J 'if'-EU 'XX iw, ffif ak . . l in lE fir is .1 .H 7 CLASS PROPHECY ,gif PAGE from the diary of one of the world's greatest travelers. June 15, 1948 Today I am commemorating the twentieth anniversary of my graduation from High School. How times have changed! I resolved five years ago to visit every one of my classmates and today finds me at the end of this pleasant task which I set before me. I really believe that there is no other class that has ever graduated from my dear old Alma Mater, which has produced so many geniuses as the class of '28. While I was visiting New York, the whole city was proclaiming Norman Ingalls the foremost physician of America, but with it all he was just as modest as ever, though his wife, the former Dorothy Watkins, surrounded by the luxuries of a lovely home on the Hudson, gloried in his fame. I am not at all surprised at Norman's success. Let me think-he was President of our class in '27 and '28, and of the Student Council in '27. Another one of whom we are justly proud is Arthur Hersberger. He has obtained the same place in the chemical world that Norman has in the field of Medicine. I just read in the newspaper that he has been recently awarded the prize for his marvelous discoveries in chemistry. It is not only in the scientific field but also in that of religion that my class has become famous. Two of the greatest missionaries of modern times were members of my class, Helen Wilkinson and Mabel Davis. I visited Helen a few years ago in Japan and was astounded at the work she had done. She told me of Mabel and her work in Korea so I visited her and went with her on some of the trips to her various hospital appointments. As I traveled from country to country I found many of the members of that immortal class of '28 employed as secretaries to the American Ambassadors of various countries. Esther Miller was the private Secretary of the American Ambassador to England: Mary Somervell and Aylene Coupard also held posi- tions of like manner in Spain and France. On arriving in Paris I was impatient to see the field on which Lindy landed back in '27 and no sooner had I arrived in sight of the famous old field than I saw a vast mob and to my surprise I found that the center of attraction was three of my old classmates, Sally Shipe, Etta Moxley, and Archie Lake who werenbeing covered with palms of Victory for their stupendous feat of crossing the Atlantic ocean in five hours. While yet in France visiting my schoolmates, I found that Virginia Porter and Marguerite Gingell afforded a great deal of pleasure for smart Parisian admirers of clever dancing.
