ECHO SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY TJT T PON graduating from Seattle Prep on June 7, the class of 1935 resolved to hold a i reunion every five years for all those of the class who could return to the old Alma Mater. This week will sec the third of these gatherings. Fifteen years have brought as many changes into the lives of the graduates of 1935 as to all the rest of the world. John Peter, who was president of the class, is an active executive of an eastern advertising and indus-trial designing house. Angelo Magnano travels half a dozen times a year to Italy to keep an eye on his olive groves and confer with Mussolini. On his last trip he met Aldo Morelli in Rome. Aldo, you remember, was the fellow who made himself famous with the invention of an Italian tamale. Bobbie Rebhahn was playing professional baseball for a few years after graduation, but now he’s writing sports for the coast papers. And Art Meagher is another who is engaged in journalism. When last heard from, he was running a newspaper in the East. George Goerig did the expected thing and got himself into a law firm, where he's doing all right by the Constitution. He has Jack Moriarty for a partner, the lad who decided to capitalize on that high-pressure personality. Jack Starr is providing the last word in dance music to the patrons of a fashionable New York hotel, and he still talks about Glen Gray with a light in his eyes. Joe Bauer is doing the vocal numbers for Jack's band, and knows the words to more songs than any other five singers. Jerry McHugh is another one in the musical trade. He s one of Victor's recording consultors. Then there's Dick Grady, who gave up a promising acting career in favor ot the medical profession. He's studying in Vienna now, but is expected to return soon. Jack O'Donnell couldn't resist the Communists for very long. He's in Russia now, telling them what's wrong with the country. Art Cole, who's gone in for teaching English in a big way, ought to provide those at the banquet with some fancy after-dinner speaking. Entertainment will be expected from Eddie Campbell, t x , for he will arrive in Seattle from stage engagements just in time for the reunion. And speaking of the banquet, Frank Buchanan is likely to be supplying the provisions, for those early dismissals in 1935 paved the way to the establishment ot quite a market. Walt Kane and Bill McGuire became the scientists of the crowd; both of them use their slide rules twenty-four hours a day now. Walt's a statistical expert and Bill has charge ot the railroad construction department of the same engineering company. Jarlath Lyons finally gave in to the wanderlust urge and began promoting summer cruises to Ireland. The football business claimed Hank Martin, who is coaching at a Mid-Western school. Bob McNamara stayed in the political races till he got to the top. He is now governor-general of the Philippines. Frank Hayes was quite a debater in 1935, and he liked them so well he got a job which will keep him listening to them all his life. He's a State Supreme Court Judge now. Quite naturally, Art Conley went in for railroading, and he's plenty steamed up about it. The munitions trade got a valuable addition in Dude Bel ford, who was convinced about entering it from his early experience with the DuPont Corporation. James Dibb runs a company which manufactures sleeping powders, something about which he knows almost all there is! And Ad Smith persevered in the communication business till he practically owns Postal Telegraph at this moment. Lewis Orth is, of all things, a truant officer, and Dennis Casey plans to grab the office next, if and when the Republicans get back into office. Walt McNerney ended up a dentist, more than likely because he always was seeking the painless way to do everything. Frank Herkenrath picked the jewelry trade, and spends most of his time taking things apart as he's always wanted to. Restaurant owners are looking to Russell Dahline for advice these days. Four years in the Co-op store has got to mean something in a fellow's life. Art McGeough is cracking Woolworth's trade all over the place with his up-and-coming five-and-ten emporium. And Mark Emerson! Just read the sport pages and find out which golf cup he plans to cop next. Jack Spillane is travelling with Mark as a sort of manager, but we won’t vouch for his ability because he's always doing about seven things at once. At this day and age, in 1950, it's funny to think of what the Echo said in its prophecy about the future of the graduates. Just goes to show you can't ever judge by a man's school life what he's going to do later. PAGE RLP.VRN

