I|[||II!!IIIIIIIIHIIIIIII llllllllIillllllllllHI iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiuiii JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY “Do hurry and remove your wraps, Aileen. I am so glad you dropped in! I was so anxious to see you, first,—concerning your good fortune in receiving the appointment as head cartoonist of the Chicago Herald-Examiner. I am so glad to thinly we had such a brilliant classmate as you. And just think, Dear; I only now received a letter from our old schoolmate, Lavane Green. You know there was a class re-union last week and you and myself were the only absentees. Of course, I would have enjoyed going but it was entirely out of the question, for I had to keep my engagement with my Concert Company at Orchestra Hall.” “Yes, Elsie, I wanted to go myself, but just at that time I was working for my appointment on the paper, so of course I couldn't go, but do hurry and tell me what Lavane is doing.” “Oh, you know she always was so clever in Commercial Law when we were Juniors in High. Well, she went to the University and got her degree, and now is practicing in Prairie. She's had great success. I'll read you the part of the letter relating to our famous class of twenty-one.” ‘As you have not been home for so long, I must tell you about all of our old schoolmates. You remember Ada Tichenor and Dorothy Stearns, the two inseparable pals? Well, they are both teaching shorthand. Ada is in Platteville and Dorothy is in Richland Center. Of course, they aren't so terribly far apart, so they can go and visit each other often. ‘I know you have heard of Florence Craig's success in painting. She gave the High School a most remarkable painting of Fort Crawford. She was offered twelve thousand dollars for it, but she loved her old High School days so well that she presented it as a gift to the School, requesting that it be hung in the middle front of the Assembly Room. ‘Herbert Dahmer came all the way from New York to attend the banquet. You know one of the girls told me he owns about ten percent of the barber shops in New York. I knew that Herbert would make a name for himself. Clyde Lawler and his wife came on the same train to visit Mrs. Lawler's parents. You know Clyde is a very wealthy banker in Chicago. ‘I suppose you know Fred Silberschmidt has succeeded his father in business. They say he makes an excellent business man. He is also President of the Business Men's Club. I was really pleased to think that Clement Lindner received the appointment as Principal of the High School. He has made a heap of new improvements. For one thing he has installed Student Government. ‘Myrtle Koeche and Florence Plondke are both married and live at Bagley and are very happy. Gladys Poulda is Chief Operator of the Union Telephone Company in our town. Wasnt she the ambitious girl, though! ‘No doubt you hear from Hazel Stuart, but in case that you haven't I must tell you about her. She has recently graduated from a prominent Music Conservatory in Milwaukee and is now with the Frederick Stock Symphony. ‘Frances Hubbert recently purchased a large ranch in Montana and raises thousands of sheep yearly. Irma Turner is also in the West, I think in Denver, Colorado, where she is head stenographer in some large mining company. ‘Charlotte Cox played several harp selections and also sang for us at the banquet. She wore sky-blue pink with flowing sleeves and train twelve yards long. ‘You asked me in a letter whether I had heard anything recently concerning Russell Kieser. Well, he was at the banquet and I chatted with him for a few minutes. He has been in tennis and various out-door sports and is known as the champion athlete of the Middle West. He and his wife do not live in the fourth ward but they have a hnppv home in Minneapolis, I understand. ‘Carol Budworth teaches Domestic Science in High School and she is very much liked by all of the students. Charles Bily is our mayor and has made a new town of Prairie du Chien. His old chum, Lawrence Lechnir, owns a large department store here. ‘Everyone was so disappointed to think that you and Aileen were absent, but we do hope that you will be present at our next re-union.’ ” “Oh, dear, it is four thirty and I have a cartoon to get in the evening paper. Do run over and see me when you have time. Good-bye!” “Good-bye!” ELSIE STEINBERG, '21 P a o H S IIIIIIMIIIMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMPiW Page Twenty-three
