PRDPHECY DORRIS EBBERT r , ,vw VERYONE knows it is impossible to prophesy the x future of any human being. A So, when I was called I upon to foretell the future of each member of this class, I naturally wondered how I was to do it. I --i had madie no headway and -there was only a week M left in which to write it. Then, wh-en I was about to give up in despair, I heard of a man who had a wonderful new invention called the Prophoscope. ' 2 - f--en, i -3.11. 23? ij.

H-e said that if I would secune the photographs of my classmates and the dateiof each one's bir-th, he would depict the futures of the members of the class. After -spending one whole day in securing the birth dates and pictures of my classmates, I went to him with my material. At first he figuned on the date given with each photograph, then he fastened the photo to the Prophoscope, placed 'his eyes to the peephol-es in the machine, and reeled off the events there visible to him. The visions, as he repeated them, are: First we have Stanley Shoemaker, a fm-e looking young man, whom naturie has ordained to be a great musician. He will ably fill the position of playing a Jew's harp before large audiences in a well-known Chicago opera house. Mildred Van Etten who will marry soon, will settle down in Geneva and be much admired because of her social activities. Hubert Van Camp will win great fame as an acrobat, and in the latter part of his life will give orations on the proper care of domesti- cated animals. Marian Hoffman is going to pursue her studies for sometime to come, both at home and abroad. She will publish a most excellent book on English Literature, a revised edition. Robert Harper will attiend the Univer-sity of Michigan and leave there with high standings. This course will do him much good and he will become superintendent of'some large school. After years of luxury, Fannie ,Davison will ble compelled by bank- ruptcy to do her own housework. Later she will 'teach the natives of Africa how to mend stockings. Edward Cole will do a vast amount of good work with his voice by giving temperance talks in the slums of Cement City. mic? wen f sz.:

Harold Dayton is a well known chap, Every afternoon he has a napg But he understands clerking in a s-tore, He says he can do that if nothing more. Deak Thompson, so very clever with paint, All kinds of signs and drawings can makeg A He drives a Ford and puts on style, For everyone he has a smile. M-errill DeFay who is noble and tall- His great-est desire is playing footballg He's a good runner, he can't be beat, He has a hooked nose and very large feet. You need not guess who this will be, For before it is finished you will see. Mary Harris will be with the rest that night For when she's questioned, -she's usually right Fannie Davison we will now discuss, Takes some low marks with a little fuss, She works hard too in Chemistry, Though she had rather read poetry. Dorris Cole is very faithful and true, For everyone she has a How-do-you-do. She wears a smile, with seldom a frown, And' is glad sh'e's a graduate from this town. Here is Vlelma Smith who is so kind, In English Lit. she really uses her mind: She has bobbed hair and drives a Star, Has lots of ba-ttles but not many a scar. Now John Harris is good all right, He never stays out late at nightg When he was a Freshman, he was green, ' Now h-e's a Senior, this cannot be seen. Now for myself, just three more lines, In High School life I have had fine times, I had to work hard for what I got, But when I got it, I got a lot. Now for our class here is a little hi-story, For no individual conceives any myst-ery, All taken together as in y-ears before, Make up this class of twenty-four. 'Qt cixengfgfe
