CLASS PROPHECY OF 1939 To prove how successful the members of the January 29 class had been in selecting their vocations, Mr. Fry employed Helen Brim-ner to make out a report of each member of the class. The first person she investigated was Mme. Margaret Griffeth, modeste of Paris, France. Among her many winsome models are three members of the Jan. ’29: Verna Ball, Zeta Harrington, and Esther Nye. The next student was the Secretary of State, John Vincent Harris; he enclosed a note from his housekeeper, Irene Bragg. Mrs. W. Moore, better remembered as “Pat Grice” is enjoying a vacation abroad where she recently had her face lifted by Francis Brown, world famous plastic surgeon. Dick Schultze is now attending a convention of the R. A. S. C. which is being held in Chicago. He reports great success of this organization under the competent leadership of Stein Andersen. Elva Nelson is nursing an aged aunt suffering from rheumatism, whom Dr. Vickers has given up as a hopeless case. Ed Kudella, in St. Louis, is America’s “Babe Ruth II.” He has just undergone a severe operation by having his tonsils extracted. PAGE THIRTEEN
