CLASS PROPHECY Dear Ethel: I received your letter June 12. 1023. and was very much pleased to hear that you were in Germany. 1 was very much surprised to hear that William O'Connell is a professor in the Latin School of Berlin. He was always great on studying! And to think that Beth and Ruth are still together and playing in the theaters in London! Is it really true that Leone met you in Dresden? I wonder what this means. Imagine my surprise while inspecting the schools of Illinois to see. sitting at the desk of a country school. Evelyn Oster. What do you think of that? And. by the way. Ella Thorske is still teaching at Glenwood. The students at old S. P. N. who are taking United States History this year are using Eliza Montgomery’s history for a text book. I read in a paper about a week ago that Marie McCallin and Mabel Rice were lecturing on Woman’s Rights in Idaho. When 1 attended the world's fair at Plover last year I met Carl Nelson taking tickets at the gate. While there I saw a show run by Prosper Kluck and one of the principal characters was Iva De Witt, who took the part of Alice in Alice in Wonderland. I also saw the famous chorus girls. Ruth Ross, Irene McPhail. Alma Johnson. Alice Doxrud. Crystal Bigelow, and others whom I did not know. If you can get the book called ■‘Cordelia FitzGerald. read it. for it is just fine. Ruth Beattie is the author; its style is the same as that which Ruth used when talking about something exciting. Donald is a professor in Harvard. Of course he teaches Chemistry. You know that Donald married Ruth Hull after all. Joseph Beck is a tailor in Wyoming. III., and I read in last night’s paper that Otto Schreiner had bought a drygoods store in the same place. Muriel Hulce is a clerk in Otto's store. 1 don't think I ever wrote you that last fall, when I went to a convention in Milwaukee. a friend and 1 were walking down Grand Avenue, when all at once we heard the most terrible sounds coming from an upper window. My friend suggested that we go up and find what was causing the noise. After climbing several flights of stairs we came to a large hall. There at the front of the hall sat Mildred Kelsey, and after listening some time I found that Mildred was President of this meeting, which was an Old Maids' State Convention. Some of the others present were the Leary girls. Christina Koltz, Cora Doxrud. Christine Bannach. Roseltha Deleree. and Margaret Tozier. The terrible sounds which alarmed us were caused by the spinsters’ trying to sing The Purple and the Gold to console themselves and to make them think they were young again. Mabel Kittleson. the center on our basketball team, is living at Los Angeles in single bliss. She is a typical old maid, with her cats (1 think she has a dozen), her parrot, and her dog. The boys of our class are certainly doing things. Stanley Wood is President of the Coal Heavers’ union. Carl Oden is ambassador to Greece, and Alvin Anderson is ambassador to Norway. The members of our class have scattered, haven't they? Gladys Stowe is a teacher in the Milwaukee schools. Florence Billings is Speaker in the House of Representatives. Ruth Rausch is county superintendent of Marathon county. Hazel Whitney is taking tickets at Emma Bronson's new roller rink in the South. Gertrude Goodhue is a missionary in the South Pacific Islands. Miss Bour-sier is the President of a school for girls in China. Marie Rogers is the leading dressmaker of San Francisco. Amelia Schliesman is still going to school in Stevens Point. Mildred Alexander is teaching in Boston. Grace Polebitski is posing for sweater advertisements. Regina Kluck has married a French count. Florence Seamans is on the stage. Agnes Wood is a nurse in the leffry-Hales hospital at Quebec. Mary West is still to be found wherever Irene is. Florence Wilcox has invented a machine which will prove invaluable to practice teachers. It is warranted to turn out plans with which the most exacting critic teachers can find no fault. In a few years, as a result of this wonderful invention, red ink will be a has been.” Hoping that this account of Sophomore destinies has proved of interest to you. I remain Yours till I'm somebody else’s. R. G. S. 42
