CLASS PROPHECY Sanford, Florida, January 1, 1950. DEAR Miss SHOEMAKER: Cfou will have to pardon me, but it doesn't seem natural to call you a Mrsj We were so sorry you couldn't come back to our- class reunion, you missed the time of your life. I will try to tell you all about it. There are several reasons for the sudden growth of Sanford's population. First, there is the new Johns Hopkins Hospital. You knew Charles Betts and Bob Cornell, the two Mayo brothers of today, had been placed at the head of this noted institute, but the secret of its removal to Sanford is that Eleanor declared she would never be happy living anywhere other than Celery Avenue. Then, too, Bob still has hopes of marrying Mary McMahon, who is secretary to Governor William Vihlen. Billie has accomplished big things. First, he won Freda Ganas' hand, and now, he is trying to have the capitol moved to Sanford. Another factor that has played such an important part in the development of this district is the modern farmers, known as the Future Farmers in our high school days. This organization has a group of farms which attract thousands of tourists each year. Ellis Dowling Tyler, now president of this worldffamous organization, boasts several million, all because he discovered a way of growing odorless onions. They tell me Mrs. E. D. Tyler, nee Florence Hardy, has been the force behind all Ellis' accomplishments. Our chemist, Lewis Stevens, plans to devise a method of reducing the cost of shipping celery 982. CExtract the water, which is 9892, of celery, ship celery to destination, and have the water replacedj. Lewis beamingly tells me that, as soon as they can get this method patented, he is going to marry Catherine Greer, Ruth Cum' mings, or Grace Evans. These dear old girls certainly have a lot of patience. Of course, you've heard that Leslie Harnage and Jay Young, financiers of New York, have invested several millions building an artificial island in Lake Moiiroe. Leslie and Jay could not come to the reunion, but they sent their wives, the former Mary Forrester and Sara Moye. This island is the scene of all the night life of Sanford, Orlando and neighboring towns. Gne of the largest auditoriums in Central Florida is located here. lt is in this auditorium that the famous coon team, composed of George McClelland, George McRory and George Anderson are playing in Chicken Gravy and Mashed Potatoes. Marion Haynes, blues singer of Broadway, is taking the part of Chicken Gravy. The reunion was an allfday affair. It began at 7:30 with a breakfast at the BonnyfKnight Tea Room. Bonny and Nell have gone to South America to rescue Hubert Lawson from the treacherous hands of the senorf itas. During the meal we were entertained by Collie, the Clown. QYou remember Clarence Collins, don't you?j. Collie's wife and chief assistant is the former Miss Evelyn Echols, better known as Gracie Allen II. They say the little Collie looks like Clarence and giggles like Evelyn. F The folks here tell me Adelaide Higgins and Grace Clark have isolated themselves on an island in Lake Monroe. Poor girls-they are both convinced that Charles Beldin, rich oil magnate, is going to preserve his bachelorhood as long as possible. Guess who sat across the breakfast table from us? It was little Sadie Leinhart, head nurse at johns Hopkins. You remember reading of O. P. Herndon's wreck when his plane hit a skyscraper in New York. It was this publicity that wrecked his whole life. O. P., while in Europe making millions, selling the famous bachelor shirts Cshirts with buttons guaranteed not to come offl heard Sadie had never married her childhood sweetheart, Roy Hershcowitzg and so, O. P. immediately rushed back to make Sadie his bride. But fate decided differently. Herschel Hamby, that notorious home Wrecker of the West, appeared with a marriage certificate. She declared she and O. P. were married the very night they graduated from S. H. S. Roy is still designing baby clothes for Woolworth and Company. Sadie tells me Evelyn Lord was nursing at Johns Hopkins until she was put on David Earle's case. David had been suffering from a weak heart ever since Virginia Lundquist turned him down for Elmer Bandy. Under Evelyn's tender care, David was nursed back to health and happiness. He and Evelyn are now the proud papa and mama of two sets of Earle twins. I also saw John Minarick, but he is not the Episcopal Bishop I had hoped he would be, and it is rumored that he is one of the notorious Speck Cochran Gangstersof Lake Mary. Speck took up this work when Mary Elizabeth Neely chose the stage in preference to him. Patient little Annie Wilma Woods is still hoping James will turn aside from his evil ways and marry her. After breakfast, all those desiring could go for airplane rides. J. W. Altman and ,lack Hughes brought their whole fleet, consisting of one hundred planes, down to the reunion to give us all a treat. These two aces and the Pearson brothers are the owners of one of the largest privatelyfowned aviation Helds in the U. S. Strange but true, Jack and Ralph have never been up in a plane. You can hardly blame them for not running any risksg life is so sweet now. Did you know they had married the Piatt sisters? Yes, they have twin estates at Lake Monroe, and the yard is literally peppered with little Pearsons. Page 'Twentyfjow
