T H T A T T L E R Prophecy of Class of ’22 St. Anthony, Idaho, May 21, 1932. Miss Hazel Blevins, Abyssinia, Africa. Dear Hazel: — - Our dear old class of 1922 met in the auditorium of the St Anthony High School, as we planned to do ten years ago, when we graduated- All were present except you, so our pres ident, Mr. Kenneth Rodecker, who is now a great lecturer touring the country on the sub- ject of Dangers of Tobacco on the Coming Generation,” appointed me to write this to you. Of course you knew Sidney Yager married Beth Sutton and they are now running a pharmacy in Windor. Barbara is the proprietor of the I.afonkist Beauty Parlor in Denver. She also demon- strates the new devices of How to keep thin. The happiest of our class, Irma Hunter, is now quietly married in Parker and is the proud mother of a pair of laughing twins, Reva Thompson is teaching vocal lessons in New York and running in competition to Madam Sell uma n -Hein k. The noted arguer of our class, Milton Meredith, is traveling for the Munsing Under- wear Company. He reports large sales. Veda Munk is a Prima Donna and her sister. Reva. is her accompanist. You remem- ber. they used to play and sing in the assembly. Marion Hudson is traveling for the Ellison White Chautauqua. Whoever would have thought of conne t ng such success with salted peanuts and cough drops. Whoever would have thought that Yenna Andrasen would have become the most wealthy in our class. She fell heir to millions and adopted ten children. Besides all this we have a county officer in our group. Donald Spiers is scattering poisoned oats to kill sewer rats. We all used to think that Velma Andrasen would become a world typist, but instead he is a noted ' cabaret dancer in London. Raymond Rosenlof has a job fitting on hosiery in the ladies’ department in San Fran- cisco. He likes his job very much. Watch for the Barnum and Bailey Circus, for Mark Ellingson is a leading acrobat trav- eling with them. People come from all over the world to see him perform- Did you know we had a noted author in our class? Mabel Woodfield has just published her latest book. called Reasons Why I Never Married.” Our old friend Henrietta Mowray is making a lecture tour of the world, talking on the subject of Better Babies.” Gladys Snell is a noted designer in Bullocks, at Los Angeles. The change of climate seems to agree with her. If you remember, we all were sure Leslie Stewart had talent. He is now a soda squirt in Wilford. Page Tliirty-one

THE T A T T L E R History of Glass of 1922 Four years ago our class of about fifty members entered High .School, as green as any Freshman class ever was. We must certainly have been amusing to the faculty and upper classmen, and it is not surprising. Anyone who has ever seen a group of small children troop into their room on the first day of school, ever so frightened, will realize just how we looked — in fact, how every Freshman class looked and will look till the end of time. When I look back now, I am surprised at the change Yet it should not be surprising, for in the life of everyone a change is inevitable and mere especially in school life, and our 1 greenness soon became not the indication of ignorance but, as the greenness of a tree, that of maturity, intellectual maturity To prove this and show our utter disregard for the jibes of the other classes we adopted green and white as our class colors. We have always taken honors from the rest of the school in debating, declamation and athletics. Our Sophomore year was a great success in all lines. We were entertained at a banquet for winning the inter-class basketball games, and we also won several places in declamation. Our Junior year showed that we were still progressing. The High School basketball team was composed mainly of Juniors. Donald Lloyd, our orator, won second place in the state oratorical contest. We must admit that in armory ball, our girls ran up against a difficult proposition, but as we cannot have everything, we feel it is no disgrace to have | lost this one time. All success is good for no one and it is only bv overcoming adversity that progress can be assured, and so we decided to do better next year. In our Senior year our ranks were somewhat depleted, as several of our class-mates left for other schools, but through it all we have a graduation class of twenty-nine- Naturally, as Seniors, we feel this to be our best year and we are taking a more prom- inent part in the activities of the High School. This is the largest, and, we are sure, the best class that has ever graduated from the St. Anthony High School, and though the work has not been easy and the successes have been attained only through persistent and diligent application, we hate to leave the High School. We have tried to the best of our ability to deserve our success, and we believe: “ ’Tis not in mortals to command success; But we’ll do more, dear classmates, we’ll deserve it.” B.

THE TATTLER Katherine and Melvin hated to come west as they had no one to gather their eggs. Oh, yes, they are married and are living on a poultry farm in New Jersey. Wealthy has spent most of her time gathering specimens of the geneological age, in Mexico. I suppose she will publish another Ancient History- Fran Armstrong is a world-renowned dancing master in Paris. Our Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty is Sara Cahoon. Who would have thought it ten years ago? Elmer Kershaw has become a great profiteer and spends his time profiteering on a ten- eent investment of peanuts. Vernon Jackson is now a professor of music at Yale. We were all surprised to find that Melva Bean was leading saleslady at the Parisian Smart Shop at Heman. The world will never miss Michael Angelo now Irma Stoddard has completed her mas- terpiece. Hazel, we missed you but were glad you were doing much good missionary work in Africa, and healing wounded hearts. With best wishes, CLASS OF ’22. — M. B. ’22. 1 Page Thirty-two
