22 Tyee ai Sele =a SENIOR CLASS PROPHESY Washington: De Cle ilay.es Ua looo Dear Helen: While hunting for a book today, I found in my trunk one of the annuals from the W. H. S. 1920, and was thereby reminded of all my classmates. I want+to thank you for the picture you sent me; a nurse’s uniform is certainly becoming to you. Since my arrival in Washington about three months ago, I have heard from or seen every member of our class. Just the other day while waiting for lunch, I noticed at the table next mine a young lady, who proved to be Ayleen Warner. I went over and talked to her, and she told me that she is still waiting for H. H. to finish his education. She told me that Wilma Clark, disappointed in love, has gone to the stage as a last resort, to try and forget her sorrow. I was quite surprised when I read from your letter that Helen DeLong is still answering all the advertisements headed, “‘How to Reduce.’’ I saw Clyde Fales the other day. He is hunting a place on some basket ball team. He was a sub for the White Stars until he put up a poor showing and was put off. The evening paper has just arrived, and it contains the announce- ment of the marriage of Opal Fretz to a prominent lawyer, Celestian Royal. Of course, Carrie Oster, who has become a very accomplished pianist, acted as Opal’s maid of honor. Blanche Melton is selling face powder. She stays at a home for girls, kept by Maude Brecbill and Alice Sherwood, two highly re- spected old maids. I was out to visit them one day. The place is a constant reminder of H. S. days. The color scheme is purple and gold, our class colors, you remember. Among their charges are Velma W., a fine seamstress; Irene Frick, who expects to teach kin- dergarten the rest of her days; and also Ruth Shippy, who is studying for a position as teacher of Math. in some college. Lois lives about five miles from Waterloo and is teaching little children to be—Misers. Anona Bensing stays with her and teaches a small country school, but as soon as this term is finished she ex- pects to give up teaching for something more important. I received a letter from Ruth Price yesterday. She lives in Minneapolis, and is very happy. In the same mail came a card from Ross Myers. He is in Africa, chasing Wild Women. Bob Widdicombe has become an expert accountant and holds a high position in the Ethiopian government. Dessa DeLong lives on a large farm just west of her home town, Corunna, and spends much of her time hunting game. I think that the class of 1920°is well represented in the walks of the world, and shall never forget our school days. e—Mildred Markley, ’20,

24 irip tert © cose b ale FORTUNES OF THE CLASS OF 1920 W. H. S. Feature Photoplay in Four Parts Produced by the all-star cast of the class of ’20. Directors Moudy — Hall — Forney. First Reel Place: Waterloo High—Time: Sept. 1916. The curtain rises to disclose twenty-four frightened boys and girls entering the high school as Freshmen. They are treated very scorn- fully by the upper classmen, who regard them as being of too bright a hue. The Freshmen, however, are well represented in the literary work and other school activities. Ross Myers plays the leading role of President in a very creditable manner. Second Reel Place: W. H. S.—Time: Sept. 1917. The twenty-four Freshmen enter the high school as. sixteen Sopho- mores. The leading part is carried by Irene Frick in the Presidential chair. She is well supported in ths reel by the other fifteen charac- ters in the cast. The class is always in for a good time. Reel ends with an all-star cast of seventeen, one new player having joined the company during the season. Third Reel Place: Same Old Place—Time: One Year Later. Same cast as in the third reel, with the addition of five new stars who signed with the company to play the entire season, making four- teen actresses and six actors. Players now look with great disdain on the lower classmen. (Players all very proud and .‘Know It All.’’) This reel is well directed by Miss Coil. The part of President being played by Velma Wertenbarger, assisted by Helen Hawk as Secre- tary and Treasurer. Fourth Reel Place: You ought to know by this time.—Time: Ditto. Reel starts with leading role assumed by Anona Bensing. Practically an all-star cast this season. Some appear to be falling stars, how- ever. The majority of the nocturnal jewels make splendid hit. Play | a decided success. Play ends with much brilliant action on the part | of entire cast. Oe ete | THE END. . |
