'F 'Che Tiger Stripe 'I' Prophecq of the Class of '22 HAD just arrived on the Rotterdam from Paris. I had expected to be met by my old school chum, Miller, but I could not locate him. After wandering about for awhile, I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned to see a man of medium height, smiling like a clown. Well! Well ! I shook Miller's hand. I thought I had missed you. What have you been doing ? he asked. Oh, just taxing the public. I'm a lawyer, I had a case in - - I repeated. And what have you been doing ? he asked. Welll Well! I can hardly believe it. This is a surprise indeed. As we were motoring through the traflic, I noticed that the mayor was saluted by everybody so I felt elated to be in his company. Finally we arrived at his home and there I was introduced to Mrs. Miller. I recognized her at once. She had been graduated from Wellsville High School the year before I had been. After dinner we retired to Miller's den and while we smoked we talked of various subjects and eventually our conversation turned to Wellsville and the High School. Being very much interested I asked Harold if he ever heard of the members of our class. Harold replied: To be sureg we had an anniversary last year, our tenth anniversary. Everyone was there and you should see some of them now. It surely was fine to be back. Where are they all and what are they doing? I'd love to hear some news of my old partners. Well, he said, handing me the evening paper, there's one, and in large head lines I read: MISS CORA WICKLINE, OPERA SINGER IN CONCERT AT CARNEGIE MUSIC HALL. Remembering Cora's ability in High School I'm glad to hear of her success. Yes, but read on over, he answered. There is another classmate who has been successful. Ted Sinclair, Editor of 'Truth,' a magazine of the same. He always had literary ability in school and I am glad he has followed it up. Ted is receiving help from his wife, who also had had experience in this line, hav- ing been Editor of the 1921 'Tiger Stripe'. But what of the others, I inquired. Well, I'll tell you. Prepare for a long tale. Thus he began his re- cital: Ruth Irwin has been coaching girls' athletics at Margaret Morrison in Pittsburgh. As a side line she is teaching Latin and Geometry. This is like a book, I said. Go on. Pearl Kinney, remember her? She took the place of Gale Henry on the stage. She married a fine young man from Boston and she confided in me at the reunion that she had rejected several gentlemen suitors. Elizabeth DeTemple is married and living in Boston. She married a man by the name of 'Allan' something-I forget now. I can't remember his name. Poor 'Lizzie,' I remember her well. Lenora McLaughlin is head stenographer at Sears Sz Robuck Co. That girl will succeed, I said. Pud Woodward went to college, then he got married. I can't locate him now, but I will soon. Married! I suppose it was a youthful romance, I said. Don't worry over 'Pud'. l9

'I' The Tiger Stripe 'U' 'Dot' Quale has become a nurse and is now President of Women's Club of Graciousness. Yes, and also we have a mind reader. Grace Stoffel has taken the place of Eva Fay and is widely demanded. Remember Driggs? Wait a minute. Miller got up and started the victrola. The sweetest strains of music. When it was over I said, Fine, but why the music ? That orchestra is the 'Driggs' Melody Six'. Play it again, I said, it sounds like they used to sound in assembly. They make excellent music. Oh, yes, Gladys Kohert is working in Washington, D. C., for Uncle Sam. She is a letter expert. Fine, couldn't be otherwise, I replied. Ruth Bunting is traveling companion for Lady Gotmutch. She is en- joying herself very much. She is quite a conversationalist, I remember. 'Kats' Ripper and Roland McIntosh both are with American running teams at Olympic games. They placed in one thousand meter race in the same order. They both are runners from A to Z, I replied, and clean-cut men, but they are now too old to run. He went over to the table and brought back a book and there in black letters I read: Before and After by Miss Viola Caldwell. This is her greatest success, I'll bet. I must read it. Kennedy is an inventor, he invented a gyrasphone, an attachment to the telephone, that shows the face of the talker plainly while talking. He will succeed in this line of work, I said. There was a rather heavy-set girl in our class but I can't remember her name, Miller spoke up. ' Well, we ought to remember, I said. She lived downtown. Oh, that's Ruth Culp, I'll bet. Tell me has Ruth prospered and what is she doing. I have not heard of her in three years, but at that time she was on the sta.ge with a Troupe of Gymnastsf' What? Can she do swings and turns ? Miller answered. Well, she is always well spoken of by the papers, so she must. Hel' stage name is Madame Wellstonf' Well, I must look her up. But, remember Saltsman? He is out in the West somewhere with a tractor company. Good, I hope he sells enough tractors for the dead sea, I answered. Bruce Hoffman is business manager for the New York Bum Sign Co. He makes things go. He has placed the company on a firmhbasisf' I believe it, I replied, I know he can do it. Pearl Huff thought to enter the movies but was sidetracked by mar- riage before she arrived. She got a dandy man. He is a missionary from Africa. I think they both will go over soon. To think of Pearl teaching heathens, I muttered. And, oh, yesg Mary Hamilton is traveling around the country on the home talent play 'Which Hazel! She is doing nicely. I'll bet Mary is good at it. Another member of our class, Helen McIntosh. has studied and prac- ticed until she is now playing on the violin for 'Wonder Records'. Being served with lemonade, we drank to the class of '22. You remember back in '22 a guy built like a Tarzan, who trotted all over the gym? . 20
