CLASS PROPHECY Thursday, May 30, 1929 Prof. Hendrickson's English Class Dear Mamie: My dear! You should have been here last night! You would have died! We had the most fun-I mean, we ACTUALLY did! We played bridge 'til about one and somebody suggested eating-, well, we did-and before we went to bed we ate pretzels and one can of tomato soup and pickles and some stale cake-and I had the funniest dream.

Speaking of Music-did you know?-Whitcraft turned out to be a great violinist. I thought that he gave a recital in Alumni Hall. And" Otts" and" Dickie" were Big Business Men-" Otts" was running a canning factory and "Dickie" was his 'chief assistant. (Every thing was tomatoes!) "Do" Johnson was on the stage doing Big-Time vaudeville. Her big-hit act was" That's the Stuff to Feed the Troops to Make 'Em Fight" and her encore numbers were" Keep Away From Them Swinging Doors, Little Boy," "Madame Dido," and "Who'll Carry the Mail to Red Gulch?" Lots of the kids were on the stage, I remember-"Dot" Grim and Maude Lesher had become page one hundred thirty-six
