Class Prophecy As the curtain falls on our high school life, our thoughts turn to the future. Because of this, the senior class, in a body visited Madame Ba- doura, a famous crystal gazer, who, in an aurora of oriental mysticism, made the following p1'op- hecies: I, Madame Badoura, see several figures tak- ing' form in the clouded future. Behold! I see Bobby Addenbrooke seated before a revolving table at the Waldorf-Astoria, an expert judge of the culinary arts, while in the Blue Room, Mar- jorie fMalbonl and her Magic Violin enthralls her audience with the delicate air of some Neo- politan love song. Over in the corner, su1'rounded by beautiful ladies,' sits Jerry Jarvis whose cyni- cal smile and witty conversation attract all the beauties of Fifth Avenue as well as Broadway. And, who are those two alone over there in the C0l'IlQ1', sipping their wine and dreaming of some far away land, but Bobby Roberts and Virginia Naille, now literary critics on the New York Times. How soon the scene changes! Now I see the interior of Carnegie Hall, thronged with world celebrities: Irving Brothers and Ralph Midgett, famed horse breeders: Allen Tyler, producer of Tyler Tease, this year's Broadway hit: Mil- dred Sanderlin well-known commercial artistg Gilbert Lawrence, widely publicized best dressed man: Nell VVebb, whose elopement with Prince Ali-Ben-Barrel-Head rivals the abdication of King' Edward, VIII ten years ago. This glitter- ing audience has assembled to hear Miss Betty Flynn perform Padrewski's Minuet in G. Above the music, we hear Genevieve McClannan making slurring remarks to her tophatted escort, while Senator Herman R. Harris feasts his eyes upon the delicate loveliness of Mrs. I'I2il'l'lS fthe for- mer Helen Itodgersl. Again the ligures fade and go their way, while others come to take the fore. We see Jack Mal- hon, chauffeur for the oil magnate, George VVads- worth, busily talking to Durwood Phelps, expe1't mechanic. Strolling along and talking loud enough to be easily understood, we hear Stevie Gresham, dietician for Blair Expeditions, Inc., discussing' with Explorer Blair plans for the sec- ond expedition to the Albategnius crater on the moon. VVait! The ball is clouded! As the misty veil lifts, we are gazing on the sunny shores of California. Underneath a coat of tan ffrom a jar! we make out the massive physique and hand- some features of our Bobby Austin, dutifully watchillil' the bathing beauties, and getting paid Tu for it, because he is captain of the Lifeguard. Clustered about him are such shapely mermaids as Jappy Johnson, Betty Dodson, Isabel Tole1', Eileen Boush, and Freida Dekker. Near by the thriving metropolis of Hollywood lies shimmering in the glaring sun. On lot 13 of M. G. M.'s studios Charles Rogers, famous character actor during a short rest is discussing plans for his newest picture with Di1'ector T. K. Helvin. We leave the studios to board a transcontinental plane at the Los Angeles Airport. As we enter the plane, we are greeted by the familiar, cheer- ful countenance of Betty Sue Scott, Chief Stew- ardess, who informs us that another old school- mate, Sara Woodhouse, one of the first women to hold such a position, is at the cont1'ols. Imme- diately after the take-off, Miss Scott supplies us with newspapers. We are confronted with these headlines: Premier Postponed-M. E. Cole, blues singing star, develops a sudden case of laryngitis. Caffee Sets New Record for Indoor Mile. Glancing through the paper we make the fol- lowing notations: The California schools have adopted the new- est edition of Croonenbergh's Civics Book for Senior High Schools. Bernard Smith has received an award from the United States Government in recognition of his development of a superior type of corn. Nell Grimes has just won the Easte1'n Olympic Tryouts. Eleanor VVoodhouse has been appointed Secre- tary of Interior. Early next morning, our plane ar1'ives at the Miami, Florida Ai1'port. A taxi driven by Sonny Booker takes us to a leading hotel. Much to our Clark, surprise, we meet our old friend, Lucile who is the manager. Also staying at the hotel, we a1'e delighted to find Marion Brothers on an- other lecture tou1'. Befo1'e leaving the 1'QS0l't city, we get religion and attend the evangelistic services of Rev. P. E, Rodgerson, D. D., nation- ally known as Billy Sunday, II. On the remain- der of our trip, we a1'e welcomed into the happy households of Marie Scott, Katherine Flanagan, Kaleoppe Ketsules, Bradie Lee, and Sheri-on Crockett. lYhen we had seen the futures of all our fel- low seniors, we thanked Madame Badou1'a kindly and left, feeling that we knew no more than on ou1' entrance. Amen. 'elm'
