SENIOR PROPHECY Hitting the road again and crossing over the Rocky Mountains, Mr. Dunscomb dreams of San Francisco as the city of entertainment. For several moments he browsed through the folder “What to See in San Francisco” and became confused by all the attractions until his eye fell on “Dance With J. C. and his Sambaba-deers.” Vaguely encouraged by the fact that this J. C. might be Carlton who had always wanted to be a band leader, he dined at the hotel where the orchestra was engaged. Surrounded by the elegance of the Ritz Royal Hotel, Mr. Dunscomb was pleased with the delicious food and charmed by the soft music. It was not, however, until the orchestra leader turned and began singing that he was assured of its being our J. C. Carlton hadn't lost any of his swooning power, for he had become a second Sinatra. Mr. Dunscomb chatted briefly with Carlton and learned that two belles of the '49 gold rush days “Rosie” and “Blondie” had located in southern California. In Hollywood the motion picture industry proved most enlightening to him. Of special interest, too, was the make-up department for he noticed that Rosella Camic was in charge of the red-headed division. It did not seem unusual to find her as a beauty counselor, because Rosella was very typical of her type, a real Vivian Blaine. Taking up Rosie’s suggestion that he spend the afternoon at the beach where a beauty contest was being held, Mr. Dunscomb patiently strolled up and down the sand, jingling his keys and waited for the hour of the contest. As the girls walked by the reviewers he thought he recognized a striking blond. When the judges selected the final winner, he was delighted to hear Barbara Moffett’s name called and to see her receive the trophy. Mr. Dunscomb as well as several movie talent scouts offered Barbara congratulations and success in her chosen field, modeling. Having thus uncovered more of the gold panners, Mr. Dunscomb realized that not all of his group had been attracted by the Westward movement, hence he turned his trail toward home. As he rode across the plains of Texas, he read a unique sign advertising “Moores’ Dude Ranch.” This sounded like an inviting place to get a few days rest, so he spurred his attention in the direction of the sign. Met by the owner of the ranch and later introduced to his wife, Mr. Dunscomb was happy to greet the former Kathryn Richards. After enjoying life on a guest ranch, our traveler moved on toward New Orleans. Here the Marde Gras was in full celebration and here, too, were many historical sights of French and Spanish atmosphere. Enjoying the festivity of the occasion, but feeling that he should include something of a more serious nature, he stopped at one of the famous historical museums. Mr. Dunscomb was delighted to be conducted personally through the museum by Marjorie McQueen, a ’49er who had always shown a real interest in history. Leaving New Orleans, our gold spotter, moved on to sunny Florida and intended to spend a few days in Miami. As he walked along Broadway one night he noticed the brilliant lights of a very elite club. The name of the club, “the Golden Nugget,” caught his eye as it reminded him of his gold rush class. Becoming more interested, he looked closer and found the proprietors to be Edwin Welch and Donald Edwards. He chuckled as he recalled their motto, “Wine, women and Song.” On passing through the wagon wheel door he met the two old-timers, Bud and Doc. After exchanging conversation about former classmates, Mr. Dunscomb set out on the trail which would now lead him to Washington, D. C.