ECHO SENIOR CLASS HISTORY-Continued On the treacherous gridiron many a foe was tackled by Martin, Morclli, Andrews, McNamara and Goerig; foul shooting ability marked Andrews' hoop play; and stellar perform-ances were assured when Rebhahn and Campbell cavorted on the diamond. Seaver and Bauer took up mountain yodeling, to the dismay of the class. Peter made gtxxl in the Gold Medal Debate, bringing the prize into our midst. Sodality members were numerous, with Conley as delegate to the national convention in Chicago. The major dramatic offering, His Father's Son, depended mostly on juniors. Again we predominated in numbers in the Elocution Contest, though not winning. Among our guides were Fr. Fink. S. J., around Religion View; Mr. Marshall, S. J., through Chemistry Cavern, and Mr. Burris, S. J., across History Canyon. Our last spurt up the icy slopes found twenty-three of our first group with thirteen others to bolster the thinning ranks. In the scholastic phases of the schtxd day we were aided by Mr. Evoy,S.J.,in English and debating. Mr. McDonald, S.J.,brought some of us through Virgil, economics and sociology; the propinquities of Xenophon were laid out to two lone, senior Greek-sters by Mr. Logan, S. J.; while the intricacies of French were made easy by Mr. Dachy, S. J., to a slightly larger class. Jose received a careful perusal in the Spanish class under Mr. O'Brien. S. J., who also developed eloquent after-dinner speakers. Higher mathematics and physics, the nemesis of many and the boon of a few, had Mr. Nealen, S. J., as a cheerful expositor amidst all its gloom. Religion teachers were as varied as their methods. Fr. Georgen, S. J., Fr. Maruca, S. J., and Fr. Logan, S. J., all undertook the task of making us spiritually ready for life. Glistening on the snowy pages of the Echo and Panther staffs were the names of many seniors. Notably present were Hayes, Conley, Meagher, Peter and Kane, from the literary standpoint; while Dibb, Smith, McHugh and O'Donnell handled finances. In debating we broke even with Gonzaga in a home and home contest; all the men being seniors who debated. For the Gold Medal Debate, Hayes, Magnano, Rebhahn and Kane represented us. The Elocution Contest gathered Moriarty, Goerig and McNamara. Dramatic productions were resplendent with seniors in the lead for all three major offerings. The orchestra found only one fourth-year veteran in Conley. Many new stripe bearers enhanced our room- Kane, Cole, Belford, Lyons and Magnano all making the grade in football. Basketball found only one new senior from last year in the personage of Rebhahn, who also was baseball captain. He and Andrews looped through many in the tense and needed times. Our fine football record can be justly credited to the steadiness and ability of the veterans coupled with the eagerness of the newcomers. The Sodality had many prominent seniors as officers and members. Magnano was prefect, aided by Andrews, Conley, Peter and Bauer. Dahline was an assistant. New Sodalists were Casey, Emerson, Spillane, McNcrney and Herkenrath. Starr became famous for his monthly visits with the Queen's Work, the Sodality magazine. Newcomers to us in the last year were Buchanan, Orth and Nepple. Among the managers for the various sports were McGuire in basketball and Andrews in baseball. Novel ideas were fostered in the brains of some seniors with the result that the Echo drive was started off with the best assembly program in years. Provincial Day found talks being given by seniors in French and Greek, besides the classy production of Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the last and most enjoyable year of our trek to reach the peak the following class officers were always ready to lead the party in hardship and danger: John Peter, president; Angelo Magnano, vice-president; Jack Starr, secretary-treasurer, and Bob Rebhahn, sergeant-at-arms. Thus it is that we have climbed Mount Education under the guidance of Seattle Prep, and we leave with the hope that in succeeding years other seniors will enjoy as happy a year as 193? has been to us.

Sheehan, Donohoe JUNIOR A AHOY, there! The ship of '36 pulls slowly into port for a three'month tic-up before beginning the fourth and last lap of its high school voyage. Mr. Logan, S. J., has piloted his ship well, ably assisted by Dick DeDonato, first mate; Jack Green, second mate; Jack Naughton, purser; and Tom Finn, irons keeper. In the ship's log there is a long and varied list of activities in which the passengers participated. Three A won the intramural basketball championship, gave valuable support to the Dramatic Club productions and composed neary half of the Senior Debate Club. Two of those registered, O'Gorman and Wilson, represented Three A in the Cold Medal Debate, while DeDonato and Wilson participated in the annual Elocution Contest. Besides the studious group there were many notable athletes aboard. Football, basketball, baseball—all profited by the aid of junior classmen. The lettermen, Colacarro, Claudon, Donovan, Finn, Green, Naughton, Sheehan and Wilson, comprised the brawny crew, and stuck by the ship until the end. Mr. Logan guided the ship through the narrow channels of Latin and Greek, while Mr. Evoy, S. J., took the wheel on the open sea of English. In history there was a divided course; Mr. McDonald, S. J., commanded the first semester, while Mr. McGruder finished the term. And while Mr. Grief, S. J., peered over chemistry maps and rules in the chart room, Mr. O'Brien, S. J., and Mr. Dachy, S. J., navigated in the Spanish and French bays. Led by their ever-increasing spirit of achievement, the Junior As have completed their most successful year. They have always most willingly given their all for the sake of the school, and have at the same time devoted themselves toward developing into the ace” class of Seattle Prep. The crew and passengers are assembling on deck as the S.S. '36 docks. Father Maruca, S. J., extending a farewell to the departing group of seniors, assures the juniors that next year should be the happiest and most successful part of their high school journey. PAGE TWELVE
