l30OMl'1RANG1941 CLASS PROPHECY UPCJN opening the paper May 28, 1951, the first thing which drew my attention was Bill Far- low's famous gossip column. Bill, as you know, took over VValter Yvinchellls column but instead of retaining YValter's man Friday, Bill has my Gal Gordon. Some recall this position is held by Kath- ryn Gordon. Bill's column read as follows: It is re- ported by reliable sources that Governor Kenneth Busch will set aside June 3 as a holiday forthe date that a boat will dock in New York harbor, bearing that famous Shakespearean actor, Jack Dickey and actress Marikay Mulvihill, who are returning from many stage hits abroad. According to their man- ager, Marjorie Benge, the famous couple will be met at the dock by Governor Busch, Mayor Dixie John- son, and the United States Army band under the di- rection of Merle Mueller. Also arriving on the boat will be the famous Allen swing quartet, Ada, Vivian. Lucile, and Ray, who have just returned from a hit on the Paris stage. One passenger, however, will be missing. Diek Ilgenfritz will remain in Africa play- ing his drums for the lessons the natives are taking from lyfary King on how to rumba. VVell, so much for the passengers. Now about what's going on in our fair city of New York. My Gal Gordon reports that Charles Abrahams has at last found a job after his nervous breakdown. He lost so much weight that he is now riding that famous horse, Fashion Flashes, owned by that wonderful horse woman, Catherine Cunning- ham. Cecil Porter, a famous playboy, has decided to give up his merry life and teach school. Miles Hood is now playing on Broadway in the famous play, Romeo and Juliet. He plays the part of Juliet. The latest swing hits are written by none other than Eugene Balius. Ruth Morrissey is with the circus playing in Chicago as the fat woman. VVayne Anderson plays the part of the midget in the same circus. Philip Carey is still continuing his filibuster in the Senate of the United States against the passage of the bill demanding that all women's skirts be lengthened. Phyllis Hymes, Bernice Smith, and Virginia Lee Saum are also trying to get a bill passed' de- manding leap year every two years. The famous movie cowboy, Ellington Mills, will sing in his lat- est picture besides getting the girl, played by Mary Griffith. Leota Foglesong is living in Africa as a missionary but when last heard from, she had taken up hunting for wild life. My Gal Gordon brings me a sad piece of news to print. It seems that Burton Yates was seen going down for the third time in the Hudson River . Burt was looking for the book con- taining his girls' addresses, which he accidentally lost in the river. Jack Mulvihill has finally settled down and is farming over by Van Meter. VVilma Cleveland and Naomi Caudle are employed in a dressmaking shop. Just a minute, it is reported that while fitting a dress on a customer, VVilma ac- Puge Tzwmfy-two cidentally pinned the lady to the dress and is now unemployed. I went over to Ralph Evans, night club the other night and was surprised to see the bouncer was none other than my friend, Xlerle Libby. Also employed by Ralph are Mary Jane Childers and Marilynn Adams, who sing for their supper. Ralph reports that his two most regular patrons are the taxicab driver, Melvin Johnson, and poet, O. D. Addy, who come to escort the girls home after their supper. Mary Jane Strong and May Adams are co-ed- ito1's of that famous magazine, .ldvanfages of Good Ilealtlz. Annabelle Cooper is with an opera com- pany and in her spare time sings with a swing band. The movie star, Ann Sothern, has retired and Betty Alexander now plays the roles of Maizie in the movies. VVeaver Porter is also in the movies, replac- ing John Barrymore as the Great Profile, Clarence Lucas and Bellezora Cooper are now Blondie and Dagwood of newspaper and movie fame. The ble- Donald tumbling aet is receiving rapid recognition throughout the United States. As you probably al- ready know, it consists of Georgia, Phyllis, and Zola lVIcDonald. James lNloorhead and Leslie Thom- as, the great genius inventors, have perfected a desk for students which will unfold to make a bed. The city of VVinterset has a new mayor, Blil- dred Glenn, and a new dog catcher, Gene Eyerly. Klary Benson and Irene Tracy are running a filling station south of VVinterset. Naomi Abrahams, a wealthy widow, furnished the VVinterset High School with an elevator. It is rumored that Bernadine Zink is the operator. No serious accidents have yet occurred because most of the students still use the stairs. Doris Sawyer and Bill Igo are now co- editors of the lVinIersct News. A new feature of the News is the advice to the lovelorn column, writ- ten by Nick Schoencnberger. Rex Luke is now su- perintendent of the YVinterset schools and is follow- ing the rules set by li. YV. Blair, former superin- tendent. Sara Catherine Field, Frieda Hayden, and Agatha Beem are models in Joe Banks' Clothing Store. Lyle Givan is now connected witll M'. G. BI. movie company. He makes the roar for Leo the Lion on their trademark. Dorothy Boyd, Nlildred Butler, and Phyllis Barr were sent to South America to develop friend- ly relations between the U. S. and that country. You will see Al Cox's picture on billboards through- out the U. S. advertising hair grower, invented by VVinifred Pullman and Geraldine Jones. Florence Richards, Doris Tidrick, and Doris VVight are tak- ing a trip around the world to get away from it all. By all, I mean, of course, the bad weather. Thelma VVallace, Edna Hope and Arlene Lehman are teach- ing readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic at the Patterson High School. Clara Goodman, Marie Welch, and CContinued on Page GOD
