THE HASSAYAMPER Class Prophecy This is station P. H. S., Prescott, Arizona, the radio central super-station of Prescott High School student body, owned and operated by Williard Robinette, broadcasting the fifteenth re- union program of the Class of ’29. You have just listened to a vaudeville number by Miss Betty F'erguson and Mr. Joseph Davis, performers at the Lodge Colo- sium in Phoenix. Both of these people were members of the Class of ’29, and wish to extend to those of their classmates who may be listening in, their heartiest greetings and those of their manager, Mr. Edmund Lodge, owner of the Phoenix Colosium, said to be one of the best equipped opera houses in the United States. Some of us will recall Mr. Lodge’s memorable work in managing the setting of “The Admirable Crichton,” presented here 15 years ago, and will note that his rapid rise in theatre work dates from that performance. The next number on the reunion program will be a talk by “Tino” Lopez, sport editor of the Evening Snooze. Paul Thomas and Miss Betty Hirshfeld, owners of the paper, have instructed “Tino” to say hello for them, and not to broadcast any news that would ruin tomorrow’s scoop about Jack—there, I didn’t mean to let the cat out of the bag, but now I may as well tell you that Jack Hume has at last perfected and tested his new auto-plane, the flying automobile that can climb a 90 per cent grade or leave the ground altogether. Just a minute, folks, here’s a telegram from Hollywood— “Program coming in fine. Used music just now for scene from “One Mile Nearer Heaven” now filming, Mary Born.” By the way folks, “One Mile Nearer Heaven” is Fen Hildreth’s latest best seller, you know, and the author announces its dedication to the class of ’29. The story was inspired by “King” Cromwell of Wall Street, better known to his old classmates as Bob—no need to identify him, though, as everybody remembers our class president. We’re sorry he couldn’t be with us in person tonight, but he telephones that his plane is in the hangar for repairs so he will join us on the air from New York later in the evening. Here is a special delivery radiogram from Paris, and a stack of letters from all parts of the country. Let’s have the radio- gram first—“Greetings from the Art College. Just mailed my prize painting with compliments to P. H. S. Margarete Lee.” “Thanks, Margarete!” Listen to this from Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe McGrew, Los An- geles, California. “Say hello to the gang and tell the boys to Page Twenty-five

THE HASSAYAMPER send their measurements to the McGrew Haberdashery for the latest in men’s furnishings.” Here’s one from New York, a fat envelope containing a book- let advertising the fashion salon of Mile. Jenkins, designer of Elete frocks. The next letter is postmarked Florence, Arizona. Hm! Who could that be? Here’s the message: “If we had the wings of angels, over these prison walls we would fly; we’d fly to the Mousetrap in Prescott, and there we’d be willing to die. J. Franks, Imperial Rat; R. Crable, Trap Detective; Newton Ferg- uson, Limberger Cheese; J. Lyke, Official Squeak. Oh, yes, I forgot tc tell you that our old friends the Mousebounders are doing a little time for chloroforming cats. Nothing serious, folks. Telegrams are coming in fast. Listen to this one—“Best wishes from Arabia. His mightiness, Ainsworth, dictator of Arabia.” Well, here’s one from Senator Morgan. She sends greetings from herself and her secretary, Mary Marchello. They would like to be with us but are busy with a filibuster on the Philippine question. Before resuming the speeches we shall flash a picture pro- gram on your screen. The first reel is entitled “Before and After,” starring Mile. Murray Eads, demonstrating the new one- night. reducing process patented by George Paul, heavyweight guard of ’29. Yes, my friends, the picture you are now seeing is featuring Mildred McCarty and Daniel Bork as celebrated trapeze per- formers. These two athletes are known the world over for their physical prowess. Our last number- on the picture program should be of great interest to all you folks who are seeing and listening in. It will be a radiophoto talkie starring the famous dancing trio, Dee Forest King, Hazel Clark and Leslie Crose, and the Slousy Song- sters” David Loewy and Kathryn Orthel. These two singers lay their success to “Yeoman’s Coughdrops.” But if the noise gets too great, folks, just tune down a bit. This concludes our picture program and in behalf of my former classmates I wish to thank Warren Douglas, who has made it possible to present these pictures over the radio station P. H. S. Hold on, folks, the messages are coming in fast now. It seems that none of our classmates have forgotten us after all. Well, here’s a wire from Dewey, Arizona. “Olympic games in Page Twenty-six
