THE POSTER-1938 25 witness to the execution thereof, which I hereby do in the presence of the testator on the said date. CSignedD Patricia E. Cragg Attorney-at-Law Senior Class Prophesy Good evening, friends! This is your toastmaster, XValter Winchell, speaking. This evening the class of 1938 is holding its fifteenth reunion. This is just a glimpse of the many celebrities who are present! Flash! You of the class of '38 remember how you went around singing, humming, or whistling 'fl NVant to Be in VVinchell's Columnv? You do? Well, at last you have all reached that goal. Flash! Catherine Barrett, the Ulittlest big girl in the class, is now Dean Barrett of Vassar, college for girls, and she can hardly wear l1er English hat for sheer pride. Flash! Bill Bess, following up his high school days as a star athlete, is now the captain of the successful Rugby team, which returned from England victor over the team from Oxford, the school which so badly defeated the American universities back in 1938, F.ash! Frances Mary Brooks, our youngest member, has quite electri- fied the world by her stunning style creations-all you girls, here's your chance. Flash! Edith Chase has gone into partnership with a fruit stand at- tendant, and I don't mean she helps him manage the fruit! Flash! Mary Chatfield, keeping up the good work started in high school, was just recently declared the best dressed woman in the world. Flash! Robert Congdon and his saxophone have gone far in the world of 'LS-wing . Ile is conductor of the orchestra at t'Air Castle , the night club in the skies. Flash! Edith Cook has skyrocketed to stardom in the movie kingdom. Flash! Jesse Cornell is now managing The llraves, champion professional football team of Painted Post. Flash! Inez Ross has spent her life since high school teaching people the blessing of punctuality. I wonder where she learned it in such a hurry. Flash! Patricia Cragg recently received her doctor's degree as Doctor of Medicine. NVe hear that she is already working on what is thought to be a sure cure for cancer. Flash! Beverly Cunningham - the stately and dignitied Beverly - was recently awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her short story, t'Sands along the lllississippin. Remember those 90's in English, Beverly? Flash! Lillian Dann, who broke the hearts of a good many of the callow youths, recently published a statement that she had settled down to the life of a spinster. How long will it last, Lillian? Flash! Benson Dann, the class woman-hater, who has spent all his time in his workshop, perfected television not more than a year ago, and can manufacture the sets at such a low price that even the inhabitants of Shanty Town can afford one.
