Class Prophecy XH afternoon after I had doffed my judicial robes and was quaffing a mint- julep on inv spacious piazza, I looked down the driveway and saw a forlorn figure approaching. I could hardly believe this was the year 1950, for this sight brought back the days of the old 1932 depression. As the person drew nearer, however. I was carried back even more to those dear old 1932 days, for upon close observance. I perceived this individual to lie none other than my old classmate, Joe Fisher. As I had not seen Rockville since my graduation days and had heard little or nothing of the destinies of my classmates, I cordially welcomed Fisher and after he had quenched his thirst and we had exchanged courtesies I began “pump- Although Joe’s hair had commenced to grey slightly, his old humor was still with him and In immediately began enlightening me about my former classmates. Velma Barr, lie stated, was now the proprietor of the largest and best beauty parlor in Clarksburg and that Mary Penn, Edith Stiles, and Ethel Connelly were her able assistants. Joe stated that Rockville, due mostly to the large businesses created by our ambitious class, had become a thriving metropolis.

H. S„ Clagett and “Steamboat” Rack were now the most efficient chefs in the place. Ramona Pauley and “Kitty’’ Howes and Adene Maffctt were engaged as waitresses in this institution. Since he had mentioned “Mona Pauley, one must at once think of Natalie Hicks, and Fisher told me that she and “Blaekie Steam were leading a quiet and happy married life. 1 asked Joe if any of our classmates were now teaching at R. II. S. and lie told me that nearly the entire faculty was composed of them. Charles Ward had long since replaced Mr. Whiteford in the worthy instruction of Mathematics and now conducted classes with a stern hand. I learned that half the entire population of Rockville was speaking French due to the superb instruction of Audrey Guy. When I inquired as to athletics, I was told that due to Marshall Mason’s theoretical tutoring ing’’ him. I 45 I
