lD.l-1.5. Blue and Go cl 1924 Class Prophc-:cu One evening as the gray shadows spread over the plains, I was sitting alone before the fireplace in our little shack on our claim in Wyoming. Dorothy had gone to the city for a three weeks' supply of groceries and the mail. I started from my mus- ing as l heard Dorothy shouting to her hroncho outside. ln a few minutes she burst into the room with her arms tull and all excited over a special delivery package. Being old maids and never receiving much mail, we were very anxious to know what the package contained. Hasti.y opening it, to our surprise, we found it to be the chain letter our class had started when we graduated from W'akarusa High School ten years ago. Forgetting our household duties for the next hour we busied ourselves in read- ing the most interesting missives we had received in many a day. The first one happened to be from Jerald and Earl, and as we read it, how anxious we were to learn what the others: had in store for us. After we had read and enjoyed every one of them, we thought it would he nice to pass them on to you. So here goes: Hello Evlhodyx- UAm yo' all as yo' was tu be? llle and Joe is. VVell, say does yo' recommember dat ol' class of 1924? l sure do recommlect dat won'ful class. Bet dey don't 'spect we're in any business a-tall. Le's show 'em Joel.
