 7Ke ALPHA » iq«5 Senior Futures HELLO. HELLO is this 469-M Ambition Alley?” “No I’m sorry, this is 163 Realization Row,” replied the girl’s voice at the other end of the wire. ‘‘Wait a minute, don’t I recognize your voice? I have itnow, you’re Louise Andrews, of course. This is J-Vernon Jackson-maybe you don’t remember me. We graduated at the same time from the O, U. H. S. ” ‘‘Of course I remember you. Some of us, the ’23 gang were wondering the other day, where you were.” ‘‘Well if that’s the case, you really must accept a dinner invitation. I’ll have a chance to tell you about myself. We'll go to the newest, snappiest, most exclusive place in town. Ruth Weaver owns and manages it. She’s moreof a hostess than anything else tho’ . Please come.” ‘‘I’ll be glad to, and I’ll tell you about myself, too.” ‘‘No need to do that,” replied Vernon. ‘‘I haven’t picked up a magazine for the last five years that hasn’t had at least one story illustrated by you. And as to the rest your rise to success, ’n everything, the “Who’s Who” and “Interesting People,” columns have been publishing it all over the country.” “Oh! Well, I know about some others. ” “All right, then, see you later.” That evening, as they sat at the table, they tried to piece together the class of ’23 “Of course, you know about Bixler and Hexburg and Mooney and Carpenter discovering gold,” began Vernon. “Millionaires always get the publicity that I need. You see I’m doing impersonations and drawing down a nice little wad, but in this business one has to make hay while the sun shines.” “Oh, so that’s what you’ve been up to. Edna King is starring in a musical comedy, “The Raving Beauty,” and has all Broadway vamped. Bum Sanford is comedian in the same company. He has made high ‘toreador pants’ famous. Do you remember that speech day in Senior English that he had even Miss Bower laughing at him? Clifford Shepler’s his manager.” , “He is? I always thought they were inseparable. But what about Lucile Bass?’, “Oh, she’s in Chicago, leader of the society set. John Bell is a minister’s son-in-law, Merle Boring a cartoonist, and June Allen, Grace McKenzie, and Adeline McKinnie own a model shop, whose designs rival even those of Chalons.” “The class surely is a success,” said Vernon. “Irma Tejeda is a Prima Donna. She’s touring Europe, now, but last winter, when I was in Chicago, I saw her as Carmen. It was wonderful. But did you hear about Hazel Del McCloud? She was always going to be a missionary and finally fulfilled, her destiny at a cannibal bridal feast. Tim Bell founded a school for Dramatics and Public Speaking.” “Who else was in that class? Oh, I remember, George Wangelin. He's editor of the N ' York Times, and Pi.. ' ,.vui is giving dancing lessons in Honcut. Byron Stetler owns a type factory. . “And we mustn’t forget Stanislaus Albright and Shepard Hughes. Snark is a violinist and Shepard has entered a monastery to atone for the sin of Egotism. “Say, Audrey Jenks and Eddie Andrews have invented a No. 9 shoe guaranteed not to hurt a No. 10 foot. They are coining money by the barrel full, Melvin Simpson is a political boss. Have you heard anything about Joe McCarn?” “I should say I have. He’s the biggest corporation lawyer in the U. S., and last year, although it wasn’t quite in his line, for old times’ sake he wiggled me out of a breach of promise suit with Rachel Daniels.” “Vernon, I’m ashamad of you. In your high school days I’d never believed it of you, Did you know that Harold Edgeworth and Alita Darby are married?” It was on the way home that Vernon asked, “What about Mildred Duncan?” “Mildred,” said Louise with a laugh, “is now in Los Angeles producing more moving pictures than all of her competitors put together.” “Good night, ” Page Sixteen
