--'Ei Round-Up, 1928 ii ' PROPHECY OF CLASS W '28 YPEWRITERS clicked noisilyg somewhere in the seething cauldron of tumult a telephone bell pierced the air and a muf- Efmilf? fled voice answered it sharply, scurrying heels clicked on the wooden floor, desks were piled high with a confusion of papers, light, airy, feminine voices mingled with deeper masculine voices as the scores of people filtered through the larger sunlit office-this was the bustling routine of a large metropolitan daily. As I sat at my desk in the New York Times office that morning scanning the pages of the latest edition, I was conscious of a curt remark addressed to me by the office boy. City editor wants to see you. As I entered the editorial Sanctum, the large, well-built man, half concealed behind the avalanche of copy, flashed me a glance of recognition and dismissed me with the almost military command, Important trial that I want you to cover in judge Ames' court at 10 this morning, front page story with plenty of color. An hour later I found myself one of the wide-eyed spectators in the crowded courtroom. As I studied the restless group, I jotted notes on the pad in my hand. Suddenly all was quiet and tense, but for the charging voice of the prosecuting attorney and the more timid replies of the woman in the witness box. Several faces were hauntingly familiar in that courtroom, and after a few minutes of concentration I recognized Charles Dunning, the shrewd attorney for the defense, and Ruth Altschuld, the alert court reporter. And in the jury box there were Max Spencer, Sara Lee Dolgoff, Mary Anderson, Paul Ourieff, Aaron Medow, Bertha Rossum, Edith Stolsky, Elizabeth Polim, Fred Reiche, Jean Cornblith, and Isadore Goldstein, all successful business people now. Somehow those faces evoked old memories and, only half mindful of the scene before me, I was reliving many cher- ished incidents back at Roosevelt High School. Lost in my reverie, I was almost startled as I turned and met the intent gaze of Louis Chavarria. Several unfinished sketches lay on his lap, and I soon learned that he had established himself as staff artist of the New York Herald, and that Edward Munana, his assistant, was the originator of a clever comic strip that was meeting universal favor. Depressed by the stifling air in the close room, I felt relieved when I emerged once again in the fresh breeze. Hurrying to make the crossing before the tide of trafiic changed at the busy intersection, with a charge I collided with a youthful, smartly attired woman. After disentangling ourselves and looking up to make our apologies, we simultaneously emitted a gasp. Elsie l Sylvia ! Page Twenty-nine
