opening a beauty parlor. She specializes in hair dressing for young men. Marian: Thanks,—Lloyd Henson has pros- pered marvelously. He’s teaching French in O. H. S., and everyone of his nine children speak French fluently. Ruth: Yes, I have heard about those won- derful French orators and say did you know that James McLarrin is introducing financial problems to Congress as speaker of the House? He has contributed development for the pros- perity of the United States. SAarian : I always did think he would go to the top. Henry Wilcox is at present living a happy life as manager of the City of Ookridge and suburbs. He has improved the city to such a degree that it has been classed as one of the three most beautiful cities of the world. Ruth: After talking over such strenuous affairs it certainly does make one feel tired and sleepy doesn’t it? Morion: I certainly does. And for me, I’m more than reody to retire. Goodnight. Ruth: Goodnight. SENIOR WILL I, Lena Mae Mattoon, do bequeath my abil- ity to be late four times a week to Frances Briscoe.

19 3 7 THE OAK 19 3 7 PROPHECY Place—Aboard the ship, Buddy”— a steamship belonging to Robert Sayre. Scene—A stateroom occupied by Ruth Smallwood and Marian Sorenson. Time—Twenty-five years hence. Marian: Here we all are once again, wasn’t it nice of Bud to invite the entire class of ’37 on a pleasure jaunt to Catalina Island on Mr. and Mrs. Sprague’s wedding anniversary? Remember at their wedding the groom wore ankle length trousers and a coat with wrist length sleeves? Ruth: Yes, yes, and since Bud has inherited the immense fortune of his wealthy step uncle he is the third richest man in the world. Marian: And just think he can well afford a ship like this with a fine swimming pool, and dancing on deck os we did tonight. What a change twenty-five years can make. Bud told me that the dance programs were de- signed by Raymond Bates. Raymond edits the Honolulu Intelligencer . He went to Hono- lulu in hopes of getting acquainted with a few of the hula dancers. Ruth: Speaking again of the dance to- night, wasn’t Dorman Ellis’ singing simply heavenly? You knew, I suppose, that he is being sued by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee for stealing their popularity as crooners. Marion: Oh, that reminds me, Willis Rob- inson is being sued by Onata Greer for breach of promise, and should be in jail this very minute, but James Walker, warden at Sing Sing, paroled him for this occasion. Ruth: And he was such a nice boy . . . tsk, tsk. I was glad to see that Anna Bee Fisher was able to come. She and Lloyd Stan- ley have had their marriage license for twen- ty-five years and have had it renewed every year as they always expect to be married in June, but Lloyd postponed it until he adds one more dollar to his bank account. Marian: And Omar Kelsay running a cor- respondence school on How Amateurs Can Learn to Make Love at a Distance in Ten Lessons ! He is assisted at times by Donna Woodruff, but not often, as she devotes most of her time to her home ond family. Ruth: My, my, he should be good at that. Anyway he got lots of practice while in Eng- lish class. Lena Mae was telling me awhile ago that she is teaching the Chinese women modern methods of cooking. She got her in- structions from Miss Wetterstroms' Home Economics class. Marian: And to think I was a member of that very class. Did you know Gront Carpen- ter, formerly the tall thin man of the Sells F.oto C reus, has started an elephant farm in Lowell, Oregon? Business is big and ele- phants are reported going fast. Ruth: Yes, I heard about his wonderful success and say—believe it or not . . . Oak- ridge hos a real hermit living on the summit of Diamond Peak. Earl Clark has withdrawn from all society. Too bad because he would have made an ideal husband for some girl. Think of his turning out to be an old man of the mountain”. Marian: It’s almost beyond my power to think of such a catastrophy. My, how I do wish Philip Dimick and June Allen could have been here. But then the two of them will be together since June is entertaining Philip, the President of the United States, at dinner this evening at her home in Hyde Park. He said that the foundation of h.s career was laid while he was president of our class. Why just last week I read in the Times where he is the most popular president since the one preceding him. There is som? talk of doing away with the present form of government and crowning him the first King of the Unit- ed States. Ruth: Goodness grocious! Who would ever 6

Inter-class basketball games were played with the Fresh- man losing the majority of them. A Freshman Quartet was formed of four freshman boys. Jack Robinson, Calvin Rog- ers, Ned Le Gualt, and Ralph Lyon. June Miller was the only Freshman to earn a letter in athletics. 8
