!T! eV)a ssa Yimp e r« CLASS PROPHECY 1IE most interesting society event in Prescott this month was a reunion of the class whicli graduated from Prescott High School in P 24. I he great reception took place in the palatial reception room of the Prescott High School. All the members of the class were present except Clair Scholey who had to stay at home to attend to the heavy burdens of his large household. It is remarkable that the Class of 24 has produced many of the most famous people of the time. The ( lass is proud of the fact that Johnnie Leo Parsons, once president of the Class, is now the first woman president of the United States. Other renowned members are Frank llee, the Chinese ambassador to the United States; Ned 't ount, the idol ol the screen, who is famous in the movie world for having been married only six times; Nettie Silver, the famous author of “The Sneak, and other classics; and Edwin Weil, the leader of tin Don’t Work political party who was the close rival of Parsons in the last election. It is very interesting to know what profession each member of the class has chosen. The ambitious Norman Fain, who was the idol of the girls in school, is a fancy rider in Dicky Darling’s Delightful Six Ring Circus, while strange to say, Fay Poe is a snake tamer in the same organization. Dora Rosenblatt has become one of the best revivalists of the time. She has done more, perhaps, than anyone else to abolish dancing, smoking, card playing and tosmetics, in Aiizona. lorn Date has made a name for himself in the movies, not as a dashing young hero, but as a second Theodore Roberts. Arthur Dumont made himself rich as a lady toe-dancer m the Follies, got married and is living happily with his family. Louise Oliver is one of Mac Sennett’s bathing beauties, while Alenc Van Dickson is the venerable matron of the Arizona Home for Blind Mice, which was founded by the great philanthro- pists, Elizabeth Ilollingshead and Learah Cooper. Although Evaline Fales perhaps did not choose such a noble career as her other classmates, she has made a success of her work. In the boxing world she is known as Knockout Nancy, and is the world-champion woman heavyweight. Alban Smith is a clothes model in E. Kay and Co.’s clothing store, and his picture may also he seen in any advertisement of Theobald's Trusty Tonic Treatment for Tough Toenails. Marion Ross and Herschel McMullen have been preaching to the heathen in Africa, and, according to their tales, they have had many narrow escapes from being cooked and eaten. Leslie Childers and Ruth Terry are Page Twenty-five
