Class Prophet Rena Wright January 27 Dear Diary, I didn’t realize that the class of ’42 would be so interesting to fol- low until I got behind the television switch-board. Here I see everybody. Only last month I remember tracing a call to Hollywood. Who did I see staring me in the face but Playboy Edmund Little, who had just reached town. The soft-spoken handsome Mr. Little had returned from an inspection tour on some of his million- dollar plants down in South America. Television took me to an opera house in New York once. Here I saw “Dot” Hil- dreth, who was rehearsing for her hit show of the year. She was with the Pleasant Music Club. In listening in on the wire I found that Margaret Helen Gaddy and Mary Elizabeth Davis were also connected with the club—Margaret Helen with her own little band, and Mary Elizabeth as director of the singing. One day I found myself gazing into the heart of a business district in the office of the industrial magnate. Joseph Fellers. Joseph was in conference wi th his ste- nographer, Emma Trexler. Close scrutiny revealed that the success of this firm was CLASS PROPHECY due largely to the efforts of Vera Fergu- son, private secretary. My eyes traveled through the wires to another part of New York. Here I looked in on Correne McQuague, famous interior decorator. She had found that the modern living room could be don2 in nothing prettier than purple and gold. February 27 Dear Diary, I am now working in the I. C. U. Office in Teleme, Missouri. Yes- terday I sent a call to Miss Jennings Seago, founder of the Study-Hard Insti- tute. Wyolene Teal and Nancy Ingram were also working at this institute per- forming the task of teaching the younger generation. On days when I’m off duty I go sight- seeing here in Teleme. In going around I found the hospital a very interesting place. I met Julia Lowe, head of the Nurses’ Home. In chatting with Julia, I learned that Evelyn Yow, air-line hostess, had received a brain injury in an airplane crash the week before. Evelyn had a brain operation, which was described as “most unusual” performed by the brilliant sur- geon, Doctor Ann Lockhart. Today I saw a very thrilling college football game. After the game I went over to congratulate the winning team. Who do you suppose was the beloved coach? “Heavy” Wright! March 27 Dear Diary, last week Miss Bebe Stokes, glamorous debutante from New York, sent a call to “Mot’s’” Dress Shop in San (Continued on Page 52)
