Class Prophecy 1937 In reply to request from editor of Who's Who . Wabash City Schools Wabash, Indiana June 1, 1950 Mr. Albert Nelson Marquis The A. N. Marquis Co. 670 Cass Street Chicago, Illinois Gentlemen: In answer to your request, we are pleased to submit this material to you and sincerely hope that it will assist you in publishing your next edition of Who's Who . Betty Brewer has set up her own studio in Vienna. In addition to her work which is receiving acclaim in the world of art, she finds time to de- velop the talents of the select few whose ability justifies her teaching. Evelyn Crist, originator of the Crist Modern Method of Calisthenics, is constantly proving that sound bodies are not extinct in these modern days of inactivity. The former model, Miss Barbara Sailors, is in Paris at present study- ing the latest trend in women's apparel. She plans to return to America in the fall and take charge of her own exclusive dress shop in New York City. r After the great strike was settled in the automobile industry, Chrysler heads found a certain Ruth Curts at the head of their Personnel Depart- ment. It later developed, however, that Ruth had dropped in to have the brakes checked on her Plymouth. With a characteristic flourish, Miss Judy Dawes descended upon the style center at New York and proceeded to ascend to the top of the list of New York's fine mannequins. Miss Joan Welsh is in the Philippine Islands serving as secretary to the commissioner. Joan received her job because of the excellent work she did in Washington in the Pension Department. People are anxiously awaiting the film version of Helen Rector's new book, Vanishing with the Air . Helen has rapidly made an important place for herself in the literary world and this book, her latest, has been the year's best seller. Robert Naugle decided to take up medicine. He specializes in surgery with offices in Indianapolis. Mary Miller, also a graduate of '37, is his head nurse, and we understand they are both in demand there. The Pan-American Airways has among its hostesses a Miss Marjorie Wilkerson. She travels from New York to San Francisco. We know the passengers on hor plane will have no difficulty in getting their minds off the trip if Marjorie entertains them. If you are in quest of a book, see Mary Schwab, one of the most com- petent librarians in the business. Through her efforts the shelves of the local library contain practically every book of merit known to the readers' realm, and if it is possible that you desire a book that she does not have, it is more than likely that she can secure it quickly by her contact with the larger book centers. You can get a glimpse of that old time broken field running of Ed Yar- nelle's by dropping in at Jack Dempsey's restaurant up New York way, as Ed skillfully escorts patrons to their tables. He would be head waiter by now if he could grow a better moustache, but he is still trying. Jim Biggs has been doing government work for fifteen years, and only recently joined the famed staff of G-Men. He is still receiving congratula- tions for his solution of the mysterious case of the disappearing peanuts in a five and ten cent store in Chicago. He discovered that a gang of culprits had tapped the store's supply and were using their swag for bean shooter ammunition. Dorothy Showalter is now heard from coast to coast via one of the
