that such small things are not what
count toward happniess.”
Now Leona speaks, “ Yes and
Percy Leonard writes that he can al
most look at his wife now, without
shuddering, since he brought her a
new set of false teeth and a wig.”
“Oh,” exclaims Elizabeth, “Doesn’t
it all go to prove that the only sure
way to purchase a husband or wife
is through our exchange?”
But we shall have to leave your
conversation there, however interest
ing, for the time is short and we have
the future of many more classmates
to look into.
I see you, Carrie, as the efficient
proprietress of quite an up-to-date
beauty-parlor. Although Florence
Sink is impatii.ntly waiting for you to
fill an engagement with^her, she un
concernedly continues to manicure
upon the nails of Joe Walser, who
undergoes the agony daily in order
that he may bask in the sunshine of
your smile.
The scene changes. Now I see- a
side street of a small town. Tnere
is but one man on the streets. He
stops at each door and shows to each
housekeeper a book he takes from a
case he carries. Ah, a book-agent!
The horror of all housewives. He
is now speeling off to the patiently
suffering Nellie Sink the latest quibs
from his Book of Etiquette, of which
he, our old friend Cortey Anderson,
is the proud author.
Lucy Belle, behold Lexington of
1933, where you are appearing in
Leonard’s theatre. You have been
persuaded for old times’ sake to stop
off in your home town on a great
southern tour—with much excitement
the Lexingtonians used the bill
boards:
Prima Donna Lucy Belle Leonard
to Appear in her Latest Musical
Comedy Success
“THE LEXHIPEP”
Written Expressly for her by the great
Playwright Spaugh Thompson.
Outstanding Members of the Cast are
Ethel Hedrick and Eugenia
Webster—Great Soloists.
Mary Sink, Graceful Ballet-Dancer
Carey Shepherd—Baritone.
You, Moton, I see a wealthy man,
having won your millions from the
invention of a unique musical instru
ment, the Barnyard Skueakum, which
imitates and animal or fowl in ex
istence.
And Grace, you too take a gaze
Into the ball. A great circus! What
can it mean! Ah, I see, a snake
charmer. Still at your old tricks
I see, a charmer as of old.
Protus, I see you running against
Herman Leonard for governor of the
state. But you are defeated, main-
Ij' because of Herman’s diligent cam
paign leader Violette Cross. Now,
I guess you won’t fight woman suf
frage in the future.
Griffith, behold yourself as a great
contractor, and at this moment see
yourself observing with pride your
most wonderful piece of work, a
great steel bridge over Michael’s
Branch.
You, Bruce, I perceive to be the
ideal of school boys and girls. For
see, upon a platform you stand and
deliver one of a series of astounding
lectures which have taken by storm
over the country. “Every Day in
Every Way I grow smarter and
smarter without any Study” is your
subject. As a fitting example of the
success of your method you take
Raymond Hedrick with you from
town to town and exhibit him at
your lectures.
And finally you, Virginia, perhaps
our most ambitious classmate, real
ize your ambition to become a great
Latin teacher. Listen to a conver
sation you are having with a friend
this time ten years hence and you
will see to just what height you will
have reached.
“Yes,” you are saying, “The Latin
classes have improved very much
since I took hold of things. But
why should they persist in using the
so-called classics when my twentieth
century Latin magazine is so much
better. My editorials far exceed
Cicero at his most eloquent moments,
and Virgil seems discordant when com
pared to my lofty Lyric strains, etc.
We haven’t time for more.
These are the events in your lives
that I have found most Interesting to
me. So I have been glad to pass them
on to you and share with you this
remarkable vision of mine, hoping
that it may answer for you, as satis
factorily is it has answered for me,
the all-important question, ‘What is
going to become of the Class of
1923 ?” LOIS HACKNEY.
