SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was in the year 19 51, while I was sitting in my home at Ft. Steele, that i turned on my television instrument and saw again the members of the outstanding class of 1931. I first heard a voice which sounded familiar, and as the vision became clearer, I discovered that it was the recently elected president of the United States. Elwood Johnson, who was delivering his inaugural address. He mentioned in his speech the wonderful work of the Jusice of the Supreme Court, who I later learned was Cora Sheahan, although he disapproved of the flirtation between Cora and Albert HMsnmss.cn. who was Speaker of the House. As Elwood’s speech began to be uninteresting, I turned the dial to the Palm Leaf Night Club, in Honolulu. Richard Sheahan, the radio announcer, announced that Ruth Bruhns, the hostess of the club, would sing “Lovelorn Blues ’ after which Larry Brown would render a violin solo. At the conclusion of these numbers Richard announced Joel Hays, the head of the Hays Follies, which was. by now, more famous than the Ziegfleld Follies. Marlyiss Stauss, a famous dancer, was the leading dancer in the Hays Follies, and Margareti Sanden and Muriel Logan were also members of the Follies. Dorothy Huffer then led the orchestra in a snappy musical number. At this point the program was interrupted when the police force, led by Myles Gilbert, raided the night club. I then turned the dial to the Metropolitan Theatre in New York, where I tuned in on the play “A New Man,” starring Gwendolyn Doggett and Cale Riddle. Between acts Walter Cross, the world’s most famous tenor, sang several solos. Martha Groff, now “Miss America,” was also presented to the audience. When the play was over, I tuned in on station KOA and was surprised by many of the news items broadcasted by the'announcer, Iris McDermith. She first announced that the world’s heavyweight boxing title had just been won by Verna Hudley, after which she stated that Jimmy Banta had recently completed the first non-stop flight around the world. The next news item of interest to me concerned the building of the steel bridge across the Mississippi, which was und r the supervision of Laurence McNeil. Iris th°n announced that Martha Jones was now the world’s champion typist; and that Peter Trejo, the U. S. Ambassador to Scotland, had resigned his position, as the climate affected his growth. Iris then turned the microphone over to the president of the American Explosive Corporation, William McNees, who awarded a gold medal to Elmer Nelson for inventing the highest explosive known. I tuned in on another station just in time to hear Bernard Swanson, manager of the Ford plant, announce that a new model Ford had just been perfected by Mvrl Foster, and was to be demonstrated by Cleta Ferguson. As part of the Ford advertisement, a fashion show was held, and I saw among the mannequins, lone Dineen, becomingly dressed in a gown designed by Winifred Cameron. Just as I turned off the, radio, Rhoda Weller, a prominent artist, who was on her way to Oregon, dropped in for a visit. During our conversation I learned from her that Gilberta was happily married, but was so busy attending to affairs of society that she had hired Sylvia Dalfors to look after her children. Rhoda told me that she was planning to stop at Robert Riddick’s large cattle ranch in Arizona, to make a few sketches. While in Chicago, Rhoda stopped off to isee the famous Pixler-Peck circus, of which Laura Joe McAdams was the snake Charmer and Rosemary McDermott was the tight-rope walker. While there, Rhoda had also listened to the preliminary divorce proceedings of a former classmate of mine, Juanita Pope, who claimed that her husband had been flirting with Bertha Humphreys, a beauty shop owner. Before leaving, Rhoda told me that she had just , heard that the University of Wyoming had fired its two best professors, Katherine MacPherson and Curtis Sample, because they could not agree. When Rhoda had gone, I realized that I had heard of every member of the Class of '31.
