'Che SENIOR SICKLE 1922 CLASS PROPHECY WALTER Wars gf: 1153 OME months ago the program committee of the Senior Class re- quested me to consult competent magicians concerning t-he future of the individual members of the class. I at once sold all my world- ly possessions, including one Physics notebook with all experi- ments carefully recorded, one Chemistry notebook in which all L 3' formulas were carefully written out, the solution of several origin- als in Algebra and Geometry, twelve book reviews, and a set of outside readings in American History, to weak but deserving members of the Junior Class for such a sum as made it possible for me to visit the Orient. In Egypt, I found a seventh son of a seventh son, noted for his ability to read the stars, who gazed into the azure sky above him, made certain mystic signs, and read the horoscope for each of my classmates. I had previously supplied myself with a package of index cards and as he read I wrote, but so glib of tongue was he, I was able to get only the most important of his statements. I have the cards with me and at this time I shall be glad to give the readings of the horoscope. Lawrence Hayward and Walter Miller, say the stars, will hold import- ant commands in the Alaskan Volunteers, when Alaska attempts to subjugate Siberia. Clarence Ehinger will become a wealthy owner of a peanut ranch in south Carolina, and, adjoining his estate, will be the plantation where Argue and Crandall will raise sunflower seed for Miss Cheney's poultry farm in Ogden, Michigan. Forest Cook will wed Edith Church and they will tour Switzerland where they will get material for their play t'The Moonshine Still in the Dark. Carl Groth, Leilah Kerr, Anne Moreland and Lolita Schomp will have leading parts in the production. Fred Fairbanks will become a salesman for the Cant-Stretch Dog Collar Co., of Jasper, owned by Blanche Barnes and Sarah Breese. Carl Smith will write a world-famous book entitled Michigan From a Mule's Back. Herbert Wilkinson, the astrologer said, would be the Adrian City health officer with an office located over Richardson and Schmitt's under- taking parlors.

'Che SEJNIOR SICKLE 1922 CLASS WILL I: R. PRESIDENT, Friends, The Class of Twenty-two, about to die, salutes you! Contrary to the custom in such cases, and loath as are all mem- bers of my conservative profession to establish precedents, only at the behest of my noble client, Twenty-two, have I called you 3fll 9' together, before her death, to hear her will and to receive her gifts. I am persuaded to this action by the unusual circumstances of my client-. I dread to tell you, but be calm: The doctor is here ready to revive all fainting ones, but he cannot attend many. Here is my secret, keep it Well! A consultation of doctors was called together on May the 31st,-doctors are never known to fail in their prognostications. They have announced that on Thursday, June the eighth, Twenty-two must die. Had I known what a commotion you would raise, and how badly you would feel, the President himself, could not have dragged this secret from me. My client wishes me to state that, owing to a lightness in the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last three years, and a heaviness in the heart and other organs, caused by thoughts of parting, she may have been mistaken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has, she gives to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only because she cannot keep her goods that she is generous. THE WILL We, the Class of Twenty-two, being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding, do make and pub- lish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the obsequies be performed with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the school scale has merited. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates of our strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows, viz.: Item: We give and bequeath to Miss Patch restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise her a rest from Twenty-two's petitions. No more will we be called upon to beg for White slips 3-no more will she be pained to issue those of azure hue. It has been hard for us to have our excuses refused, it must have been hard for her to refuse them. Item: We give and bequeath to Miss Higbee permission to have orchestra rehearsals every sixth hour, in the assembly room. I tem: To Miss Marshall we give and bequeath the exclusive use of the picture machine together with such money and receipts as may accrue for the use thereof-to her, her heirs and assigns forever.
