SENIOR CIQASS PROPHECY Yes, this last was from Bob Alexander, doesn't it sound like him? You shall do as I say or else!!', But the rest of Kathlyn Nease's speech was lost in shrieks of laughter from within the train. We naturally hurried to see what caused so much merriment. When we reached the scene we found Robert Truscott dancing the Highland Fling' on a table in the bar room car with Faye Tuttle furnishing rhythm on her sax. And was she hot! We saw Earl Fryrear acting as water-boy for both of them. u By this time we had arrived in Kansas City and more passengers were get- ting on. We always enjoyed mixing through a new crowd to pick out our acquaint- ances. We soon discovered two of our old classmates. Rosa DeGrazio and her' new husband Guy Muto. Yes, they were on their honeymoon but as Rosa cxpgessed it. For Heavens sakes, don't tell any one! Don't worry we didn't nee to. Coming down the aisle was a. man dressed immaculately. Someone bumped into him and we heard him exclaim, Oh, Gracious, such vulgar people. We were more than shocked when, as he drew nearer, we found him to be no other than jack Paquette, our old Spartan. VVho should the fellow hc-hind him be but David Corlett. VVell, well. Dave, where have you been P I am now managing the Ladies Ready-to-wear Depart- ment in the Belle Fashion Store in Hollywood. Our conversation was inter- rupted by .lohn Wilson. who was weaving his way along' the train. It was evi- dent he had heard David's remark for as he passes us he mumbled, Why men go insane. We turned back but Dave was gone. We went into the next car and found a moving picture on the screen. VVG quietly sat down to enjoy a few moments rest. The picture for the evening was progressing and to our surprise the first face to appear was that of Iris McCall. She was leading lady in a thrilling love story opposite George Muto, our present Rudolph Valentino. An amusing comedy was also shown which brought back old faces and mem- ories. The scene of the comedy seemed to rake place in a little village of lce- burg. Here we found Ray llockett promptlv hesieffed hv practically cvcrv Eskimo girl in town. The minute he stepped out of his Igloo four of the-sc demonstra- tive maidens namely: Mildred Smyth. Dorothy Suhry. Mary Vliialltf-i', and Lois Alway. would rush up. throw their arms about him and crv Voomie fdarlipq in En-glishl-I must admit he enioyed it-until!!! Good for Ray providing he can take it.

l in' Donor 141 Y S Unity EARLE TAYLOR ROBERT Tnuscorr F .xv 'l'L7TTL1z ELVA XVAGNER I CAROLX' N XVILSON I JOHN WILSON SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was the year of 1959. Colorado, as well as many other states was spon- soring a Special Zephyr train to New York City where the greatest football game of the century was to be played. Russia was to play the United States. Chalmers Porter was coach of the COssack's team, otherwise known as the famous hill- billies, while Bob Scudder was coaching for the United States. It seemed that Chalmers took Cassie Beck, Lengthy Cribari, Slick Haley, and Jimmie Jay with him when he decided to give Uncle Sam a wee bit of competition from Russia. Bob Scudder, the modern Tarzan as he was called, had a marvelous team. His center was a little man with bright neck ties, Harold A. White. Others in the line-up whose names attracted our attention were Earle Taylor, Volney Perry, Shorty McClure, and Pat falias Patricia Snecldonl. To go on with the story of the trip, we were all settled as the train pulled out. After watching the scenery for awhile, we tired of it and went out On the observa- tion car where we found Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bovee fMrs. Bovee formerly was Miss Doris Grahamj. They were playing viaduct, the latest game out, based on the principles of bridge, .however slightly easier to get Over. We were glad to see Blanche Ollie as we had not heard from her since she Hunked out at Colum- bia U. From one corner Of the observation platform, we heard this conversation: Yes, I am going to stay over to see the Opera. Madge jPeairs is singing the leading role in Love 'Em and Leave 'Emf' From the other person came this: I'd like to see the Opera too, for Madge was always a good friend' of mine, but really, Kay, we must go to the new night club on 42nd Street where Katharine Darby is doing a feature dance with Roger Aude as her sparring partner. .

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY We then went into the drawing room and turning on the television set, to our amazement we saw a parade in Honolulu, all of the dusky maidens were doing the Hula Hula dance. To our surprise-Elva Wagner was in front di- recting. I asked the friend next to me why she was there and was informed that she, being the greatest dancing director in the U. S., and having once directed a dancing section of the Senior Class, was now improving the Hawaiians dancing. We soon found we knew several others in the parade. Edith Nelson was being carried by on two white elephants. fShe had gone there for a visit and as the Hawaiians worship people with auburn C ???j hair they had adopted her for their queenj At the end of the parade we saw Ed McKenna, or 'fEddie Pat as he was called. Edith had made him head manager of all financial matters, foreign and interior, as well as on the sea-coast. So they had matters fairly well in hand. The next program of importance was a speech by our new President, Virgil Cowen. He thanked the people for electing him and gave the first public announcement of the members of his cabinet: Ray Schneider, Secretary of War, Mary Burgess, Secretary of the Interior, Stella McMullen, Secretary of Agri- culture, and Virginia Siring, Secretay of Labor. Virgil had bigger and better' ideas-and women in politics or any where else, was one of them. Turning off the set we looked around to see if anyone new had arrived and saw most of the people leaving. Following them, we found there was a fifty minute stop-over at Niagara Falls. On the platform we found the Hi Diddle: Diddle orchestra out to greet the train. The orchestra leader looked familiar. Yes, it was Clayton Honeywell. There was Bobbie F erraro with his flute, Frank Mazzotta at the piano. We had to look twice to see who they were. VVell! I'll be - - - ! ! if it wasn't Alice l.. Gorman, Frances Hunt, and Berniece Pringle. beautiful voices and can you imagine that---platinum hair? And on all three! XVell! it looks like a put up job. VVe passed the orchestra and went into a lunchroom for a bite of food. The waitress, Harriett Anderson. greeted us with her usual smile and told us they had the best cook to be found anywhere, Buddy law. He could cook anything from soup to nuts-so she said. Of course we didn't care much about that variety so ordered the Heller Special l.uncheon, which was first originated by our old friend Burton. Others at the lunch counter were Catherine Alway with Paul Martin, it was rumored that anything might be expected from this pair. The train whistle called us back to our car. We sat down beside Maxine McClure and Dizzy VVilson. who were engaged in a friendly argument over wo- men in aviation. This soon turned into practically a tight. Before we were aware of it our train had reached New York. XVe found Manuel Ulguin and Carl Pasquale, high ofhcials of New York City, greeting the train. After saying hello, everyone hastened to his own group of friends and soon the platform was vacant.
