THE ELECTRA CLASS PROPHECY lVhile l was sitting one evening before my cheery Fire. enjoying remi- niscences of the past. my wandering eyes chanced to stray to the books piled neatly on the library table. One book in particular caught my eye and at the sight of the engraving, Electra, on the cover, 1 bounded from my chair. The Springdale High School Annual of 1928. How did it get here? 1 thought l had lost it long ago. I opened its pages. Ah! the Senior class pictures! VVhy. first is Mary Brumbaugh. Brummy, like myself. is hap- pily married. with a family about her. In the next two faces l seeyfame. NVho would have thought that the high school boy of fourteen years ago, john Desmone. would be Am3erica's greatest artist and Charles Desmone. the world's greatest tenor? Still another classmate followed the path to opera fame. Only the other night I entertained a star in person, Miss Velma Ducoeur. NVe had quite a chat and to me she seemed the same old Vettie of our high school days. Eleanor Dattolal The last timeil heard from Nora, a matter of a few months. she was enjoying a pleasant term teaching Spanish in one of the Florida schools. There are a great many things that are possible, for in Verda Davidson I recognized one of the foremost movie stars of the day. Looking from my window tonight 1 see the gleaming sign of the day, Over Night. Yes, over night. the boys and girls of our class have grown up and made names that have helped make the history of Springdale High School famous. Artists, singers, teachers, actresses-America is rich in these Fields. Yet still another classmate has been added to the Hall of Fame. Ben- ton Haas is prominent in scientific work. His molecular theory has helped make books for study. Another home girl is Ethel Howells, who is making a cheerful little wife for her husband. Iithel always was a domestic little girl. Kay, inclined athletically. is a basketball coach and calisthenic director, and her buddy,l' Mamie Nauman, is commercial instructress in a large high school in Southern California. Somebody's stenographer for two years, now somebody's wife. Thus after a four year high school career, Marian Kennedy is happy. Thelma Root is an Elocution teacher in California. Still, two other fellow students have made names for themselves in music halls. john Mazur has turned o-ut to be a devoted husband, as well as an accomplished violinist. All his ambitions to be a priest seem to have flown as swiftly as they came. Isabel Turner. or rather Madame Turner. has become quite a pianist. After years of 'study abroad she has returned to provide entertainment for Americas music lovers. Yes. and still a third is an artist. Mr. Szucs, from present reports, is pleasing audiences with his AwiusziawwanswawumusargaLyman: I ,9 2 8 ,... S. lv..-.W ,vi W. ,, ,Y ' Page twenty-fit e
