Mary Marshal1's last book Main Street Gossip has been a great success Mary is quite a promising authoress. She has plans for twelve more books. Mary Colwell is now Mrs. Merle Bol- ing. She made Merle d6 all the house- work while she went on lecturing tours so poor Merle ran away. This morning our Baby Lincoln motor car began cutting capers, so we took her down to be overhauled. Harris- on Mc'Bride put her in running order, but this afternoon we started on a little trip and Lizzy stopped, coughed, and sputtered, kicked, lay back her ears, and dove straight over the bank. Luckily no one was hurt anid we walked to the Dew Drop Inn, just a quarter of a mile away, to telephone to town. We found Ruth Stewart and Evelyn Brewer in the best of health. They heartily enjoy taking care of Dew Drop Inn. Lee Newlon, who is a taxi-driver for the Yellow C-ab Line, took us to Salem. Dick seems to be eni joying life.

51 4-Y N' QI Senior Class Prophecy Many years have passed since that fateful day when the Class of '24 gradu- ated from Salem High School. In this great year of 1944 many things have happened. Amd perhaps you'd like to know what has happened to the gradu- ates of 1924. Alright, now listen closely. 'Dhe other day Barnum and Baiiley's Circus was in town, and I saw several of my old cl-ass-mates. Harold Banks was selling tickets to the wild animal show. Mrs. Charles Alexander, nee Olive Burrell, sold tickets for the big show. As we entered, a rolly-polly clown greeted us in flowery language, and then capered to the other end of the tent. It was none other than Kenneth Barrett. Just before the show closed, Howard Morris, Charles Alexanuder, Grace King and Bessie Smedley did a trapeze stunt. Roscoe VanCleave and' Glen Harned have returned to t.he farm. Roscoe has won his little lump of the world's money 'by raising chickens, remaining a bache- lor. But Glen has married and Elva Morris now claims the name of Mrs. Glen Harned. Alberta Brewer has won great fame in this town as a politician. She has been Mayor of Salem, which, by the way numbers 50,000, and is now ia candidate .for the office of Governor of Indiana. Kenneth Short is in Texas ,wmanaging 'his cattle ranch, with Newell Jeffs as ,his foreman. Several years ago, Salem was only a very small country town, but now, as I have said before, it numbers 50,000. Oil was fund on the country estate of Wil- ma Cauble, and Salem grew like magic as a result. Amy Hammersmith, Alga Branaman amd Lola Boling are worth millions now, due to their reckless spec- ulatlons in Washington County Oil. Roy Wilson has taken unto himself a wife-formerly Miss Dorothy Clarke. At present they are living at Hillcrest. their country estate, w.here Roy raises- Gympsom weeds. Clara Bush is international singles tennis champion. Harold Wright has become the great- est lawyer of the nation. They do say that if once he decides that he wants 55 from you, he can convince you that you are a criminal ,and need his advice. Then w.hen he is through talking. he will say Ten Dollars, Please and you hand it to him with a grateful heart, thinking you have escaped the penal farm. Of course, since Salem is so large and so wealthy, a police and detective force are kept busy all the time. Cleatls Fultz has become Chief-of-Police .and has prov ed quite efllcient. Charles Dalton, our greatest detective, is a secbnfd Sherlock Holmes. He could tell you every little tiny clue, or incident, that has happened in the last ten years, that might beat on some murder mystery. Virginia Crim is Dean of Women at Indiana University. Mae Holsap-ple is very, very plump now. A few days ago, an auto ran, BANG!--right into her. Mae did not even lose her balance, but walked cooly but slowly to the curb. The owner of the Forde-none other than Earl Cauble found it extremely- necessary to repair his tires, buy two new fenders, two new springs, and a carburetor. When ques- tioned about it afterwards, Earl said that the street was so narrow .he could- n't get arounld her. Lebert Williams is janitor at the Court House ,and Bertha Smith, Hqw Bertha Williawms ,teaches New Phila- delphians their readin', wrltin', and 'rithmeticf' lf1Page ninety-sixj
