of Dover, County of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, do make this our last will and testament and do herein name Mr. Read of Room 12, Dover High School, in the Village of Dover, County of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, our admin- istrator and do enjoin him to carry out fully this our last will and testament, to which we, the members of the Class of 1932, do set our hand and seal this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred Thirty- two. CLASS PROPHECY . The White House. Washington, D. C.,. April 1, 1965. Dear Beth: I received your kind request that I use my influence to prevent the bill pro- viding for a tax on bachelor girls from becoming law. Realizing that it would affect you, I shall veto it. You ask if I have any news of the members of the Class of 1932. On my campaign tour last fall I met several of them. At this writing Peter Francis is here lobbying for shorter beats for musicians. I had quite a visit with him, outside of business. A few months ago, when he was in Dover, he attended the installation of Coletta Stopp as Mayor. The following week, when she announced her cabinet, she offered Hugh Griffin the position of safety director, which he promptly accepted. Charles Hall is head of the Sky Clearing Department. While campaigning in Louisiana, I found James Nesbit bailing water out of the Mississippi to prevent it from overflowing its banks. When I arrived in Dover on my tour I was met at the station by a reception committee composed of Eleanor Schaumberg, Molly Bruce, and Christine Stark, whose married name I have forgotten. The committee was headed by Frank Nosko, who later in the evening introduced me to the audience. CI hear he is traveling in Europe to regain his voice after an extensive lecture tour.j Before and after my speech, the International Amalgamated Sympathy Orchestra, under the direction of Arlene Limpert, furnished the music. In New England I encountered Charles Jenkins, who is visiting the haunts of all the old poets in a futile effort to write poetry. Mary Hoag sent me a copy of her latest novel. Before I finished it Senator Blank of Massachusetts borrowed it, and now has it before the Senate for censorship. Edmund Wilbert, the greatest inventor since Edison, is here applying for a patent on his newest invention, a pretzel that can be straightened without breaking. He says that Ralph is conducting a column of 'AAdvice for Married Men in the Dover Evening Star. While attending, a peace meeting in Samarang, in the South Sea Islands, where they have inaugurated half-minute divorces, I came across Geraldyne Stoll, who was there getting untangled from her fourth matrimonial adventure. At the close of the conference I journeyed to China. And whom do you suppose I discovered? None other than Dorothy Bailey, who is giving home hints to Chinese housewives over Television Station JAP. She receives the Fourleen

During a stopover in the Hawaiian Islands I found Elizabeth Owens giving instructions in dancing to the belles of Honolulu. I arrived in Los Angeles in time to witness the unveiling of a statue to bashful lovers, the work of Raymond Balazs, the noted sculptor. The unveil- ing was done by Vivian Hoag, who was in the city attending a conference. She informed me that the previous day it had been decided at the suggestion of Prof. Lawrence Deeks, to eliminate English and substitute a course in the study of romance under her supervision. The idea was unsuccessfully opposed by Agnes Stark, head of the English Department of Westwood Seminary. Several months ago I took one of the Round-the-world-in-a-day cruises offered by the World-In-A-Day Zeppelin Corporation, of which Leonard Al- bers is general manager. In Scotland I met Ruth Krone, who was there for atmosphere for her latest play, 'AThe Scotch Spendthriftf' Ruth told me that Minnie Garbler was leading ballet dancer in the Cafe De Luxe in Paris, but I did not see her. In Egypt I came upon Professor Milton M. Bloomfield studying the phren- ology of the Sphinx, introductory to writing a book on the men of the Poleo- lithic Age. Of course, a visit in Egypt would not be complete unless one visited the Great Pyramid. When I arrived I found Howard Sinzinger' counting the number of blocks used in its construction, as data for a future article in his newspaper column. In India I encountered Fred Guelker, M. D., who is in that country in the capacity of private physician to the Maharajah's favorite dog. He first leaped to fame after his amputation of the salary of Grace Smith, movie actress in Brazil. I In the Antarctic I found Evelyn Horwedel, accompanied by Betty Scherer, searching for the South Pole, which Avie had theoretically proved existed. When last heard from, she was expounding the theory that someone had stolen it before she arrived. I heard yesterday that Bettie Brown is in Alaska teaching French to the Eskimos, but I didn't see her when I was there. ' As ever, THE HON. KATHRYN E. SCHMITZ, President of the U. S. A. P. S.-I almost forgot to tell you that Elenore Karsten and Winifred Prechtel are in Turkey. They are secretaries to the Sultan, their duties being to record the name of his latest wife as soon as he marries her. ' SENIOR PLAY Daddy Long-Legs was chosen for the Senior play this year because of its long-standing popularity and also because of the large cast. Dorothy Bailey, as Judy Abbott, plays the leading role. She is a pretty girl, eighteen years old, who has been reared in an orphan asylum. She is bril- liant, and shows great ability in writing. Charles Hall as Jervis Pendleton, a New York philanthropist, is induced by Miss Pritchard, as played by Vivian Continued on page Forty-two Fifteen
