I see you walking out before them and I hear the people shouting, ‘Hit another homer, Dallas, ole boy’!” a Doval Ogden—(When Doval came, the gypsy said she had just told his fortune and wouldn’t be convinced until she saw Dallas and Doval together.) Then she prophesied: “That other boy didn’t make a homer; he struck out, but you came to the bat and knocked the ball out of the lot.” Mildred Dawson— You have a nice job; not too easy, though. You teach girls how to play basketball; you show them how to run and jump. I see you with a large class in a big institution.” Alex Withers—“You are climbing poles like a monkey. Now you go into a big hole in the ground like a groundhog. You are stringing wires. Presently you will be in a big office and on the door will be written: ALEXANDER B. WITHERS CONSULTING ELECTRICAL ENGINEER and many people will come to you.” Lena Glass—“Your fingers look as if you could write beautifully. You are going to make use of this and will be a successful business woman.” Mary Morgan—“Young lady, I don’t know just what your hand shows; but even if you don’t earn your own living, don’t marry, for I see a dark-haired young many who)... -. . Bessie Carr—“Young lady, you are going to sell automobiles. No, you never thought of that; and remember, don’t smash ‘Carrs’ but smash hearts—they don’t cost so much and are more easily repaired or replaced.” Cae Ae a Ml a, a Soe, er Mle, Ven es, nl, Cents Velie, a i Nie ail lite, a, ite il ie ie ie BBP BB PBB LPB PB LVBLPVBQBPBPBPB PTB PB VB LB RIBGPBDLUBSIUBD LUPUS LUSUSASASASIUSO y) Virginia Burnette—“I see you will be very successful, teaching English and N History.

SOOOCOOOL CEC aS, Sentor Class Prophecy SS As a farewell treat our teachers took us to the circus in Lynchburg just before school closed, and there we found an old gypsy woman who insisted that she read our hands; as it was just for fun we assented, and this is about what she told each of us. Anne Shawen timidly came first: “Oh, I see you a young lawyer; and yes, I see a young man, athletic, fairly good-looking, successful in business; he wears glasses sometimes.” Elizabeth Price—“I see you in an office very soon—just a year; you write on a machine—then five o'clock; and some one is saying, “Where is Harry’? ??” Dick Lane— “Your hand shows that you will be not only successful in business but also in love. You will train prize-fighters as an avocation.” Louise Johnson— I see a red head in a white cap; you’re wearing a white dress. Yes, it’s a hospital. You're happy. You help people.” Leona Walden— You're like the red-headed girl. Yes, you’re a nurse, too; take care—you must not smile so at the young doctors.” Virginia Wilburn— “You are troubled. You want to be an interior decorator, yet you seem to have a leaning to soda fountains.” Ralph Shriver—“I see a well-dressed young man, seemingly prosperous. Though I can’t tell what you are going to do, yet what you do, will be done well.” Betty Burton—‘Here’s another nurse. If you faint during the first operation there will be some one to catch you as you fall; and then—maybe you may catch him!” Amy Dalton— A large girls under you, and you are doing well.” Elsie Eades—“A young woman speaking and teaching a dificult subject— Yes, ‘Latin’ they call it. You will be an instructor in a large college in North Carolina.” (We late why she went to North Carolina to teach instead of staying Virginia? ) Clay Morgan—‘Walking around, hands in your pockets, you seem satisfied. What your business is, I can’t tell; but you appear to be making good.” Elizabeth Pote— I see you driving around in a nice-looking car. Oh, yes, you have come to the office to bring hubby home.” Lena Crawford—- You will make queer drawings on the blackboard as you teach. Then there will be lots and lots of figures. But you are happy and successful and your pupils understand you.” 16 a?a3 e%2% 2 2 2 22 2% 2% 2% 2 2 Yo 2 12 eo % soo 2% 2 a2 ” , 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , s , 4 ’ 4 , . , s , = S — — t ao — = is 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , ‘s id 4 , s , 4 i h Oe ae ee i i i a be ah nh by bh he he bh by hy hy be by by by hy hy bh a bh hy by hy Dy a

ARTICLE | To our principal, Mr. Childs, a more elevated Soap Box to stand on while giving exercise, and the privilege of training Sharkey and Dempsey for their next fight. ArticLe II To Miss Phillips, our Math teacher, in answer to her question, “What is an angle?” we bequeath Isaac Walton’s dictum, “A fool at one end, and a worm at the other!” Articie Ill To Mrs. Rowbotham, our English teacher, a book of instructions on how to drive a car and also an ever-ready servant to “fetch” her books for her from room to room. Articie I To Miss Newton, our Spanish, French, and Science teacher, an ice cap to keep her head cool when classes get trifling, rooms are noisy, and 2% inches of dress material. ARTICLE V To Mr. Trent, our History teacher, a museum full of dynosaurs and a whole menagerie of vagrant cats. ArticLe VI To the Junior Class, our perfectly dignified behavior, our pre-eminence as students, always prepared, trusting, as we have exemplified these, they may hand them down unimpaired. Articte VII To the Sophomore Class, one set of shock absorbers for the use of their teachers. 18 7 7 ‘ « ‘ ‘ é 7 é . é ‘ é 7 é . ’ ’ é . é é . é ‘ 7 é ‘ « ‘ « 7 « + é . « ‘ é . 7 ‘ 7 SS a De a De Db i bh bh Dw bY bY Dh hy hy hy hy hy by hy bh Dh bh bh hy hy by by hy hy hy’ Dh Dy Dh wararererererwrere ce PIUNTING «occ rere err erent
