.. ... L . tags Constance McGregor-She will be the eightieth President of the United States, elected by the Independent Party. Active in Politics since infancy. Mayor of her town three times. United States Senator two terms, Speaker of the National House of Repre- sentatives one term. Sponsored the bills of disenfranchising saxaphone players, radio crooners, and talkative fishermen. Hobby: Crotcheting bathmats. Marjorie Porteus-She is a charming type, domestic and capable, but with a slight in- feriority complex, due to the unfortunate fact that once she -received only second prize in an international bread-baking contest. She is the happy wife of a prominent business man and gives lectures on home-making, the kind that teach you how to feed ten people seven days on twenty-three cents each. Now, what is this? Ah, Edith Reddick confides She's anxious to get married. and decides To answer Yes to the first one, who dares To proffer her the honored name he bears. Esther Riggle-VVe find her engaged in giving piano lessons to a small boy with sticky fingers, who is trying to play exercise number thirteen. She is gritting her teeth to keep from spanking him and is counting l, 2, 3. She finally sweeps the child off the stool and plays the exercise for him. Hobby: Flopping pancakes. Ida Mae Salrin-She has artistic ability, keen business sense, and the understanding of the so-called human cosmetician. She is the proprietor of Ye Beautiful Shoppe - alterations while you wait-up-to-date ship, combining the arts of beauty culture and plastic surgery. People will enter looking like sixty and emerge looking like sixteen. jack Shaw-He is a steam riveter. Likes a quiet atmosphere. He's putting nuts in the sanitarium at the Present time. He was always a quiet chap. l'm positive he is the most refined steam iriveter in the business. He is probably raising dogs and cats on the side. YIVC can't decide whether he is married or not. Jean Shaw-He is a very ordinary case, having no outstanding characteristics. Since infancy he has rhymed words with ease. He wishes to be a poet, but finds difficulty in securing subjects about which to write. His future is plain to see. Fifteen years from now, although he has no knowledge of music, he will be a successful song writer. One of his songs will be: There's a Ga-Ga.Girl in Guatemala. Robert Stilgenbauer-Exact spacing and alignment: perfect writing showing a meth- orlical and accurate nature, At the end of twenty years, I see him as head chemist in a laboratory that is known all over the civilized world. His experiments have been so suc- cessful that he has isolated the germs of hay fever, laziness, love and hate. Germs that enter his laboratory should wear life preservers to keep from being captured. Herbert Waud-In this great age of endurance contests. he will become the champion of champions by simply making up his mind what he wants to do and doing it. By l950, he will become Arnerica's champion pole sitter, non-stop aviator, radio listener, and mara- thon singer. He will be the world's undisputed swimmer, for once dropped in, he will swim back and forth, until his manager remembers to come and fish him out. Onie Welker--She is the private secretary to the head of a huge corporation. He was born crazy and had a relapse and won't let her come back and visit her home town. She will probably get married soon after acquiring this position in order that she may get away from this job. What's this? Erma Weingarth would like to be-a nurse! Well, now, that's good! I'm sure she might do worse, There's always need of loving heart and hand To care for those whom constant care demand: And she seems gifted with a tender heart- Yes, l believe she's fitted for the part. - GNVENEVERE BUSER, GRACE H INDS. Prophecy Editors. l17fl

- CLASS PROPHECY FROM A scRAP.BAG Classmates, it is a well-known saying, often proved true, that Coming events cast theirashadows before. Therefore, it is not so hard, as many people supposefor one, who takes the trouble to study the comings and goings of his fellow-creatures, to be some- thing of a prophet, and to form some idea, more or less correct, of what their future course of action will be. ' We have always been possessed with the ambition to become detectives, and just for practice in preparing ourselves for this profession, we have kept a sharp eye on all of you, when you were perhaps unaware that you were being observed at all. Therefore we feel that we can judge with some degree of accuracy the lives into which your personal char- acteristics and inclinations will lead you in the yeairs to come. Robert Baker-He is a solid, slow-moving crap who will never display either speed or animation, and who can be trusted implicitly never to hurry. He will become a plumb- er's assistant, 'the one who goes back for the monkey wrench and can't find it. He will continue in that restful occupation until he dies of old age. Lloyd Bender-He is a farmer, who ,raises winter wheat and summer squashes. He is a scientific farmer and knows all about rotation of crops and everything. I yvonder if he .raises shorthorns? I never can remember whether they are cows or tnrnips, but he probably raises them anyway. James Berlean-He is an orchestra leader and a composer of great distinction. He is manried to Rosa Trillalotta, leading soprano of the Cosmopolitan Opera Company. For the last five years, Mr. Berlean has been leader of the Phildiscordant Orchestra and Air Force Band. Hobby: Raising spaniels. Gwenevere Buser4If it be true that Speech is silver and silence is golden, then she is a vertiable gold mine. When excited, she has been known to utter three complete sen- tenceslin succession, but usually confines her remarks to Yes'i and 'tNo. We think she will turn her thoughts toward teaching school. She may get married, but it is doubtful, due to the breaking of a first love. Virginia Clark-Leading Dramatic Soprano with the Metropolitan and Chicago Opera Companies. Substantial, but not fat. You wouldn't expect her to count her words, and she doesn't, but she is evidently still careful with her calories. Carl Gessel-He is a janitor of a large Washington Cathedral. He can talk rapidly. His enunciation is so perfect that he seems to take the syllables out of a word, dust them off, and put them back again. I Grace Hinds-R. S., A. B., M. A., Ph. D., D. D. S., F. O. B., and S. O. S., Dean ofthe Dormitory College for Girls for the past ten years and an educator of note. Author of What lsn't Wirong With Education? and How to Teach Latin to a Low I. Q. Prides herself on having the most expensive college in America. Hobby: Failing to pass intelligence tests. Wilma Lyons-An instructor in plain and fancy golf, making much money at five dollars a lesson. Also she gives bridge 'and oil painting lessons to spectators between golfing efforts. She always was the most industrious person in the class and she evi- dently l1asn't changed any. She didn't tell ns what she was doing in the morning-per- haps taking in washings and giving boxing lessons. Francis McAllister-Rear Admiral of the Navy and target shooting expert. It is be- lieved that because of his remarkable radio broadcasts on Deep Sea Navigation Beyond the Rockies, he will receive a promotion making him Admiral. Unmarried, but flirting with the Honolulu Gals. Hobby: Oyster dredging. A boy who argues morning, ncon and night And wins if he be wrong or right, W So Robert McClure will be, of course A lawyer, criminal and divorce. E161
