'- THE VAN OF 1932 .J CLASS PROPHECY It was on May 39, 1950, that Maude Marian Herbert and I, both sociable and refined old maids, began a tour of the U. S. We had accu- mulated quite a large sum of money, and after being informed by reliable lawyers that the million dollar estate of John D. Rockerbilt had been will- ed to us, we decided that we could afford this trip. I think it appropriate to relate a few of our experiences, especially those meetings with our beloved chums who graduated with the Class of '32 . Upon our arrival in Pittsburg we were directed to the beautiful Ta- coma Hotel where we were met by a large, robust, stalwart colored por- ter. We immediately noticedl his resemblance to our friend, Charles Stallcop. Imagine our surprise when he solved the question by explain- ing, confidentially, that. he Was under disguise as a colored porter on ac- count of the large salary attached to the position. After dinner we decided to go to a show, and when we reached the Plaza Theatre we were again greeted by a big surprise. Heading the Vaudeville program was The Wilson Family , in person. Mystro, the magician Cformerly Woodrow Wilsonb performed many daring acts such as the removing and replacing of heads of living human beings. He also produced doves, rats, and other living animals from utter space. After Mystro's performance came his wife, the former Iva Landis, and with her were six of their children, all of whom were distinguished dancers and trapeze Performers. After a good night's rest we started for New York, and it was on the following Saturday night that we arrived at New York City. As it was our custom to attend church on Sunday mornings, we arose early the next morning and attended the Christian Church. When the minister, a short, fat, curly-haired and very good-natured-looking gentleman, ap- peared we recognized him as William Thompson. Although during our school days he was never thought of as a future sky pilot he delivered a marvelous sermon on The Degeneration of our High School People . As it had always been Maude Marian's ambition to take an airplane ride, we agreed to stop at a large airport in Buffalo, where only reliable aviators were employed. As we were walking toward the plane a pilot approached us, and who was he but Thomas Haughee? After the ride we spent almost an hour talking with him and he seemed very happy to in- form us of his marriage to Edna Marks. We visited Edna that afternoon and she also was very proud of her home and family. Yes, she had a library! When we arrived at Niagara Falls there was a great crowd and much Johnny, in Latin- The man run into the enemy's end Page forty-eight
