CLASS PROPHECY Scene: Hotel Lobby in New Orleans. Lucille Meyer goes to desk to ask for mail. Lucille: (Aloud) “0 a letter from Reedsburg. Clerk: “Reedsburg! did you say?- Why, Lucille!” Lucille: “Feme Johnson. What are you doing here?” Feme: “I ran away from home about 12 years ago. This is the only job I could land. Hut do read that letter. Fm dying to bear about Keedsburg.” Lucille opens letter and reads. Dear Lucille: Little did I think that night of graduation that in 15 years we would have drifted to so many parts of the world. I saw your name and picture in the paper yesterday. It must be grand to be a great pianist. 1 must tell you all about your classmates. Harvey Foss and A1 Farber journeyed down into the Jungles of Africa. Harvey discovered a colony of dwarfs and is ruling over them, and A1 is now shooting elephants instead of wild ducks. But now sit up and take notice. Eleanor Sparks has become a famous toe dancer. She has laid aside all conventionality and is shocking the East with her daring costumes. Surely you have not forgotten our Ku Klux Rider Hubert Jax. He now is Senator for Wisconsin anti is putting forth much effort to have a bill passed for the prohibition of driving delivery cars over five miles an hour. Lucille: (Lays down lettert “Isn’t that funny? Remember how he used to drive that Laundry Hus and the time of the Hospital Fire? Mary Donahue's curls surely have made her fortune. She is traveling with the “Knockem” Stock Co. taking children's parts. They hit such cities as Loganville. Cazenovia and Lyndon. Do you remember Winifred Stadleman? She is running a boarding house. All the rich obi men in town board there. It's a high class place. Feme: “Well that play, “The Private Secretary,” surely did give her practice with cranky old men.” Of course, you never could forget Evangeline Fisher. She has opened a dancing school. “Only fat people allowed. I wonder why? That is bad enough but what do you think of this- Paul Schultz still loves the girls. He has a harem in Hub City. He now has 52 wives. Marjorie and Chuck Carroll have organized a band and they play in Zion City every Sunday. And now to our Physics shark. Kenneth Maxham has invented a new collar. They call it “The Perfect Fit. He has acquired a fortune through this. Myrtle Swetland has broken all typing records, writing 201.34 words per minute and so winning the World's Championship. Don’t you remember when we were Juniors, she received a medal for the best paper submitted in an O. A. T. Test. Dorothy Stolte, our Gleaner Business Manager, is still at the selling business. She is now selling “Bvrns' Foot Ease. Our woman hater, Harry Meyer, is risking his life in Siberia as a missionary. Feme: “Of all things. Harry Meyer a missionary.” We surely heard enough orations in the U. S. History class. Well, Merle Mack is now campaigning for governor for Iowa. Lorena. his sister, has become a famous skier in Switzerland. Irene Ruskauff is coaching the “Kant Beat” basketball team at Jerusalem. Lucille: “0. yes. she's that wonderful basketball player. She must be good to be known clear over there. We surely did have some talented people in our class and Leslie Shierholtz was one of them. He drew a cartoon featuring the President and now he is in jail. It must have been dreadful for Mr. Bowker always liked him so well in high school. Feme: “Isn't it wonderful to think that our President was once our teacher. Our star basketball player in '23 has written a book. “Control Your Temper. Lucille: “0, surely, that's Everett Murphy. I have heard about it. Fred Haugh won the light-weight championship last year. Wasn't he always quiet? He still believes in the old saving “Silence is Golden. I guess. Will we ever forget the football season in 1922? We surely had a wonderful bunch of sports. Now instead of coaching the football teams at Yale or Harvard, Merle Warren is running a bakery in partnership with Dixon. They hire Ed. Roever to write poetry advertising their goods Kd surely is a good poet. No social gathering is complete without him And would vou think it. Miriam Hahn is an old maid housekeeper for a man. whose wife died leaving eight children, and who lives on a farm near Hillpoint. 1 can't remember his name but he was a sophomore when we were Seniors and lie's Irish. Lucille: “That must be Harold Murphy.” Hazel Suszyski and Irma Fritcher, you know what pals they were, are trying to introduce woman suffrage in Liberia and Nigeria. While our shorty, Clara Zimmerman, has become a great essayist. Some of her best known essays are “Advantages of Being Short.” “Length, “Height. and “Typewriting.” Page Twenty-Seven
